A Holy Tree.

Count Bella Szechenyi, noted for his lion
Staying exploits in Africa, gives an interesting
account of the holy tree, alleged TO nave

Buesis, the great reformer of Buddhism,
some five centuries ego. This wonder-work-
ing tree, white fowered syringa, still flour

at Kumbum. 1t is surrounded by barriers OF
wood and stone to protect it from the touch
of the many pilgrims who visit it annually,
and Is the source of handsome income to
the sacred Lamas, who collect the leaves,
blossoms and dead twigs falling from it, and
grind them up into powder, which they. sell
as universal medicine at enormous prices.
They informed Count Szechenyi that the last
myracle was performed by the tree just ten
wears ago, when wealthy mandarin, So

The worthy Lamas parted with this mlracu-
lous leaf for consideration that left the
mandarin's purse in much emaciated con-
dition. Count Szechenyi, apprehending that
possibly he might be tempted to eXtravagant
outlay by recurrence of this expensive MIR

when the guardians of the tree were still

Irish. A merican Republicans.

The following is paragraph from a call
issued for a convention of rish-American
Republicans at indianapolis, on the 18th of
July, to ratify the nomination of Garfield
and Arthur, which is signed by representa-
tives of 25 States and Territories
The Republican party, in all its great
achievements, never advocated principle or
enacted statute in any way at variance with
single doctrine of that patriotic faith which
has upheld the people of Ireland during their
long and determined struggle for national au-
tonomy. 1t mas abolished slavery. amended the
Constitution so that citizens shall stand equal
before the law. 1t has advocated and given
protection to American industry, to the dis
com6ture of the avarice of the British capital
lists, and, in defiance of persistent opposition
from the English and other European Gov
ernments, has compelled a recognition of her
amendments to the naturalization laws, so
that natives and foreign-born citizens shall
enjoy equal protection when beyond the limits
of the United States and they shall declare
that in General Garfield are united all the
great qualities necessary to make wise, sa-
gacious and patriotic ruler. Sprung from the
ranks of the laboring classes, he has ever
been a steady advocate of protection to
American industry and the dignity of honest
toll, and has never failed to sympathize with
them in every effort they have made for
their advancement and elevation.

a Pleasing Incident.

One accident of the visit of Princess Louise
20 Chicago was not printed in any of the
papers there. It was said on Monday that
Her Royal Highness went shopping, and
while in a jewelry store her identity was
known to several ladies, one of whom-a
Massachusetts lady who spent last winter in
Louisyillc-walked over and said TO the
Princess
There is a lady present who was born
within the dominion Of your mother, and she
would like TO speak to you. :"
The Princess asked TO be shown which one
of the company it was, and on being told sne s1
went over and, putting out her royal little
hand, said she was glad to see her.
The lady thus SO kindly met by one sup. 2.
posed to be stiff and unapproachable telt
somewhat overcome, but slowly entered into
conversation. Nothing of special interest
was said; there was the usual inquiry about
children, and so on, but the Princess remark
ed as she turned to leave:

from your own country so long

A Determined Woman.

Mrs. DRus1LLA LAHA, of Wellfeet, Mass,
is a woman for American women to be proud
of. When she was at the age of twenty-four
years, and the mother of two boys, her hus-
band was brought home disabled for life,
having been rescued from the wreck of his
vessel after days of terrible. sufferings. I'm
dismayed, she started small shop, gradually
increasing her stock, until she sometimes took
one hundred dollars day over the counter,
and making. for fifty-nlne years, all her trips
to Boston for the purchase of goods, in sail
boat. During all this time she took care of
her sick husband, who could do nothing at
all for himself, educated her sons and started
them in life, and adopted, brought up. and
placed in good situations twenty orphan boys
and girls beside. Her spare moments she
spent in visiting the sick by day and watch
ing with them by night. and now, in her
ninety-third year, she looks back on life
that few can rival

Why the Needle Points TO the North.

Why the magnetic needle points to the north
is thus explained by Prof Il. G. Patterson Of
the Uuited States coast survey "The earth is
itself magnet, and attracts the needle just as
ordinary magnets do, and it is found to be af
fected by the action of the sun in a manner
not yet fully understood. The magnetic poles
of the earth are not in line with the geograph-
ical poles, but make an angle with them of
nearly 90 degrees. At the present the north
ern magnetic pole is near the arctic circle, on
the meridian of Omaha, and, from the nature
of the case, the pole may be better described
as region rather than fixed point. The
needle does not everywhere point to the true
astronomical north, but varies with certain
limits. At San Francisco'it points II degrees
east of north, and at Calais, Me-. as much to
the west. At the northern magnetic pole
balanced needle points with its north end
downward in plumb line; at San Francisco
it dips about So degrees. and at the southern
magnetic pole the south end points directly
down. The action of the earth upon a mag
netic needle at its surface is of about the
same force as that of a hard steele magnet
forty inches long, strongly magnetized at
distance of one foot. 1t is very proable that
a study of dynamo-electric machines, now
so much used in electric illumination, will
soon reveal some far-reaching truths regard
ing magnetism in general"

The DynOgrap Car.

The dynogrAph car, which the Boston Il
Albany Railroad Company are testing on
their road, accomplishes the recording OF the
motive power used in drawing train by the
transmission of the force impaired by the
cars draw.bar to piston working in a cylin-
der filled with oil to pen which draws a
diagram of the trains resistance on roll of

lines of the track, the water used and each
shovelful of coal put on the engine fire,
every escapement of black smoke from the
chimney, and the tale of the thermometer on
the top of the car. The car is to be used to
determine the relative difference between the
various kinds of joints and ballast commonly
used on railroads-a question which has been
prominently before the general managers of
late, and when once settled will be the means
of saving large sums of money to the corpo-
rations, and bringing about better road-beds.

coloring was done by putting the stem OF one
into green ink and the other into red ink; Al,
though the leaves were beautifully coloreo
the coloring would not rub off. but it seemed
as if nature had done the work. 1t required
ten minutes to change the color.
