What Constitutes a Tree.

There are shrubs so tall and &c
vigorous that they may we'll be con-
sidered trees, and there are trees so
low and of such feeble growth that they
hardly deserve the name OF trees.
Really there is no hard and fast line
which separates a tree from a shrub,
and any classification of plants Viii
attempts to separate trees from shrubs
must be purely artificial, and, there
fore, unsatisfactory. The best defin-
ition of tree we have seen, and one
that goes a long ways towards answer
ing this perplexing question, was pre-
sented by Mr.. b. f. Fernow to the Bo-
tanical Club of the American Associa-
ton, at it's recent meeting at Columbus.
Trees are woody plants, the seed OF
which has the inherent capacity OF
producing naturally, within their ma
tive limits, one main erect axis, not
divided near the ground, the primary
axis continuing to grow for a number
of years more vigorously than the
lateral axis, and the lower branches
dying off in time" is Mr.. Fernow's
definition of tree, and it is sound
and philosophical one.-Forest and
Stream.

FORESTS OF ALASKA.
The Almost Ircxhaustible Timber Re
sources of Our Arctic Territory.

The Almost IrcxhaustIble Timber Re.
sources of Our Arctic Territory.
The prevailing forest tree OF Alaska,
says Mr.. George Davidson, of the
Coast Survey, is the Sitka spruce.
growing to great size, covering every
part of the ground, and climbing the
steepest mountain sides to the height
of 1000 or $500 feet above the sea.
This tree resembles in form and
foliage the silver frs of California. In
the Archipelago Alexander, with a
shore line of more than 1900 statute
miles, the land is dersely wooded from
the waters edge. 1t can never be de-
vastated by forest fires, because the
carpet of wet Spha5natn over the sur
face of the country ctfectually pre-
vents fires from spreading.
We measured felled spruce trees that
were 1S0 feet long and 4 feet thick at
the butt; while diacent standing trees
measured over feet in diameter, were
branchless for over so feet, and esti-
mated to be $50 feet high.
Hemlock, alders, and willows are
found; but the most remarkable wood
of the country is the yellow cedar, with
fine, even texture, fragrant smell, good
size, and greater strength than the
spruce. 1t is readily worked. takes a
smooth surface. and is remarkably dur
able. 1t is valuable addition to the
cabinet woods, and is superior as ship
timber to any on the coast.
1t can be obtained of ample size for
frames and knees for ordinary sized
vessels. We measured one Is feet in
circumference, and estimated it to be
over 125 feet in height. We collected
part of the keelson and frame of Il
Russian vessel built Of this wood thirty
two years before, and which had been
lying q wreck on the beach for several
years. 1t exhibited no signs of decay
nor of tercdO attacks, and the wood
around the copper and iron bolts is
nearly as well preserved as on the day
they were driven.
On Kadial1 Island the forests cease
toward the south. The yellow cedar
does not grow on the northeast part of
the island; but the average size of the
spruce is less than two feet in diane
ter.
Hemlock is found in abundance, and
has its value for tanning purposes.
When the forests of Washington
Territory and Oregon are exhausted,
Alaska will be the great and our al
most ipexhaustible resources in the
future.

HAPPILY MARRIED.
An Indiana Native Explains His Compact
with His wife.

