condemning the requested participation
of the Pope in the Chicago fair, and
suggesting that instead of relics, the in
struments of torture used by the Inqui-

Trees Near the House.

A reliable authority on matters re-
lating to the aspect and surroundings
of a house considers that no single
tree should stand within some feet of
it, no garden within several yards and
no woodland, with its carpet of decay
ing leaves, within at least half mile
This last estimate might well, it is
thought, be reduced by one-half, and
perhaps twelve to fifteen feet might be
taken as the smallest distance which
should intervene between tree and
house. With this qualification the
proximity of trees to dwelling house
is distinctly beneficial. To insure a
pure and fragrant atmosphere, ''you
must" says writer on the subject,
'accept from nature those tall, green
chimneys called trees, which imbibe
and carry aloft into the air those hurt
full gases which, if admitted to the
lungs and brain, might disease the for
mer and obstruct the delicate move
ments of the latter"

faulty situation, are yet generally
healthy, chiefly because they are en-
vironed with trees which shelter them
from the cold winds of winter and
spring and in summer prevent that
sudden and rapid evaporation which
after heavy rains may generate disease
A most striking example of the use of
trees in preserving and promoting
health occurred some years ago. As
the story goes, man, along the ex-
tremity of whose garden ran ditch,
received no injury from its proximity,
till, in an unfortunate hour thick
row of elders which grew upon the
brink was cut down. Almost imme-
diately low fever attacked the family,
and not only reduced them to state
of great weakness, but returned at
short intervals, till they removed to
another locality. Brooklyn Eagle.
