The Shade Trees of Washington.

Fourteen years ago the Parking Commission
first began to setout shade trees in the streets of
Washington. Today there are over 65,000 trees,
lining the broad streets and avenues, and filling
the beautiful parks of the city. There is not
city in the Union that has such an abundance of
fine shade trees as Washington, and their value
during the months Of summer when the heat of the
sun is almost uniRdurable is almost beyond cal
culation. There are now in the streets upward
of thirty different species, and it is the intention
of the commission to increase the number to about
sixty different kinds of trees. The American
linden is the most numberous and it is estimated
that there are about nine miles of lindens in the
streets. Expresses, naples, sycamores, oaks, pop
lars and in the lower and lnalarial parts of the
city the Eucalyptes trees are also abundant On
many of the streets, as on New York avenue,
there are four of trees, at each sidewalk,
and two rows in the centre of the street with
park between them, the road being on each side.
Their value as a sanitary measure during the heat
of summer is more than equal to their value as an
ornament to the city, and to their effect in en-
hancing the value of the city real estate. They
are now in the full beauty of the spring foliage,
and in the parks the Towering magnolias are in
full bloom, presenting one of the most beautiful

Liabilities Of Dog Owners.

A savage dog is a possession which
demands from its owner extraordinary
care. Knowing, or being in law pre-
sumed to know, the dangerous nature
Of the property he has in charge. the
owner will be held liable for all damage,
direct or indirect, which may be caused
by such property. 1t has. however,
been held that the fact that a dog is
known to be savage, and that it has at
tackled animals, is not enough to make
its owner liable to man who is bitten
by it, unless he can show that such
owner had knowledge Of the dogs pro
pensity to bite men. A ferocious dog,
accustomed to bite mankind. is 9
nuisance; and, if found at large, may
be killed by any one But he must not
be killed on his owners premises. un'
less about to attack some one. A dog
not naturally savage will sometimes
bite, and in such cases his owners
liability will depend on the facts of the
case. If the dog, Ito gain some pri-
vate ends,'' has chosen to bite an unof-
Tending man or beast his owner must
pay for IL; but II a person will not ''let
; sleeping dog lie,,'' Or otherwise leases
Or preyokeg the animal and Is bitten
therefor, the dogs owner may invoke
the doctrine Of cOntributnry negligence.
A well-trained and good-natured dog
may cause injury to persons or prop
erty; should he do so under direction Of
his master, the latter will of course be
responsible. -American Agricult9rast.

Opening Of Parliament.

The British Parliament opened on the
10th. The Queens speech WAS as t0!toWs:
My Lords and Gentlemen-I have sum-
moned you to meet at thu Unusual season
for the transaction OF Indispensable bust
ness. The session OF the last parliament
of the year had been completed, in order
that the sense OF my people might be
taken on certain important proposals
with regard to the government OF Ireland.
The result OF that appeal has been to con-
firm the conclusion to which the late par
lament had come. The provisional ma
ture OF the arrangement made by the last
parlian,ept for the public charge OF the
year renders n inexpedient to postpone
aanea sesaton asntemen Of
this House OF COMMONS: The esti-
mates which were submitted to
the last parliament and only
partially voted viii be laid before you. My
Lords and Gentlemen: At q period Of the
year usually assigned for the RECESS, and
after the prolonged and exceptional iabors
to which many OF you have been subjected
to, abstain from recommending now Tor
your consideration any measures except
those which are essential to the conduct oil
the public service during the remaining por-
ton OF the financial year. l am confident
that they will receive your prompt and
eafsful attention.

sions by an exhibition of class work in

ed by the teacher. Each pupils knowledge
and standing in her class is thus clearly
shown to all those interested in her work.
The exhibition OF this kind held at st.
Joseph's academy this year, spoke volumns
for the system OF teaching employed by the
sisters. Rarely ia neater and more salts
factory school work to be seen. The ques-
tions in all the various studies were OF the
most searching kind, and the answers were
models OF clearness and precision. All the
numerous visitors to the academy during
the days the exhibition lasted were loud
in their praises of what they saw, and de-
clare it would be difficult for parents to
find more satisfactory school for their
girls. As a result the sisters received q
number Of applications for circulars from
persons who propose to send their children
