Tahiti. that large and lovely island OF
the Society Group in Polynesia. could
be greatly increased by judicious i'm.
portations from the flora OF other
countries. So he laid a considerable
part OF the world under contribution,
and in course of time many hundreds
of foreign plants were doing their best
to take root in the soil of Tahiti.
Among the collections were rubber
trees from Madagascar, ebony, teak,
and red cedar from Australia, cotton
from Georgia. hemp from Manila. to-
bacco from Java and the Rio Grande,
cinnamon and nutmegs from the Ma
lay Archipelago, grapes from Madeira
and Teneriffe, coffee from Formosa
and large variety Of grasses and
fruit tree. He established a nursery
near the chief town OF Tahiti and he
has already proved that the larger part
of his plants will succeed in this ia.
vored island. Grape culture. which he
introduced, is already beginning to en-.
rich the country. and 1t is said that
through the efforts OF this man alone
the aspects of the vegetable kingdom
in Tahiti are undergoing a remarkable
change for the better. - Anatyst.

do not exceed manageable dimensions.
She says: I'm the first place. while
the surplus Of women in the United
Kingdom and Germany amounts 10
nearly three-quarters of million and
200. 600 respectively. France in 1881
had q surplus of only 80. 900 women.
and. as a consequence, marriages are
more prevalent in proportion to the
population of France than elsewhere;
and curiously enough-contrary to the
general opinion-France has the small
est proportion of illegitimata births.
The average number of children to a

him by the Adams Express Company,

was only two blocks away, and rode,

to make deposit. Ithad been the orig
inal idea of Amos to buy two houses;
not that he was not satisfied with his
present accommodations. but because he
thought that would be q good invest
