The Production of Camphsr.

The distillation Of the camphor of
commerce from cinndmonum cam
phora, Fr., Nses ct Eb., is a most
hazardous trade, the distillers hav-
ing to be constantly on the alert fer
fear of attack by the aborigines, who
are naturally opposed to the centin-
ual encroachmsnt into their terrific
ry for the purpose of cutting down
the trees for extracting the eamphor.
No young trees are planted to re-
place those cut down, nor do the Of
ficials take any cognizance of the
diminution which is being surely
effected in the supply Of a valuable
commercial article. The stills are
described as being OF a very simple
construction, and are built upon q
shed in such a manner that they
can be moved as the Chinese ad-
vance into the interior. A long
wooden trough, coated with clay
and half filled with water, is placed
over eight or ten furnaces on the
trough boards pierced with holes are
fitted. and on these boards are plac-
ed jars containing the camphor-
wood chips, the whole being sur
mounted by inverted earthenware
pots, and the joints made air-tight
by filling them up with hem. When
the furnaces are lit the steam passes
through the pierced boards, and sat.
urating the chips causes the subli-
mated camphor to settle in CRYSTALS
on the inside ofthe pots, from which
it is scraped off and afterward refin-
ed During the summer months
the camphor often loses as much as
twenty per cent. on its way from
the producing districts to the pert
of shipment.-Nature.

Choice Roses.

Those who have choice roses often
desire few extra ones, either to be-
stow upon friends, or to use in en-
larging their flower garden. In or
der to secure good strong plants, it
is only necessary to select ripe
shoots, we'll branched near the
ground (preferring those limbs that
if cut off would make nice bushy
plant and with a sharp knife, hack
or notch the under side so that bent
it comes in contact with the soil.
These notches should be five in
number. through to the heart or
pitch. Now bend the limb down,
and with the knife slit the limbs
one and half inches up towards
the end of the top. just below the
notches, and be careful not to break
the limb; cover two inches in the
sandy sail, and lay brick or stone
over it to keep it down. Keep the
soil moist and by spring the roots
/ will have formed often four and five
inches long. when it can be removed.
The most difficult roses root easily
this way.

A Story of Thad. Stevens

A VirgiAlan named Edmonston
was one day walking down Pennsyl-
vaaia avenue, Washington, with J.
NJ. Curry, then Congressman. Mr.
Edmonston was much excited about
a remark he had traced to Mr.. Ste
vens. and threatened to insult him
on sight. Mr. Curry tried to ap-
pease him, but did not altogether
succeed. Soon afterwards Ednon-
ston deserted Thaddeus Stevens Just
ahead on the avenue. and, hi. wrath
returning, said: "There goes the
dashed old rascal now; | am going
to confront him." Before his COM
panion could prevent, Edmonston
had accosted the enemy. Hating
the Pennsylvania statesman, the
fiery Virginian CALCULATED Mr..
Stevens. sir, | heard that YOU insult
ed my State" The grim old man,
with a malicious twinkle in his eyes
responded "Oh, no; l think not,
Mr.. Edmonston. But what did |
say offensively?" Edmonston re-
Joined: You said, sir, that John
Brown could have captured Virgin
ia with 80 men," Hardly suppress
ing laugh, his wicked eyes glim-
mering more maliciously, Thad.
Stevens, in a sharp tone, sad: "You
have got it wrong, Mr. Edmonston,
frightfully wrong did not say that
John Brown could have captured
Virginia with 80 men | put it at 10
men, sir-15 men," Edmonston
was struck dumb with amazement
and fell back, as old Thad. hobbled
up Pennsylvania avenue, chackling
and grinning.

How he Deposed a Chief.

Governor McCook once caused
the deposition of Ute chief nam
sd Colorow, in the following man
ner:
During his administration, Colo
row and a band of Utes came to
post town and camped on the out
skirts. One day the chief sent word
that he wanted q new tent. Nc
Cook dispatched an agent to see
what condition COlorow' stent was
in; the report was that be did not
need a new tent, and McCook ac-
cordingly refused. In the afternoon,
while the Governor was in his Of
flee. Colorow came in half drunk,
with a revolver in his hand, and
going over where McCook was
writing sat down. The Governor
took in the situation at glance, but
did not look up.
"McCook liar" :" said Colorow.
The Governor went on writing.
'McCook damn liarl" repeated
the chief. Still McCook continued
writing.
"McCook G-dam liar,H said Col
GROW, reaching climax
Never the less McCook would not
look at him.
BY this time Colorew had conciud-
ed there was no fight in the Govern
or and allowed the hand holding
the revolver to drop at his side.
The move was a bad one. In an
instant McCook seized his wrist,
knocked the weapon away from him,
and catching the astonished savage
bv the neck, kicked him down
stairs and into the street, where a
number OF Utes were standing
about.
With great tact, MeCook pointed
to the PROSTATE and humilating form
of Colorow, and turning to the Utes
said "Colorow an old woman. Get
man for chief."
Then, turning on his heel, he
walked upstairs. The next day the
mortified Utes deposed Colorow.

