her marriage one Of brilliant success, the two
years which she had passed in the imperial palace
could not have been pleasant. To begin with,
she had two m0thers-in-law, the two regents re-
tanning their powers for some months after her
marriage, and she could rightly claim but o small
fraction of her imperial husband. She was, it is
true, hwanghoi, his only Legitimate wife, but her
rights were shared by two inferior wives, mar
ried to him previously, and the boyhood Of the
prince whom she welded had been passed in the
dissolute company of the concubines with whom
an eastern court surrounds its monarch. What
ever her life may have been, no record of 1t has

influence of Trees on Rainfall and Climate.

~ a recent meeting of the Scottish Arboricul-
tnral Society, a report was made by Mr.. Buehan,
secretary of the Scottish Meteorological Society, of
experiments on rainfall at Cranwath. The forest
selected contained about ~sixty-two acres, and a
little outside to the northwest, was a green knoll
: quite clear of trees. In the interior of the wood,
and 800 yards distant was another knoll Of precisely
similar character. Immediately on the top of the
western slope OF this knoll was a bare patch about
so feet in diameter, and this was surrounded on all
sides with trees OF various sorts, varying from 40 10
SO feet in height. The growth of The green sward
and Of the plants around showed that she situation
was well fitted for the inquiry" Two sets OF
meteorological instruments, exactly alike, were
placed one on each knoll, at exactly the same
elevation above the ground. Observations were
begun on the 10th of September. 1873, and continued
to the end of October, 1874. "The precise points
to be elucidated were the temperature and the con-
dition of the atmosphere as regards moisture out
side the wood as compared with the interior of the
wood In the interior, the highest temperature was
1894 the lowest, l9 4; range, 60e4; on the out
side, Occurring the same day as the preeeding) the
highest, 1891; the lowest, 10 . s; range, SO 50.
The mean of all the maximum day temperatures at
the station within the woods was So 2; on the out
side. 81 . Z; OF all the minimum day temperatures
inside the interior, 3S 8; on the outside, 80 4.
The means of night temperatures were very nearly
identical at both stations during the whole period
of observation except in June, the difference was
never more than a fifth of n degree, but for the
days of maximum temperature the averages show
an excess of half a degree in favor of the station
inside.
The remarkable result disclosed during the annual
rise of temperature in the spring and summer
months was, that in the inside of the wood the tenn
perature was two degrees higher than on the out
side, while during the ANIMAL fall of temperature in
the autumn, the temperature OF the day inside OF the
wood was in the mean half q degree lower than on
the outside.
In respect to moisture, the results were as fol-
lows: The average dew-point, at 9 o'clock in the
morning, was, at the interior station, AZ 8 at the
exterior, 42o. In the month of August the dew
point at the interior was, on the average, Al Q g
higher than at the exterior.-American Sports

Some years since the pastor of a New England
village church adopted a plan to interest the
members Of his flock in the study of the Bible.
It was this At the Wednesday evening meeting
he would give out some topic to be discussed on
the ensuing week, thus giving a week for them
to study up. One week the subject was st. Paul.
After the preliminary devotional exercises, the
pastor called upon his deaeons to 'speak to the
question" One Immediately arose and began to
describe the personal appearance of the great
apostle to the Gentiles. He said st. Paul was a
tall, rather spare man, with black hair and eyes,
dark complexion, bilious temperament, etc., His
picture of Paul was a faithful portrait of himself.
He sat down, and another pillar of the church
arose and said, 81 think the brother preceding
ne has read the Scriptures to little purpose, if
his description of st. Paul is a sample of his
Biblical knowledge. st. Paul was, as / under
stand it, a rather short, thick-set man, with
sandy hair. grey eyes, fOrid complexion. and a
nervous. sanguine temperament giving, like
his predecessor, an accurate picture of himself.
He was followed by another who had a keen sense
Of the ludicrous, and who was withal an invete-
rate stammere he spoke as follows "My bre-
bre-bretheren, l have nev-never fo-found in my
Bi-bible much ab-a-about the p-per-personal APP
pe-pearance of st. P-p-paul. But one thing is
clearly established, and tha-that is st. P-paul had
an imp-p-pediment in his speech" The effect
can be imagined. A Z" tidal wave Of audible
smiles swept over the congregation, the good
clergyman taking his full quota. He immediate
ly arose and dismissed the assembly.

Son, WHAT A NUISANCE !''-This exclamation
fell from the lips of a mother, as the patter Of
many little feet went romping over the etoop and
the merry shout and laughter of happy voices
rang through the house. Willie had found his
chums, and Susie had gathered her p~laymates to
hide and 60 seek among the shrubs and bushes of
q luxurious home. But the mother had forgotten
for a moment that the brightest joys of her beau
tiful home were the bright and beautiful little
boys and girls who went rollicking across the
piazza, and who had called forth that thoughtless
expression. Children God bless them! Give
them a chance their pursuits, their play, their
anhitiens, their troubles, GRO seemingly very
trivial to many grown people. but to them they
are as stern, as real, as hard to endure. as are the
many burdens that come to us in our manhood
struggle. Then gladden. their young hearts with
a kindly word and a pleasant look. Let memory
photograph upon their minds your face framed in
bright wreath of loving smiles, and there will
come back to you a heavenly compensation of
happiness, yelling up into your heart a living
spring Of joy. God bless the children
