A MnAicnI Tree.

Accounts of reliable travellers describe a
musical tree, found both in the West In
dies and in Nubia. This vegetable phenom.
enon has II peculiar shaped leaf, and pods
with split or open edge. AS the wind
blows through these it gives out the sound
which gives the tree its peculiar name In
the Barbados there is a valley filled with
these trees, and when the wind blows
across the island a constant moaning, deep
toned whistle is heard, which, in the still
hours of the night has n weird and mourn
full effect.
A species of acacia, which grows very
abundantly in Nubia and the Soudan. is
also called ''whistling tree" by the natives.
Its shoots are frequently, by the agency of
the larvae of insects, distorted in shape and
swollen into globular bladder from one
to two inches in diameter. After the insect
has emerged from a circular hole in the
side Of this swelling the opening, played
upon by the wind, becomes musical in
strument, nearly equal in sound to "A sweet

Mother Wit.

An old French writer of memoirs tells us
that on one occasion Rabelais found him
self in remote province of France without
a sou to pay his reckoning at the inn. He
strolled out, leaving his luggage open for
the inspection of the curious landlord, who
found therein two packages of gray dust
one marked poison for the king" and the
other poison for the queen"
On his return from his walk Rabelals
was arrested by the excited village authori
ties. who conducted him to Paris in tri-
umph, expecting a great reward for their
astuteness.
When they appeared in court with their
victim he was received with shouts Of
laughter and applause for his successful
trick, which had brought him home free Of
cost.-Youths Companion.

ers and all other merchants were
made to pay a privilege tax.
Now let us notice what the State,
counties and cities would have lost
and the wholesale liquor dealers
gained by Mr.. Patterson's smartness
had his revenue bill passed with this
omission.
During the two previous years,
'8Land 'S2, the State collected from
wholesale liquor dealers 500, 1877, and
each county and city in which the
business was conducted were entitled
to collect the same, which made the
total amount of tax paid the State,
counties and cities by wholesale Ii
quor dealers $50, 211. In round num-
bers, had Mr.. Patterson's bill passed,
the liquor dealers would have saved
during the year 1913 and 'S4, 100000
Furthermore, during the two years
81 and '82 the dealers in Mr.. Patter-
sons own city, Memphis, paid over a
third of this tax, the amount paid to
the State being 81, 100, or $4,000
paid by Memphis dealers to the
State, county and city.
Now, it is for Mr.. Patterson to
answer, did he serve as attorney in
this case also? If he did, would he,
as governor of Tennessee, again
serve as attorney for the whisky
dealers, the Pullman Palace Sleeping
Car Co, the State bank depositors
and anybody else who might need a
first class attorney? If so he would
be very dangerous man to the State
for Governor, and all the other law
yers in the State would have to shut
up shop, for Mr.. Patterson would
soon have all of the law practice in
his own hands.

Survival of Dangerous Germs.

1t has been shown by NJ. Esmarch that
disease microbes do not long survive in
corpses, and that, as general rule, the
more rapidly decomposition takes place the
more quickly will the organisms perish.
Experiments were made with nine differ
ent kinds of microbes contained in the
bodies of animals under the various condi-
tons of burial in the ground, keeping I'M
der water and exposure to air. The bacil-
lus of fowl cholera was seldom found after
three weeks, though that of septicemia
survived ninety days, while that of CON
sumption did not lose it's virulence until
from 204 to 255 days had passed. All trace
of the other organisms, including those of
typhoid fever, Asiatic cholera, tetanus and
anthrax, disappeared in from three days to
a week--New York Telegram.

nical knowledge that attorneys have a
right to expect from the clerk and his
