THE AILANrUs-Many complaints have
been made of the oyerpowering and often
size odor of the flowers of the ailantus
trees planted in the streets Of Paris and
other large cities. According to NJ. Z.
Andre, it is only the flowers of the male
trees which exhale this unpleasant scent,
and he recommends that none but female
trees should be for the future planted in
public or other places where the peculiar
odor of the males might be offensive. This
would seem an important point for Ameri-
cans and others who plant the ailantus
largely a. g street tree.-[ Woods and

MARBLES BY THE MILLIONS.
How the Toy Makers of Germany Prosper
When Our Boys "Fen-Dubs!"

How the Toy Makers of Germany Prosper
When Our Boys "Fen-Dubs!"
A few days ago, at the office of the
custom surveyor, Minute reporter
picked up an item which excited his
curiosity. He was told that Charles
Mayer & Co. paid about $3.50 duty on
marbles imported from Germany.
IAN invoice of marbles" said the re-
porter, ION which the duty amounts
to that much, certainly must contain
enough of these playthings to keep all
the boys in the United States busy for
some time"
WELL" said Mr.. Mueller, Deput
Custom-house Surveyor, ''you can
count for yourself. The invoice con-
sists of sixty cases, each case contain
ing 1000 gross of marbles.
Taking in consideration the differ
ence in the size of the marbles, and
that each case was said to contain 1876,
600 marbles, this would make the en-
tire invoice consist of about 5000, 600,
or enough to give each school boy in
the United States a marble or two.
But as the firm referred to is not sup
posed to control the entire trade in
the United States, the boys are entitled
to a more liberal supply. If the
stock just imported were held
for the indianapolis boys, division
would result in each boy getting about
$50 marbles. 1t is not probable, how
ever, that this supply would last much
longer than the dozen or two of mar.
bleS which the average boy now man.
ages to get away with each season.
Marbles belong to class of play
things which can not very easily be
broken or otherwise destroyed, still
they disappear in a somewhat mysteri
GUS manner, and of the 5000. 600 which
have just come across the ocean, form
ing bulky, but not very valuable par
of the cargo of one of our large ocean
steamers, not many will be left in {
year from now and new supply viii
have to be ordered from Steinach, il
Thuringia, where nearly all the mar
bles come from. Stomach is in the
Sonneberg District, the principal indus
try of which is the manufacture ftoys
marbles being one of the main articles
produced. The trade distinguishes be
tween two classes of marbles, the glas!
marble, which is the prettiest and mos
expensive article, the marbles with {
porcelain finish and painted surface
and the common stone marble. The
glass marbles, some of which show
verv handsome designs, are produced
in the glassworks, while the Others ART

Origin of a Common Custom.

The following account of the origin
of the custom of tolling the bell on
boats passing the tomb of Washington
was given at meeting of the Wash
ington Literary Society by DIR. Toner:
This token of regard, it is said, or
iginated on a French merchant vessel
which had been to Alexandria for a
cargo, and going down the river after
General Washington's death, but be-
fore his interment, placed its colors at
half-mast and tolled it's bell coutinu-
ously while passing the house of
mourning. This special testimony of
respect impressed every person as be-
coming and appropriate, and it was at
once taken up and practiced by all
river crafts. Ever since then the bell
is tolled on vessels of every character
and nation which pass the tomb of
Washington. ltmay, therefore, be claim
ed to have grown into custom of inn
pressive reverential respect, observed
by all vessels sailing up and down the
Potomac River
