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 ywwiWaUng one stem with a knife, ■ laaerted the end of a branch into tho ‘.Moio nod loft it thoro to grow TA* ■.peculiar formation led the jparty Into talking of other poculiari tw» which they had observed, says the Utiladelphia Times, One of tho brio said: ••When 1 was a boy 1 went -with (several other boys into the -woods that stood back from tho vil %- ■**£« of Plymouth to gather wild - Sower*. We tramped through tho -woods until the underbrush became -wo thick that wo had to crawl in •places on our hands and knees. One '-♦f tho boys, a venturesome littlo fol ■ tow, who was as full of fun as an egg , A* .of .meat, was on the lead, and. all * Wk VMM cried out: •t-'ay, fellers. emu here and see what I've found.’ Wo harried forward and saw him Mending over tho skull of an ox •which - lay on tho ground face up ward. From each of the oyo-sockota thv* was growing a small chestnut three, while from vvheio the oars were -oats attached a beautiful vine shot .forth, Intertwining the horns and -.w-auing gracemny anout tno skull. **.\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 § to a clearance wo drew lots to see '( vvrho should own the find. The lot tltaU to me and the other boys helped use to carry it home, where my lather Iptanftefl lit in the garden. The vine dud, but the chestnut trees grew to * fle largo trees. The skull long ago uernwWed to dust and formed a for *lfj>er for the trees, which to-day J- Hafir like one. Growing so close to jrthnr * hoy grew into each other.

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. Where Onr White rise Crones From.

Wash, Da;. "J don't know of any one thing that impresses me- more with tho idcar. of tile brotherhood of man,11 said, a humorous writer recently, “than the- universality of the observ aacoof Monday as wash-day. "No mutter where a man may live, oo; that day ho- sees the washing wav ing; if in the city, in his own back yard or from pulley lines from back windows or on roofs; if in the sub urbs, and his work be in tho city, in many yards as the train Hashes by. “tV e may differ on questions of church or state, but we all agreo oq Monday as wash-day.” A Fair Exchange In no Itobbcry. “Have you any (Jretna greens?” inquired the facetious customer with the basket on his arm. “No, sir,” answered, the grocer. “Nearest I can come to ’em is parloi matches.
