T.e "A unt-Beirut.

The ground was grassy plain on the
other side of the Beirut river, intersected
by little water courses and studded with
groves of pine trees, some full grown and
tall and others making a thick underwood
or scrub, in which the jackals, which we
came to hunt, were hidden. We had a
brace of beautiful Persian greyhounds,
which shifted and ran about, but were
perfectly useless, but our real pack con-
sisted of two battalions of zouaves and
spahis, who drove the pines in full uni
form, encircling them and gradually oil
minishing the circle, shouting and scream
ing until the jackals ran out and Went

army at their heels, firing at Impossible

do not think that too strongly stated.
1t is, with the exception of the first
phrase, ali adequate statement of high
ideal. If anybody desires to judge for
himself how high it is, let him consider
how many journals there are to whom it
would appeal of whom it could be truly
affirmed that they do in the main live
I'D TO that ideal. and act on those high
principles 1t is true also to say that
they were inherited by the third John
Walter, who has just died, and that,
while he abated nothing of their sub
stance, he strove steadily to improve the
form in which they were embodied.
I don't think it can be alleged of Mr..
Walter that lie ever did public act ex-
cept Fl ON a public motive. That covers
his connection with the journal he con-
trolled, and often as he and his paper
have been wrong, grievous as is the in
iury they have at times done to us, ap-
palling as were some OF their mistakes,
I believe it to be true of both the man
and the journal that their motives were
b. Oh public motives and never personal
or selfish or passionate. But motive is
not everything. 1t is not even much I'M
less it lead to wise and prudent conduct
and the test must therefore be broad
ened Was the conduct of the paper as
whole and on the whole wise and pru-
dent under Mr.. Walter? Perhaps the
best answer is that if it had been on the
whole otherwise the Times would long
since have ceased to be what it beyond
question has long been and still is, the
leading journal of the world. A career
of folly and recklessness would have
been short career.

TREES.
Some of the More Striking Curiosities of
Plant Life.

On the Canary island grows a foun-
tain tree, o tree most needed In some
parts of the island. 1t is said that the
leaves constantly distill enough water
to furnish drink to every living creature
in Hero, nature having provided this
remedy for the drought of the island.
Every morning neal this part Of the is
land o cloud or mist arises from the sea,
which the winds force against the steep
cliff on which the tree grows, and it Is
from the mist that the tree distills the
water.
China, too, claims her remarkable
tree. This is known as the tallow tree,
so called from the fact Of its produc-
ing q substance like tallow, and which
serves the same purpose, is OF the same
consistence, color and smell. On the is
land of Loo-Choo grows n tree, about the
size of a common cherry tree, which
possesses the popularity of changing the
color Of it's blossoms. At time the
flower assumes the tint Of the lily, and
again shortly takes the color Of the rose.
In Tibet there is a curious tree known
as the tree of the thousand images. Its
leaves are covered with well defined
characters of the Tibetan alphabet. 1t
is of great age and the only one of its
kind known there.
The caobab tree is considered one of
the most wonderful of the vegetable
kingdom. 1t appears that nothing can
kill this tree; hence it reaches an aston
ishing age as we'll as enormous size.
The natives make a strong cord from
the fbers Of the bark; hence the trees
are continually barked, but without
damage, as they o o put forth a new
bark. 1t appears impervious to fire, and
even the AK is resisted. as it continues
to grow in length while it is lying on
the ground.
In Mexico there is a plant known by
the name of palo de leche. 1t belongs
to the family of euphorbia. The Indians
throw the leaves into the water, and The
fish become stupefed and, rise to the
surface and are then caught by the ma
tives. In this case the effect of the mar,
cotic O passes off. The milk of this
plant thrown upon the fire gives out
fumes that produce nausea and head
ache. The milk taken internally is &
deadly poison. 1t will produce death o.
insanity, according to the size of the
dose. There is a popular belief among
the lower class in Mexico that the in
sanity of the ex-Empress Carlotta was
caused by this poison. San Jose Mer

NERVE ENOUGH FOR ANYTHING.

A Boy Who Could Not BE Frightened by a
Displeased Corpse or a Professors Tricks.
DIR. McTavish of Edinburgh was some
thing of a v~entriloquist, and it befell
that he wanted a lad to assist in the
surgery who must necessarily be of
strong nerves. He received several ap-
plications, and when telling o lad what
the duties were, in order to test his
nerves, he would say, while pointing to
a grinning skeleton standing upright in
a corner, Part of your work would be
to feed the skeleton there, and while
you are here you may as well try to do
So"
A few lads would consent to q trial
and received a basin of hot Cruel and a
spoon. While they were pouring the
hot mess into the skull the doctor would
throw his voice so as to make il appear
to proceed from the jaws of the bony
customer and gurgle out, "Br-r-r-gr-uh,
that's hotr'
This was too much, and without ex-
ception the lads dropped the basin and
bolted. The doctor began to despair of
ever getting q suitable helpmate until a
small boy came and was given the Cruel
and spoon.
After the first spoonful the skeleton
appeared to say, ''Gr-r-r-uh-r-br that's
hotl'
Shoyeling in the scalding Cruel as
fast as ever, the lad raped the skull
and impatiently retorted, well. blow
it, carn't yer, yer ould bonyl"
The doctor sat down in his chair and
fairly roared, but when he came to he
