Ab this period Misa McLean was residing in Midland, and her condition be- came so bad bhab she was finally compelled to take be her bed.

" I think, sir, you she zld Iook over tome of your eon's wild ways." ," I do," thundered the old man, " look over 'cm every day, and the more I look the madder I got." Here's a Column Worth Reading and Remembering. OUHIOUS STO] Y OP THE DUTCH, How Nature Frustrated the Bestows of an Old-time ilfouoitoliet—Trec, i?1OWer and Nut—H tkods of Harvesting, In all histerio ages, writes Edith 0. Heath, in "Dee:toreab's," mon have dared the perils of the sea and desert is the search for three things --gold, gems and spieae. If we desired to be extremely teamed we ooeld doubtless formulate an indisputable array of antborib'ea, proving that Hamiloar, the Certhagenten, in his voyage of Aftioan circumnavigation stored the holds of his galleys with all sorts of arentabie products. We might dig eut of Herodotus quotations showing hew the Lydiaes, C,riaoe, lh emendates and Egyp- tlaoos bireered hags ,f epiooa for gold trice and ststere. We might even read, wlih the aid of Marlette and Champolllan, in the hieroglyphics of the roost' tombs of Thebes and Perim, the reosipls for the curing of the oltizyae of Hellopoiis and Karnak in baths of na+teen, cinnamon, cloves and popper. We are content, however, to paint Out the fact that epic° and periumee have always divided honors with gold and jewels. Leaving be the fanciful Spaniard the aoarch for the Western El Dorado, the more practical Dutchmen devoted himself to the accumulation of the riches to bo gathered from the clove, cinnamon and nub. meg trees—mines whose treasures aro re- newed from season to seamen. THE DUTOH AND THE NUTMEG. The bhr;feerMINA speedily discovered the enermoue wine of the nutmeg. They found 1. It growing pieabifully oa all of the Moluc- oan Archipelago ; brit as they had espeatatly esec bltehed taeir power ever the Banda Group, and as nub had become in. steady a meet valuable commodity, they resolved to secure the monopoly of so profitable an article. Yeur Datehmau' does net think gaiokky ; but once he bee made up his mina, he to not to be diverted' from his aim. The Datoh merchant ef the eixbaenth and seventeenth cenbaries was a seedier and railer, as well es a trader. In order to keep the nutmeg supply in hie own hands, he headed armed expeditiens to all the adjacent Wanda, and, after con - Treeing them, made a oendiblon of his treaty of peace that all nutmeg trees should be destroyed, and no mere grown. Jan Van Evertsen, a Dnteh writer of the nevenbeenth century, raoards that en one of these forays the v!oborieue leader compelled the leaders, firet, to chop down all their nutmeg trees, and next to pile upon the fallen trunks all of the sats is the peseeasion of the people. " There were several pike," nye Evertcen, " ae large as goad -sized hams, and they used ladders for to ou,rry the baskets to be empt!e1 edep. They were veritable small manutatos ; and I have seen many a church in Holland of lees aize than those aooumnla• teens of nuts, which were burned bo aehee with a most ederea. smell." THE NUTMEG PIGEON. Bub Deboh arms and Daloh greed could ISO s oppose bee will of nature. In the Mo- luoean Archipelago there is a bird which feeds upon the fresh mace, or second en- voiepe of the nutmeg. Ib is called the " nutmeg pigeon." In order to secure the mace, which olinge firmly to the nut, this bird carries away both envelope and nut to its nese, which, an' it is a creature of long flight, may be upon an adjacent island, or even upon the distant mainland. Having ;tripped off the mane the bird drops the nut, with its fructifying germ, upon the rich veil, where it immediately sprouts, bakes root, and, in the course of time, be - cornea a fruitful free. Ab the prevent time, though the Benda Group stili produces a large propertlon of the world's supply, many thoneand pounds are annually ex. ported from the East Indies at large, and from Hindestan. The United Seabee alone bas need as many as half a millien panda in a single year. THE NUTMEG TREE. One of the leading violin and 'cello makers in tho country is William A. Conant, of Brattleboro', Vb., who has been engaged in that buelnese for mere than half a century. Mr, Conant le 89 years old, and promises Well to attain tete ago of 92 years, rmeohed by SbradLvariue.

On Ohrietmae Eve in Paris it is a tlme- honored custom to celebrate high mase at midnight in many of the large oharohee, the music being parbioularly fine ab the M idoleino, Sb. Euetache, Si. Sulpioe, Sb.

