Curious Trees.

The Adonsonia, or Baobab Tree, is the
giant of the vegetable world. We have the
record of one whose trunk measured one
hundred and four feet in circumference
The hight of this tree does not exceed fifty
or sixty feet, while the branches are about
same length, and when seen from distance,
the hemispherical cap of foliage almost re-
sembles forest. A fall grown Adansona,
with its deep green leaves, and large snowy
blossoms is magnificent sight. 1t attains
TO patriarchal age, and it is said there are
trees now living more than two thousand
wears old. 1t is native of Senegal and
other parts of Western Africa.
The Dragon Tree-another gigantic tro-
pical erowth-has ordinarily an erect trunk
of not more than twelve or fourteen feet IN
hight, which divides into short branches,
each terminating in an expanded tuft of
pointed, sword shaped leaves. There was
one of these trees, destroyed by tempest
some forty years ago, in the island of Tene-
rife. which measured forty five feet in cir
conference, and nearly sixty feet in hight,
and which was supposed to be one of the
oldest living inhabitants OF our globe.
The Courbarils, of Brazil, are described
rs having trunks more than eighty feet in
circumference at the base, and sixty feet
where the boles become cylindrical. They
are said to resemble living rocks more than
trees, for it is only on the pinnacle of their
bare and naked bark that foliage can be dis.
covered. and that at such distance from
the eve that the forms of the leaves can not
he distinctly seen.
There was, and for anything we know,
there is still, a cypress at Chapuitepec, in
Mexico, whose trunk measured one hundred
mud eighteen feet in circ conference. In
Bucking hamshire, England. there is IA
nous view which has diameter of about
twenty seven feet.
The Norfolk pine, or Kawri of the New
Zealanders. attains huge size. This ma,
jestic tree grows to the hight of from one
hundr~i and sixty to two hundred and thirty
feet One is spoken of which measured
seventy five feet round the base.
Among gigantic flowers and leaves, we
have the Victoria Rrgia. water lily.

growing on a kind of vine, and having no
true stem or leaves. The petals of the flow,
er. as observed by the dscoverer, were five
in number, of dull brick red. and covered
with y.lowish white spots. They and the
nectary were from fourth to three
four,hs of an inch in thickness. The flower
measured full yard across. and the nectary
was oft capacity of six quarts, while the
weight was at least fifteen pounds.

Hoop Skirts.

Donald Mitchell, in the last number of
the atlantic Monthly, talks thus about these
women append g:s:
"Women did very we'll without them, and
looked quite as well, at least in my opinion.
Bat some ingenious man contrlvcd the idea
of tempting them with n new want, and they
were at once persuaded into believing that
hoop skirts were Indispensable to a genteel
appearance. They were adopted all over
the country with rapdity that outstripped
that of the cuffs and collars-not. perhaps.
I lat as many We e manufactured, because if
that had been the case, they could not have
been consumed, unless each woman had
worn two or three. And they may in fact
wear two or three each-l don't know how
that is-but look at the waste already visi'
BILE. Every week or two new patterns are
brought out, better, lighter, or prettier than
the last whereupon the old ones are thrown
N side. though not half worn. Why, Miss,
do you know that your sex are carrying
about them some thousands of tons, of brass
aud steel IN the shape of these skirts? As
to the waste, it is already so large as to have
become public nuisance. An old hat or
shoe may be given away 10 somebodv--an
old scrubbing brush may be disposed of by
nutting it into the stove but as to an old
skirt, who wants it? You cannot burn it {;
the very beggars will not take it and hence
it is thrown into the street or into the alley
close to your door, where it continues for
months to trip up the feet of every wayfar-
ing man quite as provokingly as 1t some
times tripped up the feet of the wearer. 1t
is the waste Of hoopskirts, as much as any
thing else, that keeps the manufacture SO
brisk

How TO PUT PosTs INA FENCE.-It is a
universal practice of the Maories--natives
of New South Waes-in putting posts in the
ground for post and rail fence, to put the
post upside down-tbat is, with the end that
stood highest in nature in the ground and
that posts so fixed will last much longer
time than posts put in in the usual manner.
As the aboriginal races of most countries
are usually right in all matters which spring
from minute observation of nature, those
who are not too proud to learn from
Maories, may initiate this custom with ad-
vantage

GOLDEN
ITCH OINTMENT.

nCH yin MEN
4 SAFE, convenient and etficacious rem
"A edy for that most disagrerable and tor
menting dsorder-the ITClI-has been
always greatly needed but no one, it is
presumed. has before been discovered which
will certainly effect cure without having
ingredients in it both disagrceable and dan
gerous. Those that have attempted its cure
with birthstone, have generally applied it
with mixture Of hogs fat or lard, worn TOR
several days. OF dried in by the fire either Of
which exposes the patient to the most inlm
nent danger of taking cold, by opening the
pores of the body, and at the same time
impregnatinc the blood with a poisonous
quality, and weakening and facilitating the
whole constitution; others have used ONT
mentS which have either proved dangerous
TO health, or insufficient to effect a cure.
But this will as certainly cure the ITCH
as it is applied; it is easy and safe for ANY
age, habit or constitution. and attended with
no disagrceabe consequences Of any kind,
either at the time of using it, or at any time
after. as can be proved by thousands of peo-
pie Of different ages, constitutions and states
of health, who have used this ointment, and
have been cured by it.
No family ought to be without this valua-
BILE medicine for, on the first appearance OF
"
fingers. &c, slight application of this Oint-
ment will cure ii. and prevent its progress.
and likewise its being taken by others. 1t
may also be used as IA preventive, by touch
ing the hands or the inside Of the gloves once
in while with little it, when there is
suspicion that the disorder is prevalent, and
there is danger of taking it. For which rea-
son no people abroad on business, no student,
traveller. soldier or sailor, should be without
this Ointment. which is neatly put up in tin
boxes, convenient to carry, agreeable in its
smell, and will last good for long time. BY
this precaution, neighborhOOds, societies and
| schools might be freed from this tormenting
disorder. Should the patient have any
other eruption or breaking out, which he
mistakes for the ITcH an application of this
Ointment will do no harm, but often cues
the common breaking out, which arises il ON
a sharp, hot humor in the blood, and leaves
a smooth polish on the skin.
There have been many Ontments offered
! to the public, for the cure Of the ITCH, but
this valuable medicine bears no analogy to
! them in its materials, use, or effects; they
being generally made up of grease, brim-
| stone, tar, mercury, spirits Of turpentine.
salt petre; and such like disagreeable mater