An ln0lana NaIlVo ENplatHs AAA5 OSANR~'
with His Vile.
There are some queer characters IN
the White Cap section of Indiana, and
gentleman who recently Travelled on
business in that part of the country re-
lates the following conversation ne
had with citizen Of one of the little
towns.
"lve got the best wife you ever see,
said he. "She is 4, Swede or some
thing like that. Her mother was q
Swede or Norwayer or Denmark
woman, you understand, but my wife's
American to the backbone. She Is
saving, hard-working, modest Chris
tian woman, goes to church, has her
pick among the women for friends,
never gossips or quarrels, and just
naturally likes to go out with me once
in great while in a wagon and get
dinner somewheres away from home.
That's the best fun she has, and like
it in her. I'd be a-scared something
was wrong with her if she didn't like
fun. Well, now, I'll tell you what
done with her when we was first mar
ried. amt sorry, neither. ! thought
it all over again and again, and then
up and says it to her. Look here,
says l, we're married, and we cam
tell what day will bring forth. Now
If it should happen that you see any
one you liked better'n me, and you
should do me wrong, why, I'll tel
you now, once and for all, what I'd do.
| wouldn't git up and stomp arounl a
ten-acre lot, nor l wouldn't shoot, nor
| wouldn't get no divorce, nor hare no
scandal. I'd just give you my house
and half what money had, andrd sell
out my business, and I'd go away.
You wouldn't want to follow ne nor
ever see me again. I'd take tie chill
lren, because you wouldn't be the
ikeliest one of the two to bring up
children Greet
That's what l said to her knowing
she was the salt of the earn, but not
knowing what might happen. Didn't
| do right? Pshaw! she's an angel on
earth, that's what she is but she un-
derstood me-"
did she ask you wha; was to hap
pen if you were ever to blame?"
"Pshaw, no! Women don't ever ask
man that. Don't know why they
shouldn't, though. The women folks
are getting kinder high-headed,
though, amt they, nowadaysF
Shouldn't wonder if things will stop
being one-sided now, as | hear they
are making their own livings and
crowding the men. Teach woman
business and she'll be business, same
as man. "-Indianapolis Letter.

Extravagent Prices That Prevailed in tho
Early Gold-Minlng Days.
The California Bancroft in his his
tory of the Golden State gives the fol-
lowing specimens of prices in 1.-The
days OF 49," A man would pay $500
for horse worth Sc a month before,
ride it to the next camp, turn it loose
and buy another when he needed one,
provided he could scrape from the
ground the cost of the animal more
easily than he could pay for the feed of
one for a week or two. Again, it
is related that on the Tulare plains an
emigrant sold his cart and a pair of
oxen to a Frenchman for $780, The
gold was weighed in improvised scales
and the emigrant fancied the French
man was cheating him, but said moth
ing. On reaching Suffers Fort he
weighed the gold again and found it
worth $1,000.
O articles in continual request sales
are reported of flour at $500 barrel
and OF sugar. coffee and pork at'$400
for the same bulk. A pick. shovel,
tin pan, pair of boots, blankets and a
gallon of whisky brought 800 each.
Eggs were $3 each; drugs In liquid
form, 81 drop; pills, 81 each; doc
tors visit, 800, or $50, or nothing; a
cooks wages, $25 a day; the hire of a
wagon and team, $50 day; the hire
of rocker, $3.50 u day. A box of
sardines in 184S cost at Colima store
SIG; pound of hard bread, 81; bot
tie of ale, So; a total, $26 for moder-
ate luncheon.
Now for the resultant prices even in
the great market and port Of entry,
San Francisco-this,t too, although food
was abundant at the sources of supply,
the cost accruing mainly from the
difficulty OF conveying it. At the City
Hotel you paid 81 for meal consist
ing OF Il small slice of boiled beef in
different bread, and worse coffee. Now
and then guest would buy potato
for % cents. At Wards Hotel Il plato
of Julienne soup cost 81, an omelet 50.
At Ward the price of room, with
out board, was $3.50 week; for one OF
a dozen or fifty hunks in a lodging
roomyou might have to pay $50 week.
Offices and stores were leased for
sums ranging as high as Sc, 900 month.
A cellar twelve feet square could be
had for Il law office at $3.50 a month;
for desk room of five feet at the end
of the counter the price was 800.
A moderate charge for board and
lodging of the humblcst kind was
$50 month. On the other hand the
prices of wine were low compared With
those of food and malt liquors, owing
to large importations. Thus, although
ale, porter and cider were quoted at s.
a bottle, claret, sherry and Madeira;
stood at 81, So and 81 respectively.
while champagne and old port could
be had in pint bottles at So so and 81. Is,
Whisky and brandy were very low, SO
were raisins and cigars.
