places them in the other species. 1t is
very likely, as DR.. Serene Watson sug-
gests to me, that the two species run
together, and that the California trees
represent variation towards j. Mand-
chourica.
The species might be called with
better propriety the japanese butter
nut. The nuts are borne in long clus-
tiers which often hold from fifteen to
twenty specimens. Nuts are shown,
with the husks on and removed, in the
illustration. The shell is thinner than
that OF our butternut, and the kernel is
sweet and rich, much as in our species.
The tree itself is attractive. 1t appears
to be one of the most promising of re-
cent acquisitions.
According to Luther Burbank, "the
species is of easy culture. 1t accommo-
dates itself to the same soils as it's con-
geners, and grows with great vigor. It
is easily grated by approach upon our
common walnut English walnut?], and
its trunk retains the same dimensions as
the stock; but it is by seed that it should
be multiplied. 1t reproduces itself per-
fectly true, and if the young plants re-
main bushy during the first years, the
tree shoots afterwards, and, thanks to
its rapid growth, promptly assumes
large dimensions. Prof. Wickson SAYS
that the species first gained prominence
in 1881, when the California State Hor-
ticultnral Society referred the question
OF it's botanical affinities to G. P. Rix

only one way to cure Deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an intlamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets infamed you have rumbling

entirely closed Deafness is the result, and

themselves up in the solitude Of their

Woman is prone to believe that she can
read such characters like an open book;
that she has the key to all their mys-
teries. Underneath the marble ex-
terror she sees plenty of plas-
tic material which only needs her
love and tact to leaven into de-
lightful and delighting shapes. Mines
of tenderness, of intelligence, of mag

she repents of her folly in saclScloth and

Your utterly undemonstrative men
seldom make good husbands. Under
stand, however, that there is wide diff
ference between morbid reticence and
mere shyness. The shy man keeps you
at distance from him by shrinking
back from you, the unconfiding man by
holding you at arms length. A lady

the two will do well to give the prefer

THE JAPANESE WALNUT.

A Tree That Is Now Attracting Some At
tention in This Country.
The Japanese walnut, which is now
attracting some attention, appears to
have been introduced into the United
States about twenty-five years ago.
The oldest trees are at Tower House,
Shasta County, Cal, the property
of Charles Camden. There are two
trees. "They bore nuts at eight years
of age" Mr.. Camden writes. '"The
trees grow very thriftily and are hand
some in shape, and are very full and
regular bearers" The illustration is
made from specimens from these trees.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.. Camden
sent trees to General Bidwell, at
Rancho Chico, and they are now bear
ing. These and the two original trees
are the only ones yet fruiting in this
country. The tree is now offered by
some Eastern nurserymen, and we
shall soon hope to know something
definite as to its hardness and capabil-
tiles. The species grows in Northern
japan and is said to be as hardy as an
oak.
Juglans Sieboldiana is closely allied
to j. Handkerchief, another species OF
Eastern Asia, though it is not recorded
as cultivated plant in Japan. DR..
Maximowicz, the author of both species,
says that he has often seen them grow.
ing and knows of no good distinction
between them, except the characters OF
the nuts. j. Handkerchief has oblong
and ridged nuts, while j. Sieboldiana
should have short and smooth nuts. In
shape, the nuts of the specimens figured
(see illustration) are very like those of
j. Handkerchief, but their smoothness

A GIGANTIC RAILROAD DEAL.
Combination of Canadian Pacific, Grand
Trunk and Vanderbilts.


Trunk and vanderbilts.
MONTREAL July pa cable from London
says: Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk stocks
are buoyant on account of the rumored objects
of the visit to this city of Msssrs Van Horne
and Depew. 1t Is now believed that an actual
fusion OF the two roads is not practicable,
although it is generally thought friendly
traffic arrangement will be arrived at, provided
the Grand Trunk adopts pacific attitude toward
the Canadian Pacific. The board of directors of
the Grand Trunk met yesterday and fully dis
cussed the situation with Duncan Mcintyre, in
view of Sir II. Tyler's visit to Canada
new phase developed today in the big rail-
way deal that is going on between the Canadian
Pacific and the Grand Trunk railways that will
form one OF the biggest railroad combinations
on the continent. The idea is to form great
transcontinental pool between the vanderbiIts,
the Grand Trunk, the Canadian Pacific and the
Boston & Maine lines, to work against the
Goulds and other American Pacific roads, with
terminals at New York, Boston, Portland and
Halifax. and line of traas-Atlantic steamers in
connection Herewith. II these arrangements are
carried out, these lines will contest for the traf-
fc OF half the continent The Grand Trunk people
here still claim to be innocent of the deal A
private cable from London says that the rumor
published on Thursday was cabled to London,
and affected both the stocks of the Canadian Pa
cifc and Grand Trunk. A railroad man ia
deal would be that the Grand Trunk and Cana
dian Pacific, working in harmony with Wander
bilts lines, could carry freight from the great
West cheaper and more expeditiousiy to the
seaboard than any other road on the continent
Besides this great saving in agencies could be
effected, il not in the executive working of the
roads. When President Van Horne, of the Cana
dian Pacific, sailed for Europe few days ago,
he carried with him q proposition to pool the
competitive earnings of both systems. under
terms of which the Canadian Pacific 10 to under
take the management of the Grand Trunk lines.
The election of Duncan Mcintyre, of the Cana
dian Pacific inner circle, to seat in the Grand
Trunk directory few days ago was one of the
steps to be taken towards the successful COM
pletlon of the negotiations which have called
President Van Horne to London.
TORONTO, July "a cable from London says:
The sudden arrival of President Van Horne, of
the Canadian Pacific, in London, coupled with
the fact that Chauncey NJ. Depew is also here,
attracts attention in this city. The official
statement is that Mr.. Van Horne is only here on
strictly private business, but the belief in many
quarters IL that the result of his visit will prob
ably be seen in large financial operations.
