without which no Chinaman may
hope for honor in this life or saliva
ton in the next. The numerous
customers who keep the pawn-shops
crowded with pledges are probably
most of them victims of the gamO-
ling table or the opium habit. They
come from every house that EN-
/ ploys them your domestic is impa-
tient of all delays and hastens
through his work in order that he
may indulge his darling sin. Follow

| pIav-house or the clubhouse, the
gambling-hell, the opium-den, or
the window of her whose paint and
tinsel dazzle and confound him.
You may have observed that he
/ seldom stops within doors when il
is not absolutely necessary for him
to do so. You pay him a small
wage and congratulate yourself upon
J obtaining help at so reasonable
figure. His nightly diversions must

to the character Of the injuries he received at their

Connors spoke in the same STRAIN. He and hts
pal had been drinking deeply, he said and all that
happened that afternoon was vague and indstinct.
He did not remember the assault the pistol shots
at all. Captain Clinchy, who brought the prisoners
to court. said that Sergeant Fanniug's hurts pre-
vented his attendance. On this the magistrate com.

We have several works upon the Huguenot move

The Influence Of Trees on Health.

The. value of trees from a sanitary
point ofyiew, in large and overcrowded
cities, can scarcely be over estimated.
Apart from the sense of relief and cool.
ness which they impart, their value as
purifiers of the atmosphere is almost
incredible. 1t has been calculated that
a good sized elm, plane, or ime-tree.
will produce seven million leaves, hav-
ing a united area of two hundred thous-
and square feet. The influence of such
large surface in the absorption OF dele
FERROUS gases snd the exhalation of OK =
gen, must therefore be of immense ben
eft in overcrowded and unhealthy dis
tricts. In London and all large cities
there exists a great number Of waste
spots in which one or more trees could
be planted to advantage in every way.
In this respect, at all events, they man
age things better in France, and indeed
in most Continental cities, where the
Boulevards are kept cool in summer and
warm in winter, owing to the influence
which trees have in modifying tempera-
ture; in addition, they tend by ABSORB.
ton to purify the soil below as well as
the atmosphere above them. A society
for planting trees in the wide streets and
waste places of the metropolis might &C.
complish as beneficial results as the ex-
cellent institution which supplies drink
ing fountains for the refreshment of man
and beast.

To Preserve Decaying Trees.

Those who may be anxious to pre-
serve old and decaying trees may be
glad to try the following method, which

care may be bestowed upon it, it is inn
possible to make cement adhere to . liv-
ing tree, and before long the water, per-
colstingi along the bark, will find its
way slowly but effectually into the hole,
and pursue its work. The only effective
way OF curing such q disease Is TO make
q plug Of oak or other hard wood, smear
it with tar, and hammer il tight into the
hole until its outer surface is on the
same level g the hole. Hthere Is any
