A ROME correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Press gives an interesting ac-
count of the sanitary virtues of the
eucalyptus tree. He says that the sup
posed place of the execution of ST.
Paul, some two miles outside the walls
of Rome, and on which there has long
been a monastery, was one of the most
pestiferous spots in that malaria affected
atmosphere. Such was the mortality
among the monks that for more than
fifty years no enc lived in the monas-
terry. Now, by the careful management
of some Trappists, grove of the poison
absorbing eucalyptus tree has been
raised to great height, and for the last
three years the monks have been able to
live there with perfect impunity, and it
is now as healthy as the Quirinal itself

The other day two young ladies on
the Nebraska frontier jokingly offered
to trade themselves off to couple of
Indians for fifteen ponies each, and the
Indians very willingly took the offer.
Finding that the joke was taken earn
nestly by their Indian friends, the girls
became somewhat alarmed. The red
men were told that it was a joke, but
they would have taken the girls by force
had they no. been intimidated.

IN the form Of interest, they will be paid for
ever, and We hail the growing irresistible ten
