TREES AND HEALTH. Trees are the
great oxygen producers, thus furnishing
to the air what man most needs. at the
same time extracting from it carbonie
acid gas, which is poisonous to animal
life, though life-giving to them. By
furnishing the cool, refreshing shade to
screen us from our New England scorch-
ing June, July and August suns, they
not only render our own and the lives of
animals more enjoyable, but actually
serve to prolong life. No COW, horse, or
sheep could be subjected to the severe
experience of being placed in pasture
or driven along our roads during our
summer days, without the refreshing
shade Of overhanging trees is furnished
them. 1t is found that the sheep pro-
duees more, and better quality of NUT.
ton and wool, when in pastures thus
sheltered than otherwise; that the cow
yields more milk and of richer qusli-
ty; the OK takes on fat with less food.
and that horses are in every respect ben
e6tted as well as their drivers by libe-
raj supply of shade; and it is indisput.
able that the shade produced by trees is
far preferable in summer for cattle to
that of the shed.

From the Christian Weekly.
something for Children to do.


In few weeks thousands of children
will be leaving the hot dusty cities fol
the cool green country. As long as the
charm of novelty continues they will be
very happy. Their restless feet will
carry them through field and meadow
over the hill side and up the steep rock
Their eager eyes will spy out all the flo.
raj beauties of the forests and they will
bring home armfuls of the lovely treas.
ures. But the flowers and ferns and
vines Will wither and be thrown away.
The children will miss the excitement as
the city, and before many days of coun-
try have passed, the patient mother or
long-suffering nurse viii often hear the
question, T" What can we do now ?"
One very delightful plan is to set the
children to making collections of all the
wild flowers they can find, and presery.
ing them for future enjoyment. No ex-
tensive outfit is needed for pressing the
specimens. Let the mother on packing
her Saratoga trunk not forget to put in
several volumes of Patent Office Reports.
even at the risk of crowding out one or
two much berufiied dresses. An old At
las for ferns, is also very convenient. |
do not know why it is that the Patent
Office Reports are SO much better for
this purpose than any other book, unless
it be that they are SO dry that they more
readily absorb the moisture of the flow.
ers, but | know from experience they an
swer the purpose admirably.
Let the children commence with the
very first flowers they find. They should
collect both leaves and blossoms, and it
IS well to press two specimens of each |
kind. Show them how to lay the flow
ers carefully and smoothly into the press
ing book, with several pages between
them, and when all are in place they
should put brick or stone on the book.
The flowers should be changed to anoth-
er book in day or two, and the first
book should be stood up with the leaves
we'll opened that it may become thor
oughly dried and ready for use again.
The little ones. after one or two lessons.
will need no assistance. Encourage them
@ see how many different flowers they
an find. Their bright eyes will detect
title starry blossoms in the grass, where
before they never thought of looking.
md every excursion to the woods will
ifford them new specimens for the Her !
,arium that is 10 be.

glow upon their naked and contorted
forms. They got into the churches.
what was left of them, robbed the sacred
images, threw the holy vestments over
their shoulders, and made the ruined
walls re-echo the shouts of their beastlv
revelry. " 1t seemed" says "Tray Ber.
nado de Carmo, 9" as if hell had vomited
forth Its demons, and that the powers of
darkness prevailed"
From the cellars of the houses rose
the piercing cries of those who were per-
ishing of their neglected wounds, or suE.
locating from the effects of foul atmos-
phere. Here mother wept over the
dead bodies of all her children there
group of timid nuns stood around
their Abbess and knew not which way
to turn; now a fanatic rushed along
howling dismal prophecies; now long
file of white-clad Cistercians passed by,

again fell upon the ear the horrid mani
aele laughter of the lewd women and
brutal men at their dreadful reveIry.
An aged noble woman in full court
garments was seen searching among the
ruins OF her palace for her Jewels and
a famous Phryne of the day. Theresa
Brandoo suddenly converted, did such
noble deeds of charity that her name
deserves to be written in letters of gold.
For fifteen days was the city infested
with robbers, until Caryalba, afterward
the celebrated Minister Pomoal. set an
example of courage and energy. He
descended into Lisbon, and remained
days and nights together in his carriage
or on horseback, directing affairs and as
sisting in clearing away the ruins he
planted soldiers all over the CITY, and
whoever could not give clear account
OF the property found in his possession
was hung then and there, and 537 per-
sons thus perished. Many months clans.

