L.ist night after we had gone to
Vtss, H was rumored about the
EtrtMs that had been
elected presidejit of the United
Staus. I
Iu making an Investigation, we
«"er., >vjd ]t>y .Mr. Blank that Wood
row Hughes was elected, aiid that
he ( Mr. Blank) knew all the time
lha: g.iid Woodrow Hughes would
he "he next president, it could not
be o'herwise, and he the aforesaid
Mr. Blank was so sure of it that he
hud placed a wager on the result.
Ah, now we had it. The thought
wa3 Jatk<?r to the wish, .and "the
ne.v; ma a we met gave us the in
formation that Charles Wilson had
been tlected, tha* the last remain- J
i .g state to l\> he rd from h-ui goaie
solid for him, and he kuew that it
tou.fj not be otherwise from he
very start, he was sure all the time
that Charles Wilson would be
flee" d. and-he backed his opinion
by placing a small wager on the
outci me. •
S'», the night wore on, and the
presidential race 'was anybody's
rat't, according to the way 'he bet
had been made. For a -itme each
fav« iiie brought home the "b^on.
hut the stake holders, ah, >they
wer> wis*, they had to he shown,
so ♦,.s bets have not'been paid, and
m'di.igfit, the question of those
who did net know all the time who
would ">e elected, and those w ho
had not wagered upon the outcome,
still asked, "What is the latest on
the election?"1
WdtUbt in clcse cooperation witi*
the'Bureau of Naturalization of the
V. C. Be^artment of Labor, the
public school authorities of the
I'niN d States have provided the
mctr,s whereby the adult alien pop
ula'iou may learn to speak, r®ad
a:id v rite the English, language and
ob'aij a knowledge ofA "merican in
Ftitutes and Government. The ad
vanta'e n the Community is real
i^ni but the alien friend does not
understand what they me^an to him.
I is to brin£ the benefit^ clearly
to thftir minds that these ma-s meet
i:i?s iir.ve been called by the -Nat
uralization Bureau. It is essential
that the attendants at these
n'on' classes bo mate.-ially increase
In all sections of the country.
Moteover, these mass meetings
have io" • ♦heir objectivee the ele
vation of the standard of American
citiz?M-hip ia the~eyes of the puo
Jic representing the resident alien
body citizens of birth, the school
■lutucrities and the, judiciary. The
conr's of the United States stand
ready to recognize .any ' elevation
of the standard of qualifications
for Remission, to citizenship when
those qualifications have been dem
onstrated as poesible of attainment
by the publio scih.ools locally. I
To insure *he success of this
movement the Bureau has asked
cooperation. of tile commercial, la
ber, patrioticl and 'other organiza
tions, togetheer with, the superin
tendents 'of schools, civil authori
ties;, clerks of naturalization, couTts,
an-' officials of th© local foreign
or radical associations.
There are approximately sixteen
and cne-half millionf .oreign-born
residents in this country, of which,
only about thro** and a half million
iare b°ien. naturalized, according; to
the tea*, census and sutbequent im
migration figures.

THE LAST JUDGMENT.
As It I* Hourly Dapictfcd by the Clook
of Beauvaia Cathedral.
The clock of Beauvais cathedral Is
said to be composed of 02,000 separate
pieces. One sees on the fifty-two dial
plafes the hour, the day, the week and
the month; the rising aud setting of
the sun, phases of the moon, the tides,
the time In the principal capitals of
the world, together with a series of
terrestrial and astronomical evolutions.
The framework is carved oak, eight
meters by five meters, or twenty-sis
feet by sixteen and a quarter feet
When the clock strikes all -the edi
fice seems In movement. The designer
wished to depict the last Judgment
This wonderful work recalls the clock
of Strassburg aud Is of modern con
struction. It Is the work of a Beau
vaisian, M. Verite, who was In the
engineering department of the Nord
railway and who died In 1887. %
As the striking begins the cock crows,
angels sound a trumpet at the four
cardinal points, imitation of flames ap
pears from the openings of little stee
ples right and left A soul, that of
the Impenitent thief, appears before
the Supreme Judge. It is condemned,
"a l'enfer," and a demon armed with
a pitchfork seizes It and casts It Into
the abyss. Nest comes the soul of
the Just. The angels advance and con
duct It to the realms of day, sacred
strains being heard.—London Chroni
cle.
PERSIA'S SORROWFUL TREE.
It Blooms Only at Night and Appear*
Withered In Daytime,
In faroff Persia there grows a shrub
which Is called the sorrowful tree.
Another name for this tree Is the night
Jessamine or the sad tree. The reason
why it Is called the sad or sorrowful
tree is because it blooms only at night
When the first star appears in the
sky the first bud opens on the won
derful tree. As the evening advances
the buds open more rapidly until the
tree is covered with a delicate bloom
and it appears like one vast flower.
The bloom is quite fragrant and the
odor is like the perfume of the evening
primrose. As the stars begin to grow
dim and the dawn approaches the
flowers begin to fade, and by the time
the sun has risen uot a flower can be
found on the tree.
During the hours of daylight the tree
appears to be withering as if it had
been Injured in some manner, but in
reality it is simply regaining strength
in order to put new blossoms on the
following night.
This tree is held iu high esteem by
the natives of the country where It
grows and is locked upon as a curios
ity by florists throughout the world
When cut down these trees send up
sprouts from the roots that will mature
into a flowering tree in a very short
time.—Apples of Gold.
Crowded Gibraltar.
In no place ou the surface of the
globe Is rent so high us at Gibraltar,
Che reason being thut the geographical
position of the town precludes the pos
sibility of Its being extended in any
direction. A lcug. narrow strip of
what was once sea beach is alone avail
able for building purposes. All the
rest is precipitous rock.
I'pon this narrww parapet, iu some
cases less than 100 yards iu width, are
crowded the homes of 23.000 people.
As much as a sovereign a week is ask
ed and obtained for the use of une
small unfurnished room, and this, too.
in a place where the normal rate of
wages is quite 70 [>er cent less than In
England. Naturally the overcrowding
is fearful, and. the water supply being
scarce and intermittent, cleanliness of
living, as we understand It, Is almost
impossible.
Xo wonder that in the old days the
plague and the cholera ravaged the
"Rock" with a virulence unknown
even in the filthy and pestilential cities

EXERCISING THE MIND.
Time and Solituds Ara Essoin! in
Learning to Think Easily^
An important element in ensy think
ing Is:
Opportunity for thought in time and
in solitude.
Many of us are "too busy." but with
far less productive things, to really
live or to really think One shoulu
make time, make solitude foi thought
People ure often ion much coniiuuous
ly together, especially yo.tns I eople
Each individual Is septrate and re
quires individual separate thought.
One In general should room by one
self or else in some way manage to
spend considerable time alone, along
tbe seashore or brook side or in one's
room. The gentle exercise of a stroll
or of a slow bicycle ilile requiring lit
tle attention to i toe If is oar ideal stim
□lant and occasion for thinking unless
the attention wanders too much out
wardly. The time should be somehow
had In which to be alone.
Schools are oftentimes loo crowded
to allow their students to think. One
can afford as a matter of dollars and
cents to take an extra year In school
If oue can learu to think by doing so.
The time so used Is a rich and certain
Investment.
In default of better time a half hour
after walking or before rising Is a
good time to think, and many people
have their most productive and orig
inal thoughts occur to them thus in
the mornlug and early after a good
night's rest.- Dr. G. Van N. Dearborn
in Scientific American.
