•*"« Who -Went About With Two Or

A party of pedestrians while tramp
' ®*jp along tho Wiasahiuken had thoii
WhntlM drawn to a singularly
tree growing along tho creek
♦hie of tho drive. Tho tree when a
■apliaj bad evidently been tixod by
■Wat aaodler with nature, who, aftei

tw» which they had observed, says
the Utiladelphia Times, One of tho
brio said: ••When 1 was a boy 1 went

Wo harried forward and saw him
Mending over tho skull of an ox
•which - lay on tho ground face up

thv* was growing a small chestnut

**.\Vo looked about for a piece of
'bark or some other object upon
which we could transport the odd
flower-pot to one of our homes. Wo
succeeded in getting it out of the
.thicket, after carefully placing it
- "wtptm a piece of bark. When we got

•m nut's ronlly n curiosity,” re
raarkod one of his companions, “but
It don’t corao up to what took place
when I was a boy In Haddington.
A neighbor of ours had a pet crow
that was up to all sorts of mischief.
My mother got mo to gather hor a lot
of ucorns ono full to mako fancy work
for an approaching fair. One day
whilo slio was sticking tho acorns on
tho outside of a box, tho crow hopped
over into tho yard and up on tho
porch and watchod hor work.
••As soon as sho turned hor back,
■lira, as wo used to call him, jumped
up on tho table, picked up an acorn
and made off like a thief. Mother
throw a small stick at him. and it
struck him ou tha head. The poor
bird tumbled over and wo thought it
was doad, but it came too in a little
whilo and hopped away. It was
novor soon again till tho next sum
mer, whon tho neighbor tore down
an old frame building, under
which tho decomposed carcass of the
crow was found. Upon examining
it a small oak tree was found grow
ing from between its upper and lower
bills. I carried tho carcass homo on
a shovel and planted it carefully in
tho gurden. where it grow rapidly.
. "I saw tho tree last month and it
is as pretty an oak as can bo scon
anywhere. Up whore the branches
shoot out there is a peculiar lump,
which whon viowed from a cortain
direction is an exact resemblance of
a crow’s head. Tho limbs look for
all the world as though tho glgantio
bird was holding its mouth wide
open.
••Did I ever tell you about our
orango tree?” astted another of the
oompany.
“Well, I think it is the greatest
vegetable wonder I ever heard of.
Father, whilo eating an orange one
Christmas, took sevoral of the seeds
and placed them in a sore that was
on our old dog’s back. A horso doc
tor told him the seeds would cause
an irritation which would make the
sore heal up. Well, sir, two of the
seeds took root and grew and that
dog moved about for more than two
years with the twin treos growing
out of his back.
“Tno sore healed up, but poor old
Ponto got horned by a steer one day
and was so badly injured that ho
died. Father cut a chunk out of his
| back and transplanted the trees in a
j box. They grew splendidly, and
I while they never bore any fruit they
I had plenty of bark.”_
Knglish ignorance of America did
not begin with this generation.
Goldsmith's description of Niagara
falls includes the statement that
“some Indians in their canoes, as it
is said, have ventured down it in
safety.”
SECURITIES MADE SECURE.
Why Wall Street by Night Often I.lttle
Temptation to Burglars.
••Come, hurry up, I want to got
sway!”
The speaker was the junior memher
of a big firm of brokers and bankers
on Wall street, and the addressed was
a young man of athlotic figure, who
held a clerkship In the same office.
The latter was leaning against a large
tin box, such as is used for the safe
keeping of bonds, stocks and other
valuable securities. Ho had been
talking with a follow clerk, but im
mediately after the above remark he
abruptly broke off the conversation
and turned to examine the lock of the
box. Having satisfied himself that
; it was all right he nodded to two
other clerks who were waiting near
by. These picked up the box and
started for the door, preceded by the
junior partner and followed by the
other clerk. In this order they pro
ceeded up Wall street to broad, and
thonco to the stock exchange.
In the basement of the latter are a
j number < f vaults and several watch
men are in charge by night us well as
| by day. The broker drew an odd
looking steel instrument out of his
pocket, which proved to be a key for
a combination lock. With this ho
opened one of the vaults and waited
until tho tin box had been deposited
insido. Then he carefully locked the
vault again, tested tho doors to see
