DR.. Stephen Smith recently read a
paper before the New York Academy OF
Sciences on the sanitary value of trees in
the city. 1t is a ~well-known fact that
during the intense heat of summer there
is more suffering and death from sun
stroke and high temperature in the north
ern cities han in the south, n result
which must be attributed to the absence
of suitable protection. From 5000 to
5000 people die every summer in the me-
tropolis from the effects OF the heat
In the arid, t~reeless streets and avenues
the temperature often runs from 1870 to
$50 degrees Fab, when under the branches
of a thrifty shade tree it will not exceed 20
or so degrees. In the absence of
sheltering trees, the stone and brick
walls act on the principle Of
the regenerative furnace, and absorb the
heat of the sun to yield it up again during
the night. If trees were planted in the
streets, the pavements and sur
rounding walls would be much cooler.
and at the same time trees would
absorb the deleterious gases thrown
off from the lungs and from de-
composing matter, yielding in return a
supply or pure oxygen.
The value of a systematic culture of
trees in all of our large cities can hardly
be estimated. From both a sanitary and
artistic standpoint they are a very desir-
able addition to any large city .-Scienti1c

A LITTLE SUFFERER
CI,ansed, Purified and Beautihed by the
Cuticura Remedies.

1t affords nc pleasure to give you this
.puit oi the cure OF our little ~grandchild
by your Cuticura Remedies. When SIX
months old his left hand began TO swell
and had every appearance OF a large boil.
We poulticed it, but all to no purpose.
About five months after il became "A run
ming sore. Soon other sores formed. He
hen had two of them on each hand, and
as his blood became more and more i'm
pure it took less time for them to break
out. A sore came on the chin, beneath
the under lip, which was very offensive.
His head was one solid scab discharging a
great deal. This was his condition at %
months old, when | undertook the care of
him, his mother having died when he was
a little more than a year old, of consump-
ton (scrofula, of c%ourse). lie could walk
a little, but could not get up if he fell
down, and could not move when in bed,
having no use in his hands. | immedia-
tely commenced with the Cuticara Rene
dies, using the Cuticura and Cuticura
Soap freely, and when he had taken one
bottle of the Cuticura Resolvent his head
was completely cured, and he was improv-
ed in every way. We were very much
encouraged, and continued the use OF the
Remedies for a year and n half. One sore
after another healed, a bony matter form
ing in each one of these five deep ones
just before healing. which would finally
grow loose and were taken out; then they
would heal rapidly. One of these ugly
bone formations | preserved. After taking
a dozen and a half bottles he was compile
tely cured, and is now at the age of 6
years a strong and healthy child. The
scars on his hands must always remain;
his hands are strong, though we once
feared he would never DO able to use
them. All that physicians did Tor him did
him no good. Al who saw the child before
using the Cuticura Remedies and see the
child now consider it a wonderful cure. If
the above facts are OF any use to you. you
are at liberty to use them. Mrs. T.. :.

A traveller recently returned from the
Fiji islands and who brought with him
the skull and bones of a missionary friend
as %curios, declares that the Fijians would
again become cannibals If they had the
opportunity. Even now. he says, one can
not go into the interior of the islands with
safety. The government forbids people to
go into the mountains for fear they will
be baked and eaten. All the clothes the
natives wear Is a loin cloth, and the gov
eminent encourages the chiefs in not in
Producing civilized clothing. The women
though, have some modesty, as is shown
by the fact that only recently eight OF
them were sentenced by the roko, for
some ~offense, TO go mud for fou months.
There is very little education among the
masses, but the missionaries have estab-
hshed a few schools for children.-Ex-

These new mining companies all make
good assay showings Of their ores, or of
ores of adjoining or neighboring mines.
They are not worth the labor making
them. l would rather have a good relia-
BILE assay of the men who are at the head
Of the enterprise. That is all there is in a
mine. When a company starts to develop
a mine it never knows what it is going to
cost until it gets through. Three of us
may go in. The other two may be ready
to put up their full share of the money to
strike the bonanza. 1 may get tired.
They do not want to develop my property
for my benefit, and they become tired and
quit. The mines lie idle for some time,
and finally they sell out tor little or moth
ing, to get rid of it. The purchasers must
have my third, and l get all l put in 1t, or
may be more.
Then another company starts out, and ii
winds up the same way. Finally "a sue
cessor strikes it rich, and the stock be
comes very valuable, but 1t is only after
successive companies have been organ
lied and gone TO pieces. The presumption
is that a.l OF these mines will be good, IL
the persons at the head of them will only
stick together; but there's the rub. and
hat is why an assay of the men is of more
moment than of the ore. -Globe-D Democrat

The lives OF latter-day bipeds are mostly
half-told tales. Dur season ends before
~ninety-nine of a hundred men can reap
more h n few meager first-fruits OF
their harvest. Without any appeal to the
statistics of the Pentateuch, there are rea-
sons to believe that the original average
of human longevity must have been con-
siderably shortened. The stimulant habit
in all its forms has probably reduced our
allotted term 25 per cent. Luxury. early
marriages, medical decisions, overwork,
indoor life. the %grievous hurry and worry
Of civilization, hav all contributed their
share TO the same effect. Not to mention
Hebrew patriarchs, but even with the av-
erage longevity of the philosophers and
poets OF ancient Greece, nine out Of ten
travellers on the higher walks of life could
have reached the goal of their pilgrim
age, instead of perishing exhausted by
the wayside. Now. as surely rs 1000
years ago. time distributes his laurels

tailed term of our present generation that
justice comes mostly too late, and the

The Aual.ne. Help. tho player.

1 believe 1t may be accepted as an axiom
that audiences make actors. An anecdote
Is related OF Edwin Forrest to the effect
that upon one occasion, when playing in
Boston, he stepped to the footlights and
said to one OF those wondrously cultivated
audiences which delight to exhibit their
culture by their silent solemnity: Ladies
and gentlemen, If you don't applaud !
can't act" Irving says hat applause Is
as necessary to the actor as air. But il
applause be essential as an incentive, and
as n momentary rest, To- much more
essential to careful and pa%instaking act
ing is the presence of an audience sufi-
GENTLY educated to understand at least
the general drift Of what one is trying
to do.
1t takes brains to awake brainsl Given
an audience of quick-witted, we'll behaved,
cultivated people, not afraid to express
their appreciation in applause, and any
actor who has a soul will reward their at
tention and enthusiasm by playing at his
best. Emerson never said a truer thing
h this, "We get out of a thing Just
what we take to It," and nowhere is this
more true than in a theater. The law Of
electrical reciprocity between auditor and
actor governs the character OF
every theatrical performance. alike
begets like" To the icy we deal
out ice, to the enthusiastic
we carry the glowing Goals of a divine fire
If, fortunately, 1t burns within us. The
result of this extreme variation In audi
ences Is singular and interesting. Let an
actor play to a succession of phlegmatic
country audiences-though all country
audiences are not phlegmatic by n
means, and after a while he will find a
method growing upon him utterly insult
ed to the more experienced and refined
audiences of u city. So that a travelling
actor needs two methods, one noisy and
explosive, the other quiet and expressive.
