not known in Europe until the middle of
ages, when it was introduced by the in

The term Gotham often applied in mild

The name is not an invention, as is often
thought it is an actual parish of Noting

proverbiaily rustic and stupid that they
gained the ironical title of the Wise Men
of Gotham. Many stories of their dotish-

ties, one of which is that they joined
hands on a certain occasion around
thorn-bush to prevent the escape of
cuckoo. In order to confirm the tale, the
bush-the identical bush-is shown to
tourists in that neighborhood. It ia said
that King John, of Magma Charta lnem-

An Eighteen-lnch Death.

A recent arrival at the Geological So
ciety's garden at Regents Park, deserves
special notice, apart from the fact that it
is the first of its species known to have
been brought to England. It is snake,
called the ec]ais s0ri,a0tG, about foot
and a half long, and of dingy gray.
Yet, although in appearance, neither in
teresting nor formidable, it is the dead
iest of created things. This detestable
little worm, which, looking at it, the
spectator might make bold to say be
could immitate very passably in cork and
putty, is, nevertheless, one of the mira
cles and masterpieces of nature, for it is
death itself, and carries in its tiny head
the secret of destroying life with the
sudden rapidity of lightning and con-
centrated agony of all poisons. The
echis comes to US from India, where it
is tolerably common, being found in
nearly every part of the peninsula, and
feared wherever found as the incarnation
of instant and terrible destruction.
Fortunately, however, for man, it is not
like the cobra and the korait, house
frequnting snake, for it's tiny size would
give it terrible advantage over human
being who live crowded together, as the
natives of India do, in small darkened
rooms, while it's aggressive habits would
make it infinitely more fatal to life than
its dreaded relatives. For this king of
the asps, this modern basilisk, is not
only venomous beyond conception,
but is actively offensive. It does not
turn to escape from man, as the cobra
will, or flash into concealment, like the
korait, but conscious, perhaps of it's
deadliness, deliberately keeps the path
against its human assailant, and putting
its own eighteen inches of length against
its bulk, challenges and provokes the
conflict. A stroke of whip will cut it
in two, or clod of earth disable it; but
such is its malignity that it will invite
attack by every device at its command,
stalking it's own life on the mere chance
of its adversary coming within the little
circle of its power. At most the radius
of this circle is twelve inches, but within
it, at any point, and on the bare hope of
hand or foot trespassing within it's reach,
the echis throws its body into fgure-of-
eight coil, and attracting attention by
rubbing its loops together, which, from
the roughness of the scales thence the
epitlIet c01'inata) makes a rustling, hiss
ing sound, erects it's head and awaits at
tack. No one having once encountered
this terrible worm can ever forget its
truculent aspect when thus aroused. its
eagerly aggressive air. its restless coils.
which, in constant motion, one over the
other, and rustling ominously all the
while, stealthily but surely bringing it
nearer and nearer to the object of its
fury; the eye malignant even beyond
those of other vipers, and then the in
conceivable rapidity of its stroke. For
the echis does not wait to strike until it
is within striking distance, but vents it
malice in repeatedly daring at nothing,
hoping, perhaps, to aggravate its antago-
mist into coming into closer quarters, or,
more probably, as mere expression of
it's own uncomfortable viciousness.-

Broken oaths.

A curious fact in psychology is the ia.
cility with which me take oaths that
they have not the remotest intention of
keeping. and which nobody dreams of
expecting them to observe. Not long
ago Oxford students at their matricula-
tion had to swear to conform to the stat
utes of the university. Among them was
one which absolutely prohibited 'sthe
use of the herb nicotiana, or tobacco
while another enioined on under-gradu-
ates that they should always be appar-
eled in garments of dark, or "sub-fusc7'
hue. In the solemn oath which is ad-
ministered to the Knights of the Garter,
they are reminded that "this garter" is
ssnever to be forgotten or laid aside. .
Even the original Knights. to whom the
institution was something more than we
regard it nowadays, must each and all of
them have repeatedly broken the vow
There are, however, some remarkable in
cidents of sensitiveness on the subject of
obligations which the generality of hon.
orable men regard as of no force what
ever. All Souls College, at Oxford,
was founded by Archbishop Chichele
that the Fellows of the same might pray
for the repose of the souls of those who
fell at Aginconrt; and not long since
there was fellow who regularly paid
for certain masses at the little Catholic
chapel. A Protestant himself, he could
not comply with the letter of the obliga-
tions imposed upon him; buth fulfilled
its spirit. James II, by the way, when
passing through Oxford, reproached the
Fellows for their neglect Of this duty.
How much significance do statesmen of
the school of s.blood and iron" attach to
the first sentence of every treaty between
Christian Princes In the name of the
Most Holy and Indivisible Trinity?" It
is to be feared that treaties are not the
less denounced for these words. Louis
XIV, in renouncing the crown of Spain
for the issue of his daughter-in-law.
swore s.by the canons of the mass, by the
Holy Gospels, and by the Cross of
Christ. This oath he did not scruple to
break few years later, and yet he was a
devout man according to his rights.
Jove was said to laugh at the perjuries of
lovers; bnt these are trihing compared
to those of diplomatists.

