"John." said Mr. Croesus, thought
fully, everybody In society seems to
think n awful lot of genealogy these
days."
"Jennie what?" exclaimed John,
looking up from his evening paper.
"Genealogy." repeated Mrs. Croesus.
"What's that"
"I don't know exactly." replied Mrs.
Croesus, "but I think it's a tree of soma
kind. At least I heard some ladles te
fer to it as a family tree."
"Well, what of Itr be asked.
"Why. It seems to be a sort of fad,
you know, and everyone who la any
one has to have one."
"Buy one then," he said irritably.
"Buy the best one in town and have the
bill sent to me, but don't bother me
with the details of the affair. Get one,
and stick it up In the conservatory, If
you want one, and It Isn't too large."
"But I don't know anything about
them."
"Find out. and If It's too big for the
conservatory, stick It up on the lawn,
and, if that ain't big enough, I'll buy
the next lot In order to make room.
There can't any of them fly any higher
than we can, and, if It comes to a ques
tion of trees, I'll buy a whole orchard
for you."
Still she hesitated.
"The fact ia, John," she confessed at
last, "I don't know Just where to go for
anything In that line. Where do they
keep family trees and all such things?"
"What do you suppose I know about
It?" he exclaimed. "You're running the
fashionable end of this establishment,
and I don't want to be bothered with it.
If the florist can't tell you anything
about It, hunt up a first-class nursery
man and place your order with him."
Chicago Post
th
Bon Jumped Thirty-One Feet.
"The most tremendous leap I ever
knew a horse to take," says Sir Claude
de Cresplgny In his memoirs, "was out
with the Cheshire hounds at Marbury
In 1870. A fine mare I was riding
cleared a five-foot fence with a bound
that covered over thirty-one feet. We
measured it directly afterward and It
was stated at the time to be the second
best Jump in point of length on record,
the best being thirty-three feet. This
latter Jump, howeve which was per
formed by Chandler at Warwick, is
open to much doubt. After the horse
had made It its rider had to finish the
race, weigh in and dresa before taking
any measurements. Meanwhile sev
eral spectators on horseback had rid
den over the course.
"It is worthy of remark that the best
long Jumps of horses are little better
than those of men. Mr. Fry, the Ox
ford long Jumper, would be a good
match against some fair equine per
formers in the hunting field and race
course. There Is this difference, of
course that a horse usually takes off
from comparatively rough ground and,
moreover, can clear height and length
In the same Jump. Good Jumps are
often achieved by horses over hurdles.
Harold, for instance, schooling over low
hurdles the other day at Epsom,
cleared twenty-seven feet. Clean
Jumps of twenty-four and twenty-five
feet are frequent." New York World.

Ellen Terry In 1861.
Fuck was acted by a child, a blonde,
roguish girl about 10 years old. This
was well devised and accords with the
traditional Ideas of Robin Goodfellow.
The costume was well chosen dark
brownish-red garment, trimmed with
blood-red moss and lichens; a similar
crown was on the blonde, Bomewhat
disheveled hair. Arms thin and bare
and as long as though she belonged to
the clan Campbell, whose arms reach
to the knees. In theory I am thorough
ly agreed with this way of represent
ing Puck, but in practice there will be
always great difficulties. This 10- year
old, Miss Ellen Terry, was a downright
Intolerable, precocious, genuine Eng
lish, Ill-bred, unchildllke child. Never
theless, the impression of her mere ap
pearance Is so deep that I cannot now
Imagine a grown-up Puck, with a full
neck and round arms. Let me record
the way In which, on two occasions
when he was to hasten, Puck disap
peared. The first time he seemed to
stand upon a board which with one
sudden pull Jerked him behind the
coulisse; the second time he actually
flew like an arrow through the air.
Both times by machinery. Theodor
Fontaine's Aus England.
In Real Life.
"You have no heart."
Palo but tearless, she stood before
him and looked him square la the eye.
She was poor but proud. Adverse
fortune had reduced her wardrobe to a
calico basis, driven her and her only
surviving mother to the top of a Wa
bash avenue apartment house and har
dened the lines about her still beauti
ful mouth, but it could not dim the
luster of her blue-black eye or tame
the unconquerable spirit that animated
every fiber of the lissome form standing
erect with unconscious grace and
awaiting his answer.
"You have no heart," she repeated.
"No, mi's," replied the butcher, "but
we've got some mighty nice liver. Will
that do Just as well?" Boston Journal.
Surface of the Earth.
Astronomers calculate that the sur
face of the earth contains 31,625,625
square miles, of which 23,814,121 are
water and 7,811,504 are land, the water
thus covering about seven-tenths of the
earth's surface.
Harmony.
The great need of the world Is a reli
gion which can harmonize the interest
of the Individual with the interests of
society, which can make the desire of
the Individual and the desire of Boclety
one and the same thing. Rev. H. Bige
