Pine Trees on Volcanoes.

Every one who admlres trees must
be interested in the result Of Profess
or Ueilprin'S studies of the pines that
clothe the slopes of the great vol
cunic mountains Of Mexico.
These huge peaks seem to have
pierced their way upward through a
mantle Of pine forest, which clin%s
to their sides up to a height OF nearly
81 miles. ......
The vertical range Of the pine in
Mex."o is remarkable It is found
among the sun loving palm trees at
the foot Of the mountains. and 1t

Grandfather In his broadcloth goes
To hear the parsons Sunday prose.

And feeling his salvation sure
llspoints the morals with snore.

Here is the flame Of young romance
Oftnourished BY "a subtle glance.
And Cupid lifts beneath tho rose

That Quivers OH Clartnda's heart
Responsive to tho looks that dart,
Whence Collin, tired Of pnrables.

Contents him with the lovely shape
That glnnces through Clarintla's cape.
Among tho boys some bench 10 cut.
Or one essays the traitor nut
That pops, whereat, with cheeks afame,
The kernels fumbled in his shame.
And rolling underneath a pew
Is out of reach. but still in view.
And through the marble, nut and knife
Lots wife, and yet again Lots wife.
Outside his tale the blackbird spins.
The tributary thrush begins
To praise the blue audacOusly
With daring turns Of melody.
And now the parson ends his prose,
The hymn Is sung. grandfather goes
scrcnely home, and quite assured
He profitn,l and never snored.
And thumps the turfy path apace-

Now Collin. free Of circumstance.

Dangers of "safe" Hypnotics.

Medical men are divided on the subject
of the employment of the ''safe" hypnotics
Some prescribe them very readily, while
there are others who do not prescribe them
at all except under the sternest compul-
sion. Sir Andrew Clark is one of those
who hold that the too ready prescriber of
hypnotics, even of the safest" class, de-
serves professional apprehension. Strongly
confirmatory of this opinion is the account
which has just appeared of the case of a
man who had experienced extraordinary
sufferings as the result of the "paraldehyde
habit"
The victim, in addition to his profound
miseries, was long time within sight of
deaths door. The patient had been sub
ject to insomnia, and under medical advice
he tried paraldehyde. Beginning with oc-
casional small Doses the unfortunate man
rapidly proceeded to frequent large ones.
In a few months he could not live without
the drug, and in very few years it became
evident that he could not live with it, Life
became an agony, and the apprehension of
death a terror which was intolerable. In
the course of time the drug lost its power,
and sometimes as much as seven teaspoon
fuls Of paraldehyde procured no more than
half an hours sleep. The hearts action
failed, and the sounds often became almost
inaudible.
Peculiar shivers ran through the body,
and the patient was beset by constant fear
full imaginings. Tremors. agitations, sus-
picions decisions, harassed him day and
night, until finally he lost his reason and
was certified as lunatic requiring re-
straint. After a few months of asylum
life recovery commenced, and in time the
man was released and returned to his work.
But his constitution is permanently inn
paired, and he will never again be sound
and healthy man.-New York Telegram.

Mr.. Evarts, Ready wit,

Mr.. w. M. Evarts is man of wit not
too often used for telling effect. He flashes
his steel to good purpose now and then.
The story is said that once at dinner Of
the New York Potters, a sort of family re-
union, he as their counsel had been asked
to dine with them ALL There was bishop,
a doctor of divinity, and there were other
distinguished scions of the family tree
present, and the after dinner speeches had
all been livery naturally for such an occa-
stony on the fame and success of one an
other.
The history of the Potters since they first
came to this country was told in all its
glorious details. Then Mr.. Evarts was
asked to make speech. and they say he
said that he felt he really must be excused.
In this revered presence. however, he might
be pardoned for uttering paraphrase OF
Scripture which had come into his mind
during the speeches Of the rest, ''Lord,
Lord, thou art the clay, and we are the

Artificial india Rubber.

Artificial india rubber from cottonseed
oil is one Of the latest industrial products.
It is claimed to possess commercial adapta-
tions of peculiar practical value. The man
ufacture involves a process not yet given
out to the public by the discoverer, who
states that while experimenting with cot
tonseed oil to produce varnish for paint
ings he obtained substance entirely for
eign in its makeup and properties to what
was sought-not q varnish, but rubber. So
simple is the process, as alleged, that it is
not within the protection Of patent, the
only safeguard being, therefore, in the Sc
crecy of the process, by the use Of which, it
is asserted, only Is per cent is required Of
the genuine rubber to produce an article
which can in no way be distinguished from
the ordinary crude india rubber, it Is said,

A Marvel of Strength.

Marechal de SAKE, who commanded the
French at Fontenoy, was a marvel OF
strength. On one occasion he twisted, with
his fingers only. long nail into cork
screw, with which he drew the corks OF
half a dozen bottles. He could break with
his hands the strongest horseshoe.
One day when in London he had row
with dustman when he seized the man by
the head, and throwing him in the air let
him drop right in the middle of his own
dust cart The only opponent who sue
ceeded in resisting him was woman, a
Mile. Gauthier. an actress. Maurice tried
with her to see who could put down the
others wrist, and after a long struggle she
won, but with the greatest difficulty.

far beyond the common, and with her I'M
gers she could roll up silver plates as easily
as any one would paper.-Cincinnati Com

and surrounded by the remains of defen-

In the poorer part of the town, Ehere the
backs of the houses were placed against this
wall, it became customary to dig into its
thickness a cool and convenient room,
which was used as something between a
cellar and shed. But house burned
down one day, leaving the stone room ex-
posed, and family of Migrants passing
that way saw it, explored it and finally
settled in it. Other squatters soon took
the hint and dug for themselves stone
