Shade Trees of Washington.

Paris is the only city that has more
shade-trees than Washington. There
are now IS, 600, covering 125 miles. No
city in the world has planted trees so
Systematically. Yet all this has been
done within few years. The streets
are supplied from three large. nurseries,
where there is now stock of so. 900
small trees. Several thousand of the
trees came from a slip brought from
Baltimore in the pocket of one of the
Commissioners. Less than 500 has
been expended in the purchase of trees,
and the entire annual cost of raising,
planting, and protecting is less than
500, 900. The largest item of expense
is the boxing to protect the trees
against horses and vandalism. In
some cases a skeleton iron boxing is
used. The wooden boxes are made at
the Government Industrial School at a
cost of So cents each, and about $4,000
are put up or renewed yearly. The
cost is borne In equal shares by the
Government and property-Cwners. The
varieties of maple, chiefly soft maple,
are most numerous. There are also
sugar maple, Norway maple, sycamore
maple. scarlet maple, the American
elm, American linden, buttonwood, box
elder, American ash, tulip poplar, asp
en- poplar, Kentucky coffee, gincho,
horse chestnut, European linden, hon.
ey locust, catalpa, sweet gum, weep
ing elm. eucalyptus, cypress, etc. The
trees on streets are planted at the curb.
On the avenues they are four abreast,
one at either curb, and one in the
building line in the wide parking" so
that they form an arched arbor above
the sidewalks. The finest single street
will be Massachusetts avenue, where
lindens are planted four abreast
throughout four miles, recalling ia
nous Inter den Linden in Berlin.
The asphalt pavement prevents alb
sorption of nutriment. Brick pave
ments are retained where practicable.
as they admit or absorb moisture
readily. The soil hard red clay, is
not favorable. The trees are, there
fore, actually fed by hand, by packing
nutritious soil at the roots, a space
about three feet square being left in
the surrounding pavement for that pur-
pose. This food is renewed when nu-
triment is exhausted, and a change of
diet is often found necessary to meet
the needs of the tree. The button
wood is, perhaps, the tree best adapt
ed naturally to the soil and climate of
the city-Outdoors and Indoors.

New YOrk's Debt.

The Indebtedness oil New York City
and county is now $50, 900, 000-ten
in four per cents, twenty-five in five
per cents, forty-two in six and fifty
one in seven per cents. Or the total
debt the Sinking Fund Commissioners
hold $50 900, 600, but only about three
and half millions are for redemption,
the balance in the fund not having been
sold. Next year ten millions of the
debt will mature, and, as a conse-
quence, rents will be cheaper and
prices will otherwise be higher. To
account for this fact it is but to think
that the land owning interests hold the
bonds, and the redemption of the bonds
floats through such interests so much
money. But the taxes remain the same
and the effect of the benefit to the rent
paying people will not be felt until
next year. SIX millions will fall due
in 1880, and one half of it is seven per
cent, the withdrawal of which will
necessarily shorten the circulation, In
1886 but three and half millions will
accrue and the following year we may
expect good times. The only wear in
which New York will pay nothing of
her debt will be 1898, no bonds issued
falling due in that year. Less than
two hundred thousand of the seven per
cent. bonds are in the sinking fund,
which shows the great difference in the
marketable prices of bonds. In 1896
fifteen millions of the seven per cents.
will fall due, and reissue will be nec-
essary, for the city cannot pay that
amount in one year.-M T. Cor. Los1ss-

The First HosS Car

"In 1881" said John Stephenson,
the veteran builder of horse cars,
81 designed and built the first tram
car OF the first railway for street
service in this country or abroad. This
car consisted of three separated COM
partments, each compartment holding
ten persons and being entered by sepa-
rate doors, on the side, from guard
rail. Seats were provided on top of the
car for thirty more persons. The car
was very much like the English rail-
way coach, though it was set consider
able lower. 1t was hauled by team
of horses, the conductor remaining out
side on the rail, rain or shine. The
company for which it was built was
called the New York & Harlem Road
running from Prince street, on the
Bowery, along the line of the Bowery
to Fourteenth street. thence along the
line of the present Fourth avenue to
Yorkville and Harlem. Fourth avenue
at that time had not been opened, but
the line had been surveyed in 1910.
The fare paid varied with the distance,
being sixpence or six and once .arter
cents from Prince street to Fou- teenth
street, sixpence more to point where
Forty-second street now runs across
Fourth avenue, sixpence more to York
vile, and twenty-five cents to Harlem.
These fares were paid in the silver of
the old Spanish currency then prevail
ent, In time the through fare was re-
duced to eighteenpence, and then to
twelve. But the road did not succeed
In 1887, after six years of construction,
1t temporarily gave way to the steam
cars. La 1916, however, it resumed
working under its charter. which has
not been given up. and which, by the
way,is the charter under which the pres
ent 4th ave horse car line is operated.
'.1n that year. 1845, the cars were
remodeled nearly to their present
style, the great feature being the
adoption of end platforms and en-
frances. No other horse car line was
built till 1852, when at about the same
time charters We're granted for the
Second. Third, Sixth and Eight avenue
lines. Outside of New York in this
country, Boston first adopted the sys-
tenn in 1856, Philadelphia followed in
1857, after which 1t spread over the
country. New Orleans, in 1861, was
the first to adopt the small car, or, as
it is called, the bob-tail car. And
should like to say just here that out of
the 428 horse cars lines now existing in
the United States, 279 use the small
cars only, the remaining 149 having
the conductor cars. IN y Tribune.

