In this forestry question some Of the
European governments have led us out
OF sight. Take France for example. In
1875, four years before the adoption of
our constitution, France. having rea-
lizcd the Importance Of promoting the
cultivation Of forests, commissioned h.
Andre Michaux, a learned %botanist, to
come to America and range through u
vast primeval forests from Hudson's bay
to the Florida capes and from the capes
of the Delaware to the Pacific ocean,
and make a profound study of u for
est trees with a view to introducing into
France such varieties and species of
trees rs would be useful in the arts,
beautiful for adornment of grounds,
and grateful for shade, which we're not
indigenous to their own country.
In the prosecution Of his mission he
established botanical gardens in Bergen
county. New Jersey, near New York
city, and at Charleston, S. c., for the
culture Of seedlings, and from these
gardens tens Of thousands of seedlings
and Young trees were taken and sent to
france to enrich hee forests and beau
tify the homes of her people, and to-day
the trees of France are counted by mill
ions which are the fruit Of the enlight-
ened and far sighted work of the French
government a century since.
In a note by the American editor Of
Michaux's works upon the oaks of Il
country, he says: THE general and
state governments should never grant a
charter for a railroad or canal without
Il clause requiring the planting of the
most useful trees, such as the white oak
for instance at the north, and the live
oak ut the south, wherever the climate
would favor its growth to maturity.
Along both sides Of the route a store Of
ship timber would thus be accumulat-
ing, to be drawn upon by the state and
national governments as emergencies
arise. The French government has
shown a wise foresight in this particu-
lar; her %turnpikes are often thus
planted, aud the product is at the call
Of the authorities"

ANHAN 4 49,
Whom a Tuscan flask has been filled
with wine, a large thimbleful of olive
oil, the genuine olive oil, is poured into
the neck and occupies it to the depth Of
about an inch. Then a little wad of
straw is usually loosely inserted on top
Of the oil, but this is merely to keep
the rats from getting at the oil and the
dust from falling in. The oil floats on
the wine, closes the bottle and preserves
the contents more effectually than could
any cork. When tho wine is to be
drank, city folk, who have not the
knnck of doing otherwise, remove the
oil with n wad Of tow which absorbcs
it, But the true method is, take the
flask in the right hand and toss out the
oil with Il sudden Jerk Of the wrist.
This can be done so skillfully that ey-
cry drop Of the oil is elected without
the loss of any appreciable quantity Of
tine wine. 1t is thought a point of good
breeding in case oily particles may re
main in the neck, for the host to pour
n little Of the wine into his own glass,
on the floor OF in n waste vessel, before
helping his friends.

The language of signs employed in

pears to have been invented TO enable
sellers and buyers to arrange their bust
ness u~ndisturbed by the host of loafers
who interfere in transactions carried on
in open markets in eastern towns. and
il enables people to conclude their busi-
ness without the bystanders knowing
the prices wanted or offered. IL is es-
p~ecially in use in the Red sea, and its
characteristic is that beneath a cloth.
or more generally part of the unfolded
turban. the hands of the parties meet,
and by an arrangement OF the fingers
the price is understood.
II one seizes the outstretched fore
finger Of the other it means I. 10, or
100; the two first fingers together mean
p, %, OF 90; the three first, =, 30, or
300; the four, 8. 80, or 400; the whole
hand. 2, 80. or 800; the little finger
alone, q, 90. or coo; the third finger
alone. :, 80. 200; the middle finger
alone, q, so. or 500; the FIRST finger
alone and bent. %, 90, or 800, while tho
thumb signifies 1000. If the forefnger
OF one Of the parties be touched in the
middle Joint with the thumb Of the
other it signifies and il the same
finger Is rubbed with the thumb from
the Joint to the knuekle 1t is more,
but if the movement Of the thumb be
upward TO the top instead of down
ward TO the knuckle it means less.
An eighth moro is marked by catching
the whole nail OF the fore6nger with
the thumb and finger, while the sym.
Dol for an eighth less IS catching the
flesh above the nall. c., the extreme
tip of the hnger-in the same way.
1t will thus bo seen that by combina-
lions of the fingers Of the seller and
buyer, a large range Of figures can DO
represented. II is Of course understood
that the average market value of the
article is roughly known, and that there
can be no confusion between, for et-
ample, T., 10, 100 and /, 900. This langu
age is in universal use among European,
Indian, Arab and Persian traders on the
Red sea coasts, as well as among tribes
coming from the interior, such as
Abyssiuians, Calais, Somalis, Bedouins,
etc. 1t is acquired very rapidly, and is
mora speedy than verbal bargaining;
bnt its main advantages are secrecy,
and that it protects the parties from the
interruption of meddlesome bystanders,
who in the east are always ready to give
their advice.

