A Luminous Tree.

One of the most remarkable of trees
or shrubs grows near some springs
about IL miles north of Tuscarora.
1t is six or seven feet high, with a
trunk which ut its base is three times
the size of an ordinary mans wrist.
1t has numberless branches and
twigs, and resembles somewhat the
barberry. Its truly wonderful char
acteristic is its luminosity, which is
SO great that on the darkest night it
can be plainly seen mile away. A
person standing near could read the
finest print by its light,
It's foliage is extremely rank, and
it's leaves resemble somewhat those
Of the aromatic bay tree in shape,
size and color. The luminous prop
erty is due to gummy substance,
which can be transferred to the hand
by rubbing and with the tranfer the
phosphorescent light, while that on
the leaf disappears. The luminosity
is thought to be due to parasitic
form. The Indians regard it with
superstition and will not come near
it even in daytime. They give it a
name which means witch tree

English View Of Our Cooks.

The American is an admirable cook
in theory; in practice indeed ho
may fail. The rush of modern ideas
Is too great for him. The sewing ma
chine, the reaper and the corn ele
vator take up too much time. The
application of electricity and steam
to the arts of peace and the ever pres
cnt cares brought on him by the
working Of the finest constitution in
the world distract him from his boil
ing and his baking He has indeed
the same interesting reason for neg
lecting his clam chowder and his
baked pork and beans, that most in
genious and admirable of all Ameri-
can kitchen products that our King
Alfred had for letting his hostess
cakes burn-immersion in the poll
itics of his country.
Nevertheless the native born Amer
lean has invented greatly. Clam
chowder itself, as a mere work of
art, reflects as much credit on his
1ation as vol au vent tinanciere
brings honor to France Black and
White.

working Days NJ the World.

Nations" forms the subject of some
interesting data given by Polish
statistician. Orthodox Russia, with
her hume, ous saints days and secu-
lar holidays, naturally stands at the
head of the list as the least laboriorls
Of civilized nations.
The names of the countries enum-
Grated, with tho number of their sta
tutory working days, are thus given:
interior Russia, 267; Canada, 27S;
Scotland, 275; England, 27S; Portu-

Norway, 3o2; Sweden, 3o4; Prussia
and Ireland, 305; United States, So6;
Holland, 3Os, and Hungary, 3l2.
If these figures be approximately
correct, they are, to say the least of
them, not little surprising. While
the orthodox Russian, who knows
his saints calendar by heart, is the
least laborious, the Hungarian car

The Boston Fruit and Produce Ex-

Promises.
BosroN, May 22-An indignation meet
ing of the Boston Fruit and Produce Ex-
change has been called to take action
against the failure of the New Haven road
to keep its promises made at the legisls-
tive hearing recently. The decision of the
investigating committee did the fruit men
no good, they say, and a protest will be
entered addressed to the legislature as a
whole.
The exchange claims that the fruit mer-
chants of Boston had twenty-one cars of
fruit arrive in this city this morning at
$50 which should have been received at z
o'clock, or before. The fruit was mostly
berries, and coming as late as it did the
merchants are heavy losers. The exchange
further claims that the New Haven road
agreed, while the investigation was being
carried on. that 1t would ship the fruit
60 1t would arrive at the New England
depot instead of the Providence depot, as
the Produce exchange asked, in order that
the fruit might be received at an earlier
hour. This, the merchants say, has not
been done, and all complaints from them
have been UNDECIDED.

Fall Rivers Mayor Will Hunt Kit

FALL RIVER, May 22-The work of
prosecuting illegal liquor sellers has been
so relaxed during the past two or three
days that stories intimating bribery of the
mayor, board of aldermen and city marshsl
have been freely circulated. At meeting
of the aldermen to night Mayor Coughlin
made powerful speech, resenting the in
situation that he had been bribed, and
called upon the board to support him In
the enforcement of the no-license law and
thereby give the lie to their sccusers.
A long discussion took place during
which 1t was said that $40, 600 was to be
divided among members of theboard andthe
marshal. It was finally voted to sustain the
mayor and marshal in their endeavor to
enforce the law and the mayor promised
that kitchen barrooms would be hunted to
their death.
