LONDON, June 5O.-The second ballot on
the amendment of Sir Charles Upper, the
Canadian high commissioner to the Tesolu-
tion by Medley to the congress of chambers
OF commerce of the empire resulted today
in the defeat of the amendment. At the
first days session Medley offered a resolu-
ton declaring that fiscal union between
Great Britain and colonies by preferential
duties, based upon protection, would be
politically dangerous and commercially
disastrous and that the arrangement that
would best conduce to an intimate COM
msrcial union would be for the self govern
ing colonies to adopt, closely as the cir
cumstances would permit, the non pro-
tectivs policy of Great Britain. Sir Charles
Tupper's proposed amendment declared a
small differential duty should be adopted
by Great Britain and the colonies against
foreign imports. When the amendment
came up yesterday it was defeated 70 to "a.
Sir Charles challenged the vote, and a
second ballot was taken this morning and
the amendment was again defeated 80

A reliable authority on matters re-
: lating to the aspect and surroundings
! of house consid iders that no single
tree should stand within some feet
Of 1t, no garden within several yards
and no woodland, with its carpet of
! decaying leaves, within at least half
mile. This last estimate might
well, it is thought, be reduced by
one-half, and perhaps twelve to fit
teen feet might be taken as the
smallest distance which should inter-
vene between tree and house. With
this qualification the proximity Of
trees to a dwelling house is distinctly
beneficial. To insure a pure and
I fragrant atmosphere, you must"
says writer on the subject, accept
from nature those tall, green Chin
neys called trees, which imbibe and
| carry aloft into the air those hurtful
gases which, if admitted to the lungs
and brain might disease the former
I and obStruct the delicate movements
of the latter"
At various points in the country
| may be observed houses which, in
spite of faulty situation, are yet gen.
orally healthy, chiefly because they
are environed with trees which shell
ter them from the cold winds of win
ter and spring and in summer pre-
vent that sudden and rapid avapora-
tion which after heavy rains may
generate disease. A most striking
example of the use Of trees in pre-

goes, man, along the extremity Of

injury from its proximity, till, in an
unfortunate hour, thick row of eld-

only reduced them to a state of great

How Men Garry Thar Hands.

"a sure indication of character is
found in the way in which a man
carries his hands" said c. G. Clark
of Boston. "You notice men on the
streets. See the young man with
swinging arms and palms which are
displayed to all who take the trouble
to look. He is one of that class
whose heart is as open as his hands.
He is frank, unsusplcious, a free
spender, and believer in the hon.
estY of his fellows. Notice the busi-
ness man more advanced in years His
hands are always closed so tightly
that he gives you the impression he
is ever expecting an attack. This is
the attitude of men bent upon a GER
tain object. 1t is the attitude which
displays the qualities of determina-
tiOn and fight. In debate you will
observe some of our lawmakers en-
phaSiZe a statement by hammering
the desk before them with their
knuckles, while others, apparently
equally impaSsiOned, are satisfied
with the use Of the palm You may
rest assured that if sheer determina-

plies his knuckles will win before his
colleague who uses his palm. The
way in which the thumb is held is
also true sign of character The
man who turns it in under his fingers
is always weak. That is the position
in which it is always held by a child.

How Tea Was Introd u ID.

Tea came into use almost by acri.
dent. Some Buddhist priests going
on a missionary expedition f:uu
Northern India to China. took with
them the dried leaves and also some
cuttings of an indigenous shrub
which was said to have the power OF
correcting any injurious properties in
the brdckish water they might meet
with on the way. The deCoction thus
made pleased the missionaries so wei
that they continued, as a matter OF
taste, to drink it after they reached
China, and introduced it to thei'
converts.
They also set about planting the
precious shrub, and although it did
not thrive so well in China as in its
native Assam, becoming smaller both
in stem and leaf II was 50 well liked
that it soon formed the foundation
of the favOrite beverage of all China
Thence it was brought to Europe, tC

of every degree. And it is only OF
late years that Assam tea has
come into the European market, tc
be looked upon rather suspiciously az
the rival of it's own degenerated
Chinese daughter.

the place OF a star has been accurate :
determined by measurement made
with the meredian circle, and when
after lapse of a number Of years the
place of the same star is again deter
mined by observation, it frequently
happens that the two places disagree.
The explanation is that the star has
moved in the interval, and it is inlu-
itely improbable that any fixed stars
exist. The usual method of detc.-
mining the measurements of stars 5
by the telescope and the meridian
circle. But there are some move.
mentS which can not be thus meIs
ured. There are the cases when the
star happens to be darting directly
toward the observer or directly from
him. In such cases the teleScopluq
method is simply inapplicablc. e.