LOVES FIRE

Edward A, Fuller IN Boston Transcript
The log on which the hearth-flre long has fed
Is nigh consumed, and now the flame burn
low,
With one faint blaz Of feeble, Pickering rel.
That ghostly figures on the wall doth
throw.
But now the wind comes breathing soft
along, .
1t flames again and lights the gloom about,
Then lower sinks, as quick the wind Is gone.
Then pickering fades and with n puff goe .
out
Loves lro for long has fed upon the heart.
AMI nigh consumed it, though a feeble
flame
From out the ashes now and then doth start,
Casting weird shadows on tho troubled
brain:
Bat insin'fyisJsind comes breathing softly
by,
It glows again aud for n time Is bright.
Then the thought passes and lips sadly sigh,
As II dies out and leaves bshini but night.

Piles are frequently preceded by a sense
Of want of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
Of the kidneys or neighboring organs. AT
times, symptoms ofindigestion are present
Hatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like ~peHpiration, producing a
very disagrceable itching, after getting
warm, is a common attendant Blind,
bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application Of DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly on the parts
effected, absorbing the tumors, a~llaying
the intense itching, and effecting a per
manent cure. Price so cents. Address

Curlau " In GREETING.

A correspondent sends the following
statement, which is curiously interest
ing;
THE earth has nearly 80, 600, 600 Of
square miles of land surface, and 49,,
600, 900 of these miles are well adapted
for settled populations. Half of
the remainder could be occupied
by nomads for pasture lands and
by game. To people 10, 900, 600
Of square miles as densely as Bel
GUM is peopled would give the earth n
population Of o., 100. 600, 900, or over
four times its present population. The
United states and territories if as
densely peoplod. as Saxony would have
a population equal to the present popu-
lation of the world. Europe, whose
area differs little from hat Of our coun-
try, now has a population six times as
large as ours. In wealth and popula-
tion our country is only in its infancy. -

Pacific coast people are delighted to
learn that maokerel have been discoy-

of a bark at Portland, Ore, reports
that on his last voyage from Honolulu,
about the middle OF June, he sailed
through an enormous school Of mack
erel. Not having any suitable fishing
gear no was unable to procure any
specimens, but he says the fish acted
precisely like a school of mackerel in
tho north Atlnntic.

NJ. Worth, the Paris man-milliner, re-
lated one of the methods by which his
house is now and then beaten in a trade.
"A princess, known to everybody in
Paris society, is introduced to us, The
princess So and So wants some toilets.
The speaker is the wife of an American
millionaire who pays her own bills hon
orably. We bow. The princess has the
dresses. She refuses to pay, and on our
putting an execution into her house we
find that her furniture all belongs to
her upholsterer. What do you say TO
that And please mark, the princess in
question is Of such celebrity that SOCIETY
groyels before her"

Although dyspepsia has its chief seat
in the stomach, yet it affects the whole
digestive apparatus. The liver, pancrcas
and intestinal glands share in the general
trouble. The whole machinery needs

article with which to do the happy work.
Mr.. o. IL. Eckhart, Marion, o., writes
II used Browns Iron Bitters for indi-
gestion with the most excellent results.

Several cases Of poisoning by the
fumes Of nitric acid have occurred OF
late at Rome and Hale, and have OK
cited considerable interest In one in

street a metal vessel of nitric acid in

hours a%fterward. In another instance
a young chemist, who had been working
for some hours with tuning nitric acid,
