TREES AND THEIR AGES.
They Are the Only Forms of Nature Which
 Accurately Record the Years.

Accurately Record the Years. T Elm, 300 years; ivy, 335 years; maple, 510 years; larch, 576 years; orange, $50 years; cypress, 800 years; olive, 800 years; walnut, 900 years; Oriental plane, 1000 years; lime, HOO years; spruce, 1900 years; oak, 1,500 years; cedar, 2,OO0 years; yew, 3,200 years The way in which the ages of these trees have been ascertained leaves no doubt of it's correceness. In some few cases the data have been furnished by historical records and by traditions, but the botanical archeologists have a resource independent of either, and, when carefully used, infallible.
 Of all the forms of nature, trees alone disclose their ages candidly and freely. In the stems of trees which have branches and leaves with netted veins-in all exogens, as the botanist would say-the increase takes place by means of an annual deposit of wood, spread in an even layer upon the sur face of the preceding one.
 In the earlier periods of life trees in- crease much faster than when adult the oak, for instance, grows more rap idly between the twentieth and thir- tieth years-and when old the annual deposits considerably diminish, so that the strata are thinner and the rings proportionably closer. Some trees slacken in rate of growth at a very early period of life, and layers of oak become thinner after 40, those of the elm after 50, those of the yew after 6O.

at $25, 5,780. The last three figures of this sum represent what he claimed to have lost in cash. The rest of the sum, $25. 900; stands for his anguish of spirit at the. loss and the fright suffered by his wife. As to the first item of dam ages the judge held in substance that mans fool for having $780, or any sum more than he needs for travelling ex- penses. Railroad companies must not suffer for the conduct of fools, therefore, the railroad company in this case is bound to make good only the amount this fool needed to take him to bis des- tination.
 As to the second item of damages claimed, the court held that it was the railroad company's business to carry people from one point to another, but it was not required by law that the companies should keep their patrons Tn an agreeable frame of mind. If timid passengers chose to get scared at every train robbery, or to feel regretful on &C., count of the manner in which the rob- bery turned out, why that WAS matter between the robbers and the passen- gers to which company as common carrier ought not to be made party. Otherwise the train robbers might come in and claim damages from the company for disappointed hopes and anguish of spirit in the event of 8 water haul.
 The jury took the same view of it and very properly found for the defendant.

a bill introduced into congress by
Curtis of Kansas will materially
affect immigration and aid in its
res friction if it becomes a law. 1t
provides Tor the exclusion of all
immigrants who cannot read and
write; whose passage is paid for
them by another person or by a
-corpo ration; who does not possess
a cerain sum in cash; who has
been in prison or in an almshouse !;
who is either a pOlygamist or an
anarchist, or who is under con-
tract express or implied to per-
form labor in the United States.
This law would be an immense
improvement upon that now in
force.

Nerve .Jarrlna ,Jocularitieu.


There is nothing in the world which
produces the sense Of mental nausea
more completely, or is more certain to
turn the intellectual stomach, than the
use of certain jocularities Of speech with
which many people think fit to adorn
their conversation. The people who
seem to find it impossible to speak of an
unmarried man except as "a gay bach
elor," with whom the sea is always "the
briny" or the HERRING pond" and a
horse ga fiery steed," who eternally talk
about sunday -go-to-meeting" clothes,
and who have such phrases as "no extra
charge" "agitate the tintinnabulator, 4"
"the noxious weed, ''the pipe of peace" !"
40 winks," and Drawing the elements"
forever on their lips, are capable of pro-
ducing a sense of disgust in those who
care to see language kept bright and
clean which is absolutely intolerable.
1t is difficult to say whether these cant
phrases-that is, perfectly proper de-
scription Of them-are more odious when
used consciously or unconsciously-that
is, by people who believe them to be funny
and intend that their hearers should con-
slider them funny, or by those who have
merely caught them up and repeat them
like parrots and without any intention,