He Twisted Her Tail.

1t was a cow with mild brown eyes,
auburn bangs and tail with love
lock on the end that switched the air
nd Knocked imaginary flies into the,

led down West street towards the
Cortland street ferry by ferocious-
looking Jersevman, whose complexion,
owing TO the cold weather and hot
whisky, was red as a meteorie sunset.
Suddenly, with what was apparently
unnecessary cruelty, the Jerseyman
struck the COW across the flank with a
club, swung his arms over his head.
danced maddening double-shuffie in
the street, and sat down with strange
rapidity upon a car-rail. The cow
looked over her shoulder reprovingly
and stood in her tracks. The JERSEY
man arose from the impression he had
made in the ice, smoothed his coat-tails
caressingly, and started towards the
cow. He raped her once, spat on his
hands, raped her twice, put his shoul-
der against her slde-all to move her
out OF the track of the drays-but to no
avail. A crowd assembled. The Jer-
seyman got lots of sympathy, but no
she had frozen fast; another that she
was undecided about the policy of the
new board of aldermen; third that
she was one of H. o. rs unbalanced
bids and was afraid of JERSEY Justice,
The owner went few yards ahead
grinned ghastly grin, and shaking
his club behind him in . suppressed
fury, pleaded in persuasive tone:
Come Mooley; cCme, Mooley, Mooley."
But Mooley ssaw the club.
AT lest from the crowd stepped
io-hk and unshaven specimen long
shoreman. He was gifted with a wis
dom beyond his kind. He drew the
owner of the cow aside and whispered
in his ear, Twist her tail" The. Jer-
seyman shook his head. Then, as
though bidding for the support of the
multitude, the 'longshoreman raised
his arm, and making sweeping ges-
ture. exclaimed:
''Gents, say twist her tail"
Twist it yerself," was the answer.
A glance of scorn upon the crowd,
and the 'longshoreman barred his
brawny arm and stepped up to the cow.
He took the love-lock in his hand, run
his fingers through it and clinched
them, grasped the middle Of the tail
in his left hand, and tried to tie knot
An agonizing silence, which was broken
by groan and dotted with a broad
brimmed hat. a pair of suspenders, and
the arms and legs of 'longshoreman
doing calisthenics in the frosty air.
The battered remains of the 'longshore-
man were carried away muttering bias
phemy. The cow, after she had re-
placed her hind hoofs on the ground,
was led on to the ferry by the Jersey
man, who observed as he paid his fare

An Editor Interviewed.

'See here, Mr.. Editor" said an irate
woman, coming into the sanctum and
leaving the door open, ''see here,
what's this in your mean little news
paper?"
Really, madame, there is so much
in it, considering that it's only SO per
year in advance, with liberal reduction
to clubs, that cannot at the first blush
tell you what it is"
well, don't talk your jaw off, but
tell me what you mean by this refer
ence to my late husband?n
''Ah, madame, the good kind soul
who died only yesterday"
"The same one; you didn't think l
was planting one after each meal, did
you?''
Hardly that, madame, but what do
you refer TOP"
why. sir, this passage in the obit-
usry where you say he was consigned
to roasting place with his fathers. "
"Ahem, madam, ahem; let me see,"
and the editor grabbed the paper and
gazed intently at the words. 81 beg
your pardon, madam; it should have
been resting place. and if you will
come down to the Office this afternoon
you can have the scalp of any internal
compositor in the Office, and / will tear
it off for you. We can stand some

Marrying Canadian Peasant.

The chief social event of their lives
is wedding-almost the only set oc-
casion of festivities. The priest then
permits dancing among relatives and
allows unusual expenses to be incurred.
Courtship is very short and circum-
spect. 1t generally lasts but few
months. Engagements are made very
much after the pecuniary interests fol-
lowed in France, and the marriages
generally occur at from Is to % years
of age.
A widower of this place recently
went TO spend the evening with a
neighbor, whose sister was an old maid
whom no one had thought of marry
ing. When he left the house her
brother suggested that he should mar
ry her. They returned to the house,
and went together TO her bed, in one
corner of the room, and woke her up.

said;
