Trees in Cities.

An interesting paper has been recent ly read by Dr. Phene at Edinburgh on the benefits to be derived from planting trees in cities. Among the beneficial re- suits to be attained are, he stated the re- lief to the optic nerve through the eye resting on objects of green color. Just that which is effected by the use ofgreen or blue glasses in strengthening and sus- taining the power sight, is attained, or, at any rate, much aided, by the presence of green in nature; and in streets the only method to procure this result is by planting trees. It was pointed out by the author that wherever opportunity exists nature provides green and blue the latter being the same color minus the presence of yellow,) and that as ab- scence of color produces snow blindness, and in tropical calms, where the ocean presents only white reflected light from a uniform glassy surface, reduced optical power soon follows long con tinuance of the absence of blue color, which becomes immediately apparent on motion of the waves.
 So in the streets, to the occupants of houses having northern aspect, the glare of the reflected light is injurious; Dut tiC CHcNt Wouli bC uitt'ii ihobihSd by the coolness, to the eye produced by the green of trees. In ancient surgery, persons having weak or declining sight were advised to look at the emerald. In the old style building, the streets being narrow, were both cooler, from the sun not being able to penetrate them with direct rays, and less subject to noxous exhalations, from the securing and purifying effects of the searching air to which the narrow streets were subject, so that while there was no space for trees there was also less necessity. Wide streets, on the contrary, are hotter, and require the shade of trees to cool them, and, as in the case of London, which had so far done without trees i'll it's streets, it was pointed out thatn only are modern streets compulsory wide, but that the enormous increase. in metropolitan build ings renders every sanitary question one of importance; and the chemical proper ties of trees are shown by experiment give them an important standing, ire spective of ornament or the pleasure they produce. Some of Dr. Phene's experiments on this subject Lave OK tended over period of thirty years, and he it was who first tEied the planting of trees in the streets of London. Since the reading of former paper by him at Manchester, wherein the importance of the subject was pointed out, a number of streets in wealthy localities have been planted. and even Trafalgar Square in the heart of the metropolis,

cut from the round, with little fat, or q brisket piece; the latter should have the bones removed and be rolled and tied securely the meat will not be harmed by washing 1t in clean, cold water. Let twenty minutes be allowed for every pound of meat; put 1t over the fire in cold water, let 1t gradually
 reach the boiling point, and boil 1t slowly The scum which rises to the surface of the pot liquor should be skinned of, and the meat simmered slowly. If the water is changed as soon as it boils, vegetables may be cooked with the meat, time being allowed ac- cording to the season of the year. In the early fall, when they are freshly gather ed and are full of their natural juices, l they will cook in half the time that they require in the late winter or spring, when much of their moisture has been lost by evaporation. If the meat is to be used cold, it will be juicy if allowed to cool in the pot liquor. If the brisket is pressed between two boards or platters, under heavy weight, until cool, it will afford nice, compact slices when cut, and is good for luncheon or supper.
 BROWN SrKw.-Take three pounds of good round of beef cut it in small squares, brown them in stewpan in two tablespoonfuls of butter; add two table spoonfuls of four, sitting it gradually in and stirring till the four is brown; cut carrot small, peel half dozen small onions and put with the beef; season with half dozen cloves, as many all spice, a half saltspoonful of black pepper, pinch of cayenne, tablespoonful of mixed herbs, thyme, sage and maioram; cover with boiling water and let it sim mer steadily for three hours; just before serving, a gill of tomato catchup can be added, or if preferred, glass of sherry.
 POTATOES FOR BREAKFAsT.-This is the most delicious way of preparing potatoes for breakfast: Slice the potatoes mod erately thin. Put into pudding dish layer of potatoes, sprinkle with very little salt, cut up butter into little bits and lay them over the potatoes, then another layer of potatoes with salt and the bits of butter, repeating the process until the dish is filed. Now fill the dish 1 with water, place in the oven, covering the dish with a pan until the potatoes are al most done; then remove the cover and let the potatoes brown on top. Serve in the pudding dish.
 BAKED SouP FOR INvALrDs.-I find this l receipt of use to invalids. It Is easy to | make and cooks cannot well blunder. Take pound of juicy steak, from which | all the fat has been removed; cut it up in pieces of about an inch square, salt and pepper it slightly; take stone jar to hold two pints; pour into it pint and half of cold water, teaspoonful of whole rice; cover the jar with a saul cer, and let it bake slowly for four hours; remove any fat present.

