winds ap with this challenge:
"To settle the matter we will lay
down this proposition to the 'senior

college select an impartial committee,
let them come to St Matthews
and we will prove to their
satisfaction that what has been
published can be substantiated by
students, 'rats' and graduates. If
not we will defray all expenses of 1
said committee and acknowledge
through the pre63 of tne State that
we publish 'malicious statements.'

A clothier's ad. and by it was led
To spend for clothing the selfsame

That he got from the dry gocds merchant's

And paid with the bill that he had got
When the grocer with him had settlement

With the money the honest workman

otin ; name-..
White pine is a tree of so distinguished
flppenranee that it. is entitled
To one name anion*: liunbermen
as wel! as among botanists.
But it does not have it.
In both Massachusetts and South
Carolina it is sometimes known as
Weymouth pine, which is its uni- j
vcrsal name in Europe. Pennsvlva- ;
nians occasionally speak of it as J
soft pine, Tennesseeans as spruce,
and in other parts of the south it is I
nolloit nnrtliprn ninp
The loblolly pine is a southern J
tree, and the people of the south
have been liberal with names, sometimes
applying several in a restricted
locality. In North Carolina it is
loblolly oldfieid, torch, rosemary,
slash, shortleaf, sap, Indian, yellow,
swamp and longs traw, each being
followed by the word "pine." In
Maryland it is longsbucks, in Delaware
longschat, in Virginia cornstalk,
foxtail; spruce, swamp and
others. It is called meadow pine in
Florida.
From New England to the Carolinas
the tulip poplar i9 frequently
called whitewood or tulip tree. Yellow
poplar is its usual name in
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Kentucky and on the market in the
form of lumber. It is tulip poplar
in Illinois, poplar in Ohio,
white poplar in Indiana, blue poplar
in Delaware, hickory poplar in
Virginia, popple in Rhode Island,
cucumber tree in New York and
canoe wood in Tennessee.
The birches are equally rich in
nomno artel snrrif* nf the names
cling after the lumber reaches market.
"Cherrv" and "mahogany"
furniture may be made from what
in Maine is known as sweet birch, j
but which changes its name at the
crossing of almost every state line
as the tree's habitat is traced south- 1
ward.
Scarcely half a dozen of the almost
r>00 species of forest trees i
found in the United States are pop- ,
ularly known by their botanical
names. A few, however, arc so j
known, among them being catalpa 1
and sassafras. Hut even these suf- i
for through mispronunciation by
those who try to speak them.?Forestry
and Irrigation.
Preferred the Pavement to Luxury.
Thackeray's crossing sweeper
who kept his carriage was not entirely
a creation of his imagina- ;
lion. "I knew a man," says Dagonet
in the London Referee, "who !
took his stand daily outside a pub- .
lie house, fetched cabs and did odd
jobs, llis relations were very well
off indeed, and a year or two ago
they persuaded him to go to live;
with them. After leading a life of
luxury for a couple of months lie
reappeared one day outside the puh! /?
Iiaiicc I LnnttiniT his rircum
stances, asked him why he had left i
comfort for the cold pavement. 'I i
had to/ lie said. .1 stood it as long
as I could, but when they wanted
me to dress for dinner every time
they had company I chucked it/ "
And That Ended It.
Two officers once appeared before
one of the crowned heads of Europe
to ask permission to fight a duel, as
one had grievously insulted the
other.
"Certainly, my friends," 6aid the !
king. "I will he present myself at
the encounter/'
On the day appointed the king
appeared on the scene accompanied
by a sinister looking person, who
proved to he the public executioner.
Pointing to the two combatants, the
king said:
"You see those two men? Imme-diately
after their duel you will hehead
the survivor."
i
Economy!
Maidie, nearly four, brought to
her mother two little branches
which she had broken from a bush
and stripped of their leaves.
"Here, mother," she said?"here
are some switches to switch the
boys when they are naughty."
"But," objected mother, "you do
not want your dear little brothers
to be switched, do you?"
"Well, when they're naughty,"
Maidie emphasized. "They're such
nice little switches"?lovingly?"it
would be a pity to waste them."?

It is Whitsun Tuesday at S in the
morning, a late day in spring. The 1
town is gav with wreaths, flags and '
streamers, the windows aflame with t
flowers. Twenty thousand people i J
fill the streets and stretch in a dou- j
hie row across the bridge. A sense j
of serious waiting fills the air.
The procession starts, with its 1
banners, tapers and 300 singers and ]
its clergy. All chant the litany of
St. Willibrod. t
Suddenly an electric tremor i
thrills along the whole cortege of

ine take up the tone, and 40,000 c
feet, not all light, but all fantastic, \
are vibrant in the dance. ^
It is a sort of sobered polka,
three steps forward and two back. ~
Youth and the old mam rejoice together,
the sick and tne hale, the
bent dotard side by side with the t
saucy schoolboy. They dance for j
health, for the state of their par- f
ents and friends and for the ills of
their beasts. *
Some very old and infirm dance '
by deputy, and many an urchin t
dances lustily for several invalids. x
Here a young mother dances with g
her young child in her arms; here .
an old man, whistling like a saw, 1
forces to the measure his rheumatic
bones. The pageant takes five c
hours to travel three-quarters of a j
mile. j
When all is done the tired thiong .
goes home.
Home of the Navel Orange. i ^
"Bahia, Brazil, the home of the
I
navel orange, from which place the j
lot* William (r. Saurtders imported !1
the first navel orange tree to the ; i
United States, raises large quanti- ' j
ties of this luscious fruit, but does
pot export a single orange/' said a !
man formerly in the diplomatic 1
service in Brazil. "Nearly every j t
family has an orange and a banana i
tree in the back yard, and some
have a number of frees. These are i merely
for home consumption.
"Mr. Saunders, when he began \
the reproduction and distribution ;
of the navel orange tree, the original
of which, 1 believe, is still in |
the groards of the department of: j
agriculture. thought lie could reproduce
the same quality of orange,*
but 1 do not think he sneceedcd, although
the* American navel orange ,
is a tine fruit. It would be inrpossi- J'j
bie to produce in Babia any great
quantity of oranges for export be-!'
cause there are no facilities for!?
keopiugtlio fruit after it is picked." ! ]

The "Mason and Dixon's line," j J
the name given to the boundary line : t
between Pennsylvania and Ma:ry- J t
land, was run, with the exception *
of some twenty-two miles, by j j
Charles Mason ami Jeremiah Dix- i
on, two English mathematicians !
and surveyors, between November,
1763, and December, 17G7. During |
the excited debate in congress in j
3820 on the exclusion of slavery!
from Missouri John Randolph!
made great use of the phrase, wh:.ch j
was caught up by all the newspa-!
pers of the country and thus gain- '
ed the celebrity it still holds.

The Persians.
Every traveler from Morier on- ^
ward has descanted on the physical
cowardice of the Persians. Rut
there are mysteries about the valor
of Asiatics which no European historian
has yet set himself to 6olve. ^
It was currently said in the early
eighties among Englishmen that the
Egyptians were cowards, yet under
Mehemet Ali they defeated Turkish
armies and Wahabi fanatics and
would have overthrown the Turk- q
ish empire if Europe had not inter- a
veiled. There are similar passages *
in Persian history.?London Nation, t
