HOuSetOp Gardens.

Housetop gardens have not attained
to the IMPORTANCE predicted of them in
the days when the lowering of the price
of glass brought that useful article into
demand for thousand different uses
unthought of previously. But a suffi-
cient number of examples are to be
found, in London for example, to sug-
gest that the covering of the roofs with
glass will in few years become COM
mon. The photographers have given
an impetus to the enterprise by show
ing how sunlight, previonoly wasted on
unsympathetic tiles, could be utilized
for the advantage of mankind. Ahouse-
top garden not only provides source
of pleasure, and it may be even of profit
in itself, but it adds materially to the
comfort of a dwelling by equalizing the
temperature of the upper rooms. By
screening the sunshine from the roof,
the suffocating heat that often prevails
in houses in the height of summer is
abolished, and in the depth of winter
the chambers nearest the roof are some
degrees warmer than they wonld be
were the roof exposed to the chilling in
fuence of wind and frost and snow

The Cruelty of MONKEYS.

An amateur naturalist, writing of the
fondness of cruelty for its own sake
observable in the human species, says:
''To refer to the striking similarity of
this passion In man to that which is
manifested by monkeysis not, of course,
to explain its origin; but I am quite
sure that it is in the monkeys that this
explanation is to be sought. Every one
knows that these animals show the
keenest delight in wantonly torturing
others, but every one does not know
how much trouble an average monkey
will put himself to in order that he may
crafty his taste. One example
will suffice. A friend who has
lived long time in India
tells me that he has not unfrequently
seen monkeys fe1gning death for an
hour or two at time, for the express
purpose of inducing crows and other
carniverous birds to approach within
grasping distance, and when one of the
latter was caught the delighted monkey
would put it to all kinds of agonies, of
which plueking alive seemed to be the
favorite. AS am not aware that any
other animal exhibits this instinct Of
inficting pain for it's own sake (the case
of a cat with a mouse belonging,
think, to another category, I believe if
its origin is ever to receive a scientific
explanation, it will be found in some
way connected with monkey life"

Catching a Iunatic.

A fine elm tree which stood near the
the goldfish pond directly before the
capitol, has been cut down, unavO1da-
bly,, as it with others INSTRUCTED the
view of the building. At one of the
inaugurations of Mr.. Lincoln-the first
one, believe-a crazy man clambered
up into this tree, and going out on one
of the upper branches until 1t swayed
with his weight he began to address
tue assembled multitude at the top of
his voice on slavery. The officials en-
treated him to come down, but he re-
fused, and declared that if any one
attempted to climb up after him he
would jump to the ground, which would
have killed Or MANNED MIN. And so he
kept shouting away, although it was
almost time tor the presilent-elect to
appear on the platform in front of the
capitol, ana there deliver his inaugural.
No one could have heard this had the
lunatic continued to yell out his inco-
herent and blasphemous sentences so
near him. What was to be done ?
Some shouted, "Shoot him - but
there was a general cry of disapproba-
tion
A mounted army officer conceived a
plan for quoting the noisy fellow
Riding up to the tree in which he was
perched, he said in commanding tone:
" You sir, up there Mr.. Lincoln de-
sires to see you few moments, to con-
suit with you about his Inaugural !"
"Does Lincoln really want my sublime
ideas ?'a said the interested lunatic.
"He is waiting in the Senate Cham
ber.' replied the officer. "Tll come
right down." answered the crazy man
and be descended with great rapidity,
but no sooner had he touched the
ground, than half dozen detectives
grabbed him. He struggled Justify, de-
claring that the President had sent for
him, but he was carried bodily to the
guard-house, and just as his rawlings
grew faint in the distance, Mr.. Lincoln
came to the front of the platform and
delivered his inaugural without inter-
ruption. I have never since seen the
tree without thinking of. this incident

The Effect of Exercise.

It is found by observation that the eff
feet Of '' training" or the persistent
use Of gymnastic exercises, is to enlarge
the heart and lungs both in size and
capacity. Archibald McClaren, Super
intendent of the Oxford gymnasium,
and author of "Physical Education, y
says: "One of the army officers sent
to me to be instructed in gymnastics
gained five inches in girth around the
chest in less than three MONTHS That
this growth is not explained by the
mere enlargement of the pectioral
muscles is proved by the increased
volume Of air which the lungs are en-
abled to expire, as is demonstrated by
the spirometer, and post mortems
abundantly show an increased capacity
as we'll as size in the heart and large
blood vessels. The. lungs increase in
length and breadth, forcing the ribs
outward and the diaphragm downwards.
1t is for this reason that athletes and
gymnasts are enabled to make prolonged
and violent exertions without getting
out of wind. The capacity of the heart
and central arteries being enlarged, they
can accommodate more blood. Their
contractile power being increased by
this new demand upon them, they are
enabled to send on the current through
the lungs with increased velocity, and
thus by their greater capacity are able
to oxygenize the blood as fast SIS it is
supplied to them, and SO no congestion
takes place, and no inconvenience is
felt. The normal capicity of the lungs
of an adult male is about 200 cubic
inches. It is computed that an en-
largement of three inches around the
chest gives an increase of fifty inches of
lung capacity.