DELIRIOuS HORSES.
A Strange Disease That Paraiyzss the
 Equine Legs and Brain.

Equhe Legs ana brAfH.
 N. I. Times.
 A disease, which has been termed cere- brospinal meningitis has, within the past two weeks, broken out among the aa,,rsese; in this city. It has not been confined to any particular locality, but has appeared in horse railroad stables, private and livery stables, in various parts of the city. The disease was first noticed in this country ten years ago, when 1t spread to an alarming extent, attacking thousands of horses. Most of those that were at attacked but not killed by it, never re- covered their former strength. Veterin- ary surgeons and stable keepers have been unable to agree as to the causes of, or the remedies for, this disease, but nearly all say that meningitis has broken out in a more or less violent form every spring since 1871. Some at tribute the disease to the severity of the weather, and the filthy streets; others, to the great strain to which horses were subiectedin drawing heavy loads through the snow, and in starting heavily laden trucks and cars on the slippery streets, and others to the fact that many horses were kept indoors for long time during the extreme cold weather, and then, as soon as thaw set in, taken out and over-driven. Still others are of opinion that it is caused by feeding horses on corn.

Dust and Fog.

Mir. John Aitken recently read paper before the Royal Society of Edinburgh on the origin of fogs, mists, and clouds. From a great number of experiments with moist air at different temperatures, to determine the conditions which pro- duce condensation of water vapor, he concludes that whenever water vapor descends in the atmosphere, it always does so on some solid nucleus; that dust particles in the air from the nuclei on which the vapor condenses; that if there were no dust there would be no fogs, no clouds, no mists, and probably no rain; and that the supersaturated air would convert every object on the surface of the earth into a condenser on which it would deposit as dew; lastly, that our breath, when it becomes visible on frosty morning, and every puff of steam, as 1t escapes into the air from an engine, show the impure and dusty state of the atmosphere. These results have been verified at temperature, as low as 14' Fah., at which, however, there was little cloudiness produced, owing to the small amount of vapor in air so cold. The sources of this dust are many and vari- ous; for instance, finely ground stone from the surface of the earth, the ash of exploded meteorites, and living germs Mir. Aitken showed experimentally that, by simply heating any substance, such as piece of glass, iron or wood, fume of solid particles was given of, which, when carried along with pure air into a receiver, gave rise to dense fog. mixed with steam. So delicate is this test, that the hundredth of grain of iron wire will, when heated, produce distinct haziness in the receiver. By far the most active source of these fog producing particles is, however, the smoke and sul- phur given off by our coal fires; and as even gas grates will not prevent the emission of these particles, Mr. Aitken thinks it is hopeless to expect that Lon don, and other large cities wherein such fuel is used can ever be free from fogs. However, inasmuch as more perfect com- bustion will prevent the discharge of soot flakes, these fogs may be rendered winter, purer, and therefore more whole some, by the use of gas grates, such as that recommended by Dr. Semens. Mir Aiken also drew attention to the deo- dorizeing and antiseptic powers of smoke and sulphur which, he thinks, probably operate bene6cially in killing the deadly germs and dlsinfecting the foul smells which cling about the stagnant air of fogs, and suggests caution lest, by sup pressing smoke, we substitute greater evil for a lesser one.

A Frozen Rattlesnake in Georgia
Americus Republican.

A gentleman from the country recent ly said that he was digging hole in which to place post when he unearthed snake that was frozen hard. He struck it with the flat of spade, and it sounded like rock. He said that he had often heard that snakes would thaw if frozen. and he put this one in warm place near the fire. In about half an hour the reptile showed symptoms of life, and be- gan to look around and move about He then killed the snake to make sure that history should not repeat itself, and to prevent it from biting the one who had warmed it back to life.
