The fever tree { Eucalyptus globulus),
so extensively extolled for its medical
properties Gt was supposed to drive
away fevers wherever planted). has at
length been the object of special inves-
tigation at scientific hands. 1t is found
that there are no medical properties in
the plant itself. The immensely rapid
growth requires an immense supply of
moisture, and, hence, the plants make
wet ground dry by the sheer demand of
the roots for moisture. In SO far as
they dry swampy ground, the treea are

An Inn in Japan.

The certainty of having a pleasant
resting place after the toll and trouble of
the day is one of the charms of pedestri-
anism in Japan. From the moment the
threshold is crossed to the moment of
departure the visitor is the object of un-
ceasing solicitude on the part of every
one connected with the establishment,
from highest to lowest. If it is mid day,
and he has arrived hot, dusty, and a
little tired, after long mornings tramp,
the whole force of the establishment
ushers the visitor into a pretty, light
apartment, looking on to one of those
marvellous miniature gardens in which,
covering space of few feet, the
mountains, woods, rivers, and floods of
an entire province are represented. BY
one neatly dressed, pleasant looking
damsel his boots are taken off and his
feet bathed in hot water; second fans
him and keeps up voluble patter of
conversation; third on her knees offers
him refreshing tea and sweetmeats;
while the host himself, with another de-
tachment of mattresses, is helping the
coolies to unpack the box containing the
European food. Everything that meets
the eye is contrived to please it. There
are vases with flowers dotted about; from
the woodwork outside are suspended
gayly-colored lanterns, or festoons of
glass through which the wind makes
soothing music, SO that by the time the
traveller has finished his repast, has
smoked a pir e, and perhaps drunk a cup
of "Saki with the host, he feels thor
oughly refreshed and in capital humor
to resume his journey. All this enjoy
ment is procured at merely nominal
cost, and the present of some bread or
European liquor to the house at leaving
brings out the whole establishment, who
say " Sayonara that is, Good-by F"
with their foreheads on the mats.

FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE.
They Didn't Think.

They DIdn't Think.
Once trap was baited
With piece Of cheese;
II tickled so little mouse
1t almost made him sneeze;
An old rat said, "There's danger,
Be careful where you gor'
Nonsense !" said the other,
81 don't think you know ~
So he walked in boldly
Nobody in sight;
First he took nibble,
Then he took bite,
Close the trap together
Snapped as quick as wink,
Catching mousey fast .here,
Cause he didn't think.
Once little. turkey,
Fond Of her own way,
Wouldn't ask the old ones
Where to go or stay
She said, "rm not baby,
Here am halt-grown;
Surely am big enough
To run about alone!"
Of she went, but somebody
Hiding saw her pass;
Soon like snow her feathers
Covered all the grass.
So she made supper
For a sly young mink,
Cause she was so headstrong
That she wouldn't think.
Once there was robin,
Lived outside the door,
Who wanted to go inside
And hop upon the floor.
"Ho, no, said the mother,
"You must stay with me;
Little birds are safest
Sitting In a tree"
81 don't care," said Robin,
And gave his tail a fling,
~ don't think the old folks
Know quite everything"
Down he flew, and Kitty seized him,
Before he'd time to blink,
ooh, he cried, I'm sorry,
But I didn't think"
Now, my little children,
You who read this song,
Don't you see what trouble
Comes from thinking wrong?
And can't you take warning,
From their dreadful fate,
Who began their thinking
When it was too late?
Don't think there's always safety
Where no danger shows,
Don't suppose you know more
Than anybody knows;
But when you're warned Of ruin,
Pause upon the brink.
And don't 60 under headleng,
Cause you didn't think.
