A Whist1ing Tree.

The musical or whistling tree is
found in the West Indian islands, in
Nubia and the Soudan. 1t has a Pc
culiar shaped leaf, and pods with a
split or open edge. The wind passing
through these gives out the sound
which gives the tree its peculiar name.
In Barbados there is a valley filed
with these trees, and when the trade
winds blow across the island a con-
slant moaning, deep toned whistle is
heard from 1t, which, In the still hours
of the night, has very weird and un-
pleasant effect.
A species of acacia, which grows
very abundantly in the Soudan, is
also called the 'whistling tree" by the
natives Its shoots are frequently, by
the agency of the larvae of insects,
distorted IN shape and swollen into a
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 a
musical instrument. equal in sound to
a sweet toned flute--St Louis Repub-
lie

Several years ago Miss Kate Field,
the authoress, visited Atchison, says
The ST. Joseph Herald. While there
she made the acquaintance of a promi-
nent business man, who believing that
she had some ready money, portrayed
to her the profit she would reach by
buying lot in that city. He induced
her to purchase, the price being So, 900.
She paid 81 900 down and the balance
was to come in payments. 1t turned
out afterward that the lot really be-
longed to the man who induced her to
buy, although he had represented diff
ferently. The editor of The Herald
met Miss Field in San Diego nearly
two years ago, when she related the
story of her Atchison purchase, de-
scribed the location of the property,
and said she had received letter from
a friend not to meet the second pay
ment, as the property was not then and
never had been worth more than
81, 900, the amount she had already
paid. We were requested to investi
gate the matter for her and did so.
We had two of the best reliable men in
Atchison value the property. One
placed the value less than 81, 900; the
other thought it might be worth 81, 200.
We advised Miss Field to lose the 81 900
she had paid down rather than pay
the 81, 600 yet due. This is the true
story of Miss Fields real estate deal in
Atchison The deal was clear
swindle for which the city of Atehison
was in no way responsible, but perpe-
trated by man of prominence who
claimed respectabihty.

GENERAL AMNESTY


WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 16.-The
War Department 10 about to announce.
By order OF the President, general am
nesty to 81 600 deserters from the regu.
lar army. Several months ago Senator
Plumb addressed . letter to the Presi
dent upon the subject of army deser
tions. he showed records that since
the date of the last amnesty 20 391 en-
listed men of the u. 8 Army have de
serted. Only $3.50. or about one f 'th,
ave returned to the service BY surren
der or arrest.
There are. therefore" the Senator
wrote, 'over $1,000 deserters at large.
of whom only . small per oentage will
ever be apprehended. They are un-
doubtedly in practically all the walks
OF lite. going about their daily tasks in
constant fear OF arrest and punishment
for an offense which evidences no lack
OF patriotism. and Involves the least
possible moral turpitude."
In conclusion the Senator urged the
expediency of general proclamation Of
amnesty to deserters. The President
expressed great interest. and has since
talked the matter over upon several oc-
casions with the Senator. Secretary
Proctor also became greatly interested.
A new policy toward deserters wa
adopted, and for several months the Ad-
ministration has been more liberal than

The influence of the English ladies
who went into trade as milliners and
dressmakers few years ago has shown
itself in some unexpected ways. Tho
newspapers, especially those devoted
to fashion and the society papers,
treating the advent of the slAkzcd ladies
as a matter of news, published SO much
about them and their shops that the
regular advertisers indignantly de-
manded that similar notices should be
given to them; and, IN consequence,
even the best papers now show col
ums filled with articles IN which there
is scarcely a scrap of real news, and
which the sensible reader soon discov-
ers are nothing more than the frame IN
which some advertisers name is dis
covered
As many of the shopkeepers sell
similar goods, repetitions are inevita-

series of puffs really good reading,

Harkness story, and finds, too late,