Sb. Snlpioe bas the finest organ in the city, and is the largest of the ohurohee en the loft bank of the Seine. Being centrally located iu the Latin quarter, it is largely attended on Christmas eve by American students. At 11 e'cieok there was not a peat to be had, and half an hour later the aisles ware peaked. Sb. Sulptoe le an immense edifice, 462 feet in length, 183 feet in withal, and 108 feet high. It has two rgaare towers, one ab either end of the facade, nob unlike those of Notre Dame. The interior is im- preaeive, not only because of its size, but for the eimplloiby of arrangement and hand. some columns. Ab the seer end of the nave la the great organ, while at the other end is a timelier and ecce powerful one. Promptly at 12 e'oleak the grand organ pealed forth -in a tremendous buret of melody, in Imitation of bell ringing. The musical effeot was marvel:oue. One could really imaging the amend of joyous clang- ing ef belle and the shepherds singing in recognition of the birth of Christ. Ab heat, only too soon, bhp beautiful voluntary died away in eiagering aweetneee. Then there rose a mighty °horns from the brained choir, accompanied by the ameller organ and a full orchestra, iuolnding harp and belle. Teem was some supero sole pinging, with harp and fluteacoempaniment. Then the mighty organ joined in the melodious din, and ria stormy mueio rever- berated from the vaulted atone roof in a way that thrilled the liabeners through and through. The otnah of people was remarkable, con- sidering the gee of the chart/. A party of Frenohmen attempted to crena the sefb tran- sept by a main aisle. With the greatest cliffi.oulby the Ieader anoceeded in working his way through the standing crewd, but his followers had even a harder time. At last, by stern determination and brute force, he was jellied by all but one. A white+ haired, harmless old gentleman was nearly mulled by their efforts, being teemed about like a sofa pillow. Eventually, however, even hie subdued spirit was aroused, and he flatly refused to allow the last one to continue the abuse, frankly expressing his opinion of those gone before. Thereepen the bleekaded Frenchman harangued the crowd and waved his acme aleft in a ludi- crous manner, afgaallieg his more fortunate friends. Finally, a uniformed gassd Dame to the aid of the belated and excited man, aeeleling him in his triumphal match to the front, at the expense of the surrounding "Les Miserables." The French popple are certainly very trying in a crowd; they nab only push—they shave. Bat the finest mass of all is that given en St. Cecelia's day, the patron saint of music, at the Ch.uroh of St. Easbaohe. The idea was originated in 1847 by Baron Taylor, who founded the association of muter musi- cians, the proceeds of the mase being used for the benefit of the needy membere of the sedate% The Iamb annual mase of St. Cecelia was held on Nov. 22nd, 1893, with mnaie by Suoh meabere as Gowned and Si.

Music of this sort is essentially of the old world. While America is not lacking in leve of the beeubifnl or in artistic progress, ib hes not the massive cathedrals, which have been centuries build- ing, in which a like effect in musical are might be obtained. The nutmeg -tree somewhat resembles our hardy pear, and seldom reaches more than tbirby-five or forty feet in height. The flowers are pale yellow, and are very similar in size and shape be linea of the valley. The leaven are large, avenging six inches in length, dark grace, polialted on the upper enrfsce, and graylah beneath. Aa leaves, flowers and fruit are all richly odorous, the atmosphere in the netghborhosd of a nut- meg grove is cenabanely laden with a de- lightful and characteristic perfume. So peristent and penetrating is this perfume bhab it is readily perceived on ships passing twenty miles off the orange The fruit is reined, and about as large as a moderately-sized apple ; or, to be more exact, nearly three inches in diameter. The outer portion is a thick, fleshy rind, very similar to bhab whish surrounds the hickerynub. Imide of this is the husk, a sort of rough, thready substance, of a brilliant scarlet when firet opened, but soon changing to a yellowish brown as it dries en exposure to the air. This husk is the mace of commerce. When this is stripped off, there is left a hard, thin, dark brown shell, covering the seed, or nut- meg proper. The enter rind *lite into two nearly equal pares when the nub is ripe and is thrown away as valueless ; bub in some parte of the Meluooae the rind is -peeled off in Its green and juloy °tate and made into a species of eweabmoat with honey or auger. The writer has been permitted bo baste this preparation, and—well, she oheerfnlly donates her share to the deserving poor. Though the flower and fruit are upon the tree begebher at all seamen, the nub is har- vested in July, November and April ; in the lash -named month both mace and nut ire in their ubmeeb perfeotion. A healthy tree will produce, ab a single harvest, about six pounds of nuts and two pounds of mace, tilhe fruit is commonly gathered by band, by means ef small wicker baskets at the end of long bamboo pales ; the outer rind la re- moved, and the Theca carefully separated with a knife. The mace is dried in the men, er, in the rainy amen by artificial heat ; it is flattened between the hands, making. what the housewives know as "blades of mace." After it has assumed the proper bronze, or oobre-yellow color, it le dipped in salt water to preserve it, dried again and finally packed In Wee and bags for export. The nuts bhemeelvee are placed upon email wire nate, or grates, over a mild fire, eufitoienb to dry, without meeting, ahem. This is a process requiring caro and patience, taking about fifty or sixty days to complete. When the nub rattling in the thin, inner shell the operation is Rappelled to be complete. The shell le then knocked ell with a wooden mall or malleo.