The Duration of Christ's Life.

This is now generally confined to 80 or
33 years. The difference of one or two
years arises from the different views on
the length of his public ministry. Christ
died and rose again early in the vigor OF
early manhood, and so continues to live
in the memory of the church. The de-
cline and weakness of old age is incon-
sistent with His position as the Renova-
tor and Savior of mankind. Iren@us,
otherwise las disciple of Polycarp, who
was disciple Of st. John) the most
trustworthy witness of apostolic tradi-
Eons among the fathers, held the unten-
able opinion that Christ attained to th1
ripe age of 40 or so years, and taught
over ten years beginning with the thir-
teenth) and that he thus passed through
all the stages of human life, to save and
sanctify "old men," as we'll as tinfants
and children and boys and youths" He
appeals for this view of tradition dating
from st. John, and supports it by an un-
warranted inference from the loose con-
lecture of the Jews when, surprised at
the claim of Jesus to have existed before
Abraham was bonn, they asked Him /:
Thou art not yet 30 years old, and hast
thou seen Abraham?" A similar infer
ence from another passage where the
Jews speak of the ss46 years" since the
temple of Herod began to be recon-
structed, while Christ spoke of the
temple, his body John ii. : 20) is, of

Watch Young Orchards.

not speak OF old trees, where large
branches have been removed two, three,
or more inches from the trunk, left to
decay, never to heal over, but sure to
leave rotted center into the heart of the
tree. have scores of such o.d trees.
The branches of young trees should be
removed with a smooth cut, without a
bruise, close to the trunk or branch from
which they are taken, SO as to leave no
room for dozen little branches to start
out from the stump of the branch cut off.
More than half the labor of after-pruning
is saved by removing with care and as
closely as possible the small branches of
young trees as fast as they put out i'll the
spring or early summer. These may be
rubbed off by the hand, where the prun-
ing is close, when two or three inches
long, and all the strength of the tree
that would be wasted on them turned to
the growth Of valuable branches. Care
in watching these little gourmands will
not hasten the growth of the tree, but
the production of fruit in peaches one
year, and in apples two or three years.
One should go over young orchard
once in May and once in June. The tree
is easily formed when young. Avoid
dividing the tree into two branches SO as
to form crotch when the head begins to
form. When bearing freely, such trees
are apt to split apart. Better have the
head formed by several branches starting
out from q main trunk stem two or three
inches apart. Keep the center open and
shaped somewhat like an open umbrella
frame inverted. As the tree advances in
growth rub off the inside shoots that
point toward each other, and which, If
extended, would either cross each other
or fill up the space that should be open
in the middle of the tree for the admis-
sion of air and the rays of the sun. Ev-
cry young orchard that is worth planting
is worth Watching and manuring freely,
with as good cultivation as is required
for corn or potatoes. Ohio Farmer.
DIsINFECTANTs.- the warm weather
appears disinfectants will be needed.
Lime, plaster, charcoal, dry earth, and
sifted ashes have value, chiefly to be
tested by the rapidity with which they
correct odors. Fresh-slaked lime should
be scattered in all places of foul odor. It
or charcoal or plaster may be scattered
over heaps emitting foul odors. Calx
powder is made by pounding one bushel
of dry fresh charcoal and two bushels of
stone lime and mixing them, and is of
great practical use. All these substances
absorb foul gases and dry up moisture,
and SO help to retard decomposition or
else absorb its results. Who're lump
charcoal is used, it may be refitted for
use by reheating it. Quicklime and
ground plaster should not be used where
they may be washed into pipes and form
lime-soap or obstruct by hardening.