Individualism in Politics.

Mr.. Herbert Spencer, in declining
to become a candidate for the House
of Commons, has called attention to
what may be perhaps defect in our
present political methods. He be-
lieves that that the person chosen to
represent political constituency
should be absolutely master of him
self; that by his votes and speeches
he should follow out the course
which seemed to him best, irrespect-
i've of whether this course is approx
ed by those whom he represents or
not. In one way Mr.. Spencer is
quite right. The tendency of our
times is to limit the freedom of ac-
ton of the individual. A man is
elected not to do what he considers
is for the best interests of the coun-
try, but to follow out certain line
of party policy, which he may
scarcely believe is detrimental to the
country, In this way We never OBJ
tain from our public men the best
service they are capable OF perform
ing. They will always feel upon
them the constraint of their constit
uents, and will content themselves
with keeping within the well-defned
lines of party policy. On the other
hand, the theory of individualism-
of personally adopting what may
seem to be right opinions and follow
ing these to their logical conclusions,
independent of the wishes of those
whom one represents, and of the
needs of party as well-can hardly
fail to exercise demoralizing effect
in representative form of govern
meht. Control in these govern
ments is vested in parties, and
where no two will think and act
alike it is impossible to construct
well organized party of any dimen-
sions greater than one man. The
obstacle that the liberals on the con-
tinent of Europe have encountered
has csme from the fact Of their ex
cessiye independence. Each indi-
vidual has had a pet theory of gov
eminent which he wishes to see en-
bodied in the organic laws of his
country, and has been so completely
logical in the support of his plan
that he has consistently opposed the
suggestions and plans of others.
Such method might serve admira-
bly, if a man happened to be an au-
tocrat, but if he is only one of a
large number of people, all of whom
are quite as important as he is in de-
termining the scope of legislation,
the willingness to yield, and the
readiness to discover points of SINH
larity in the various plans suggested.
are necessary features of practical
craftsmanship. Mr.. Spencer is prob
ably quite right in thinking that he
would not succeed in public life, a
fact due chiefly to his indisposition
to think very highly of the views
put forward by Others. Boston Her

To Europe in Four Days.

A French engineer, NJ. Sebillet,
proposes to shorten the time between
this continent and Europe to four
DAYS. His idea is to adapt to ocean
navigation, on a more acute and
longer scale, the idea which models
the North river steamers and the
fsrry-boats of the East river. 1t is
that Of having virtually tive hulls,
a lower and an upper, the lower and
the centre to be deep, long, narrow.
aud at the bows very sharp, reduc-
ing the angle forward by the line Of
the bows where they cut the water
with the line of the vessels motion
from / to 10 degrees as now, to even
8 degrees. The lower hull will thus
preserve a width from stem to stern
of only third the width of the up
per hull, and the latter will either
be out of water, or, when the vessel
is deeply laden, will barely rest upon
the water. He estimates that ves-
sci of 10000 tons as compared with
the newest fast steamers, with 10000
horsepower, 1000 feet immersed
cross-section, and running twenty
knots per hOurin calm water, would
show a speed of 80 knots and prob
ably 80 knots. 1t follows that such
vessel could cross the ocean, in
calm water, from New York to Eu-
rope, in about four days. This is by
no means an extravagant supposi-
ton, as the fineness of the lines is
out of comparison with the usual
lines in fast steamers, and can be
compared only with those of some
fine race boats renowned for their
speed, and built either shallow and
wide or narrow and deep, the new
type partaking of both these priRci-
pies and carrying them to the ut
most. 1t is possible experience
might show that the shape ef the
prov will cause such a vessel to be
much less influenced by rough
weather than the ordinary shape.
The ocean-traveling public would
gladly welcome the day when NJ. Sc
billot's new rapid-transit idea shall
become a fact-HaItord Post.

THE LITTLE FAT DOCTOR.

He seemed so strange to me every way
In manner and ways, and size,
From the boy knew but yesterday
| could hardly believe my eyes,
To hear his name called over there,
Ny memory filed with glee,
And leaped to picture him young and fair
And fresh as he used to be.
But, looking, as only glad eyes can,
For the boy | knew of yore.
I smiled on portly little man
| had never seen before,
Grave as Judge. in courtllness-
Professer-like and bland
A little fat doctor, and nothing less,
With his hat in his kimboed hand.
But how we talked old times, and chaffed
Each other, with Minnie" and Jim -
And how the little fat doctor laughed
And how laughed at hin,
"And it's pleasant" l said, though yearn

The face of the youth that was,
To know no boy could smile on me
As the little fat doctor doesr'
