CULTIVATION OF NUTMEGS.
How They Are Grown and Treated in
New Guinea.

Padding into little cave, says Captain
j. P. Strahan in the Glasgow Nail, on the
west side of the bay, we landed beside q
small ripping stream, and baving ordered
the whole of the men to march in Indian
file in front, we started by little rugged
path into the Mountains, with my interpre-
ter Immediately behind me and the raiah
to the front. Every foot of the Journey
which was laborious in the extreme dis
closed fresh scenes of verdure and tropical
splendor. Winding along the sides of deep
ravlpes, sometimes dragging ourselves up
by the creepers and underground, we ulti-
mately attained AN altitude of about 1000
feet above the sea, and then entered the
nutmeg country. Here we halted and
rested. The rajah pulled some of the nut
megs and explained how far they were
from being ripe. Having reste sufficiently
we again started forward, and after scramb-
ling along for about an hour, we gained fine
piece of table land, over which we travelled
for about ar other hour, when we reached
three erected hous es in the very heart of
the forest. These were used by the pa-
tives for drying the nutmegs. The country
was everywhere magnificent, and the aroma
of the spice laden air delicious. Nutmeg
and other equally valuable trees were
everywhere growing in great profuson.
The fruit of the nutmeg in appearance re-
sembles pear, and when ripe opens and dis
plays the nut covered with a beautiful red
coating .of mace. The nuts are then pick d
from the trees, put into baskets and taken
to the houses, where they are husked and
placed on shelves They are then partially
roe sted over slow fire until all the moist
ure is extracted. After this they are cooled
and carried down to the village in nets
ready to be bartered to the Burgis, Arabs
and other traders who frequent the gulf in
their small prows or junkos at the proper
season.

JOHN SCHUYLER CROSBY.
tuted the Libel Suit Against
Young Mr.. Harrison,

The sensation of the country is the ar
rest of Russell B. HARRISON in New York.
at the instance of John Schuyler Crosby,
for an alleged libel in the Montana Lire
Stock Journal, the particulars of which
have been published in the prees dis
patches and newspaper reports. The case
of Crosby Us. Harrison will be called and
tried presently in New York court, Mr..
Harrison in the meantime being admitted
to bail Damages are claimed in the sum
of 100000.
John SCHUYLER Crosby is well known
public man, having been Governor of Mon
tana and Assistant Postmaster General
under the administration of Presidents
Arthur. He was born in Albany county,
New York, in 1889, and was educated at
the University of the City of New York.
Col. Crosby served during the war in the
regular army. He was three times brevetted
for distinguished gallantry. After the war
he served in several Indian campaigns. He
resigned his commission in 1871. In 1876
he was appointed Consul at Florence where
he lived until 1882. He was made Cove
nor of Montana on his return to this
country and in the fall of 1884 Assistant

ship to take it. Col. Crosby is nephew of
DR.. Howard Crosby, an eminent divine of
New York.

Good Advice to Sneculators,

Speculation is business that must be
studied as speciality, and though it is
popularly believed that any man who has
money can speculate, yet the ordinary
man, without special training in the busi-
ness, is liable to make as great mistake
in this attempt as the man who thinks he
can act as his own lawyer and who is said
''to have fool for a client" The COM
mon delusion that expert knowledge is
not required in speculation has wrecked
many fortunes and regulations in Wall
street, and is still very influential in it's
pernicious and illusory achievements.
Professional advice in Wall street, as
in legal affairs, is worth paying for, and
costs far less in the end than the chief
points" that are distributed profusely
around the street, thick as autumn leaves
in Vallambrosa, and which only allure
the innocent speculator to put his money
where he is almost certain to lose it. My
advice to spectators who wish to make
money in Wall street, therefore, is to ig-
more the counsel of the baToom ''tippers"
and "tipplers," turn their backs on
"bucIet shops" and when they want
''points" to purchase let them go to those
who know:-Henry Clews in the Cosmo-
politan.

The Planet Mars.

An Italian Astronomer, Signor Schia.
parelli, has just published an account of
some observations of the planet Mari,
made by him during the years 1877, 1879
and 1882. The conditions upon that planet
are supposed to be not very different from
those existing here; so that it is inferred
animal life exists there. More is known of
the poles of mars than of the poles of our
own planet, and it is easy decided that the
color of the foliage there is red Of recent
years it has been discovered that the sur
face of the land in Mars is gridironed
by lines leading from the sea. 1t was
ascertained by Schiaparelli that the num-
Der of these lines had been materially in.
creased during the interval between the
years 1879 and 1882. The theory advanced
in explanation of these regular lines is that
they are canals, and it is calculated that
they are at least thirty miles wide. The
surface of the land in mars must be more
uniform than it is on our earth for its in
habitants to successfully operate such a
gigantic system ofcanals for any purpose

THE EXTENT OF AUSTRALIA.

