THE EUcALYPrUs TREE.-This tree was
first planted in Algiers as an experiment
tai attempt to prevent malaria. The
plantation was made upon the scientific
hypothesis that this species of sweet gum,
being of very rapid growth and possessed
Of peculiar powers to absorb water from
the soil, would be found efficacious in
consuming the sources of malarious fever.
The idea of employing vegetation to in
tercept and consume the atmospheric
elements of malaria as well as to absorb
the seeds of it from the soil was first put
in practice, we believe, by the late Lieut..
Maury, who, when stationed at the naval
observatory, Washington, planted a screen
of sunhowers to protect his residence
from the exuviae of the adjacent marsh
He reported that his experiment was very
successful, and now we have news from
Algeria and South Italy that the trial of
Che eucalyptnm has resulted fayorably "a
every way. All the fever districts which
were regularly planted with these trees
have been purged of their malaria and
become comparatively salubrious. 8

And asked the roses white and red,
And all the flowers what 1 should say,
To the girls and boys for them to-day;
And this is what the flowers said
The vclvety roses, all aglow
With summer radiance, answered low,
With odorous breath:
In the sunshine of Gods love is best"
The lily shook her incense BELLS
"Ths is the message the lily tells

The white rose dropped her stately head =
IBID them be sweet and fair" she said;
While the day-howers murmured, with hOlf-shut
eyes,
"If they go to bed early, they'll all be wise"
The tiny volets hid in the grass,
Whispered soft, as they heard me pass:
"This is the best way, this is our plan,
To shed all the sweetness We possibly can."
The daisy said, in her brightest way,
Gracefully nodding "happy day:
IF they'd know my secret Of joy untold,
They must carry as l do u heart of gold"

From the trellis high on the garden wall.

FRUIT IN Los ANGELEs.-Los Angeles,
California, is one of the few spots on the
globe where the strict vegetation would
be able to find free pasturage all the year,
and would not need to subsist for dreary
seasons on ammoniated cabbages, boiled
rice, dried apples and stewed prunes.
You can always find fresh fruit in Los
Angeles, and it may be plucked from tree
or vine the whole year round. The
lemon and the fme are in bearing there
the livelong year, and the orange reigns
from Christmas to July. Apples and
pears are on the trees from July until
November, and then may be kept till
spring peaches come in as early as June
Is, and do not disappear until Christmas !;
grapes are in season five months. and so
also are plums and prunes; the guava
ripens nealy all the year; the berry season
begins in May and lasts through Septem-
Der, and DR. Tanner might find melons
for ormonths every season. This is charm
ing spot for invalids likewise, the sun
shining brightly $40 days each year, the
annual mean temperature being 621 de-
grees, and the mean range of maximum
and minimum from 81 to 46 degrees, the
highest recorded temperature 93 degrees,
and the lowest 361 degrees.

II.-The seven Days Before Richmond,
Antietan,, Frederick sburg, Chancel'

During the rest of tho Peninsuar Campaign General
Hancock often engaged the enemy, aud always with
credit and distinction. To recount with equal atten
ton to details one-half the affairs In which he played
conspicuous part would exceed the limits OF news
paper article. While lying on the lines before Rich
mond on the afternoon and evening OF June 81, his
brigade sustained and repulsed at Goldngs Farm an
attack OF the enemy force. Tho closing part OF this
fight showed on General Hancock's part the tactics
which hs practiccd first at Williamsburg, and for
which he became famoustlat OF holding his position
coisy until the critical moment In the attack Of
tho enemy arrived, and then denoralizng him by an
impetuous advance. such counter strokes the best
troops will hardly stand. But 10 be able to make them
successfully the commander must possess the perfect
confidence of his own men. No general can advance
with dishcarened and defeated troops To pos
sess their confidence the general must SHARE their
peril, and be seen 10y them. This WAS one OF Han
cocks secrets. When brigade commander he WAS
always among his men, riding up and down close
behind his line Of battle, encouraging them by voice
and example, not only sharing their danger but ex-
posing himself more than they. and taking more than
his share OF peril. As he rose In rank, and COM
anded larger bodies OF he did not abandon this
practice, and like other oincers high In command