A BULLET IN THE BRAIN.-The Gal
weston, Texas, News says:
The case of Mr.. Lawes, the gentle
man who was shot in the head, is rather
remarkable one. Although the bal
is imbedded about two inches in the
brain, Mr.. Lawes walks about his home
is the usual enjoyment of his mental fac.
ulties. The attending physician is Of
the opinion that the ball is incased by
this time, and, with prudence during the
summer months, no further danger need
be apprehended. Cases similar to the
one alluded to are recorded, in which
persons have lived with balls lodged in
the brain, while in some instances per-
sons have died from slight wounds of
the same character"
A most remarkable case of this kind
is reported in the surgeons reports dur
ing the late war. A young Norwegian
belonging to the Second Wisconsin Reg
iment was shot in the head at Bull Run.
de was taken as prisoner to Richmond,
when it was discovered that the bullet
had entered the side of the temple in a
slanting direction and had lodged in the
brain. The surgeons watched the case
with much interest, but the boy did not
appear to be seriously affected and after
some months was exchanged. He was
discharged and returned to his home in
Wisconsin and went to work on farm.
Not satisfied with this labor he again Of
fered himself as recruit, was accepted,
and again went into the army. In no
way did he appear Inconvenience by
the shot, save that on damp and ainy
nights while on guard duty he said that
his head felt dull. This feeling was not
enough to interfere with his duty. After
the war he went back to his farm and
now does as hard days work as any
man.

The LAUGHING PLANT.-In a work
on Central and Eastern Arabia, by Mr..
Palgrave, plant is mentioned whose
seeds produce effects similar to those of
laughing gas. 1t is native of Arabia.
A dwarf variety of it is found at Ka-
seem, and another variety at Oman.
which attains to the height of from three
or four feet, with woody stems, wide-
spreading branches and bright green fol-
iage. Its flowers are produced iu clus-
ters, and are of bright yellow color.
The seed-pods are soft and woolly in tex
ture. and contain two or three black
seeds of the size and shape of French
bean. The flavor is little like that of
opium, and their taste is sweet. The
odor from them produces a sickening
sensation, and is slightly offensive.
These seeds contain the essential prop
erty OF this extraordinary plant, and
when pulverized and taken in small dos
es, operates upon person Ia a most De-
cullar manner. He begins to laugh
loudly, boisterously then he sings, danc-
es and cuts all manner of capers. Suca
extravagance of gesture and manner was
never produced by any other kind of
dosing. The effect continues about an
hour, and the patient is uproariously
eomical. Then the exhausted exhibitor
alls into deep sleep. which continues
or an hour or more and when he awak-
ms, he Is utterly unconscious that any
uch demonstrations have been enacted
y him.

rent was not so high, and at that time
Gerald was on his way home. They oc
cupied two shabby rooms in the attic Of
a noisy tenement house, and Mabel was
trying to keep the wolf from the door by
sewing for one of the large ready made
clothing establishments. She had writ.
ten to Gerald at their change of fortune
and receiving no answer believed that he
had given her up.
Returning from the store one night
with bundle of work, she felt hand
upon her arm, and rude voice said,
Don't be in hurry, my DEAR"
She tried to shake off the hand, but
he only held the firmer. Looking around
she saw no one near, for it was a quiet
street and but few people on it.
"Oh, you need not expect help, my
pretty dear, you cannot escape me"
Hardly had the words left his mouth,
when stinging blow on the ear knocked
him senseless on the pavement.
Turning to thank her deliverer, the
words Gerald Mabel dropped stimuli
taneously from their lips. Mutual ex-
plantations took place ON their way to
Mabel's humble home. Judge Warning
was only too glad to give Mabel to Ger
aid, and so on the following day there
was quiet wedding, and Mabel and her
father left the old tenement forever.
In after years Mabel had her old
home back again, and she still reads
Owen Meredith's poems under the old
tree, while merry child plays at her
feet. Judge Warning breathed his last
in England, and died blessing his son
and daughter for their tender care in his
old age.-Mass Ploaghman.

assumption Of knowledge but with such
dense Ignorance. The discussion had
been running upon an amendment to the
homestead law, offered by Page Of Cali
fornia. providing that all proof, in cases
OF contest, might be taken before q judge
Of court Of record in the county in

10 the few words which follow, spoke the
sentiments Of the whole western world,
80 far as We know them:
Il represent q State which is perhaps

the amendment Of the gentleman from

about the matter, we can easily 80 frame
This bill as to guard entirely against any
abuse Of the privilege. The privilege Of
taking the proof in this way will relieve
the settler Of the great expense which
must attend his gong, 10 many districts
from one to two hundred miles to take
