The tree is about 18 feet long, and tho trunk ?B abont 8 inches in diameter. It bas been com pletely turned to iron, and is com posed mostly of brown hematite, an iron ore.

Us Pleasure to Publish the fol lowing Announcement, All women suffering from any form of illness peculiar to their sex are re quested to communicate promptly with Mrs. Pinkham, nt Lynn, Mass. All letters are re ceived, opencV read and an ?uf? swered by worn? only. x_~V A woman ca freely talk t her privat? illness to r woman : thus has been estab lished the eternal confi dence be tween Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America. This con fidence has in duced more than 100,000 women to write Mrs. Pinkham for advice during the last few months. Think what a volume o? experience she has to draw from ! No physician living ever treated so many cases of female ills, and from this vast experi ence surely it is more than'possible she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case. She is glad to have you write or call upon her. You will find her a woman full of sympathy, with a great desire to assist those who are sick. If her medi cine is not what you need, she will frankly tell you so, and there are nine chances out of ten that she will tell you exactly what to do for relief. Sho asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely, any ailing woman, rich or .^poor, is very foolish if she does not take-advantage of this generous offer of assistance.

Be sides you are twenty-seven and a med ical student, two things I nover could tolerate in tho man I honor with my heart and hand." And lovely little Lottie Bexdal laughed a very wicked little laugh as she pushed the end of her red silk parasol into tho soft soil under an old applo tree, at the same time glancing saucily up at her com panion, a scholarly young man, "Why do you ask me?" sae re sumed. "Because I wanted to be made fun of, to be ridiculed by the little girl 1 love," replied Vane" Winton, smiling sadly s? the pert young lady perched on tho back of a rusti? garden seat, her brown frizzes falling roguithly in to her dancing brown eyes. "Now, that doesn't sound n bit like our own grave Vane, who studies med icine and cultivates ari ice croam com plexion. " "Anice cream complexion?" asked Vane Winton, a little mysti?ed." "Yes; that'd Lottie Bexdal'n term for students' complexions. You book worms study away until yoar faoes take on the hue of that sweet com pound," answered the roguish girl. "If you would only be grave for a whilo I might talk to you," said Vane. "Yes; yon know Pm such a rogue that I should put yoi to the blush a thousund timen a day," chimed in Lottie. "I am willing to run the risk." "Ah! but I shall not agree to any Buoh facri?ce. Marry some steady, sensible girl. Alio May Will be here in one hour. Be polite, and captivate her? Miss May is so highly cultured and grave that she will surely not bo less than sublimo in your eyes. 1'il tell you-" But Vane did not stay to hear more. He walked off, leaving gay Lottie Bex dal laughing merrily. Lottie was the ward of Vane Win ton's kind father. Sho had been or phaned at a very early age. A m liden aunt had then adopted ber. When Lottie was but ien, and her education not half completed, her kind relative died. Bnt before that she had Sent for Mr. Winton, her girlhood's lover, and made him promise to receive the little orphan girl. The kind man con sented; and so Lottie became an in mate of Vane Winton's home. Vane was the only child of woalthy parents, and at the tinva iv lieu Lottie came to his father's house he was away on the Continent. When he returned three years after wards ho fouud his "ward sister," os ho had called her in his letters, away at some school for girls. So it hap pened that Vane and Lottie had never met uutil six months before. Vano waa a fine scholar, but he had never studied any profession. Now, at thc age of twenty-seven, realizing perhaps that "it is never too lata to mend," he was fitting himsolf for the medical fro feaston. Vane was trying to study at his homo that summer. Sometimes he found it impossible to do so amid the tempest aroused by mischievous Lot tie Bexdal. She threw open the un used piano, and made lae house ring with her olear, bell-like notes. She filled the library with Howers, tossed up Vane's books, and even scribbled on them. She rode every horse on the place, romped with Prince, the great shaggy dog, tore her dresses, went bare headed, and turned the wide hall Into a skating rink. She wai utterly spoiled by both Mr. and Mrs. Winton. At first Vane had been shocked, But the moro he studied her original character, the moro he become reconciled to it. Tol erance gave placo to admiration, and that, in duo time, to love. Ho had alwoys felt avague longing to discover a woman in whoEO charactor he boped to find originality and freedom iroin affectation. If ho could only toach Lottie to love him, what a splendid woman she might become I He would wait patiently und hope fully, ho reasoned, as he walked away. Taking a volume from his pocket, ho sat down ou a bonch under an elm, and began to peruse it. Soon a merry laugh caused him to look up, and he saw Lottie riding down the lane on her milk-whito Floss, Very bright and piquant she looked iu her riding habit as sho drew rein beside Him. "Sir