The study of vegetable life shows us | many things as strange and as wonder- | ful as the animal kingdom affords, and when it comes to longevity animal life makes a very poor comparative showing. If we were inclined to travel far enough we might sit under the shade of trees that spread their branches when little Moses slept in his wicker basket among The gigan- tic trees of California are very old, but they are infants compared with some of the wonderfu: trees of the Old World. There is au African tree called the bao- bab, which lives to be thousands of years old Humboldt calis it “the oldest or- gavic monument on our planet.” Ove specimen of +t that was carefully exam- ined by ap English botanist proved to be 5,150 years old. At least that was there- eult of the usual tests for determining the lives of trees This particular tree was 30 feet tp diameter. and the spread of ite | branches was enormous Another wonder of longevity is the ac called dragon's blood tree of Teneriffe, Resin obtained from this tree has beeu found in sepulchers, where it bad been used in embalming the dead. Trees of this species are now standing which are estimated as being older than the Wgyp tian pyramids One of the strangest of trees is the Ita palm. found abundantly ov the banks of the Amazon and other South American rivers. Io the ewampy regions, which cove: immense areas, the Ita paim fur- nishes food, drink clothing, and comfort- able homes for the natives The Indians that inhabit these swampy districts make a tolerable wine from tue sap of the palm, and they distill astronger stimulant by crushing and fermenting the young fruits The food is derived from the soft inner bark of the stems, and is asubstance that, in taste and ap- pearance, closely resemblessago. The soft und fibrous bark is used for garments and for making string, ropes, hammocks, and the hke In times of high water. often lasting two or three months, the natives make floorings in the trees with the bark ropes and live there in comfort and con- tentment The tree of most varied usefulness is probably what is commonly called the American aloe, It can hardly be digni- fied by the name of tree, and might more properly be called a plant. It grows in South America, and is found all the way from the plains to elevations 10,000 feet above the sea. It furnishes thread for sewing and ropes from which cab'es are tuade strong enough to suspend a bridge more than 100 feet long. Humboldt mentions one bridge 130 feet long, swung from cables four inches in diameter, that was made from this palm bark. Paper and clothing are also made from the bark, and the jeaves are used for cleansing, scouring, and the manufacture of razor strops. By evaporating the water from the thin sap soap is obtained, “as detergent as castile, and will mix and form a lather with salt wateras well as with fresh," asa reputable authority tells us. The sap also contains sugar, and this is used largely in the manufacture of liquor. It is said that a very intoxicating brandy is another product of the sap, and as the natives seem to have rather intermittent attacks of sobriety the statement is prob- ably correct. The bread fruit tree flourishes in many of theislands of the South Pacific Ocean, and also in some of the islands of the East Indies. The bread fruit isa com- paratively large tree, averaging, perhaps, one foot in diameter. The fruit is as large asa child's head. It is covered with a thin skin and has a relatively small core. It is snowy white and about the consistence of newly baked bread. Tn order to prepare it for food it is cut into large slices and roasted. It is said to be easily digested and very nutritious, and it certainly forms a staple article of food for thousands of people. Another wonder of this kind is the cow tree of South America, which is credited with yielding a lacteal fluid which, in color, taste, and nutritive property, closely resembles the offerings of your milkman. It forms large forests in some districts of Venezuela and is much prized for its product. The tallow tree of China is so called from the fact that it produces a substance resembling tallow, and which is used for similar purposes. The fruit is inclosed within a pod. A white pulp is found within, and this substance the Chinese use in making candles, mixing a little oil with it to make it softer and more pliable. The paper tree of the South Seas is a species of the mulberry. Its inner bark is so delicate that a soft and pleasant feeling cloth is made from it, which the natives use in making their “best suits.” I is also used in the manufacture of a 'y fine grade of paper. The fiction about the deadly Upas tree of Java, which was published in Holland ja little more than 100 years ago, and which was believed for many years, has only this substantial basis: The tree exudes a poisonous juice, which the na- tives dry and mix with other ingredients for the tips of their arrows. Futher- more, the Upas tree is found in the low valleys of Java, where deadly carbonic acid often escapes from crevices in vol- sanic rocks.—Philadelphia Times, A Wond An underground Jake has been discov- sred three miles from Genesse, Id.

Coolidges Harness attachment is the best thing of the kind ever put on the market. It is so arranged that any one can secure it to any harness, in three minutes, without cutting th same in any way, right out in the street. It can be taken off th harness in two minutes, and the harness returned to its forme style without the least trouble or ing and unhitcbing as a horse car less than 30 seconds and extricated in less than 5 seconds. exertion. It saves time in hitch n be attached to the vehicle in lt is an ornament to the harness and contains nothing in its parts to get out of order, the case being so constructed that the straps can be lengthened or shortened as is reqaired. The Bolt is re movable secured so as to allow worn. The particular advantage ers consists in the construction of the case and the spring to be removed when this device possesses over oth arrangements of the straps, whereby the same may be attached to any harness without cutting the same, as has been heretofore necessary in order to use devices of this character. To the loop of the Bolt may be attached lines 28, said lines be ing connected with the driver by suitable means, so that ifthe horse runs or becomes unmanageable, the tightening of the lines will draw the bolt 12, and the spring 24 will cast the piate 16 a- side and release the animal trom the vehicle. Any woman er child can hitch or unbitch a horse without the slightest trouble. Thousands of the attachments are being used every day. PREVENTION JUST BEFORE THE) CEREMONY.

Total population, 26.0 33 were under five years of age ; lo were under one year old, and 23 over 60 years. 21 of the deaths occured in hospitals and publie institutions. The deaths by classes were as follows: Zy moti 31; Constita- tional, 29 ; Loeal, 50 ; Development- al, 11; Violence, 4 The pripcipal causes of death were: Croup, 2; Diphtheria, 6; Consumption, 19; Diarrhoeal, Rg | Erysipetas, 0; Typhoid Fever, 17; Malarial Fevers, 2; Scarlet Fever, 0; Paeumonia, 5; Congestion of the Langs, 3; Bronebitis, 7; Meas- les, 0; Whooping Cough, 1; Kid- ney Diseases, 12; Meningitis, 0; Cancers, 3. Births reported: 19 white males, 23 white females; 14 colored males, 21 colored females. Martiages reported: 22 white; 11 colored. Still-births reported: 5 white; 4 colored. The deaths during the last week ending on Saturday numbered 125, against 121 in the previous week, During the same period last year there were 111 deaths. The in-~ crease this vear in mainly due to the prevalence of typhoid fever and an apusual mortality fro» kidney diseases. There were 17 deaths from typhoid and 12 deaths from Bright’s disease aud Nepbritis. The average age of those who died of typhoid fever was 31 years and the daration of the last sickness averaged 21 days. This disease has not developed in any one loeal- ity, but seems to be the result of a geveral exciting cause. The mortality trom acute lung diseases amounted to 16 as against ll in the previous week, of whom seven died of bronchitis and five from pneumonia, while consump- tion caused 19 deaths. Auother fatal case of “La- Grippe” was reported thus making the third within three weeks. This ease, like the former two, was a resultant from the epidemic of last | April, and terminated in pnlmona- | ry decay which lasted six months in its siege upon the tke vital forces. Diphtheria is about stationary and does not show any immediate development into an _ epidemic form. This disease is now preval- ent all over the northern portion of | the United States, and western | Europe, in some cities prevailing in a violent form. | a PERSONALS. Hon. B. K.
