The room into which he stepped was in

candlesticks on the high mantel -shelf. He

Good Advice to a Genius.
The following letter from n country father
concerning his son, to the editor of the New
York Herald has stirred up that knight of
the quill to utter emit: plain, and telling
truths on "Genius and Work." The father
writes:
This boy of mine is very deeidedly a gen,
ius and. will make a great mark in the world.
The village in which we live furnishes no
proper field for such a brain CA his, and his
mother and. I have been thinking of sending
him to New York. Whet would you ad.
vise ?
The editor starts out by 'commiserating
the parents on the great affliction that has
befallen the family in having it genius born
into it, and warns the parentsnot tosend their
sonto NewYork where the supply of geniuses
far exceeds the demand and where without
exception their trousers bag at the knees
and terminate in apathetic fringe that hangs
around their shoes. He advises the unfor-
tunate father to give his son a cord of
tough old hickory, a sawhorse and a saw,
and nail up this legend from Pandarus on
the woodshed,_ "He that will have a cake
out of the wheat must needs tarry the grind-
ing," which being, translated means "No
work, no dinner ? ' If he still insisted, on
doing nothing it might be well to resort to
the device of the Mikado and boil the lad in
oil. Then, after emphasizing theiutimateand
vital relation between hard work and suc-
cess, the article concludes : "Skyscraping

brains don't have
much influence n a com-
munity coustituted as this is. We haven't
any use for men who go tobogganing on
rainbows. It is better to dig potatoes than
to write poor poetry ; nobler to scratch

part your hair in the raiddle and pose as an
angel, in diguise. Hammer at that-Imy until

Henceforth rm tobtattle withbanner unfurled,
And carve my way through a thundering hard

These things accomplished, he will come to
something; but otherwise he never will."
These sentiments as to the importance and
dignity of work cermet be repeated' too
often, or at least; not until those who are
responsible for the moulding of pnblic
opinion shall find that further reference to
the subjeet is superfluous, that all men, rich
and poor, are inbued with the idea that to
work is honorable and dignified, and that
to be an idler in a world where there is so
much to be done is no less disgraceful than
to be a thief. -

Old Age intim Forest.
Take the linden trees, for instance, says
it writer speaking of long-lived trees. One
of these is still atanding at the village of
Villars.en-Moing, near the town of Morat,
This was it noted tree at the time of the
battle between the Swiss and Charles the
Bold, in 1478, and tbe measurements made
by experts show that it was even, then 500
yeere old. Another linden tree at Noustadt,
in Wurtermberg, can be proved by extant
documents to bave bon considered note-
worthy in A. D. 1226, but botanists are
able to prove that its age exceeds eight cen-
turies. That e is it Chestnut tree at Tam-
worth, in England, which was known as it
landmark when King Stephen ascended the
throne, in 1135. It is 52 feet in circumfer-
ence, five feet from the ground, and it must,
so it le computed, long since have celebrat-
ed its thousandth anniversary. There is a
still older oak uear Saintes, in France, for
this has a girth near the ground of nearly
04 feet. From the center of this tree to the
cireumference have been counted some 2,000
concentric lemma' rings, which makes it
about 2,000 years old. -This is perhaps, the
patriarch of the forest of all Europe. There
is, however, a cypress at Sonima, itt Lom-

in the presence of five thousand spectators.
A. female trainer was performing in the den
containing a lioness, it tiger, and a large Si-

hound and pinned him. down. The trainer
tackled the tiger, but the b.oness attacked
her. The male tleuer sprang into the den
at a critical moment, seized the tiger by the
throat, and enabled the fetnale trainer,
whose nerve hail forsaken her, to escape.

A Bank on Wheels.
New Zealand has set an example which
might advantageously be followed in certain
parts of this country. In the same way as
we have "cathedral cars" it has "traveling
banks." A clerk, representing the bank,
travels up and down a railway line for the
transaction of the ordinary business of the
bank with those who have not sufficient fa-
cilities for coming into the city. Laden with
a satchel containing lus supply of cash, and
provided with a teller's usual precautions
against robbery, the clerk makes the carriage
his hetulquarters, and their receives visits
from custamers at the way stations chang-
ing checks ee taking deposits as occasion,
may require. The plan is said to prove pro-
fitable to the bank and a great convenience
to the settlers. It is not difficult, however,
to see that the Newtealanders are not pro-
perly educated in the matter of train rob-
bery.
Business.
Ca,n you lend me a five, Jack?"
" I can ; here it is."
"I can never repay your kindness."
a Never mind ; repay the five and let the
kindness go."
