The merchants of California have
presented memorial to the Congress
sional Committee on Ways and Means,
urging cogent reasons for retaining in
tact the present Reciprocity Treaty be-
tween the United States and the Ha-
waiian Islands. The memorial first
states that it represents the merchants
of San Francisco whose business largely
springs from the benefits of the Treaty,
after which succinct historical account
of the origin and growth of the Treaty
is recited. After showing that the
Treaty was the ''result of much diplo-
matte negotiation, grave deliberation in
the Senate, and an elaborate and ex-
haustive discussion in the House." the
memorial declares;
1t now devolves upon the supporters of the
proposition to terminate the Treaty, to prove
that it has been failure; that it has not ac-
complished what was expected and designed
by its friends. 1t is dehors the question TO
show that the Treaty has been unsatisfactory
to its enemies They must show that il has
disappointed the Government; that the Ad-
ministration, together with the Senate and the
House Of Representatives, speaking by their
majorities in the making of the Treaty, now
find that they have been disappointed in the
results. The adverse arguments advanced
when the Treaty was being considered, proper
J., .Ia ~f
weight against Treaty made in spite of these
arguments, actually existent and operative ac-
cording to its terms.
The memorial then proceeds to show
that the Treaty has accomplished the
ends expected; that it has been a prac-
tical success in its workings; and that
it has given both the people and the
Governments interested perfect salts
faction. The objections to the Treaty
are then taken up and answered seri-
atm, after which the great commercial
benefits to the people of the United
States, accruing through both steam and
rail, as well as in the representation Of
American trade and American capital
in the Hawaiian Islands, are fully set
forth. Diplomatic and international
considerations are then discussed, and
the memorial closes with the following
suggestive paragraph:
By the effect Of the Treaty we hold the ac-
knowledged key to the North Pacific. We
have peacefully and cheaply what has been
deemed essentialto our security and tranquility
by the prescient craftsmanship of half a cen
fury. The importance of our advantage was
so manifest TO others, that British, French and
German statesmen earnestly protested, and
Great Britain gravelY assured the Hawaiian
Government that they could not allow the
Treaty to become operative. These Powers
recognize Hawaii as the gateway of peaceful
commerce and the point d'aRPni for operations
of war in the Pacific. Could Great Britain
dictate Congressional action for one day this
Treaty would be abrogated as first measure
A wise public policy made the Treaty; wise
public policy will continue it if private inter
ests are to be subordinated to the public good

A Curious Product.

A stranger travelling in Central
America expressed great surprise when
told by his host that mosquito nets
grew on trees in that country, says
writer in 81. Nicholas. The host further
asserted that he intended getting
wedding dress from the same tree for a
bride who was to be married on his es-
tate. You don't mean," said the
traveller, incredulously, " that mosquito
netting and bridal dresses grow on
trees, do your" "That is Just what l
mean" replied the host. "All right"
said the stranger, who fancied a joke
was being attempted at his expense,
let me see you gather the fruit and 1
will believe you" Certainly" was
the answer; "follow 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, and stood by
when they stopped at rather small
tree, bearing their glossy green leaves,
but nothing else which the utmost
effort of the Imagination could convert
into the netting or the wedding gar
ment. The tree was about twenty feet
high and six inches in diameter and its
bark looked much like that of birch
tree. " Is this the tree?" asked the stran-
ger. Yes, senor," answered one of the
men, with a smile. 81 don't see mos
quito netting nor the wedding Dress"
said the stranger; " and / can't see any
Joke either" eff the senior will wait
few minutes he will see all that was
promised, and more too" was the reply.
"He will see that this tree can bear
not only the mosquito netting and we'd
ding dresses, but fish nets and neck
scarfs, mourning Grape 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 water. Then each
man took strip while it was still in the
water, and, with the point of his knife,
separated 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 taken from each strip
of bark and thrown into the water. A
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 formed might do, he thought, il
no better cloth could be had. The men
were not through yet, however, fol
when each strip of bark had yielded its
twelve sheets each sheet was taken
from the water and gradually stretched
sidewise. The spectator could hardly
believe his eyes. The sheet broadened
until from close piece of material six
inches wide it became filmy cloud Of
delicate lace over three feet in width
The astonished gentleman was forced
to confess that no human-made loon
ever turned out lace which could sur
pass in snowy whiteness and gossamer
like delicacy that product of nature

The UnimprOvable Fiddle.

In walking through the exhibition of
musical instruments at South Kensing-
ton | was much struck with the con-
trast which does not appear to have thus
forced itself upon general attention, if
l may judge by the critical notices that
have been published. / refer to the
great and still continuing progress of
improvement in the construction of the
pianaforte, as compared with the abso-
lutte absence of even the smallest step
of improvement of the violin, violo,
violoncello, or violone. The clavichords.
harpsichords, clavicymbalums, spinets,
gravicembak col piano forte, were all
mere tom-toms compared with the mod
ern piano, while the fiddles, big and lit
tie, of the same date are the models
which our manufacturers can only en-
deavor to approximately initiate. Helm
holz has very profoundly worked out
some of the leading problems of mu-
steal acoustics, but he has not sue
ceeded in demonstrating the mathemat-
les of the queer shape of the fiddle. In
Vulnerable attempts have been made to
improve upon the model of Stradivarius,
but all have pitifully failed. Every
curve of his models, their thickness,
their bulge of back and belly, and even
the queer, unaccountable f-shaped
openings must be initiated with abiect
servility in order to produce fine in
strument. Some even assert that the
amber varnish is essential. Is it that
the makers of Cremona attained abso-
lutte perfection, and that no further i'm
provement is possible, or do our modern
makers fail from the want of knowl-
edge of the acoustic principles on
which the efficiency of instruments of
this class depends? Had the Cremona
makers any theory, or did they work by
rule of thumb" or, more probably
did they, by patient and persevering
study of a number of failures, arrive at
practical truth by practical exhaustion
! of error?

