COUNTRY IND CITY RAIN.

Considerable attention has been re-
Gently given to the difference between
the rain of the city and the country.
The country rain is neutral and is con-
sidered the best adapted for human
consumption of any found above the
earth, on the earth. or under the earth.
The rain that falls in cities, on the other
hand, is acid, corroding metals evil eff
fects are visible on every side,- in paint,
in all decorations, and, in fact, almost
everything erected by man. The pur-
est rain is that collected at the sea coast,
more especially at considerable heights,
while organic matter in the air usually
corresponds with the density OF popu-
lation.

VOLUME s. NUMBER 81
THE UPAS TREE.

No tree has been the subject OF so
many ridiculous fables as the upas, and
till quite lately they were popularly be-
lieved. On the faith of Dutch sur
geon named Foersche, it was related
that the upas flowed from unique and
singular tree, which vegetated in the
midst of frightful solitude in Java,
"the valley of death" According to
this traveller, no living creature could
resist the poisonous vapors which it ex-
hailed, and for three or four leagues
around only dead bodies and skeletons
of men and animals were to be met with.
The birds themselves which ventured
into the surrounding air fell to the
ground rs if struck by lightning. Grim
inals consigned to capital punishment
alone essayed the task of wrestling its in
fernal produce from the tree. Many
tried the perilous journey, but very few
returned from it.
We owe the refutation of this fabulous
narrative to Leschenault, q recent French
traveller. This traveller noticed that the
famous poison is furnished by two spe-
cies of trees which grow amid the forests
of Java. So far from exercising a dele
terious influence upon all that surrounds
them, they are encompassed by luxu-
rious vegetation, while birds, lizards
and insects lend animation to their
boughs and foliage. The learned
Franchman, while examining one of
these trees, which he had cut down, had
his face and hands covered with exuda-
tion flowing from the broken branches,
yet he experienced no bad effects. But
when the upas juice is introduced by
means of puncture, the effect is rapid
ly fatal. Eight drops injected into the
veins of horse will kill it directly.
The story of the "valley of death, "
probably, had its origin in the fact that
there was some locality in this volcanic
country Hher. carbonic-acid gas poured

PERSIAN THEATRICALS.

It is fortunate that theater-goers OF
home do not take to heart the tragedies
that are placed upon the English stage
SO much as the Persians, who, according
to a writer, not only shed tears as the
actors narrate the death of the Prophet,
the martyrdom of Ally, and other Incl
deuts in the history of Mohammedan-
i IN, but howl piteously as they leave
the theater, pull each others hair, and
run knives into themselves with des-
pair. These representations are styled
tearzies," and they take place during
the religious festival of the Moharrum,
being got up by the wealthy people with
the double object of propitiating the
Deity and making display of their rich
tapestries and jewels on the stage.
The representations are held either in
the court yards of their houses, or upon
the public squares, the personages of
importance viewing them from the win
dows of the houses, while the crowd
gathers round the improvised stage,
"camels at rest" Ushers, armed with
heavy wands, go round to maintain Or
der, and lads with pipes to hire, and
water and cakes to sell, drone out
their stock phrases until the story-teller,
followed by six chorister boys, mounts
the stage. His business is to prepare
the audience for the representation by
telling them stories relative to deaths of
the Imaums, and, in order to produce
more powerful effect upon them, he in
terlards his story with frequent groans
and tears, finally throwing down his
turban, tearing open his dress and driv-
ing his nails into bis chest. His des-
pair moves the whole OF the audience to
tears, and he then descends from the
stage with bottle, and, sopping up
their tears with piece of cotton wool,
presses them into it-one of these tears,
in the opinion of the Persians, being
sufficient to save the life of patient
who has been given up by the doctors.
This prologue over, the actors appear,
and the drama begins, with the result
described above.
These, however, are not the only plays
in the Persian repertory. the two other
kinds being "temachas and "kara-
guez," of which the first named are
farces or comedies, full of illusions more
Or less broad, and improvised by the
'' 'Lontys," who are professional dancers
md musicians. These "Lontys" are
often accompanied by dancing girls, and
even by monkeys and bears. and they
CRIME themselves with SCOT and flour.
The "karaguez is very much like our
,wn "Punch and judy" the character
If Punch being taken by KetcheI Peh-
evan, who is invariably represented as
,ald, and whose favorite occupation is
% deceive the Mollahs by pretending to
,iety. After having depicted to the
Iollahs in very glowing terms the
harms of religious life and the pleas
lres reserved to good Mussulmans in
mother world, he begins to sing an
songs until the poor Mollah,
arried away by enthusiasm, throws
lown the Koran and begins to play the
,uitar and drink the fine wine of Chiraz.