; that they wero secure, and wont out
, with his clerks.
| About 4 o’clock every afternoon the
scene described above Is repeated
many times in Wall street. The
other afternoon a number of young
women who wore visiting tho street
with an escort, passed by tho office of
a broker who does an enormous bus
iness and is worth many millions in
his own right.
“Oh girls,” said one, pointing at
the big safe visible from the street,
“wouldn't we have a tine time if we
could get into that?”
All her companions stopped to look
at tho safe and to indulge in surmises
as to the value of its contents.
..nt to know just what
there is in that safe?”asked Ihbires
cort. with an amused slnjlo.y?* if
“Yes, tell us.”
“Well, there are some did" .Japejjj
not worth a dollar, a few jjsjU^s'
worth of postage stamps, and ktss
than §10 in change.”
“Why, where are all tho stocks and
bonds, and the thousand dollar bills
we read about?” asked the girls in
chorus.
“They are safely locked up in the
stock exchange vaults.” he replied.
It is a fact that there is hardly a
single broker who keeos any valu
allies iii his oilico over night, says
the New York Sun. Just before
closing time every day the brokers
who are members of the ‘took ex
change park their securities and cash
in a strong box and take them to the
vaults in the basement of the ex
change. Each member has a vault
of his own there. It is interesting to
watch some of them when they lock
the vaults. The men with big'boxes.
filled to overflowing with valuable
securities are usually very calm ana
nonchalant, but the men with limited
possessions usually spend about five
minutes in making sure that the
vaults have been securely locked.
The roason the brokers take all this
trouble is because these vaults are al
ways guarded. The brokers who are
not members of the exchange take
their securities to the vaults of safe
deposit companies. Private bunkers,
who do not keep watchmen, also tako
their valuables to guarded vaults.
After business hours Wall street is
i about the least. profitable place for
i burglars in the city.
! TEMPTS THE THUNDERBOLTS.
I Danger or the • Washington Alounment
and Its Good I.uek.
| It is for electrical engineers to say
| whether there is not clanger of a
I catastrophe in the great monument
of granite and marble which the peo
j pie of America have erected to the
honored memory of George Wash
ington. The monster obelisk, capped
by its aluminum tip, is supported on
the inside by eight immense iron
columns running from top to bottom.
That represents tons of metal piled
heavenward to the height of 5o5 feet,
as if to tempt the thunderbolts. To
be sure, there are- lightning rods on
the outside, but they are pigmy bits
of wire compared to the mass of iron
within. One of the attendants told
me the other day that there never
i passes a severe thunderstorm with
out some electrical disturbance in the
monument. Usually it has no more
serious effect than to make the wires
| and electric signals in the shaft act
j bettor for somo days following. ISov
; eral times, however, he says, ho has
j secD the iron columns wreathed with
iiery snakes with such a crackling
and hissing of bluo-fo.'ked flamo as
■blight well frighten a man with sim
' pie tastes. On one occasion the at
tendant assured me that he saw the
electric bolt leap from an electric
column and disappear down the well
bole at tho base of the shaft. Two
stops farther and he would have been
directly in its path.
Now, the question is, and it would
seem worthy of serious consideration,
whether according to the laws of
probabilities, such an accident will
take place one day or another
wiieni the elevator, with its human
load, is on the way up or down, says
the Illustrated American. The car
holds thirty people and makes a com
plete trip every thirty minutes dur
ing six or seven hours of each day
of the week except .Sundays. The
car passes so near the iron columns
that one can touch them easily with
the hand. Imagine an e’.octrite- storm
and a bolt shooLing into the elevator
car. The probable results- are not
pleasant to contemplate, and the
only thing which reassures one is the
proverbial good luck which has at
tended the monument ever since- its
corner-stone was laid forty-five years
ago. Not a single human life- was
lost in its construction. There were
no accidents, and have been none
during the eight years it has been
open to the public. No suieido has
been committed within its precincts,
no crazy jumper has tried to- throw
himself from its height.