Australia contains an area of about
100000 square miles, or nearly that of the
United States exclusive of Alaska Owing
to IFS position at the antipodes of the civil
lied world, this continent longer unknown
than any other country of similar extent.
1t was first visited during the aeventeenth
century was explored along the coast, while
in 1888 colonization began by the trans
portation of shipload of criminals to Port
Jackson. The interior of the country is a
plateau studded with groups of small
mountains, and there are higher ranges
parallel to the east and west coast. There
are some excellent and large harbors in
various parts of the coast, but the greater
part of the shore on the north, the west
and the south, is low and sandy. Nearly
all around the coast and in the east part of
the continent is rich grazing country,
well adapted to the rearing of sheep, which
there were 81, 100000 in 1887. Sheep farm.
ing is the most important branch of indus
try in the country. Speaking generally.
one of the most notable characteristics of
the continent is its scarsety of rivers and
and fresh water lakes. There are few riy-
ers of any considerable size along the whole
coast line of 5000 miles, and in one strip of
nearly 500 miles on the south coast there's
not single water course. There are many
small lakes but numbers of them are salt.
and those that are fresh are more like mar
shes than lakes, being dependent for their
supplies OF water on the rivers and floods
in the rainy season. The entire central
part OF the continent is plain, so desti-

II have never struck my two children" "

day, though l have often been tempted
strongly to it, and sometimes would not
have blamed any parent for doing so. But

good enough man, too, that l always
stood in fear of him, seldom told him the
truth if could help it, and never cOnfidsd
in him. Often / was whipped for errors l
had committed with good intentions, and 1
remember the wild spirit of hatred that
used to come over me at such times, when
smarting under the blows l felt l did not
deserve, would get away by myself and
swear silent but bitter oaths, that would
have opened the old gentleman's eyes 10
his folly, perhaps, if he could have heard
them from so young child. So made
vow that would never beat my own chill
dIen. And now l feel sure that they do
nc. stand in physical fear of me. am
pretty certain they tell me the truth, and
know they confide in me as friend. And
though tney do not obey ne nearly as i'm
plicitly as did my father and make them
selves much more of a nuisance to me
than / was to him, yet they don't regard
ME as q bully, and that is something.

The Speed of Thought.

Some our readers have no doubt made
use of the expression, quick as thought,
but have any of them ever stopped to con-
slider how quick thought is? A writer in
the Nineteenth Century has made some in
teresting calculations regarding the COM
narrative length of time it takes to call to
mind various every day facts.
IL takes two. o.fifths of second to call to
mind the country in which a well-known
town is situated, or the language in which
a familiar author wrote. We can think of
the name of next month in half the time
we need TO think of the name of last
month. II takes on the average one-third
of q second TO add numbers consisting of
one digit, and half a second to multiply
them Such experiments give US consider
able insight into the mind.
Those used to reckoning can add two to
three in less time than others, those famil-
lar with literature can remember more
quickly than others that Shakespeare wrote
Hamlet" 1t lakes longer to mention a
month when a season has been given than
TO say TO what month season belongs.

have also been able TO register the
sound waves made in the air by speaking
and thus have determined that in order to
call up the name belonging to printed

A letter can be seen more quickly than a
word, but we are so used to reading aloud
tha. the process has become quite auto
matte, and a word can be read with greater
ease and in less time than a letter can be
named. The same experiments made on
other persons gives times differing but lit

ever, take place more slowly in children, in
the aged and in the uneduCated.

Poison in kespired Air.
Boston Journal

Professor Brown-Sequsrd is reported to
have lately informed the French Academy
Of Sciences that by condensing the watery
vapor coming from the human lungs he
obtained poisonous liquid capable Of pro-
ducinS almost immediate death. The
poison is an alkaloid (organic). and not a
microb or series of microbes. He injected
the liquid under the skin of a rabbit and
the effect was speedily mortal without con-
Wilson's. DR.. Sequard said it was fully
proved that respired air contains volatile
element far more dangerous than the car
bOnic acid which is one of its constituents,
and that the human breath contains a
highly poisonous agent. This startling
fact should be borne in mind by the occu-
pants of crowded horse-caIs and i'll ventil-
aied apartments.

Some Old Trees.

The old eak tree at Waltham, which 80
excellent an authority as Professor Alex
sndeF Agassiz said was 700 years OF age
has been cut down. 1t has been dead for
some time, and stood in the path OF mod
srn Improvements. Part of the venerable
tree Will be preserved in the library. The
great oak tree at Woodbridge, which was
cut down few weeks ago, after an exist
ence reckoned at from 1900 to 1000 years,
is to be made into chairs for the members
Of the Quinnipiac Club of New Haven.
This tree was doubtless the Oldest along
the Atlantic coast, although the authorities
differ as to its age, and the largest oak IN
the world. Oliver Wendell Holmes said
the tree was at least 1900 years old, and
Professor Abbott, of New York, who made
a careful examination of the monster eigh-
teen years ago, said it could not be less
than 1000 years old, while Professor Eaton
stands with these authorities by stating
the age of the tree as ranging from 1,5OO
to $4,000 years.

during one of his first strolls in
Capri, saw a beautiful girl, in tire
old costume of the island, bending
over the edge of a frightfu! precipice. Hur-

with emotion the girl turned her head
aside. Come" urged the German, don't

the girl turned her streaming eyes full
upon him, and, starting up suddenly, an

it." The German went away rejoicing; he
had saved the poor CT ature's life. But the
next day, CHANGING to pass the spot, he was
thunderstruck by again finding the same
girl in the same attitude. He was about
to seize her arm, when a loud voice behind
him said "Pleasc, sir, keep on one side
