 Trees and Plants
 At warthenstein, in Germany. there is perhaps one of the most curiously original collections of books extant. This consists of a botanical collection. outwardiy the books present the com mon appearance of block of wood, and that is the first impression: but minute examination reveals the fact that each is a complete history of the particular tree which it represents. At the back of the book the bark has been removed from a space which allows the scientific and common names of the tree tO be placed as a title. One side is formed from the split of the tree, show ing its grain and natural fracture: the other shows the wood when worked smooth and vanished One end shows the grain as left by the saw. the other the finely-polished wood On opening the book it is found to contain the fruit, seeds, leaves and other products of the tree. These are supplemented by a well-printed description of its habits, usual location and manner of growth. 1t fact, every thing hich has a bearing upon that particular tree secures a place in this wonderful, useful and valuable collection. Here is & precs- dent for the botanical societies to adopt, and although doubtless expensive, yet it will certainly repay in its utility Christian at Work.

SAN ANTONIO Ten, May 9-The general
impression yesterday afternoon was that
the drowning Of young j. NJ. Wesson and
his six months old babe was a suicide ard
murder, deliberately planned, but inquiry
by reporter shows it to have been an UNI
fortunate accident, but one where there
was great deal of carelessness shown. Mr..
Martin Of Uvalde, who, with friend of
his, was eating ice cream, was on tie
balcony of Harnishes & Baer's confection-
cry when the double tragedy occurred,
said: "When we took our seat on the
balcony gentleman and lady were sit
man had their baby, which
1 judged to be about eight months old, in
his lap. Just as ! commenced to eat my ice
cream heard splash and a scream, and
ran Immediately to a boat with sadler,
Henry Bohn. and went TO the resuce. We got
the woman. The man was holding the boat
and heard him ask where the child was,
when some one on the bridge replied: cit
is in the river" He then plunged away
from the boat and padded off down the
stream. Thinking he conld swim, we
got the woman ashore, and be-
fore we could get back TO
him he had disappeared, and ] did not see
him again until his body was recovered
Mrs. Wesson, who was taken to Mrs.
Walting's residence, made the following
statement: My husband, the baby
and l had been out to the west
end, and when we returned came
up Commerce street on the way to
cur dinner at the Maverick hotel. When
we reached the confectionery we both fet
warm and he suggested that we get sone
soda. When we got the soda we drank It
leisurely and he walked to the railing over
the water, holding the baby in his
arms. felt uneasy, and went to him to
get the baby, when he put one of his arms
round me and placed the child on his knee.
1t gave a sudden jump, and before either Of
US could realize it, it was in the river,
and he darted quickly after
it, unintentionally, in his haste, carrying
me with him. He never had the slightest
idea of injuring either the baby, himself or
me, but on the contrary, was q most de-
voted husband and father. We have been
married sixteen months, and the baby
was six months DID, and a very
lusty, sprightly one.'
The child's body has not yet been recoy-
cred.
NELSON'S body will be held here until the
baby is found, which will be tomorrow, as
it will rise to the surface in the natural
course of dissolution.
The mother has a high fever. and is in
state bordering on insanity. Her ceaseless
remark is: ''They We're all / had in the
