The Music Of Chinese Speech.

There is in China not only an intimate
association between music and poeticl'
speech, but also between music and
speech generally. The Chinese being a
monusyllabic language, depends to a
great extent upon musical intonation to
convey meaning. If you listen to the
conversation of your Chinese lauadrymen
you will discover that their ordinary
speech is almost as musical as the recita-
two secco of the Italian opera.
Many words in the Chinese language
take from three to six different meanings
according TO intonation. These intona-
tions, as DR.. S. Wells Williams forcibly
urges, have "nothing to do either with
accents or emphasis" They are distinctly
musical, and it is much to be regretted
that DR.. Williams was unable, for obvious
want of the musical talent, to study them
from musical point of view, as it is all
but impossible to convey clear under
standing of their nature by description.
There seems to be many variations, but
generally there are four Of these intona-
tions, or shing, named and defined as
follows: One, ping shing, or steven
tone; two, shang shing, or ''rising
tone"; three, k'eu shing, or "declin-
ing tone"; and four, jun shing, or sen
tering tone. - Century.

What an Indian Can Stand.

To show what an Indian can stand
when he has to, may tell of an incident
which hapE ened during the winter was
with them. Toward evening on a very
cold winter day, when it was showing
just little and drifting a great deal, an
Indian came to the log house with Jug
half full of whisky and with his rifle. l
imagine that the jug had been entirely
full of whisky when he started, and by
the time he got to the house he was in
rather a jolly condition. The Jug and
the rifle were taken away from him, and
he was ordered to get to his Yigwam as
as quick as be could before darkness
came on. He left, and was supposed to
have gone to the camp, but early next
morning his squaw appeared at the house
and said he had not como home that
night, and as the night was cold she had
been anxious about him. Then the search
for the lost Indian began.
He was found in one of the sheds near
the barn under heap of drifted snow,
and the chances are that the snow that
was above him had helped to save his
life. The searchers for the Indian had
gone in different directions and it was
his own squaw who, with true Indian in
stinct, had tracked him out, and she
was alone when she found him. Appar-
emily the Indian was frozen corpse. She
tumbled him out of the snow bank and
dragged him down to the creek, where a
deep hole was cut in the ice for the pur-
pose of watering the cattle. Laying the
Indian out on the snow, she took the
pan that was beside the hole, and, fill
ing it repeatedly, dashed pailful after
paiful Of ice water over the body of the
Indian. BY the time the other unsuc-
cessful searchers had returned she had
her old man thawed out and seated by
the fire wrapped up in blankets. There
is no question that if he had been found
by the others, and had been taken in the
house frozen as he was, he would have
died Detroit Free Press.

Effect of Wind ON Trees.

Trees which grow in exposed situations
have their tops always leaning away in
the opposite direction from the prevail.
ing winds and the casual observer con.
cludes that the branches have been bent
by the constant pressure of the wind and
retained their position. Now, although
such trees have the appearance exactly of
trees bending under a gale, still it is not
pressure in that way which has given
them their shape. The fact is, they have
blown away from the blast and not been
bent by it after they grew. Examination
of the branches and twigs will show this.
We hardly realize the repressive effects
of cold wind upon tree growth, which
it partially or altogether arrests, accord.
ing to its prevalence. Conifers show the
effect of this more distinctly than other
trees. Owing to the horizontal habit OF
growth of the branches, they point di.
rectly to the teeth of the gale from what.
ever direction it comes, and cannot, like
the oak, lean over and grow in the op.
posite direction, hence coniierous trees
growing in exposed situations produce
good, long branches on their lee sides,
while on the windy side the branches re
tain their rigid horizontal position, but
make comparatively little growth, which
is simply suppressed.
Example; l measured the branches OF
a Nordmann's spruce, growing in a posi-.
tion fully exposed to the north and south.
One branch on the north side OF the tree
had fifteen annual nodes or growths, and
was seven feet long, and its opposite had
the same number of nodes, but was
nearly two and one-half feet longer, all
the lateral branches being proportionately
long and well furnished. The GaraeR
