The Green Fir.

A correspondent of the N0rthWesteTn
Lnn6ermaa says green fir trees viii burn
like finder. He saw green tree Of that
species at Whatcom burned half down,
by simply having an auger hole bored
through it, with an upward slant on one
side, so as to create an air draught, and
stuffed with kindling. The interior OF
the tree being thus ignited, the trunk
burned ike torch. That struck the
correspondent as decidedly against fiji
timber as a permanent investment. Hc
thinks that since numerous settlers have
recently gone into the Puget Sound re-
giou, and are clearing farms, the liability
of fires has greatly increased, and will
continue to do so in ratio with the pro-
nress of settlement.

Coin in the Country.

There is considerable coin in our
favored country, according to the report
of the Director of the Mint, although so
many Americans journey in the old
world as to exhaust not less than S70,-
600, 600 Of gold year to pay for their
extravaganees. This year the travellers
drafts on their bankers viii 90 rather
above that sum. However, we have left
in round numbers S64, 900, 900 gold
bullion held by the Treasury as security
for its equivalent in paper certificates.
The bullion Is, of course, uncoined; in
addition we have geld coin S617, 600, 600,
$40, 600, 900 in silver dollars, SIC, 0G0, =

population is 100000, that would
give each of US, great and small, SIC
apiece in hard money. Leaving out the
babies, ana the spectators who do bust

$50 apiece for the rest.-Detroit Free

Treatment of Pneumonia BY Ice.

DIR. Fieandt, writing in DaOdecin,
Finnish medical journal, states that he
has now treated no less than 106 cases OF
Dneumonia with ice, and with the best re-
suits. Though ten of the cases were Of
double pneumonia, only three out of the
whole number succumbed, notwithstand-
ing that the epidemic was by 40 means
slight one. The method adopted was to
apply over the affected lung an India
rubber bag containing ice continuously
for from twelve to twenty-fou- hours
after the crisis. In addition to the local
treatment the patients were given such
medicines as are usually employed, that

Egrnt,s One Lunntic Asylum,

There is but one lunatic asylum in all
Egypt. To that is devoted one of the
unused palaces, which, with its surround
ing gardens, is admirably adapted to the
purpose. Up to comparatively recent
date tho Iohammedans did not regard
insanity so much as a disease as a proof
of divine inspiration. Lunatics were al
lowed to do almost what they pleased 4;
to run naked through the streets, to as
sault persons; and not until their actions
became absolutely dangerous to human
life were they restrained. This was
traced to the early notions of the Chris
tians, who thought all lunatics were either
inspired of God or possessed OF the devil.

The Direct Tax Bill.

1t will be recollected that our
Congressman, L. B. Caswell, was
given charge of the bill for refund
ing to Wisconsin the amount Of tax
pad by this state for the support of
the war. Mr.. Caswell succeeded in
procuring the passage of bill at the
last session of Congress refunding to
Wisconsin a war tax of about $780,
900, which was vetoed by President
Cleveland. Mr.. Caswell is making
an effort at this session with better
hopes of success; it is in no danger
Of being vetoed by Harrison, and on
a canvass Of members of Congress, a
good majority is found in its favor.
Mr.. Caswell is entitled to the thanks
Of the people of the state for the in
terest he has taken in procuring the
refund of this money, which is an act
of Justice.

w ashington Letter.

Chicago has fairly captured the
Worlds Fair as far as the House is
concerned, and it was accomplished
by honorable, straightforward meth
DDS. People who talk about money
having been corruptly used are sim
ply ignorant, or have allowed them
selves to be imposed on by silly sto-
ries told by irresponsible parties.
The general sentiment here is in ia
vor of the Senate ratifying the &C
ton of the House as soon Is posi-
bic so that Chicago may so ahead,
but in the Senate there is a growing
sentiment that there is not time
enough to make the preparations
necessary for a successful fair in
time for the date specified, SO that it
would not be at all surprising if the
fair should be postponed, and some
sort of a national celebration to last
only day or two, in this city, be
provided for the 4ooth anniversary
of the discovery of America.
The necessity for a number of
new public buildings in Washington

Grant Allen on the Education OF
Women.

So prevalent among women is the
aimable wish to please the lords OF
creation, that it may reasonably be
doubted whether they ever do any
thing amtss the motive for which
cannot be traced to this desire.
Though Eve ate the forbidden fruit,
| it is nowhere denied that Adam had
twitted her about the comparative
unimportance of her attainments,
and had bred in her restless appe-
tite for miscellaneous learning which
made her the serpent's easy prey.
Is it not so with our female educa
ton? IF there is anything wrong
with it, are not the men to blame?
If it is true, as Mr.. Allen says,
that the present system produces
literary women, school-mistresses.
and lecturers on cookery, it will
probably be found, on investigation,
that it is precisely those species Of
educated female that the unmarried
male most affects. No doubt fe-
male education is all wrong, if Mr..
Allen says it is, but if he is to set it
right. let him consider whether the
best way to go about it is not to try
and teach a wiser discrimination to
his males. From "The Point OF
View" in March .Scrfbner.