THE worst cases cured by DR., Sage's
Catarrh Remedy.

As to Colds.

Notwithstanding the mystery sur
rounding the manner of catching the
disorder commonly called "cold,"
medical scientists agree that among the
causes are dirt and impure air. Drs.
Felix L. Oswald and G. E. Page, both
contributors to the Popular Science
sion of this opinion. The latter de-
clares that years of study and observa-
ton have forced him to the conclusion
that the disease which manifests the
symptoms popularity supposed to indi-
cate that cold has been caught is to
all intents and purposes filth disease"
that it arises largely from indigestion,
and forms the basis of all so-called filth
diseases. DIR. Oswald earnestly main
tains that instead of "cold weather."
"raw March winds" or l." cold draughts
in other words, outdoor air of low
temperature "-being the cause of colds
or catarrhal affections, it is the warm,
vitiated indoor air that is the cause,
while cold outdoor air is the best cure.
He declares that there is no doubt that
by exercise a catarrh can be gradually
worked off," and that the combina-
ton of exercise, abstinence and fresh
air will cure the most obstinate cold.
There is a maxim worthy of all accepta-
ton that San ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure" but while the
wise will strive to avoid anything that
interferes with digestion, or which de-
praves the vital organism in any man
ner, many will still adopt an improper
mode of living; and, whatever the
cause, people will have colds.

Unlimited Powers of Memory.

The following case, given by DIR.
John Abercrombie, much abbreviated
for want of space, shows most strik-
ingly that memory is power unlimited
in its operation, and that in its uncon-
scious working it is most vigorous and
overmastering where its subjects are
least cultured and nearest the condi-
ton of the animal world. A girl Of
seven years, employed in tending cat
tie, slept in an apartment next to one
occupied by an itinerant fiddler, mu-
stefan of considerable skill, who fire.
quently spent the night in performing
pieces of refined description. She
fell i'll, was taken care of by a lady,
and eventually became her servant.
Some years elapsed, and the family
were often surprised to hear music
during the night AT length the sound
was traced to the sleeping-room of the
girl, who, fast asleep, was warbling in
manner exactly resembling the sweet
est tones of a small violin. 1t was
found that after being two hours in
bed she became restless, and began to
mutter to herself; then, uttering noises
resembling the tuning of violin, she
dashed off, after some prelude, into
elaborate pieces of music, which she
performed in a clear and accurate man
ner. A year or two passed away, and
she began to vary her performance by
initiating the sound of an old piano in
the house, the singing of the inmates,
and further on she began to discourse
on a variety of topics. The business
and truth of her remarks on all sub
| iects excited the utmost establishment
in those who were acquainted with her
limited means of acquiring information.
She was known to conjugate correctly
Latin verbs and to speak several SEN
fences in French. During her par
oxysms it was almost impossible to
wake her, and when her eyelids were
raised and a candle brought near the
eye she seemed insensible to light. Al
about sixteen she began to observe
those who were in the apartment, and
answered questions put to her with as
tonishing acuteness. This affection
went on for ten or eleven years. She
was, when awake, dull, awkward girl
slow in receiving any kind of instruc-
ton, without any. turn for music, OF
apparently any recollection of what
passed in her sleep. DR.. Moffat re-
lates that after preaching sermon or
A" Eternity" to some Africans he heard

being reproduced. On telling him tina

ONE of the forest curiosities of the
Isthmus of Darien and lower Central
Africa is the tree killer matapalo.)
This starts in life as a climberupon the
trunks of large forest trees, and, owing
to its marvelously rapid growth, soon
reaches the lower branches. 1t then
begins to throw out many shoots, which
entwine themselves all around the trunk
and branches, and also erial tendrils,
which, as soon as they reach the ground,
take root. In few years this gigantic
parasite will completely envelop the
trunk of the tree which has upheld it,
and kill it. The whole of the inner
dead tree will then rot away, leaving
the hollow matapalo standing alone and
hourishing.

A volume of poems has recently been
issued, being the favorites of their au-
thors, and by them designated as such
for publication. This is very inter-
esting method, since it affords another
illustration of the difficulty of any one
forming correct idea of his own
auctions " The Chambered Nautilus"
cold Ironsides and "The Last Leaf"
while Lowell's preference is, " What
is so rare as a day in June?" also
" Courtin'." Whittier mentions The
Pageant" The Two Angels " and
The Slaves of Martinique" whereas
his I" Maud Muller " has taken far
deeper hold on the public His "Icha-
bod" too, is the best poetical satire of
American authorship, and is one of the
three best in existence. No one would
think that Lowell would mention either
of the above when he could desig-
nate so mastery production as his
" Extreme Unction." These selections
remind us that Milton considered
" Paradise Regained his finest work,
and that Irving ranked his sketch of
the " Stout Gentlemen " among his
of these authors think very differently,
and this, indeed, is common conclu-
sion. Neither authors nor artists are
judges of their works, and the same re-
mark applies to public speakers. No
orator is correct judge of his efforts,
and sometimes those utterances which,
in his opinion, may seem failure
really produce the finest effects.
