s'Yes, senor," answered one of the men,

"Yes, senor," answered one of the men, with a smile
 "I don't see mosquito netting nor the we'd ding dress" said the stranger; "and can't see any joke either"
 eff the senor will wait few minutes he too, "was the reply. "He will see that this tree bear not only mosquito netting and wedding dresses, but fish nets and neck scarfs, mourning crape or bridal veils."
 The tree was without more ado cut down. Three strips of bark, each about six inches wide and eight feet long, were taken from the trunk and thrown into stream of wat CT. Then each man took 8 strip while it was still in the water and, with the point of his knife, separated a thin layer of the inner bark from one end of the strip. The layer was then taken in the fingers and gently pulled whereupon it came away in an even sheet of the entire width and length of the strip of bark. Twelve sheets were thus talk en from each strip of bark and thrown into the water.
 light broke in upon the strangers mind Without doubt these strips were to be sewn together into one sheet. The plan seemed good one and the fabric thus form ed might do, he thought, if no better cloth could be had.
 The men were not trough yet however for when each strip of bark had yielded it's twelve sheets each sheet was taken from the water and gradually stretched sidewise. The snectator could hardly believe his eyes. The sheet broadened until from a close piece of mat erlal six inches wide it became flmy cloud of delicate lace over three feet in width The astonished gentleman was forced to confess that no human made loom ever turned out lace which could surpass in snowy whiteness and gossamer-Ike delicacy that product of nature

in 146s they ordered that Jewish lady doc tors should either quit the city or pay taxes like other Jews.
 Educated colored men are finding not 6 little fault about the management of the in- stitutions devoted to the higher education of their race. 'FThe spirit of caste," says Fred erick Douglass, in discussing this subject, ''is all the more difficult to meet because in col ored institutions under white control it usu- ally assumes the guise of religion and pious regard for the happiness of the objects of it's disparagement. They would have us among the angels in heaven, but do not want to touch elbows with us sn earth" The editor of the organ of the African Methodist church thinks that ''there is 8 spirit of unrest among colored people, in that they are losing conf dence in the management of these institu tions." A Texan colored teacher points out that there are in the Union 124 institutions for the instruction of the co1ored race, hay ing an enrollment of 15, ,0O4 students and re- quiring 516 instructors. The majority of these are under the auspices of various reli- gious denominations; but he ventures the sertion 'tthat not one-tenth of the corps of professors are colored. Something must be radically wrong," he thinks, "with our col ored colleges that cannot do in twenty or thirty years what others are doing in so much less time.'
 The opinion was expressed by an eminent American scientist, in a recent lecture, that the North American continent had the be- ginning of it's foundation in islands of matter rising out of the immense ocean, which grew until they finally touched each other. Many of these islands were volea- noes that threw up matter that had formed below the surface of the water, andwere larg- CT below the water than above it. The Hawaii an Islands have had many volcanoes, and area above the sea is no more thar that of the State of Massachusetts, but their com bined bases must be equal to the whole of New England and New York united. Thus the original islands of this continent could easily have been made to enlarge and join each other, and the granite rock so abund- ant was doubtless once erupted from volca- noes, like flowing lava. Among the first volcanic islands must have been Greenland, Canada east of Winnipeg, the Atlantic dis trict, the Rocky Mountains and tho Sierra Nevadas; but ss the islands rose and en- larged great depressions would naturally commence and go on, and k this way the depressions of Hudson's Bay, the Mississippi valley, and the Salt Lake and Nevada basins were formed. These depres- sions would fill with massive sediments, which would eventually become rocks, and the Impressions would have a saucer or plat ter shape.

More AhouttheO OId State House.

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Much has been said and written about the old State House. Why do our city authori- ties hesitate whether to repair CT pull it down2 If room on the Green is needed for baby carriages and seats for loafers let the Center church or Trinity church be removed. These churches have plenty of money to build church edifee without taxing the people of the city, two-thirds of whom gre laboring men. We are told that it will cost as much to take down the State House as to repair it. If this building is torn down the city will have to tax the people from $200,- 900 to $40O, 900 to get the room needed that this State House give free of debt. It is little less than vandalism for the authorities of this beautiful city to destroy property in this way and then tax the already tax-bur- dened people to build other buildings to take the place of it.

