The fever tree { Eucalyptus gIobulus),
so extensively extolled for it's medical
properties Git was supposed to drive
away fevers wherever p1anted), 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 ON immense supply of
moisture, and, hence, the plants make
wet ground dry by the sheer demand Of
the roots for moisture. In 80 far as
they dry swampy ground, the trees ags
q good sanitary agent.

FOR THE YOUNG PEOPLE.
They Didn't Think.

They Didn't Think
Once a trap was baited
With piece of cheese;
II tickled so little mouse
II 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 a nibble,
Then he took bite,
Close the trap together
Snapped as quick as wink,
Catching mousey fast there,
Cause he didn't think.
Once a little. turkey,
Fond Of her own way,
Wouldn't ask the old ones
Where to go or stay;
She said, "I'm not baby,
Here am half-grown;
Surely l am big enough
To run about alone!"
on she went, but somebody
Hiding saw her pass;
Soon like snow her feathers
Covered all the grass.
So she made a supper
For 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.
no, no, said the mother,
"You must stay with me;
Little birds are safest
Sitting in tree"
az don't care" said Robin,
And gave his tail fling,
~ don't think the old folks
Know quite everything"
Down he flew, and Kitty seized him,
Before he'd time to blink.
"Oh," he cried, I'm sorry,
But 1 didn't think"
Now, my little children,
You who read this song,
Don't you see what trouble
Comes from thinking W rong?
And can't you take a 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 go under headleng,
Cause you didn't think.

A boy, about thirteen years old, was
Saturday forenoon dragging a big,
sneakish- looking cur along High street
to find an owner for the canine. Ring
ing door bell he said to the housemaid
who answered it:
"I've brought your dog home"
"My dog - she exclaimed, as she
looked down upon the Embarrassed dog.

him up in the back yard"

grabbed for him.
He dragged the dog across the street
to where q girl was scrubbing the front
steps, and. bringing smile to his face,
he said
"Your Teller in Chicago sent you this
dorg by express to put in your Christ
mas stocking. The charges are fifty
cents, Where shall / tie him up p
"Gft out with ye-Pm no greenhorn "
she said as she raised the brush to hit
him.
The boy pulled on the rope with both
hands and got the reluctant, dog half a
block further, when he met boy car
rying home ten pounds OF buckwheat
flour. He blocked the way and said:
"Bub, yer father told me to bring this
dorg up to you and collect thirty cents. u

lad.
"Who said you had-I was only fool
ing. Say, bub, this ERE is the beauti

Madeira, champagne, Bordeaux and
Burgundy are the four principal wines

Wine and Authors.

Too many authors have been fond OF
the bottle. Rabelais said, Eating and
drinking are my true sources Of inspira-
ton. See this bottle! 1t is my true and
only Helicon, my cabalistic fountain.
my sole enthusiasm. Drinking, I de.
liberate; and celebrating, I drink. y
Ennius, E5chylus and Cato all got
their inspiration while drinking.
Mezeral always had large bottle of
wine beside him among his books he
drank Of it at each page he wrote. He
turned the night into day, and never
composed except by lamp light, even in
the daytime. Ali his windows were
darkened; and it was no unusual thing
for him to show friend to the door
with lamp, though outside it was
broad daylight. On the contrary
Varillas, the historian, never wrote ex

A Filter to Purify Air.

At a recent meeting of the New York
Academy Of Useful Arts, attention was
called to a simple method OF filtering
the air of an apartment. The object
ia to free the air from dust, excessive
dampness, and, possibly, from the
germs Of malaria. The continuance
consists essentially of a fibrous woven
fabric, strengthened by brass wire. 1t

cars to exclude dust. It has the merit
OF checking drafts, while admitting air.
Its general use might tend to prevent
the spread OF malarial diseases, and
modify the dangers that dirty streets oc-
casion to the health OF city residents.

DREAMING ar FoURsCoRE.

s Hhn ats In the gathering twilight
If, her well-worn rocking-chair,
4 with the snow Of life's lone winter
III the meshes OF her hair,
She dreams Of the little children
Who left her long ago.
And listens for their footsteps
With the longing mothers know.
She hears them coming, coming!
q And her heart Is all elate
y AT the patter Of little footsteps,
Down by the garden gate,
: The CHATTER Of ehildren's voices
Comes merrily TO her ears,
And she cries. In her quivering treble,
You are late, my little dearsi
And then, they are here beside her
As she had them long ago
Susie and Ben and Mary,
And Kuthie and little Joe.
And her heart throbs high WIN rapture
AS each fond kiss Is given,
And t1e night is filed with music
Sweet al her dreams OF heaven.
Such wonderful things they tell her!
"A nest In the apple. tree; ..
And the robin gave them "a scolding
For climbing up to seel ....-
"A wee white lamb in the pasture
Al wild rose on the hill
And such great ripe strawberry
AS Sue found by the mill!
She listens to all their prattlc,
Her lieatt abrim with rest
she's queen in O little Kingdom,
Each child q royal guest.
Queen2 lis an empty titlel
More than d queen is she:
X Mother of young immortalS
Who gather at her knee.
She brings their welcome supper,
And they sit down at her feet
Tired, and hungry. and happy,
And she laughs to see them cat
Then she smUpths the yellow tanglcS
With mothers patient hand,
While she tells some wonderful story
OF the children's fairy-land.
Then the little knotted shoe-strings
Are patiently united,
And the children in their night-gowns
Kneel at their mothers side.
Their voices are low and sleepy
Ere their simple prayers are said,
And the goodnight kiss Is given
By each waiting little bed
Then quiet comes about her,
Solemn and still and deep,
And she says in her dreamy fantlcS,
"The children are fast asleep"
Yes, fast asleep, poor mother,
In their beds SO low and green,
Daisies and clover blossom
Each face and sky between.

GAMBLERS LOCKED IN AN AIR
TIGHT VAULT.

Among desperate devices resorted
to by the Chicago faro-bank proprietors
to evade the vigors raids of the police a
favorite one is to lock up the inmates in
tre-pfoof vaults, which are supplied
with ventilating holes for this purpose.
Sunday morning at one o'clock George
Hankin's place was raided, and seven
teen players were bundled into the vault,
door locked and The police admitted,
Hankins and colored servant remain
ing ou side. Instead of going away, as
usual, on finding the room deserted, the
officer, who were up to the dodge, sat
down and waited. Noticing the ven
tilating holes, they stuffed paper into
them and again sat down and waited.
In about an hour the air in the vault
had become so vltiated that the prisoners
became desperate, and from the inside
came faint cries Of "Let us out; we are
nearly dead" Even then the proprietor
refused for time to liberate them, and
when he dld the seventeen inmates rush
ed out in a state bordering on suffoca-
ton. One old man was nearly dead,
and all were terribly exhausted. The
confinement of seventeen men in air

a dangerous experiment which faro-bank
patrons will hardly consent to try again
and its disastrous result will be OF
