Human Folly.

The breed of horses Is supposed to be
improved as a result of competition between
their owners on the race tracks, but it is
more than doubtful whether the breed of
men is improved by attempts to achieve
the impossible in running, walking and
riding, such as are now described In each
issue of the daily papers. Here is man
who undertakes 10 walk $4,000 miles in
two years, and if he should suceeed anoth-
er will attempt to do the same thing in
twenty-three months. Another waitZes
continuously for twenty-four hours or more,
and, significant fact, does not become gid
dy; another swims many miles or stays
under water many minutes, while still
another walks continuously until he ac-
complishes some great feat of endurance
which yet another will undertake to trans.
cend next week. Lastly comes the man
who attempted to ride on horseback three
hundred and FIVE miles in fifteen hours,
but failed by about four miles in distance
or ten minutes in time. 1t is difficult to
see what good can come from any Of these
performances, and there is plenty of evi-
dence of the mischief they do in encour.
aging the carrying Of athletic exercises to
an extreme calculated to injure the bodily
health of all who practice them. In the
real test of enduranee-long life-nearly
all the athletes fail, and this fact should
serve as a warning to young folks Of both
sexes tempted to imprudently tax their
powers of endurance in gymnastic exer-
cises, in walking, rowing, swimming or
riding.-PdiIddeLphia Ledger.

The Uannon-Ball Tree.

One of these singular productions of
Nature, which seems to us so inexplicably
puzzling, when we seek their use or object
in being, is the cannon-ball tree, a native
of the West Indies, and found in the pri-
meval forests of the island of Trinodad .
and therefore nurtured under the blaze of
a tropical sun, and enjoying the full i'm
munities of tropic heat. hen the man
in the old story wondered why pumpkins
did,not grow on trees, he did not suppose
a thing more improbable than that which
We see in this singular tree. It grows to
great heights, and bears an abundance of
its strange fruit. The blossom is shaped
much like that Of a pumpkin, slightly col
cred with purple, grows directly out of the
bole or thick branches upon a short stem,
which curves downward and when the
fruit forms it carries the blossom upon il.
after the manner of an apple, until the
fruit having swelled to considerable size,
falls off. At this stage it resembles large
green walnut but as it advances to matu-
rity it grows rapidly and at last attains the
size of thirty-two pound shot, is of dark,
dull green, verging upon brown, and, be-
ing dense and solid, is extremely heavy.
Charles Kingsley tells story of an ar
my officer, who being ambitious to possess
one of these natural cannon balls, stood
beneath the tree looking up at the unat-
tainable, though not forbidden fruit; when,
like the old woman's yard of black pud-
ding, down it came on the bridge of his
nose, giving him a pair of black eyes,
which prevented his appearing upon pa
rade for more days than one

The Candle Tree.

This tree is confined to the valley of
Chagres, where it forms entire forests. In
entering them person might almost fancy
himself transported into a chandlers shop
From all the stems and lower branches
hang long cylindrical fruits, of n yellow
wax color, so much resembling a candle
as to have given rise to the popular appel
lation The fruit is generally from two to
three, but not unlrequeutly four feeet long,
and an inch in diameter The tree itself
is about tweuty-four feet high, with oppo-
site triioliated leaves and large white bios
SONS, which appear throughout the year,
but are in greatest abundance during the
rainy season. The fruit of the latter, call
ed QuaHhScilote, is eaten by the Mex;aans;
while that of the former serves for food to
the numerous herds of cattle Bullocks,
especially if fed with fruit of this tree.
Guineagrass, and Batdtilla, soon get fat.
1t is generally admitted, however, that the
meat partakes in some degree of the pecu-
liar apple-like smell of the fruit; but ;his is
by no means disagreeable, and easily pre-
vented, if, for few days before killing the
animal, the food is changed. The tree
produces its principal harvest during the
dry season, when all the herbaceous vegc-
tation is burned up; and on that account
its cultivation in tropical countries is es-
peeially to be recommended; few acres
of it would effectually prevent that want of
fodder which is always most severely felt
after the periodical rains have ceased.

