THE CAMPHOR TREE.

One of the most useful and magnificent
productions of the vegetable kingdom
that enriches China, and more particular
ly the provinces of King-si and Canton, is
the champion tree. This stupendous
laurel, which often adorns the banks of
the rivers, was in several places found by
Lord Amherst's embassy above fifty feet
high, with its stem twenty feet in circum-
ference. The Chinese themselves affirm
that it sometimes attains the height of
more than three hundred feet, and cir
cumference greater than the extended
arms of twenty men could embrace.
Camphor is obtained from the branches
by stepping them, while fresh cut in wa
ter for two or three days, and then boiling
them till the gum, in the form of white
jelly, adheres to stick which is used in
constantly stirring the branches. The
fluid is then poured into glazed vessel,
where it itconcretes in few hours.
70 purify it the Chinese take a quanti-
ty OF tinely-poWdered earth, which they lay
at the bottom of a copper basin; over this
they place layer of camphor, and then
another layer of earth, and 50 on until the
vessel is nearly filled, the last OF topmost
layer being of earth. They cover this last
layer with leaves of plant called po no,
which seems to be species of mentha
(mint). They now inyert second basin
over the first, and make it air tight by
luting. The whole is then submitted to
the action of a regulated fire for certain
length of time, and then left to cool grad
ually. On separating the vessel the cam
phor is found to have sublimed, and to
have adhered to the upper basin. Repe-
titions Of the same process com plete it's re-
fnement. Besides yielding this valuable
ingredient, the camphor tree is one of the
principal timber trees of China, and is
used not only in building but in most ar
ticles of furniture. The wood is dry and of
a light color, and although light and easy
to work, is durable, and not likely to be
injured by insects.

WEIGHT OF THE HUMAN BODY.

There are few people but like to be
weighed occasionly ; some do it regular.
ly at certain hours before and afteI
meals, or taking bath, etc. Yet there
are few things so changeable as the
weight of the body ; indeed, it is rarely
the same for few minutes together,
and if a man were to sit on one of the
plates for whole day the other plate
would be constantly oscillating within
certain limits. The state of the weather
and the time of the year influence our
weight. In summer weather we grow
fatter than we are in winter-such is the
general rule; yet most people believe
that hot weather makes US leaner. 1t is
true We eat less and perspire more
these are certainly two cases of loss; but
on the other hand, we expend less ia
keep up the temperature of the body,
and moreover we drink more, and our
beverages possess the curious property
OF increasing our fat. Beer, and even
pure water, are great fattening agents.
Cattle reared for slaughter get great
deal to drink, which increases their bulk
considerably; the tissues aregorged with
liquid, and so the weight increases, but
the system is weakened. In winter the
organism has to be provided with heat;
we eat more, but also expend more to
keep up the temperature of the bodyr
then also We drink less, so that, on the
whole, the loss is greater than the gain,
and we grow lean, In short, we fatten
when, under ordinary circumstances, we
burn more of the food we have taken.
and we, therefore, in breathing, exhale
carbonic acid in proportion. We begin.
to emit less of the latter in April its,
amount diminishes considerably in july,
August and September, and attains its
minimum about the autumnal equinox.
1t then goes on increasing from October.
and we begin to loss the subtance gained
ourlng the summer. From December to-
march, we remain nearly. stationary. To
conclude, as We consume less in summar
than In winter, all other. circumstances
remaining the same, We are heavier in
hot weather than we are in winter

cases wherein directors give up the man
agement Of the affairs intrusted to them
to some one officer for years, examine
into no accounts, look after no interests
of the stockholders who elected them,
while the interests of those stockholders,
If not stolen outright, are badly man
aged or foolishly squandered. We have
in view at the present moment a street
railroad tributary to Cincinnati, in which
the means of laboring people were in-
vested in order to secure rapid transit to
their places of business, that has almost
from the time of its construction been
left under the control of one man, and,
although it is capable of demonstration
that the net profits of the road are and
have been large, the general stockholders
have never received a cent of dividend,
while the property has been so badly
managed as to deprive the public in
a great measure of the advantages
they had hoped to derive from it. The
road, by their neglect of the commonest
precautions and care, is becoming almost
useless, and will quite probably be de-
clared by the next Grand Jury public
nuisance.
Of course thorough judicial investi-
cation or the energetic action of the di-
rectors would soon remedy this great
public wrong and bring the wrong doers
to punishment if they did not account
for every dollar of the trust funds they
had received and squandered. But the
class of men Of whom we speak, like Case
and Dr. Lambert, now in the New York
Penitentiary, and like this man Bates
now in his grave, trust in the old prin-
ciple, that "what is eyerybody's business
is nobody's business" and that they will
enjoy an indefinite, if not an unlimited
immunity from punishment for their
illegal acts.

The Hour Glass.

Sparkling, dancing downward,
Merrily drop the sands,
While the golden hours go gaily pass,
Amid rose and lily, and soft green grass;
Wherefore so eager to turn the glass,
Oh dimp ri baby handsf
Glittering, flashing downward,
In the glow of the April sun,
All sweet white fingers, and sky-blue cycst
And cheeks as rosy as western skies;
'Ts pity in Youths first Paradise
That the sands SO swiftly run.
Stealing forever downward,
Gray tinging their virgin gold,
Pulses still quivcr, and hearts still beat,
But the road grows hard for the tired feet;
Surely the sky had more warmth and heat
And the sands showed brighter Of old.
Dropping drearily downward,
The evening is well nigh o'er,
The brightest and best the river have crossed
The bolt is shot, and the venture lost;
The bark on the last long wave is tossed,
Tho glass needs to turn no more.

JAPANESE ADJUSTMENTS.


How the Japanese amuse themselves IS
thus told by the Japan Gazette: A large
paper screen hangs down at the edge of
the platform. Suddenly flutes are blown
and drums beaten, and then five or six
trunks of green pine trees appear on the
paper screen after which a man habited
in ceremonial dress, with a Yeboshi on
his head, makes his appearance, holding
a bell in his right hand and fan in his
left. He moves his eyes and eyebrows
about, rings the bell, Aourishes his fan
and dances SO gracefully to the accom-
panYing music that the spectators are
misled into the belief that it is real flesh
and blood performing for their edifica-
ton. In moment the shadow vanishes;
and Immediately after variety of beau
tiful trees and lovely plants make their
appearance. There are plum trees, chy-
santhemums, peonies and lotuses, all of
which are made to produce buds and
blossoms aud charming flowers, to the
astonshment of the beholders, who mani
fest their appreciation by frequent and
loud applause. The scene changes; the
garden disappears, and in its place is a
temple adorned with red and white flags,
and lighted by rows of small lanterns.
Worshippers are visible passing to and
fro, throwing in their cash and praying.
The music stops; the worshippers have
all disappeared. 1t is night-midnight.
Hark! There breaks upon the ear the
footmen's cry of ,0dkiyOre! (give Way.)
1t is the procession of foxes, they pro-
ceed very slowly; some are carrying
mats others lighting the procession by
torches held between their teeth more
are carrying wooden sticks and bamboo
poles. This procession is that of lady
fox who is ON her way to be married
and as soon as it has passed through the
tori, all the foxes are transformed into
men, the mats into boxes, torches to IAN
terms. bamboo poles to spears, and the
wooden sticks to kago or norimono. The
