The trunk of a tree 800 feet high-o

THE trunk of a tree 800 feet high-or
a section of it-from Mississippi, is to
be among the wonders of the Paris Ex-
hibition. Last years geological survey
in Southern Utah revealed the fact that
the areas occupied by standing timber
are much smaller than those which are
capable of supporting such growth. The
destruction by fire greatly exceeds that
of the woodman's ak, and it seems de-
sirable that some methods for prevent
ing forest fires should be devised, and,
as a measure of public economy, adopt
ed in Utah, and perhaps in other Terri
tories.

THE EUROPEAN CRISIS.

A Pera dispatch of the 26th says
The terms of peace are not yet signed. Gen
eral Gourko, with 10000 men, is marching
to San Stefano. Russian officers and SOL
diers are forbidden, under penalty Of death,
to enter Constantinople without special per-
mission from Russian headquarters. Bar
racks just outside of Constantinople are be-
ing prepared for Russian sick who can find
no other cover.
London reports of the 9th had a
more warlike aspect. Lord Napier of Mag
dala, Governor of Gibraltar, arrived and had
long conference with the Duke of Cam
bridge, Commander in Chief Of the forces.
The afternoon papers announced prominent
ly that it had been decided to employ Lord
Napier as Commander-in-C Chief of any
expeditionary force that may be
sent ont in case Of war, with
Major General Wolseley as Chief Of Staff.
The Standard, in its leading article, says:
GAIL that is really implied by the selection
of Lord Napier of Magdala as Commander
in Chief, and Sir Garnet Wolseley as his
Chief of Staff, is that the terms of peace, if
unmodified, can not be sanctioned by En-
gland. We have been brought face to face
with war by the arrogant and aggressive
conduct of Russia"
A Berlin dispatch reports Germany is
preparing to send eight iron-clads to the
Mediterranean in the event of war. A Wen
ma dispatch says that the Government has
asked for credit Of GO, 0O0, 900 forms. There
was considerable opposition to the pro-
posal.
1t was reported on the 1st that the
Porte was fully prepared to sign the treaty
Of peace, with the exception of the clause
providing for the surrender to Russia of the
IRON clads. Hence the delay. A telegram
from the Turkish Minister of War orders
the Governor of the Dardanelles to prevent
any more men-of-war, whether British,
French or Austrian, from entering the Sea
of Marmora.
Although the precise terms of the
treaty of peace will not be made public un-
til after the treaty has been submitted to and
ratified by the Emperor, the following pro-
visions are reported as reliable: The cash
indemnity is reduced to S60OO0,000,
and Russia abandons her claims to the Egyp-
tian and Bulgarian tributes. The cesson Of
the Turkish fleet is also relinquished. Kars
and Batoum are both coded to Rus
STA, together with Ardahan and the
entire district Of Bayazid. The ques-
ton of the straits is reserved for
further consideration. The question of
navigation remains in statu quo. A zone
will be left between Montenegro and Servia,
so as to enable the Porte to maintain COM
munication with Bosnia and Herzegovina.
1t is confirmed that Bulgaria will include
Bourgas, Varna and Kustendge, but not
Salonica or Adrianople. Russia is to have
power to cede the Dobrudsha to Roumania
in exchange for Roumanian Bessarabia.

England as q Military Power.

10 "
Major-General Sir Garnet Wolseley
contributes to the Century 3 significant
article, entitled "England as a Military
Power" The following are his conclu-
sions:
cat no former period has England
been so strong in a military sense.
Were war to be declared 100000 drilled
men would fall into line, supported by
372 field guns, manned and horsed by
royal artillery. That number would be
roughly made up as follows: Standing
army at home, $4,000 men; army and
militia reserve, 10000; militia, $4,000;
volunteers, 100000, and second-class
army reserve, 10000; total, 414,0OO. In
this calculation have put the figures
very low, and have left out altogether
the 10000 yeomanry, who would be liza
BILE for home service. have not taken
into consideration the number of regu-
lar troops that would be available for
war when the Mediterranean garrisons
were relieved by the militia. Thus it
will be seen that we could at once take
the field with two full armies of more
than $4,000 soldiers each, leaving a
similar force of the regular force at
home for reserve. When l compare the
military strength of England now with
what it was in 1854 I am as amazed at
the condition of the military weakness
and helplessness in which we were when
we began the Russian war of that year,
as am at the ignorance of those who
are now croaking over our supposed
want of strength and alleged consequent
inability to fight"

HIndOO Weddings.