Educate the Indians.

What education has done for the saw
ages who were banished to Florida from
the Indian Territory, few years ago, for
massacre and continued insubordination,
has already been mentioned in the Ledger
Taken to st. Augustine as manacled pris-
oners, seemingly untamable 'blanket In
dians, speaking no English, and confined
in a fort, number of them have been
taught TO read by the devotion of a few
good women there and civilized to the ex-
tent that desires ito learn books and to till
the ground" To any one who has seen
the admirable working Of the Hampton
Agricultural Institute and normal school
for colored youths, to which some Of the
young Indians have been sent, the addi-
tional experiment of training the red man
there to the use Of tools, plOughs, books
and pen will be extremely interesting;
The military discipline which is q part Of
the training, uniting to habits of prompt
ness, neatness and strict subordination, will
have its value here The cost of educat-
ing these few Indians is betrayed by pri
vate benevolenee, but what has already
been done in st. Augustine among those
thought to be Of the fercest and most un-
manageable in the Indian country, is an
indication that it would be very much
cheaper for the Government TO teach the
Indians everywhere than to fight them
anywhere.-Philadelphid Ledger.

The Title to Those Hams that Bones Stole
Gone into Under Protest.

Yesterday some new and incontroverti-
bic proofs came to light which proved
Bones to be guilty, and he was taken up
to be tried. The officer testified that when
he had first arrested him, some weeks be-
fore, he thought from his air of innocence.
taken together with his very plausible
story, that he must be the wrong man, and
he let him go. Since then he had watched
the house carefully, and yesterday found
several of the hams in his possession,
marked with the grocer's brand.
Bones, when asked what he had to say.
up and addressed the Court 1.-THE DO
liceman, in his decision few weeks ago
finally settled the question of my title to
these hams, and l think every man, ire
spective of party ties, will take the same
view. In my opinion, his decision was
final."
"We have no Electoral Commission on
the force, remarked the Court.
de interest of de city" responded
Bones, demand some rest" De agita-
tion of past differences can do no good.
All conflicting elements should be har-
monized. Let de bitter bygones of last
month be forever buried. Whatever doubts
dere may have been upon de question of
my title to dose hams were forever set at
rest when dat title was examined into and
passed upon by de policeman. His deci-
sion was final. Any furder agitation OBJ

The Court held contrary opinion, and

Thirteen at Table.

Nobody counts up the people that die
out of parties who sit down seven at table.
or eleven, or twelve, or nineteen, but IL
anyone should do it, in any given year,
the chances are that quite strong case
could be made out for any or all of these
figures as connected with the death rates.
Ii IS only when thirteen people find them
selves together at a meal that the old su-
perstition is mentioned, and then, if the
year goes over without any of the party
dropping out Of life, nobody thinks 10
mention that at the close. 1t is quite GER
tain that people are not protected against
disease or accident by the circumstance
that twelve knives and forks are on duty
around them while they cut up their own
meat and bread; if it were 50, indeed, then
all well-disposed neighbors might club to-
gether to take their meals in the assorted
numbers that defy the doctor and the
apothecary. But if there cannot well be
any life-insurance upon thirteen people
that put them for a twelvemonth into q
charmed existence, let them overhead,
overwork, overeat themselves with impu-
nifty, kindle fires with petroleum, or 90
without fire and food, it is equally evident
that neither can there be any safety in
ten, or in five, or in fifteen. IF the count
were kept against any given number, it
would not be long before it would fall into
very bad repute, and mig ght be made an
swerable not alone for people dying, but
for rob bing bank or forging election re-
turns. There is nothing at once so valua-
bic, and so open to abuse, as the handling
of statistics, and it is a wonder that NO
prophet has arisen up to count in what
choice numbers rogues, defauding cash
iers, assassins, and other death-dealing
gentry sit down to table.
