NOBILITY OF TRIES. A Tribute to (he Miijeily of the MlKlity Onk. Irectly in my path stood an ancient swamp white onk, the greatest tree, I think, that I have ever seen. It was not the highest nor the largest round, per haps, but Individually, spiritually, the greatest. Hoary, hollow mid hrokeii limbed, his huge bole seemed encircled With the centuries, nnd In tills green and grizzled top all the win Is of heav en had some time come. One could worship In the presence of such a tree as easily as In 1 lie shadow of a vast cathedral. Indeed, what Is there built with hands that has the dig nity, the majesty, the dignity, of life? And what life was here! Life whose beginnings lay so far back that 1 eoul l no more reckon the years than I could count the atoms it bad bullded Into this majestic form. Looking down upon him from twice his height loomed a tulip poplar, clean, boiled for thirty feet anil In the top all green nnd gold with blossoms. It was a resplendent thins beside the oak, yet how unmistakably the gnarled old mon arch wore the crown! Ills girth more than balanced the poplar's great height, and, as for blossoms, nature knows the beauty of strength and Inward majesty and has pinned no boutonnlere upon the oak.

"Coo-e-e" is the curious cry that was one of the siguals of the native blacks of Australia. The cry was speedily adopted by the invading whites. The final "e" is a very high note, n sort of prolonged screech that resounds for long distances through the bush, and thus enables separated persons to as certain their relative positions. On one notable occasion this peculiar cry was heard In I.onlon. A daring bushranger made bis appearance one morning in front of n bunk In Hallarat and coolly posted n notice on the door to the ef fect that the place would bo closed for an hour. Entering, lie terrorized the olllcials with his revolver nnd got clear away with $:10,(KM). Some time afterward the authorities received Information that the man had been seen In London. One day a detective thought he espied his man in the Strand; but, not being quite sure, he hit upon an expedient. He uttered a piercing "Coo-e-e." Passersby stood fixed In astonish ment, bnt the Australian, acting on the spur of the moment and recognizing the familiar sound, hastened to the per son who uttered It. He was promptly arrested nnd was taken back to Aus tralia. Chicago News. POWER OF PURPOSE. Conceive Yoar Ambition Clenrlr tnd Follow It Conrnirennnly. We all can measure the outward tri umph of a man's life, but we rarely measure the forces out of which the triumph sprang. Men suddenly emerge into the blaze of fame, and then the world wakes up nnd wonders how it has all happened. There Is no such thing as luck in nny world over which God presides. What, then, is the se cret? It is purpose. The great victo ries which men praise are always won first of all In a mnn's own soul. The great men who stamp themselves ln effaceably on the ages are alwayB the men who are capable of conceiving a purpose clearly and of following It courageously through evil and good re port. You may sweep aside as rela tively trivial all questions of the range of their gifts, the scope of their Intel lectual life. The great thing which you have to reckon with is the Im mense strength and heroic persistency of their purpose. W. J. Dawson. Tnnte and Touch. Touch, Dr. Andrew Wilson has re minded us, is probably the oldest of our senses. It is also, we may add, the most active where taste has always been assumed to bo paramount at the dinner table. It Is a fact overlooked that we like what we like less because we taste It than because we feel It What is there wonderful In the taste of your perfect, your ripe potato? Noth ing or little. But, ah, the feeling! What have the resistance of bread, the sudden coolness of butter, the ten derness of asparagus, the crlspness of biscuit, to do with taste? Something almost negligible.

Chicago News. ) Thm Lower Anlmt !, Animals have keen pi rceptlons keener in many respects than our own but they form no conceptions, have no powers of comparing one thing with another. They live entirely In and through their senses. To all that inner world of reflection. Imagination, com parison, reason, they nre strangers. They never return upon themselves In thought They have sense memory, sense intelligence, and the.- profit In many ways by experience but they have not soul memory or ra onitl intel ligence. All the fundament 1 emotions and appetites men and the lower ani mals share In common, su 'i as fear, anger, love, hunger, Jealout , cunning, pride, curiosity, play, but t! e world of thought and thought expi len.-o and the emotlous that go with it belong to man alone. It Is as If the psychic world were divided Into two planes, one above the other, the plane of sense and the plane of spirit. In the plane of sense live the lower animals, only now and then Just breaking for a moment Into tho higher plane. In the world of jenso man Is Immersed also. This Is his start and foundation, but ho rises Into the plane of spirit, nnd here lives his proper life. He Is emancipated from sense in a way that beasts are not. The KvprsJmlen. The climate of the Everglades of Florida is almost faultless. It Is singu larly equable, showing no extremes of heat and cold nnd not subject to sud den change. Even n "norther," coming out of the region of Ice and snow, Is Boon softened to milder temperature, and the heat of summer Is made genial, though the mercury may be well up In the eighties, by the ozonized air which Is everywhere in the glades. The year is divided Into the dry nnd rainy sea sons. The latter may be roughly spo ken of as Including June nnd Septem ber, although well in the glades sud den light showers In limited areas are likely at any season, and in the autumn a high degree of humidity Is constant.

Century. The Wrong Spirit. The president of the New York Nor mal college was addressing a band of young women. "Young women," he said, "generally make excellent teach ers. But if you dislike the work turn to anything else but teaching. We cannot succeed ever in what we hate. Bad teachers, when we find tliein, are persons who dislike their work. They nre like the young girl In the country town who said to one of her friends: " 'Yes, I am going to take up teach ing.' 'The friend looked amazed. 'You?' she exclaimed. 'You n schoolteacher? Why, I'd rather marry a widower with nine children.' " 'So would I,' said the other. 'But where Is the widower?' "New York' Tribune. Origin of the Itatijo. In the early part of -the nineteenth century In the town of Banjoemns, on the Island of Java, a negro native de termined to construct a musical Instru ment for his own use. Taking a cheese box and heading It with a goutskin, he ran a handle through It, nnd. adapting violin strings tuned to the first, third, fifth nnd eighth notes of an octave, he christened it a banjo, from the first two syllables of his native town. Grad ual Improvements on this rough and ready Instrument were made, and about the middle of the century It crossed the Atlnntlc nnd, though unpopular n Lon don at first,. soon became well liked.

The Grent Ainerlenn Novel. The grent American novel, of which so much wns once heard, does not come, but the work Is gradually being written In departments. The country Is too vast, as the novelists have per haps seen, for one novel to cover the ground as they used to hope.

C., was supposed to be the first wo mnn to dress herself In silken raiment, though silk wns used In the arts nearly 1,000 yenrs before her reign. She wns placed among the Chinese divinities un der the title of "Slen-Thsan," which means "first promoter of the silk In dustry." Silk wns worth its weight In gold In many parts of the world for centuries. Its Immense cost may be estimated by the fact that a silken garment Is men tioned as one of the wanton prodigali ties of the Emperor Hcllogabalus, while a gown of the same material was re fused by Aurcllus to bis empress on tho ground that he couldn't afford the price. Such was the importance of the silk industry in China that the people in the principal growing and manufacturing district took the nnrue of "Seres" and their country "Serlcn," from the word "Se," which in the ancient writings means "silk." A curious thing about silk is this: The raw material Is pro duced by the cheapest labor in the world, while the" finished product is among the most costly of merchandise. VENETIAN WOMEN.
