Plant Shade Trees.

Mr.. Peter Henderson, one of the best
known seedsmen of the country, has some
thing to say, In late number of HdrDer's
Magazine, about the street trees Of Wash
ington. There are in that city s., Ola shade
trees of forty different varieties, planted
since 1873, and extending over nearly 12O
miles of asphalted streets, and Mr. Hender-
son thinks that the most useful Of them all
is the Carolina poplar, which extends over
ten miles. There are IS miles of white pop
lar, 10 of ash-leaved maple, of Norway
maple, and So of 81 other varieties, and the
care bestowed upon them is such that many
Of them form arches over tho roadways
They cost the city a considerable sum of
course, but the amount paid out for their
care is a trife when the comforts and bene-
fits which they afford are considered
In the first place shade trees add to the
healthfulness of cities. In the winter they
obstruct, to some extent, the cold winds,
and make shelter from the chilling rains.
and in the summer they afford protection
from the sun, the hot rays of which might
otherwise cause sickness Since Washing
ton became a sort of city in forest malarial
diseases there are said to have decreased
considerably. 1t goes without saying that
shade trees greatly beautfy cities and add
to the comfort of citizens, but. more than
this, they attract new Corners
Savannah is quite generously provided
with shade trees, and they are one Of the
most attractive features OF the city As

well afford t. have more
There are comparatively few well shaded
towns and villages in Georgia. One may
be found at long intervals, but as a rule the

The Work of Arab Slavers.

A gust of wind the other day upset
an Arab slave dhow, and 100 hapless
wretches who were sailing to slavery
in Arabia were drowned in sight of
the English cruiser which was on the
way to rescue them. In the same week
another SLAYER was captured after
hard fight, in which a number of the
forty slaves on board received bullets
intended for their captors. That the
export slave trade of the east African
coast is still active is attested by the
fact that in two years nearly fifty of
these slave dhows have been captured;
yet the punishment inflicted upon the
guilty slave stealers does not debar
others from engaging in the perilous
but profitable business.
Recent facts collected by the agents
of the Anti-Slavery society of England
show that slaves We're never cheaper
In Arabia nor more numerous than at
present. There has been a great re-
vival of the slave trade in the Soudan,
and the followers of the Mahdi have
sent many hundreds of their captives
to the coast to be dispatched across the
Red sea in the night to markets in Ara
bia. Even the daughters of wealthy
Khartoum merchants have been con-
signed to this terrible fate. The mar
kets for which the dhows ship their
loads of bondsmen at many an unfre-
quented point along the coasts of the
Red sea and the Indian ocean are
mainly in Arabia and Turkey. The
present khedive of Egypt, who owns
no slaves, and who pays wages to the
bondsmen whom his father left behind
him, is apparently powerless to pre-
vent slave shipments from parts of his
western coast, which, few years ago,
he ordered kept clear of slavers.
A recent writer in an English review
after picturing the fresh horrors of this
revived traffic, sees no hope of again
sitting the trade without rigid patrol
of some thousands of miles of coast
This costly expedient could at best ac-
complish only temporary results. The
evil must be attacked at the source of
the trade, and in the regions whose de-
mand for slaves the Arab dealers are
willing to CRAFTY at any peril. Some
day, when Christendom wakes up to
the fact that the export African slave
trade is again in full blast, much need
ed pressure may be brought to bear
upon Turkey to prevent the importa-
ton of slaves. The evil will never be
stamped out until the demand is large
ly diminished, and until the natives
learn through contact with civilizing
influences to prefer legitimate COM
merce to the criminal traffic which the
Arabs encourage.-Nea0Y York Sun.

Origin of fPottery-Ware.

Every man, no doubt. used his
gourd as gourd alone. But as time
went on he began at last, apparently,
to employ it as model for pottery
also. In all probability his earliest
lessons in the fictile art were purely ac-
cidental. 1t is common trick with
savages to put water to warm on the
campfire in a calabash or gonrd with
wet clay smeared over the bottom to
keep it from burning. Wherever the
clay thus employed was fine enough to
form mould and bake in shape, it
would cling to the gourd, and be used
time and again in the same way with
out renewal, till at last it came to be
regarded almost as component part
of the compound vessel. Traces of
this stage in the evolution of pottery
still exist in various outlying corners
of the world. Savages have been noted
who smear their dishes with clay; and
bowls may be found in various
museums which still contain more or
less intact the relics of the natural OBJ
ject on which they were modelled. In
one case the thing imbedded in the clay
bowl is human skull, presumably an
enemy's.
In most cases, however, the inner
gourd or calabash. In proportion as it
was well coated up to the very top with
a good protective layer of clay, would
tend to get burned out by the heat of
the fire in the course of time; until at
last the idea would arise that the
natural form was nothing more than
mere mould or model, and that the
earthenware dish which grew up around
1t was the substantive vessel. As soon
as this stage of pot-making was arrived
at, the process of firing would become
deliberate, instead of accidental, and
the vessel would only be considered
complete as soon as it had been sub
jected to great heat which would
effectually burn out the gourd or Gala
bash imbedded in the center.-Popu-

