A Curious but Pleasing Custom.

There is a custom prevailing among
the inhabitants of the Sandman Islands,
which may throw light upon the civil
lied use of wedding cake. When a ma
tive girl whose exceptional beauty has
brought her many suitors is knocked
down and carried off by her accepted
sUitor, the wedding pair, within forty
eight hours Of the wedding, send a cup
of poison distilled from the hulahula
tree to each one of the brides former adj
mirers. If any recipient feels that he
cannot become reconciled to the mar
riage, he drinks the. poison and dies; but
if he declares that he will survive the loss
of his intended wife, he throws away the
poison and feels bound i'll honor never to
show the slightest sign of disappolnt-
ment. By this admirable system the
husband is spared the pangs of jealousy,
and is able to live on friendly terms with
the surviving admirers of his wife.

ment, you will take them to Colonel Bird
with my compliments.
"On my honor as a rebel, replied the
soldier, again bowling low, and carrying
off Cary's bright flowers.

The next two weeks witnessed many
rapid march and countermarch, and
Lauderdale held its breath while the
dust of its streets blew first upon gray
coats and then upon blue.
Meantime our ravisher of the loses
had gotten safely back to his own place
and his own coat, and early in July en-
tered the little mountain town with
Hunters army.
The gala look it had worn two weeks
before was gone, and a sullen expression
marked its cOuntenance. No women
were to be seen, boys were kept careful
| " in doors by anxious mothers, and the
old men had sudden access of feeble
ness, leaning ON canes and haltlng IN
their gait, in a way very comical to one
who remembered their alertness two
weeks before.
Two hours after his arrival our quon-
dam Mississippi man rang Mrs. Brook
door-bell, and was answered by that
matron herself. with an air of diguitied
defiance. After great deal of trouble
inpersuading her to allow him to see her
daughter for moment only, and in her
presence, Cary was summoned. Again
the soldier bowed low before her, this
time removing a blue cap instead of the
old sIouch, and returned her withered
but carefully-preserved roses.

There came a time when it was Colo
mel Birds luck to reach Lauderdale with
his Mississippi regiment. The Greville
roses had faded, and Cary could only
find October leaves with which to crown
her radiance. Colonel Bird was more
than satisfied with the result; he claimed
a kiss for every smile or favor given to
others during his long absence, and this
brought out the story of the Greville
roses and the so-called Mississippi SOL
der.

In Judgment.

The late Gen. Chanzy was once ap-
piled to by gentleman for assistance in
discovering the whereabouts of his son,
who had disappeared after the battle of
LIE Mans. Chanzy at once remembered
that this young man and several others
had been by his orders shot for running
away at the moment of battle and calling
out to their comrades: "NOus sommes
traits ~ When this recollection flashed
across the General, he hesitated for
moment whether he should say that he
did not know what had been the fate of
the young man, or tell the unhappy
father the whole story. But the hesita-
ton was only momentary, and he told
him what had taken place. The father,
though as pale as d, ath, preserved his
sang-froid and observed that, whatever
his paternal feelings might be, he could
not but feel that General Chanzy had
done his duty. General Chanzy often
referred to this as being the most terrible
ordeal through which he had ever passed,
and said that the figure of this unhappy
father, sitting in judgment, as it We're,
upon his son, like another Brutus, had
haunted him day and night for weeks
afterward.

Tree Planting.

