ducers, refusing to assume the obliga-
tions Of citizenship, and are q mere
burden to society. AT q conservative
estimate, their maintenance costs the
public SO. 30 q week, eighty-four cents
OF which IL spent for spirits and to-
bacco and if TO this is added police
and hospital charges, the expense Is
increased to $40 a week, as much as
1t costs to support the most dangerous
criminal. The aggregate sum thus
required to keep the tramp army IN
motion is 80, 16s, 900 . year, . sum
double the cost Of the Indian bureau,
and more than one-qnarter of the an
nuai interest of the public debt.

The beauty of the elm is more than
skin deep, says the New York Post: and
a high light of forestry givesit the first
rank as a shade tree both for streets
and parks, because it is likewise strong
vigorous, and can be grown in SO many
places. The leaves are SO tough that
dust has little effect on them. Certain
kinds of naples also have a good stand
ing for shade, beauty, and rapid
growth, though the soft maple is USE
less for heavy shade. Oak trees, the
English and the Turkish, though rarely
seen as shade trees in our streets, take
high rank for that use.

Great excitement prevails in France
owing to the discovery that, of the

no less than nineteen are English, and
that during the recent troubles in con-

dressed to the French Government

ut the English Foreign Office several
hours before their delivery in Paris.
France is, in fact, entirely dependent
upon English companies for cable com
