Rubber Paving.

notice in the columns of several
foreign engineering journals that for
paving streets India rubber threatens
toenter into competition with aspha. ;:
This new pavement is the invention OF
a MIR. Busse, OF Leydcn, Prussia, who
has introduced itin Hanover. He used
it first in the summer of 1857 for paw
ing the Goethe bridge, which has a
surface of 10,764 square feet. The new
pavement, it is said, proved so salts
factory that about II, 600 square feet
OF ordinary carriage way was paved
with il last summer. The Berlin cor
poration, being favorably impressed
with the new pavement, has had a
largo area paved with it as an expert
ment. Perhaps this is the solution of
necessity for a noiseless pavement to
be used in the vicinity Of court houses,
churches, schools and libraries, where
the car rolling over the stony street is
an insupportabe nuisance.-St. Louis

The Thrifty Jnps.

Most remarkable statements are
those made by Professor Rein, a scien-
fist, who has been investigating the
material resources Of Japan. They re-
veal a national frugality and economy
of marvellous type. The area OF ia
pan is less than that of California Its
cultivated land is less than one-tenth
of its total acreage, yet its products
support IS. 600, 600. The United States
has about 6O,0n0.O0O population. In
Japan 1850 persons subsist from each
square mile of titled land. A people
existing under such circumstances
must from necessity of preservation be
provident, painstaking, hard working,
ingenious and frugal. The Japs APP
pear to deserve all these adjectives.
Agriculture with them is literally
market gardening, because the soil is
required to produce more than any
other place in the world.-Dctroit Free

Another one i heard from Taylor,

his little nephew, who lives out west.
He is boy who is never at a loss for

the most original boy she ever saw in
this way. Ono day this teacher cx-
hibited TO the juvenile class i'll natural

The tus;'is were pointed out and she
asked what they were made Of.
Ivory, was tho correct response.
Now, children, she asked. who can
tell me any articles made of ivoryt'
There was painful pause. No one
appeared to know. The teachers eye

Silent Men.

Men great in deeds are often taci-
turn. Does their taciturnity arise
from the di(Iidcnce Which fears lest
words should exceed deeds. or from a
conviction that safety is promoted by
silcnce2 Washington's reserve made
him stiff. formal ard i'll at ease in
company, but it also prevented his
plans from being betrayed to ssan enc
my. and the country from being de-
ceived by his promises
William the Silent was frugal of
words. because reserve that COIL
cealed his designs. even from those
acting with him. wcs necessary to the
Independence of tho Netherlands.
a writer in Leisure Hours says that
the most dramatic of silent men was
Wallenstein, the antagonist of Gusta-
vus Alolphus. and the commander Of
the cmperor's armies in the thirty
years war. He insisted that tho deep
est silence should reign around him:
His officers took care that no loud
conversation should disturb their gem

would wear clanl,ing spurs in tho
commanders presence had been Sc
cretly put TO death.
In the rooms Of his palace the
servants glidcd as if pllantons, and a
dozen sentinels moved around his
tent charged to secure the silence the
general demanded. Chains were
stretched across the streets in order to
guard him against the disturbance Of
sounds.
Wallenstein'st aciturnity, that rlade

constitutional temperament. lie never
smiled, he never asked advice from

Longevity of Plants.

Plants grow as long as they lis,
and they.live much longer than anl-
mails. * baobab tree in Senegal,
about 100 yards in circumference. was
reckoncd by Adanson to lie over 5.0UO
years old. An oak in Dorsetshirc.
Eng, is thought to be 1000 years old.
AS the baobab is now Known to be Il
fast growing tree, doubt has been
thrown OH Adanson's estimate. Baron
Humboldt thought the dragon tree Of
Teneriife the Oldest tree, but Asa
Gray. in "Johnson's CSclopedia. !"
gives precedence in tree longevity To
