Natural Ornaments and Playtbings.

The seeds known as Nicker beans and
Bonduc nuts, species of Guilandina, are
often used for bracelets, necklets and
rosaries, and are very ornamental when
capped and set. Baskets and other fancy
articles made of them are very common
in most museums. There are two species,
G.. Bonducella, the seeds Of which are Of
a gray leaden color or slaty olive green;
and q. Bonduc, which are pale yellow or
orange colored. In the Malay Archi-
pelago these seeds are used as counters
and playthings by children in place OF
marbles. and on the Gambia in playing
a game called warree-warree. In Bonn
bay, strung upon red silk, they are worn
by women as a charm. and also in Egypt
by women and children as amulets
against witchcraft and sorcery.-Cham'

II Is seldom that the salient points of
a great and complex national question
have been more happily selected, or
more plainly and convincingly put than
has been done by President Harrison in
his recent letter to the chairman of the
Commercial Congress at Kansas City,
Missouri In this letter the President
explains the vital Importance of protec-
ton TO the great West. With tact
and vigor peculiarly his own he exposes
the fallaey Of the "reformer's" cry
for cheapness in three simple sentences.
1.-THE farmers insist" he says, "that the
prices Of farm products have been too
low, below the point of fair living and fair
profits. think so, too, but | venture
to remind them that the plea they make
involves the concession that things may
be too cheap. A coat may be too cheap
As well as corn" The entire letter is &
mastery production In its bearings
upon this great National question; and
one which shows the deep interest
which President Harrison has in the
welfare Of the people, and. as he says
In concluding his letter, IAN earnest
desire that every individual and every
public act Of my life shall conduce to
the glory Of our country and the pros
pcrity of all our people,"

Individual Forestry.

- The planting of tree is one Of those
simple but happy privileges within the
reach Of the many. Even the narrowest
city lot offers some opportunity, while
with the average county place only
determined indifference stands in the
way. The inducements are many, and
cannot be too warmly urged. Looked
upon as an investment, merely, a
tree is one of the safest character.
While men sleep, it grows on; and,
all unnoticed, perhaps, steadily in-
creases in size, beauty, and value.
Not only does it promise its own
er present enjoyment Of shade. fruit
or pleasure to he'eye, but in the end,
far OUTLYING him, secures to his memo
~ kindly sort of posthumous fame.
Some men have desired nothing better
of posterity than that it might remem-
Der them as its benefactOr in this respect
The gentleman who eleven years ago
planted the eastern avenue of the cam
pus of Cornell University with row Of
elms, did deed as fine in its way as that
of the founder of the college itse f.
Though this was an act worthy OF
more frequent imitation, no man need
wait to find public institution wherein
to bestow benefits of this nature. The
need is very widespread. Every door
yard, every street front, every country
lane and road offers opportunities ready
to his hand, MANY Of which still go
unnoticed. but which, properly awaited
of, would soon surround US with the
subtle beauty, the comfortable shade
and the healthful influences Of growing
trees.
Tree planting is however, often neglec
ted from a mistaken notion that trees
require very long time to come t, any
thing. On the contrary, many Of the
best of our shade and ornamental trees
are quite rapid growers, and especially
with little encouragement. from the
hoe and the compost heap, will, in few
years, reach a size and development
most gratifying to the planter. The
naples, the birch, beech, linden, many
conifers and the various poplars are
rapid of &owth.