Among the Hindoos early marriages
are the rule. By the time boy of good
family has reached the age OF fourteen
or fifteen, wife has been selected for
him, usually girl year or two younger
than himself. Very possibly he has
never seen her until the marriage cere-
mony is about to be performed. At the
wedding both families lay themselves
out to make the utmost possible display.
Relatives, friends and guests are gath
cred in the house of the brides father.
Glad in her richest attire, the girl kneels
on slight platform covered with rich
tissue, the boy sitting cross-legged op-
posite her. The brides father raises
her hand over vase filed with the holy
water of the Ganges. and places her
hand in that of the bridegroom, who
puts the ring on her finger, amid the
prayers of the Brahmins. This is the
essential part of the ceremony, which
makes them husband and wife. The
genealogy of the husband is then FORM
ally read, and the stipulated dowry is
paid over to him. After this, the fes.
tivities begin, and are kept up for sew
eral days.

A Wonderful Tree,

A tree we'll deserving cultivation,
which exists in Morocco, is mentioned
with favorable comment by Consul
Drummond Hay in his trade report on
Mogador for the past year. This re-
markable tree is the "argan." 1t grows
only in the provinces of Haka Shiedma
and SooZ, and in times of scarcity affords
nourishment both for the natives and
their focks. 1t is utilized in the follow
ing ways: In the first place, the peas
ants extract an oil from the nut, which
is useful both for burning and cooking
purposes. When the nuts ripen and
fall off the trees they are collected by
the natives, who are aided in the harvest
by their goats. These animals swallow
the fruit for the lind, but being unable
to digest the nut, they throw it up
again, and it is then added by their own
ers to the store for making the oil. For
their private consumption the peasants
rarely make large quantity of oil at
time, but crack open few handfuls of
nuts with stone, and, after toasting the
kernels in an earthenware dish, grind
them into -four. The oil is extracted by
adding water in small quantities to the
flour, which is stirred in bowl. As the
oil is being formed by this process, the
-four hardens into cake, which is finally
squeezed, leaving the oil perfectly clear
and fit for use. This kind of oilcake
then serves as an excellent food for cat
tie, as also the dry rind of the nut,
which is generally given to them with
the cake, forming together their princi-
pal and most nutritious food during the
year, and is invaluable to the natives in
time of drought; for the argan tree is
very hardy, and dry year has little if
any effect upon it. Even the empty
husk of the nut when broken is not
thrown away by the peasants, but is
used as fuel. The best charcoal is made
from the argan tree, and the dry timber
is excellent firewood. The goats feed
also upon the leaves of the tree, and
when browsing in the argan forest may
be seen climbing among the trees, pluck
ing and nibbling the nuts and leaves.

CuriOsities of Grating.

In 1866 Mr.. Carillet, of Vincennes,
France, took two young pear trees, each
of which was worked on tho ounce
stock, and one of these, the Beurre de
Aremberg, was made to serve as the
stock, while the other, the Buerre de
Charneu, was grated upon it in an
inverted position, having it roots fully
exposed to the open air. The operation
was performed in April, and during the
summer the stock grew vigorously and
bore two fruits, while the scion tree
threw out buds and shoots from the
ounce stock. Two add to the COM
plexity of the experiment, NJ. Carillet
grated four pear scions on the principal
roots of the ounce, and two of these
succeeded. The sap thus passed from
ounce roots through Beurre de Arem.

Rhyme and Repartee.

Several years ago the reverend and
venerable DIR. Jeter, of Virginia, was
holding a Wednesday night service, and
a very slim audience was present. After
lecturing for half an hour, he gave out a
hymn to close the exercises. No one
belonging to his own denomination be-
ing present to raise the tune, he called
ON a Methodist brother present of the
name of Moon. He said:
"Brother Moon,
Will you raise the tune?"
But brother Moon had no hymn book,
and was unacquainted with the spiritual
songs of the Baptist church, therefore
he replied. extemporaneously
"Brother Jeter,
What's the meter?"
The laugh that followed was long and
loud, and DIR. Jeter, without singing the
hymn, said "Let us unite in prayer.