 stranger travelling iii Central America expressed great surprise when told by his host that mosquito nets grew on trees in that country, says a writer in St. Nicholos. The host further asser rted that he intended getting wedding dress from the same tree for a bride who was to be married on his estate.
 "You don't mean, 7" said the traveller, incred- ulously, ''that mosquito netting and bridal dresses grow on trees, do you?"
 "That is just what mean," replied the host.
 stAll right" said the stranger, who fancied joke was being attempted at his expense, ''let me see you gather the fruit and I will believe you"
 Certainly" was the answer; Hollow the men and you will see that speak the exact truth"
 Still looking for some jest, the stranger followed the two men who were to pluck the singular fruit stood by when they and top ped at rather small tree, bearing their glossy green leaves, but nothing else that the utmost effort of the imagination could con- 1 vert ihto the netting or the wedding garment. The tree was about twenty feet high and six iuches in diameter and it's bark looked much like that of birch tree. "Is this the trees" asked the stranger.

MAKING GOOD WORKMF

MAKING GOOD WORKMEN.
 MT. Richard M. Hoe, who died the other day, attained his great success by we'll direct ed efforts. One of the most interesting fea- lures of his immense establishment is the ap- prentice system which prevails there, about which little has hitherto been said A large number of boys are required as apprentices there and great care is taken in their selec- tion. After they have been chosen special attention is paid to their training, with a view to making them workmen who will help keep up the splendid reputation of the busi- ness.
 During the day these apprentices work in the shops and in the evening they Ego to school" The school is supported entirely by the firm, who provide school rooms, books, teachers, materials and all; it is absolutely free, and attendance upon it is compulsory. Its exercises are thoroughly practical from first to last. The boys are trained in mathematics and mechanical drawing chiefly, but defects in their general education are carefully repaired by other studies. Each boys special capacity or ten dency is considered in determining his par ticular course. If he has gift for mechan- ical drawing it is especially cultivated to fit him for work in the designing department, and so with other faculties. There is no rule, no fixed order, no time requirement. Each boy is assigned to the work for which he is best fitted, and each must m ake him. self absolute master of each thing before ad vancing to another. When this is done, whether it requires a week or g year, he is fit for promotion and promoted, but never before. Naturally the school hours are short, in order that no boy may be over tasked by study after work; but every mo- ment is profitable employment. Most of the boys live too far from the factory to go home to supper and then return to school, and to meet this difficulty the firm, by contract with an eating house proprietor in the neigh borhood, have plain, plentiful and whole some supper spread for all, to which they sit down soon as they have washed them selves after the work of the day is done. School follows supper, and when it begins every boy is in his place.
 This system has worked we'll and the pro- ducts of the firm are known and admired throughout the civilized world. There are many establishments in this country where some such system would pay much better than the haphazard way of training appren- tices which is prevalent.

 Of the four hundred and eight senators, members and territorial delegates who com pose congress seventy-two are Methodists, sixty-three Baptists, forty-one Episcopa- Hans, thirty seven Presbyterians, thirty six Catholics, fifteen Unitarians, eight Luther ans, ten Christians (Campbellites), and two Quakers, making total of two hundred and eighty-three who are actively connected with some church organization. This leaves one hundred and twenty-five who either never belonged to any church or have drifted out of such associations.

 English sparrows have become such a hui sance in New York that they are hunted regularly The professional hunters per form their work at night in the vicinity of hayricks, where sparrows pass the night The method pursued in catching them, which is known as batfowling, requires the presence of four sportsmen. One carries 8 long heavy stick, with which he beats the sides ot the rick, and starts the game. An other bears lantern at the end of 8 long pole, toward which the birds fly when awakened from sleep. The other two hold | close against the roasting haunt of the birds wide-mouthed net, into which the spar rows dash, bewildered by the noise and dag zled by the light.
 There have been 'flady physicians" before our time. Dr. Horowitz, of Frankfort-on- 1 the Main, has published a work entitled t'Judische Aerzte in Frankfurt" i" in which the author mentions the fact that as long as 450 years ago Jewesses practiced in that city as doctors. They especially devoted them selves to ophthalmia. The female oculist, Dr. Zerlin, in the year 1428, ventured to re- side outside the Judengasse, and believed that she could claim exemption from payment oi taxes on account of her talent and the gene. ral esteem in which she was held.
