Took No Chances.

The late Emperor Dom Pedro of
Brazil once gave audience to u young
engineer who came to show him IA new
appliance for stopping railway engines.
The Emperor was pleased with the
thing and said:
"We will put IL at once. to a practI.
cal test. The day after tomorrow
have your engine ready; we will
have II coupled to my saloon carriage
aud then fro away. When going at
full speed 1 will unexpectedly
give the signal to stop, aud then
we will sec how the apparatus works"
AT the appointed time the Emperor
entered his carriage and the engineer
mounted his engine, and on they went
for a considerable distance; indeed
the young engineer began to suspect
that the Emperor had fallen asleep,
when the tram suddenly came to a
sharp curve round the edge of a cliff.
OH turning which the driver saw to
his horror an immense bowldor lying
on the rails.
He had just sufficient presence of
mind to turn the crank of his brake
and pull up tho engine within couple
Of yards of the fatal block.
Here the Emperor put his head out
of the window and asked what they
were stopping for. The engineer
pointed 10 the piece of rock, on seeing
which Dom Pedro burst into a merry
laugh.
"Push the thing on one side!' he
called out TO the engineer, who had
jumped down from the locomotive,
and when the latter in his confusion
blindly obeyed and kicked the stone
with his foot 1t crumbled into dust.
1t was block of starch that Dom
Pedro had ordered to be placed on the
rails the night before. - Boston

upright and the other growing almost at
right angles. The foliage has been
trained to grow only at the extreme ends
OF the trees branches. where it spreads
out in thick tufts. An examination OF
these strange trees shows the infinite care
and patience which has been expended
upon them. Every branch and twig
has had throttle upon it in the shape
of strings of fibrous bark. When too
much vigor has been demonstrated in
one branch it has been tied down and its
circulation of sap improved. When a
limb has grown too large an incision has
been made in the bark and the woody
center cut away. Either from this or
from natural causes the cypress has de-
cayed, presenting a hollow trunk. This
process OF dwarfng trees is practiced
only in Japan, and the two specimens
here are the best examples afforded by
the imperial gardens. Thirty-six cases
of plants have been shipped from Japan
by its Government. and these will be
used in decorating the Japanese temple.

Commission, received the consignment,