Owl, I'm on my way to meet Miss Alice now ; and whilo I'm gono I shall expect you to comb your hair, part it in the middle, put on a clean collar, pin a flower in your buttonhole, and net very rosthetio and dukc-like." And with a merry laugh she rode away. . For weeks after Alice May's arrival tho house was lilied with company. Vane devoted himself almost entirely to her, leaving Lottie io amuse herself. At the frequent picnics Alico shone as the chief star of tho ooca?ion. She might be gone all day, but returned with her elegant costumes as perfect as when she started,whilo Lottie would lose her parasol and fan, and tear great holes in her drqsses, and came home with her face ar.d-hands cs black as a gyp^y'c. When Vane and Alice went riding, Lottie would show off Floss and jump hedges, thus provoking earnest re monstrance from Vane. Then the brown-eyed witch rode faster than ever, sending baok gay pearls of laugh ter to the dignified couple whom sho left to bring np the rear. Of late Vane thought ho detected n certain rcokleeeness in Lottie'o freaks. When going up tho mountain, where it was so steep that he dismounted to lead Alice's horse, sho galloped on, putting whip to Floss, who rushed up tho rocky ascent, tearing up pebble and turf, over wide chasms, and along narrow ledges, where a ?in gie misstep would have hurled pony and girl down to instant destruction. Vane trembled; but to hido his fears, he gave Alice his Tull attention. Ouo day he went into the library, and found Lottie seated on the wiu Y PAID. dow sill. Sba was unusually quiet. She hail been watching Alice, who, with book in bami, waa promenading on the lawn below, under tho shady trees. '*3he is very beautiful/1 said Vano, iooking towards the graceful figure. .'I wonder if she would marry me?" "VaneWinton, haven't you asked her yet?" "Not yot. Perhaps I shall to-day. Do you Ih.nkI had better do BO?" "Most certainly." And she ran off, einging merrily. In a short time eho was tearing down tin load on Floss at breakneck speed. After shu had gone, Vane went ont to Alice. "What ails Lottie?" tho lady in quired. "Lottie? I do not rVerstand." "As she passed me just a few mo ments ago to mount her pony, I spoke to her, ?Let me go, Alice May!' Bho snapped, and 1 notioed tears in her eyos. And then she rode off so reck lessly that I am fearful she will put Floss in a bad temper." Alice spoke lightly, but Vane's faoo paled as ho walked back to the bouse, and waited anxiously for Lottie's re turn. Presently he caught fight of Floss being led slowly by a otrn?go man. Then' followed a carriage with two men, one of whom held a girlish fig ure in his arms. "It took place down on the river road," explained ono of the men to Vane. "The girl was riding like tho wind when all at once tho pony made a plunge, and the girl landed among the rooks? " Mr. and Air?? Winton cam? hurry ing ont, and thc greatest excitement prevailed; They took Lottie into tho house, wher? it Was aricertaitted that ono arm waa broken, and several ugly cuts and bruises had been received. When Lottie Opened her eyes, Vane was at her side. "flo away !" she cried. "Never, darling, for I love you 1" "How can you lovo mo and marry Alice?" sho pouted. "I am not going to rflarry Alice; "vVhy, Lottie, catt U be that you aro jealous?" said AliOe, -taking her hand. "Vano attd I do not Want caoh othor.'* "I was very jealous," confessed Lot tie, "but please don't go away." And he did not. "When yon spoke of mar rying Alice, I did not care what hap pened to me." "But you refused rae." "I know it, bat only to teaso yod." Just as soon as Lottie recovered there was a quiet wedding* and Alice was bridesmaid. ?ffriroo Doctrine In New Light. Judge Thomas N. Wolob, of Caro lina County, Virginia, recalls a new phaso of the Monroe doctrine, the de tails of which ho had from tho lips of James W. Saunders, who nbotit fifty years ago was a loading la.wyo? and pcliticau of Charlottesville, Va. Mr. Saunders said that when he was a young lawyer, Mr. Monroe, who had already been President, lived on his farm in Albemarle ?ounty,about seven miles from Charlottesville. A person in New York Bent Mr. Saunders for collection a bond of $500, due from Mr. Monroe. After consulting with some of his friends ho started to call on tho ex-President ' to present tho claim. Accordingly, he rode to the residence of Mr. Monroe and found bim at home. Ho was received in the most courteoas manner, conducted to the parlor, and a mint julep was brought in. Mr. Monroe's conversation was br;ght and instructive. Presently Mr. Saunders was invited to partake of an excellent breakfast, after which he went with Mr. Monroe to his office, where a good cigar wag enjoyed. Finally, he informed Mr. Monroe of tho object of his visit. This he did as politely as possible, adding tho cred itor desired immed ?ate payment. Mr. Monroo listen attentively, then arose suddenly from his chair, went to a desk, took out two duelling pistols, and said: "Here aro two duelling pistols, which I purchased in Franco (his voice trembling with anger), and now, sir, you can take your choice, and down there in that grove we can each settle this matter." The invitation was declined,;and Mr. Saunders left without an invitation from Mr. Monroe to repeat the visit. -New York Herald It is Hot in Queensland.