TO MAKE CASTINGS OF DELI
CATE NATURAL OBJECTS.

Abbass recommends, from persona
use, the following process for making
metallic castings of flowers, leaves,
Insects, etc. 1t is modification of an
ancient HindOo process, in which clay
was used lns cad of the mixture here
suggested. The object, say a dead
beetle, for example, is arranged in o
natural position, and its feet are con.
nected with an oval rim of wax. This
is fixed III tine center of pasteboard OF
wooden box by means of bits of fine
wire, so that it is perfectly free, and
thicker wires are then run from the
wax to the side Of the b1x. The re-
channels for the escape of gases. A
conicaI wooden plug, tapering from
top to bOttC m, is next fixed Sc that its
smallest point just touches the back OF
the beetle This to produce a run
way for the casting material. The box
is then flied up With a paste made of
3 parts of plaster Of paris and part brick
dust, made up with solution of alum
and sal-amE oniac. 1t is we'll to touch
the object first with some of this paste
to pre-, ent the formation of air bubbles.
After the paste has set the mould i,
dried slowly, and finally gradually
brought to a red heat, aud allowed to
cool slowly in order not to distort or
crack the mould. The process, of
course, burns out the conical plug and
incinerates the beetle, the fragments of
which are removed partly by shaking,
and completed by pouring metallic
mercury into the cavity, repeating the
operation several times. The thick
wires are now withdrawn, and the mould
heated again, when it is ready for the
casting. When this is finished let cool,
and after softeping the mould with
water, carefully break it away.-Nat.

G'oG onIp.

There is a fog peculiar to some
parts of Nevada called pogonip. A
gentleman connected with the Nevada
Mining Bureau writes this deScrip-
tion: "In the White Pine Noun
tains, the Toyabi, the HykO and the
Parranagat ranges. it is quite COM
mon to see the trees, houses. and
everything ouU in the open gradually
become white without any apparent
cause. There is no perceptible fog,
but the hot air from the valleys grad
ually asCendS up the mountain side,
and, becoming crystalliZed, the mi
mute crystals attach themselves to
anything IN sight This phenomenon
affects human beings in just the same
manner, and when the fog passes by
the frozen particles will adhere to the
HAIR and clothing, producing a
very grOteSque effect. Hot Creek
Valley is situated right in the center
of the mining district, and is so called
because of the warm springs that are
always to be found there. These
springs cause pOgouip in that dis
trict every night, and for this reason:
The wind in the valley always blows
from one direction in the daytime,
and after sunset it invariably blows
from the opposite point. The effect
of the cooler air passing over the hot
valley is to force the heated air to
rise. When it reaches a tempe ature
of about % degrees the result is .
pOgOnip."

Emmanuel, one of the earliest o.
the Dukes of Savoy, is known to
fame as the Turncoat. He obtained
this nickname for a curious reason.
His territories were inconveniently
near to the forces of both Spain and
France, with which powers he found
it necessary to be on friendly terms,
as they were often in the habit OF in.
vadIng his dukedom. However, he
had to side sometimes with the one,
sometimes with the other, according
to which was stronger at the mo-
ment. So he had a coat that wa.
blue on one side and white on the
other. When he took part with
Spain he wore the blue side-the
Spanish color-out; when he wanted
80 stand well with the French he
turned the white side out There
was something to be said for the
poor man in such a fix, but history,
that has no mercy, only knows him
rs the Turncoat. A favorite in.
stance in England of a man who at.
ways took care to be on the right side
was the famous Vicar Of Bray.

oIch1nley's True Elfiai9n of the Tariff Tax
When Kckinley WAS explaining and
defending III the house, in May, 1890,
the tariff bill which bears his name and
mad recently been reported by his ways
! and means committee, he said, with
reference to the paragraph Of the bill
repeating 1.-The provision i'll the law per-
mitting the United States government
to import for its use any articles free of
duty"
"This provision of law has been elm
mated in the proposed revision, and if
approved by the house and senate and
the president, the government, its Off
GERS, agents and contractors will here
after have to pay the same duties which
its citizens generally are required to
pay"
In the same speech he said, with refer
ence to provision in the old law per-
mltting travellers returning from abroad
to import articles as personal effects
free of duty:
"The practical effect of this provision
was that the wealthy classes who were
able to visit distant countries secured
exemption from the payment of duties,
while the average citizen, unable to go
abroad, was compelled to pay a duty
upon the articles which he might want
to use."
In those days Mckinley, fresh from
prolonged study of the tariff, believed
and said that the tariff duties were paid
by "citizens generally" or "the average
citizen'-that they We're, as Senator
Sherman said, takes upon the people"
