post-mortem examination has been made at
the Morgue on the body Of an unknown man, about
thrty-ive years OF age VINO some days ago died
in Bellevue Hospital and the result showed he had
q fractured skull. Early on the morning OF the
23d ult deceased was found by Oficer King, OF the
Demonicos, Broadway and Chambers street, ana
taken TO the station house, from which he was sub
scquently transferred to the Tombs and rom

HOW PLANTS PURIFY THE AIR.

Plants gain their nourishment by the alb
sorption through their roots OF certain sub
stances from the soil, and by the decomposi-
ton, through their green portions, of a par
ticuiar gas contained in the atmosphere
car bonic acid gas. They decompose this gas
into carbon, which they assimiIate, and oxy-
gen which they reject. Now this phenome-
non, which is the vegetable mode of respra-
ton can only be accomplished with the as
sistance OF solar light.
Charles Bennett OF Geneva, who began his
career by experimenting on plants, and left
this attractive subject to dev)te himself 70

affection OF his sight, was the first 20 detect
this joint work, about the middle OF the
eighteenth century He remarked that vege
tables grow vertically, AMI tend toward the
sun, In whatever position the seed may have
oeen planted in the earth. He proved thu
generality OF the fact that, in dark places
plants always turn toward the point whenc,
light comes. He discovered too, that plant
immersed in water release bubbles of gas un
der the influence Of sunlight. In 177l
Priestly, in England, tried another expert

Then he placed the green parts of fresl
plant In the incIosuie, and at the end of tel
days the air bad become sufficiently purified
to permit the re-lightIng OF the candle. Thus
he proved that plants replace gas made i'm
pure by combustion with a com ous tibie gas
bud he also observed thai at certain times the
reverse phenomenon seems to result.
Ten years later, the Dutch physician, In

CULTIvATING THE WHITE ASH.

| The value of the white ash for timber is so
well known that it may seem almost super
tuous to name 1t. There Is scarcely . farm
implement, from rake handle up to a reaper
OF mower, of which the tough white ASH
does not form q part. But the cultivation
of this valuable tree has been and is still
sadly neglected In regions where good timber
tor the purposes named is and ever will be
needed. The time must soon come when
the implements required for agricultural
purposes on the far Western prairies will be
manufactured there, and good timber must
be had; therefore. It requires no great stretch
OF imagination to see that a profitable mar
ket Will soon exist far away from the present
source of supply. The cultivation of such
timber Is like money put out at compound
interest, and man investing small sum at
first will soon fud himself the possessor OF
large and constantly,increasipg capital. The
white ash 10 q tree easily grown from seed,
which may be obtained in unlimited quaint
ties and very cheaply. The seedlings may
be easily transplanted without fear of loss,
and will succeed In almost a,y good rich
soil. At first the seedlings appear to maze
slow progress in comparison with cotton
woods and willows, but when fairly estab
llshed their growth is RAPID aud in every way
Satisfactory. AS soon as the trees are a few
inches In diameter the timber is ready for
use, and thenceforward continues to increase
with age Farmers who are in need, or
likely To be, of good timber, should not neg
lect the cultivation of this most valuable
tree. -AndretO S. Fuller,

SOME MODES OF HAND.SHAKING
AND THEIR MEANING.


Every man shakes hands according to
his nature, whether It be timld or ag
grcssive, proud or humble. courteous or
cnrlish, vulgar or refined, sincere or hypo
critical. enthusiastic or Indifferent. The
incest refncments and idiosyncrasiea Of
character may not perhaps be discovers
ole in this fashion, but the more salient
points of temperament and individuality
may be made clear to the understanding
Of most p ope by better study of what
I shall call the physiology or tho philos-
ophy of hand shaking. some people are
too "robnstioHs" to be altogether pleas
ant. They take the offered hand with
the grasp of . vice, and IS if they had
with malice prepensc resolved TO squeeze
all the delicate little bones of your
knuckles into pulp or mince meat. And
while the tears of agony come into your
eyes and run down Your cheeks, they
smile at you benignly, like geutle giants
Unconscious of their strength and of the
tyranny with which they exercise II
Many Of them are truly good fellows, and
