THERE is no doubt but that the people
of the Pacific States want Chinese immi-
grafton stopped. In voicing this senti-
ment, the San Francisco Bulletin says :
The veto is unique document among our
State papers. 1t reserves all its tenderness for
tho Six Chinese companies, and slaps in the
face, so to speak, three sovereign States Of the
Union. 1t upholds slavery after bloody war
waged to destroy it, and puts the " lobby "
above the American Congress.

Your books say that cats are "noc-
turnal in their habits" and this state
ment will not hurt you, for it is true. 1t
means that cats wish to take their recre-
alton when people wish to sleep. This
difference of taste accounts for the guer-
rilla warfare which is waged against
them night after night and year after
year from all the back windows in town.
IT also accounts for the curious things
which YOU sometimes find in the back
yard in the morning and which the cook
tells you are meteorites. Nothing has
been devised that kills cats, and weap-
ons are limited to such hand projectiles
as inspire respect or terror. The old
stone throwing machines OF the Greeks
and Romans were originally devised for
this kind of combat, and were hence
called catapults. Every adult cat has
had more costly articles thrown at
it than any opera singer that ever lived ;
for, when mans state of mind becomes
such that he gets out of bed to serve his
country in this cause, the first article he
touches is the thing that goes, whether
it be coal scuttle, an ivory-backed
hair-brush or diamond bracelet. Man
has the right of this conflict, and he will
surely win if he lives long enough

HINDoo girls, says the st. James Ga
eette are taught to think OF marriage
almost as soon at they can talk indeed,
thew are often contracted in marriage at
6 years of age, and 60 to live with their
husbands at ~ or 10. Before this, at the
age of 5 they are taught to prop,lttlate
the gods in order to secure good nus,
band, and their little minds are distracted
by the idea of what model HUSBAND
ought to be. The orthodox conception
is husband like the god silva, who was
holy, austere, advanced in years, and
faithful and devoted to one wife, the
goddess Doorga. Good little girls revolt
at the idea of husband marrying q
second wife while the first is alive, and
will consequently confess their aAxlety
to marry faithful spouse like silva ; and
they learn from their elders to utter the {,
most vindictive curses against q rival
wife. But for all that, Kirshna Is

Trees and Rainfall.

1t il universally acknowledged by all
scientific observers that the rainfall of
a country diminishes rapidly as its for
ests are cut down. In Australia there
seems to be an exception to this rule.
In New South Wales, according to tho
Journals and Proceedings OF the Royal
Society there, about one-half of the tim.
Der land of the colony has, during tho
last twenty-five years, been denuded OF
trees by natural decay, ring barking and
clearing for cultivation. Naturally n
diminution of the rainfall might have
been expected, but this has certainly
not been the case; indeed, statistics
rather indicate the reverse. The priu-
cipai rivers, too, have not been dimin-
bised in volume of water. The expert
ence of Mr.. Abbott. with ring barking
of trees on his run at Glengarry, seems
especially significant. This operation

he carried out in 1869 and 1870, on most
of the watersheds of three creeks each
about two miles long, draining well-de.
fined valleys shut in by high ridges Of
basalt. For twenty years previously
these creeks were dry watercourses, only
holding water for few days after rain
and ina few places in winter. But soor
after ring-barking they became, and
have continued, permanent streams
with increased flow of water and num-
bcr of springs. The explanation that
Mr.. Abbott offers is that the largo pro
portion of the rainfall, formerly taken
up by the gum-trees and evaporated,
now finds its way to the creeks and riv-
ers. Another question is suggested