"Frequently all tho doors and win dows of the wretched tin and wood houses had to be hurriedly closed t' keep out tho hateful sirocco. Th .almost bare downs rolled away into the distance, with pillars of hot dust a thousard feet high, traveling along in tho scorching whirlwinds, nt a few miles distance from each other, like giants stalking through the land, rear ing their dim heads inlo the brass-col ored 6ky.

Colonies Of sudden growth rmi cities of quick development have not been infrequent in tho mining regions of the West, but Fitzgerald stands in many respects quite without a parallel, and tho movement which has led to its founding points to a possible indus trial revolution i h tho ?South, and calls for a new understanding rind partner ship between the South, North and West? The Fitzgerald colony is like wise signia?ant from the fact that as th? colonists aro mostly veterans of tho Federal array* $30*000 per month Of pension money Will* it is reckoned, be put into circulation through the South instead of through the North dtid West as fof me?lyi The colony ?nd ?ity bf .Fitzgerald were founded by M"*; P.

Wenas* bf Michigan* visited Georgia for the pur pose of examining lands offered them through William Ji Northed* twice Gdvernbr df G?orgid, at the low rate of S3.50 au acre. Although Texas was holding out tho inducement of land at only sixty cents an acre, Mr. Fitz gerald and his committeo decided to locato lipon th? Geof'gia tract without further delay. By tho middle of October tho business arrangements had been completed, and the survey of the land was well under way. By November 1 it was completed, and tho assignment pf city lots, business sites and farming tracts followed with a rash. The city of Fitzgerald and the farm ing lauds that compose the colony section are comprised withia 118,000 acres, and are located 117 miles south Of Macon* Gd:, in the midst of the gr??t agricultural arid fruit region. They aro available ipr almost any crop, whether of wheat, corn, oats, rye, rice, millet, cotton, sugar cane, potatoes and general track,while such fruits as peaches, pears, apricots, prunes, figs and apples aro indigenous. As to timber, the colony section com prises vast fields of long leaf pine, As good as eau be found in the country. The average whiter temperature for th? last ten years has beea fifty de grees* und the summer temperature during tho same time has averaged only eighty degrees. Tho city of Fitzgerald is located in Irwin County, and has tho benefit of competitive freight rates,both by land and water, which place it within easy communication with the great markets df the United States. There are now two railroads at Fitzgerald, and others under construction. On October 14 the first human hab itation was begun in Fitzgerald. To day the city presents a vastly different appearance. It is laid out in excel lent style, and hos four business streets, that contain a great variety of shops, which are furnishing the colonists with all necessary supplie.0. The residence portion shows many woll built structures, and hundreds of humble homes will sooner or later be replaced by more comfortable dwell ings* Thero are 6aw mil's, brick yards, four churches, a town hall, four blaoksmith shops, a public sohool und a Masonic lodge. Main street is the principal business thoroughfare of* Fitzgercld. The streets to the west of Main aro called after Confederate Generals-Lee, Jackson, Longstreet, Gordon, Bragg and Hill ; those on the west side after Federal commanders-Grant, Sher man, Sheridan, Thomas and Logan which certainly goes to prove that the colonists ere not cherishing sectional animosities. Another interesting fact is that the colony land includes tho historic spot upon which Jefferson Davis was captured by Wilson's cav alry, ia 18G5. Tho old veterans aro well pleased with tho prospects before them, and their rank and file has been increased by the coming of maoy who oro not Grand Army of the Bepablio men, but who like themselves, are seeking a comfortable home. These persons are, for tho most part, halo and hearty farmers, used to earnest work against far more difficult conditions than will confront them in Georgia. They belong to the sensible indus tiious class that has made tho West tho prosperous, powerful country it is to-day, and are but little accustomed to failure.-New York Herald. Eskimo Wolf Trapping. Field and Stream tells of a curie s way by which Eskimos oatoh wolves. They plant a stake in the ice, with a sharp piece of flint on one end, which is vrrapped with seal or other blubber. Along come the wolves aud go to lick ing the frozen blubber. Alter a while they get down to tho flint and cut t he r tongues on it. Being ravenously hun gry, when they tasto the warm blood thoy fall to and dew the Kfe out of one another. The familiar trick of putting a bent piece of sharpened whalebono into a ball of blubber, which is released by the heat of the animal's stomach and results in the death of tho animal, is | much less effective than the flint stake, canse nearly the whole pack of wolves are killed by the latter device.

