Useful as the Mahwa tree is and

Useful as the Mahwa tree is and
valued asit is by the natives, still they
do not protect or foster its growth as
much as it might be thought they
would, considering that the flowers and
fruit are alike useful for food, drink
and domestic purposes. The cultiva-
ton Of the tree is not SO great as it
well might be. This culture might,
with very considerable advantage to
the country, be fostered by the govern
ment, as the trees would yield revenue
by the duty on the spirits distilled from
them, as well as afford food for the
poorer native population at certain sea
sons Of the year. No out
lay is necessary, as they are
very easily grown from seed, the
trees propagating themselves in those
parts of India in which the tree il
indigenous, the seed being generally
self-sown. With view to securing z
the preservation Of Mahwa trees in
village areas, it is not now allowed to
cut them down, even when they have
ceased blooming, without permission.
This is step in the right direction !
and if attention is turned toward the
cultivation Of seedlings throughout
India, one Of the best food-trees Of the
empire viii be preserved from extinc-

Come, little wnnderer, out of the Iarehes,
Sing me song of the brave hemlock tree.
Dead are the blossoms that hang in the
archos,
Gone every wild woodland singer but thee.
Can'st thou not tell how the enemy marches
Boldly on hillside and meadow and lear
Hath not the north king quiver Of arrows?
Looks be not stern from his helmet of
mail?
Drives ho not forth all the homeless young
sparrows-
Shivering to cry into the pitiless gale
Into the hollows, the gorges, the narrows?
Oh, l have wept at the sorrowful tale.
Oft Love and by the green, growing
rushes,
Walked in the valley when stilled to re-
Walked where the river, with ripples and
gushes,
Lulled in a slumber the bee and the rose.
Briefly the hillside the red sunset fushes,
Coldly and keenly the Wild north wind
blowsl
Sing me song of the grove and the thicket
Where the foot sank IN its carpet of moss;
Love and / strayed from the little white
wicket,
Down the green lane and the meadows
across.
Now in the orchard TIE desolate cricket
Feebly and plaintively sings of her loss!

Reared by tie frost in the tops of the

mounted and followed after them.
Tom Telford permitted the smith
and landlord to enter first. When the
smith and landlord reached the hall
door the silence was ofninous. A dull
light showed an open door, through
which the smith had passed, speaking
soothingly to quiet the dog if he were
near.
Ills foot struck something, and
STOPPING, the smiths hand came in
contact with the dead mans face.
"Strike light, Dick" The land
lord obeyed silently. Then both looked
down on the dead man, and on Hero,
whose long tongue, fierce eyes and
distended mouth presented horrible
appearance. Miss Moore stepped for
ward, cried out. then stepped into the
room and handed 4 lamp to the land
lord, who Lit it, and the en-, STOPPING,
examined the dead MAJ face.
Meanwhile Hero, tv whom none
Of them were strangers. squatted on
his launches and licked his murderous
chops.
Tom Telford led Miss Moore into
the next room, and five minutes later
the robber. who had been accidentally
locked in the room, and his dead ac-
complice, were taken to Alton in a
wagon.
Tom Telford quietly put his horse
in Miss Moore's stable, and he and
the blacksmith remained at Moore
land house the remainder Of the night.
In less than six months Mooreland's
broad acres were placed at Toms dis
posal. The story goes that he ayowed
his love for Marian Moore before he
went to bed that night, but the black
smith Of Alton, when spoken to about
it, half closes his eyes. shakes his head
slowly, and says he knows nothing

A Cats Reasoning Power,

"Our servants have been accustomed
during the late frost to throw the crumbs
remaining from the breakfast t,blo to
the birds, and have several tines no.
ticed that our cat used 10 wait there in
ambush in the expectation of obtaining
hearty meal from one or two OF tho
assembled birds. Now, so far this cir
cumstance In itself is not an example OF
abstract reasoning. But to continue;
For the last few days this practice Of
feeding the birds has been left of The
cat, however, with an almost incredible
amount of forethought, WAS observed by
myself together with two other members
of the household to scatter crumbs on
the grass with the obvious intention OF
enticing the birds" A somewhat SINH
lar incident is recounted by another Of
the authors correspondents: During
the recent severe winter friend was In
the habit of throwing crumbs outside OF
his bed room window. The family have
a fine black cat, which, seeing that the
crumbs brought birds, would OCCASION
ally hide herself behind some shrubs
and when the birds came for their break
fast would pounce out upon them, with
varying success. The crumbs had been
laid out as usual, one afternoon, but left
untouched, and during the night light
fall of snow occurred. On looking out
next morning my friend observed puss
busily engaged in scratching away the
snow. Curious to learn what she sought
he waited and saw her take the crumbs
up from the cleared space and lay them
one after another on the snow. After
doing this she returned behind the
shrubs to wait further developments.
This was repeated on two other ooca-
sions." Now, we learn from DR.. Klein
that the cat which he watched had also
indisputably established definite assoc
citation between crumbs already sprink-
led on the garden walk and sparrows
coming to eat them; for as soon as the
crumbs were thrown upon the walk the
cat used to conceal himself in neigh
boring shrubbery, there to await in am
bush the coming of the birds. In this
instance the reasoning observation OF
the animal crumbs attract birds,
therefore | will wait for birds when
crumbs are scattered was as COM
plete as in the first stage Of the feline
proceedings recorded by DR.. Frost, but
the reasoning in the latter case seems to
have proceeded step further" there

birds. ~