William and the "salamander." +"

Emperor William is thorough SOL
dier; he is also clever commander and
often makes speeches:
Father and son did not resemble each
other in their speeches. The Emperor
Frederick spoke quietly, cleverly, and
with precision, not a word too much
much or too little. An expert short
hand writer has, however, difficulty in
keeping up with FmperorWilliam The
words tumble over one another; but it
all sounds concise and short; he takes
possession of you and fascinates you,
and his hearers feel that he knows
what he wants. His voice is rather
harsh, which enhances the military
impression it makes. At Konigsberg
in 1885 review of the troops was held,
and afterw ard at a students drinking
bout the prince commanded a .sala-
mander' with such precision that all
the glasses struck the table together,
not one student being behind the 9TH
ers. Emperor Friedrich laughed
when he heard of this. He had prob
ably not yet discovered this talent in
his son. ''Always soldier, even when
commanding a salamander," said he.

A Pretty Conceit.

man to an Evening San reporter quite
recently.

The gentleman ran his hand into his
vest pocket and produced silver dol
lar with a monogram on one side only.
He handed it to the reporter, who
turned it over and over and examined
it from many sides of observation, but
failed to catch on to the secret.
'.Well, what's this got to do with
photograph-caseP" asked the reporter.
The gentleman laughed mildly. He
was immensely pleased with the re-
porter's perplexity. my dear fellow,
don't you see the silver dollar contains
a photograph of the sweetest, most in
telleetual face you ever SAW"
The reporter began a minute investi-
cation of the coin, but SO perfect was
the workmanship that he could not
detect any opening into the 'in-
terror.
The gentleman took the coin. and by
giving a quick touch upon an invisible
spring the case flew back and the
laughing features of lady were dis

"But aren't you afraid you'll spend

Famous .Little Breeches."

1t was during Ben Foraker's school
boy days that the incident occurred
whose relation in the newspapers years
afterward won for him in his first gub-
ernational campaign in 1888 the sobri-
quet of Little Breeches."
One very busy summer when or 9
years old and going to a summer school
his pantaloons gave out They had
previously been patched by his in
dustrious mother in the late evenings
after Ben had gone to bed. But now
they had given out beyond the possi-
bility ot any more patching.
The day this happened. while poor
blushing Benny was studying at school
and trying as best he could to hide the
rents in his pants, his loving mother
was planning and contriving how she
could rig him out with a new pair.
Her sister, Julia Scott, had come
over that morning to help with the
DAVIS work So Julia Scott and Mag
gle Foraker put their wits together to
see what they could do in the matter
of breeches for poor Benny.
Haven't you any cloth at all in the
house?" asked sister Julia Scott. mo
old thing you could make over-no
nothing?"
No; nothing but that jeans in the
loom, and / have no time to weave"
Now, Maggie, Just think" persisted
Ben's ssympathizing Aunt Julia, haven't
you any old bag that we could cut up?"
why, we bought new sack of cof-
fee when the men were coming to hx
the DAM The coffee sack is double
and the inside sack is pretty good,
strong stuff"
'.Get it." said Aunt Julia, land I'll
help you make the breeches. Wen
make it do somehow"
That night when blushing and hon
est-hearted Benny came home from
school, he was told that he should have
a new pair of pantaloons in the morn
ing.
The next morning Ben put them on
with some disappointment in his heart
and countenance.
While his mother was putting up his
dinner for him to carry to school Ben
sidled up to her, and with tears in his
eyes, a tremble in his voice, and deep
sorrow in his sensitive soul, said:
.'Mother, can't wear these breeches
to school. All the boys and girls will
laugh at me-
.'Oh, never mind" said the CHEEKY
voiced mother, kindly hiding mother
ly sympathy that was paining her own
heart Never mind. Let 'em laugh
if they want to. You just study hard.
and when you get to be smart and
learned man nobody will ask you
what kind of breeches you wore when
You went to school"
So Benny went to school in his cot
fee-sack breeches and ''let 'em laugh. "