Time, 2 p. m. There ore always natives about who' assist in catching add "sadding up" the ponies. Ten or twelve df the youngsters have to travel id the edms direction. Hurrah I now for a hurdle face.- Thoro are two water jumps on thd homeward-bound "course." It is a grand heltef-skolt.f. The podios enter intd the fad. Any youngster Who qrtits his or her sheep skin must catch the pony and scramble np as best ho or she can; The winner is generally a girl who has taught her brothers to ride. These children would feel the restraints of English lifo ter ribly. Tba mothers in the old country lift their hands in horror, and exclaim : "Surely these children will break their necks ?"And what does this heathenish writer mean by "water jumps?" Bless your anxious hearths, the children are not hurt ; they tumble on the turf quite comfortably; and those ponies that don't jump tho brook go through it. As to a wetting, that matters but little with a Griqualand temperature, and perhaps a thunderstorm gives thom wettingN?. 2. But these clever ponies can generally make tho shelter before the storm overtakes them. A Lighthouse" Without n Light, The most extraordinary of all light houses is to be foddl on Amish Bock, Stornoway Bay-a rook which is sepa rated from the Island of Lewis by a channel over 500 feet wide. It is in the Hebrides, Scotland. On this rook a conical beacon is erected and on its summit a lantern is fixed, ff om which, night after night, shines a light which is seen by the fishermen far and wide. Yet there is no burning lamp in the lantern and no attendant ever goes to it, for tho simple reason that there is no lamp to attend to, no wick to train, and no oil well to replenish. The woy in v. hieb this peculiar light house is illuminated is this: "On the Island of Lewis, 500 feet or so away, is a lighthouse, and from a window in the tower a stream of light is projected on a mirror in tho lantern on tho sum mit of Amish Bock. These rays ore reflected to au arrangement ol' prisms, and by their action are converged to a focus outside the lantern, fro m where they diverge in tho necessary direc tion." The consequence is that to a'.l intents and purposes a lighthouse exists which has neither lamp nor lighthouse keeper, and yet which gives as ser viceable a light-taking into account the requirement^ of this locality-as if an elaborate and costly lighthouse, with lamps, service room, bedroom, living room, storeroom, oilroom, watertanks and all other accessories were erected on the summit of thc rock.-Tit-Bits, A New Bell. Many sensitive persons are startled by the abrupt incisive sound given out by the ordinary electric bell. M. Guerre, a Paris electrician, who has been working on the idea that this characteristic of the electrio bell was not irremediable, has produced a bell wuich gives a continuous musical sound. The noto is very soft, and sweet, although penetrating, and is said to be an exaggeration of that ob tained by rubbing the edge of a glass with the finger. Instead of a bell with a hammer and a spring interrupter, a steel bell is used, which is its own in terrupter. When the circuit is closed by the pressure of the button at tho other end of the line, it is released from the electro magnet forcod for ward and released again for a number of times with great rapidity. The vibration set up produces the pleasing humming instead of the familiar Bound so irritating to nervous people. The pitch of the note oan at any timo bc ?banged. For instance, should there bo sickness in a house and it is desired to reduce tho carrying quality of tue note, it can be lowered until it is audi ble only to servants, of others whom it is intended to summon. Extraordinary Growth ol a Sick Girl. Becently a fourteon-yoar-old girl died in New Brighton. It is said that when she became ill ehe measured five feet two inches. She was sick three weeks, and when she died and was laid out for interment she measured Ave feet nine inches, having grown soven inohes in three weeks, lt is said that the change in her appearance was so great that neighbors viewing the remains could, scarcely recognize in them tho features of their little friend of throe weeks before. Doc tors say it is the most remarkable case they have any knowledge of, Philadelphia-Times Wealth of the World. The United States ia the richest na tion in the world, though adding the wealth of Great Britain to that of her colonies, the British Empire would be the richest. The people of Australia have more wealth per capita than those of any other country. Tho British come next. The United States come fifth in par capita of wealth,the French and Dutch, ar well as the Australians and British, being wealthier. The following table gives Professor Malhall's estimate of the wealth of fif teen nation?, with i calculation which shows tho per capita of wealth of each: Per Weallb.

The list, however, is far from com plete. China, India, Japan, Turkey, Mt xico, Brazil and Portugal aro richer in aggegate woalth than some of the nations mentioned, though China, In dia and Turkey are doubtless poorer in per capita of wealth than any.
