The White Trillium become rose colored, and
sometimes almost purple, as they fade while
the Purple Trillitan sometimes bears white
flowers
Less snowy than these, but yet very
pretty when fairly seen, Is the PAINTED
TRiLLluM. The leaves and stem Of this plant
often stcm much too large for the flower,
Tut the flower itself is most elegantly
pencilled with rich velyely lines, of beautiful
shade of rose purple. The Painted Trllium

well laid down botanical rules as TO the

those of the TrilIiums. In all other respects
these plants have the characters Of the
endogens, or plants with one seed leaf, like
the lies-and the 1r!lliums belong to the
erca, Lily family-and gras ses and pains,
but the law requires such plants to have
leaves with parallel veins, which law the

In open thickets of Alder, or some such

A cable despatch says that the British
Chancellor of the Exchequer twill consider
during the present year the question of per-
hitting the growing of tobacco in the United
Kingdom" 1t will surprise most people 10
learn that tobacco raising is forbidden in
England, and has been for over two centur-
ies-thc prohibition having been maintained
in later years merely in order to insure the
receipt Of large revenues from imported to-
baccO The first enactment upon the SUBJECT
was made in 1862, and statute of 1860 Or
dered that no tobacco should be planted in
England under penalty of fine of 40 shll-
lings for each rod of ground covered. Petty
magistrates, moreover, were ordered to de-
stroy any growing tobacco that they came
across. A similar prohibition was applied
to Ireland as recently as 1880. The govern
mcnt Is thus enabled to collect lax on every
pound Of tobacco consumed In the United
Kingdom, 1t gets So cents a pound on i'm
ported manufactured tobacco, $l,32 pound
on cigars, ST. on cavcndish or "negro
head" and 5 "a on other manufactured to-
bacco, besides an excise on home manufac-
lures. Imports, however, save of manufac-
lured tobacco, are small. On this article the
government collected last year S42, 500, 900,
or 42l per cent Of all its customs revenue.

Oneida conference. In 1880 he was chosen
principal of the Methodist Seminary at

sing such a tariff bill as the confer
ence committee finally produced,
the Republican party is entitled to
it, since the result has been reached
in the face of active resistance and
passive obstruction by the Demo-
Gratis, who were anxious to reserve
for the next Congress the honor of
satisfying the loud public demand
for revenue reform The BILLS not
as far reaching as the times de-
mand, but it was evidently the best
that could be passed. The only
valuable changes are in the iron,
wool and sugar schedules, the tariff
on steel rails being reduced from
$26 to 81. The internal revenue
clauses of the bill reduced the tax
on manufactured tobacco from Is to
8 cents, and repeal all the stamp,
proprietary and bank taxes. This
reduction, however, does not take
place until May 1st.

Killing Made Easy.

In the time of Napoleon it was esti-
mated that it took six hundred bullets
to be fired in battle before man was
killed; in other words, every dead
soldier represented his own weight in
lead. But the recent improvement in
firearms has added to its efficiency.
The greater range Of the rifle, as we'll
as the rapidity with which it can be
fired, has made it thirty-two times more
effective than the old smooth-bore. lobe
more accurate, amilitary authority says
that the modern rifle is superior to the
old smooth-bore in the following par
ticulars: 1t is eight time more effective
in accuracy, two-thirds greater in range
and penetration, five times greater in
rapidity of aimed fire, while the weight
of the cartridges per man has dimin-
ished, yet the number which may be
carried has been increased. The added
efficiency of the heavy guns is no less
surprising. The famous Krupp now
makes a gun Of nine inches calibre and
eighteen tons weight which will send
ball through twenty inches Of solid
iron; and his field gun, within a range
of more than mile and half, can be
uoPCAa0o uPon W puG cHcly PIOJeCtue
into space Of less than two hundred
square feet. Taking into consideration
the breech-loading, rifling, better pow
der, improved projectiles, the lighter
carriages of steel, the science of artillery
has been revolutionized, and one battery
to-day is more effective than twenty Of
those SO skillfully handled by the Great
Napoleon. In the next great battles
will be brought into play. The Hotch-
kiss revolving gun can fire bursting
shells at the rate of eighty minute. It
can pour out a continuous and deadly
fire or seventy-tive pounds Of metal, or
l,2OO hits, every sixty seconds. It Is
fearful to think of the havoc which
would be caused by the guns Of the
future. Dernorest's Monthly fo. March.