The subject of tree-planting is now
being pressed upon the settlers of West
ern Minnesota and Dakota. Belts of
timber have been substituted for pine
fences as windbreaks along the exposed
portion of the line of the st. Paul, Mime
apolis and Manitoba Railway, and it is
said that the Northern Pacific Road is
also about to test the efficiency of live
fences to protect its track on the prairie
from snow-drifts. A pine fence, such as
the Western railroads have been using,
costs about $500 a mile The fence, to
serve its purpose, must be at least eight
feet high, and even such a one, stoutly
built and with oak posts, is not a suf-
ticient barrier against the drifts in q
winter so severe as the present More
over, the boards are frequently stolen
and the strongest posts are liable to
snap like twigs under the force of
prairie wind-stOrm. Mr.. Leonard
Hodges, who superintendent the tree
planting along the st. Paul and Manito-
ba Road, and is also to have charge of
the same work on the Northern Pacific,
advises the planting of two parallel belts
of young timber on the northern side of
the tracks and one belt on the southern
side. The white willow he has found to
to he the cheapest and hardest tree for
he purpose. A fence of this willow will
grow to an average height of twelve feet
III four years from the time of planting
the cuttings. The soil, however, has to
be prepared for planting and narrowing,
and sometimes the prairie soil is 50 bad
that two or three years must be spent in
preparing it, but the result is thought to
be worth the labor. Other hardy trees
recommended for the purpose above
mentioned are the bOx-elder, the cotton
wood and the green ash. But not only
the railroad companies, but the settlers
themselves, are awakening to the neces-
sity of tree-planting. There is a good
foundation III the theory that the plant
ing of forest trees on the prairies of the
Northwest will do much to lessen the
rigOr of the climate in that neighborhood
The cold, fierce winds that sweep down
from British Columbia in winter would
have their force broken if they en-
countered extensive forests, and there
would be less suffering from periodical
midsummer droughts if there were trees
to condense the moisture in the atmos-
phere. The recent formation of forestry
clubs, and the active interest in the sub
ject which appears to be taken among the
n orth western settlers, are more decided
indications that the trecless regions are
in time to he planted with forests, than
the enactment of a hundred laws to ac-
complish that end by State Legislatures.
Meanwhile the prairie soil must be en-
riched and the trees given time to grow,
and the ruthless work of the woodman's
Ak must be kept within reasonable
bounds in the existing forests East and
West.

Saved by Oil.

Twice within a week, says a New
York paper, we have had reports of the
saving of vessels from laundering at sea
by the towing of bags of oil astern. The
first case was that of the British schooner
Rare Plant, and the second that of the
steamer StanmOre, which reached this
port recently. The Captain of the Stan
more says that when in the middle of his
voyage from Queenstown, he encountered
gale, against which his ship could make
no Roadway.
When he attempted to run before the
wind the waves, breaking over the
steamer, threatened to submerge her. He
then towed a canvas bag containing
about two gallons of oil astern,
and, as he believes, thus saved
the ship. The oil rising slowly to
the surface prevented the waves
from breaking. This method of smooth
ing the waves is not new. It's effective
ness has often been shown, and, as a
matter of precaution, every vessel should
be prepared to employ this expedient in
an emergency,

WHY NOT SAVE MOTHER ?


The farmer sat in his easy chair
Between the fire and the lamplght's glare,
His face was rudy and full and fair,
HIS three small boys in the chimney nook
COINED the lines of a picture-book;
His wife, the pride of his home and heart,
Baked the biscuit and made the tart.
Laid the table and stepped the tea
Deity, swiftly, silently;
Tired and weary, weak and faint,
She bore her trials without complaint,
Like many another household saint
Content all selfish bliss above
In the patient ministry Of love.
At last. between the clouds of smoke
That wreathed his lips, the farmer spoke;
There's taxes to raise and inter st to pay,
And if there should come a rainy day
'Twould be mighty handy, I'm bound to say,
T. have something put by. For folks must die;
An there's funeral bills, and grave-stones to
buy
Enough to swamp man, purity nigh;
Besides there's Edward an Dick an Joe
To be provided for when we go.
So, If 1 were you, I'll tell you what I'd du;
I'd be savin' of wood as ever 1 could
Extra fires don't do any good;
I'd be savin' of soap, an savin' Of lie,
And run up some candles once in a while;
I'd rather be sparin' Of coffee and tea,
For sugar Is high,
An all To buy
And cider is good enough drink for me;
I'd be kind o careful about my clo'es
And look out sharp how the money goes
GewSaEs Is useless. mater knows;
Extra trimmin'
S the bane of women.
I'd sell the best of my cheese an honey,
An eggs is as good nigh bout, as tn money;
An as tn the carpet you wanted new

And as for I'll washer an SEWN -machine,
Them smooth-tongucd agents, so pesky mean
You'd better get rid of EN- slick an clean.
What do they know bout wOmens work,
Do they calkilate women was made to shirk? ?"
Dick and Edward and little Joe
Sat in the corner in a row.
They saw the patient mother go
On ceaseless errands to and fro;
They saw that her form was bent and thin,
Her temples gray, her cheeks sunk in;
They saw the culver of lip and chin
And then, with wrath he could not smoother,
Outspoke the youngest, frailest brother:
''You talk of savin' wood an lie
An tea an sugar all the while,
But you never talk of savin' mOtherr
