The Rata Tree.

Professor Thomas Kirk Of Yelling
ton. New Zealand some time ago
wrote to one of the Harvard profess
sors that he had selected two logs Of
the rata tree, Metrosideros robusta,
for the college museum. The logs
arrived on Friday. They were 1 and
~ feet in diameter, respectively.
The seeds of the rata tree germinate
in the forks OF lofty trees. sending
down aerial roots which reach the
ground and draw therefrom a supply
of moisture, while the young plant
above sends out branches with foliage
to appropriate from the air the other
requisite materials of food. The
roots increase in thickness, and the
branches continue their growth until
this interloper actually crowds out OF
existence the tree which Graded it in
its infancy. The wood is used for
shipbuilding and cabinet work.

A VERY DECENT INDIAN.
Some Interesting Facts About the

Unquestionably the Seminole is n

and their squaws are models of wo-
manly virtue and industry. That the

steps Of the white man encroach upon
their domain. They live upon game,
SaNits. and the products Of their agri-
culture, though many wants must be
supplied at the trading posts or
stores in the settlements, with money
or through barter For many years
the trade in alligator skins and plum
age Of birds has been a great source
OF revenue to them, but the alligators
are almost extermnated, and the
bird laws are now so strictly enforced
that the trader no longer dares to buy
their plumes and wings, at least in
paying quantity. They still bring in
game, and turtles, and few alligator
skins, or moccasins and other rude
manufactures, but every year it
grows harder and harder for them to
get money; and as IL to add insult to
injury, some of their most fertile
keys have recently been homesteaded
by white men. after the Indians had
titled the soil for years.

WOMEN As ARCHITECTS.

at Is surprise to me, said lady
with whom | was talking some nights
ago, that women have not taken up
architecture rs II profession to a fuller
extent, for there is no business for
which woman is more peculiarly
fitted. Men have little practical
knowledge OF the value of space in n
house, or Of the advantages Of closets,
or the disagreeable incidents which
occur in an lily arranged mansion.
The home is especially the woman :

RAILROADS VERSUS RIVER.


The railroads are rapidly paral-
leling the Mississippi river on both
Of its banks, and in my opinion it
will not be many years before freight
traffic on the Father Of Waters will
have entirely ceased" said f. l..
Dickey, secretary Of the Iowa Iron
Works at Dubuque. 1T is mourn
ful TO listen TO the tales Of woe OF the
old Mississippi vessel men on the de-
cadence Of shipping since the rail-
roads began TO creep along the great
rivers shores from New Orleans to
st. Paul. But they are, Of course,
compelled TO submit TO the installa-
ton and encroachments OF the iron
horse precisely as the numbering old
stage coach was Obliged to give way
early i'm the century. In fact, it is
idle for the steamboat men Of the
Mississippi to attempt to resist the
irresistible invasion OF the railroads
by ruthlessly slaughtering rates and
'freighting' at loss, or by any other
means. For instance, there is IL rail
road from Dubuque TO st. Paul OH
each side OF the river. Both of these
roads touch nearly every river town
on their respective shores. During
the months when river navigation
was open the river men used to
have pretty fair show at the ship
ping, for their rates were much lower
than those of the railroads, and, curl
ously enough, they are more speedy
carriers than the railroads. But for
four months of the year, on an aver
age, the river is frozen tight from
shore to shore. The railroad people
took advantage OF this fact by fore
ing the shippers to make yearly con-
first refused to do this were squeezed
very tight in numerous ways by the
railroads during the months that
river navigation was closed, and now
nearly all of them have perceived the
good policy Of acceding to the rail-
roads yearly contract scheme. The
railroads have further entrenched
themselves by building tracks from
their main lines to the plants Of
nearly all the large shippers. Below
Dubuque almost the same conditions
prevail. There is line of railroad
along the Mississippi from st. Louis
to Cairo, and line along the shore of
the big stream from New Orleans to
Memphis. Other lines in process of
construction or in contemplation
will, in few years, fix things SO that
the street rails shall extend from the
headwaters of the Mississippi to its
mouth. Thus the old steamboat
men, whose memories extend back to
the times when they were the lords
OF all the domain through which the
great river courses, have of late years
been wrapped in a gloom, profound
and unspeakablc. - Washington

THE ONE ORIGINAL GIFT.

When one hears OF Washington
bride who has to find shelving for
thirteen dozen Of decorated china
plates and thirty-three bon-bon
dishes, one wishes for little more
originality on the part of giyers. A
check is always original. Needle
work is coming in as bridal gifts ;
house and table linen in carved chests
nothing could be more welcome.
But even this should not be overdone.
II is barely possible to have too many
doylies and table centers, luxurious
and gratifying aS these dainty bits Of
napery are. A French count recently
presented to his bride not only an
heirloom lace handkerchief, but a
beautiful bedspread in finest cambrlc
and costly lace, In the middle of
the spread was embroidered the
family coat farms. Now n counter
pane Of the sort worked by the bride :
young friends would be treasure,
indeed, and would last, as only linen

FASHION NOTES.

Seeded effects are observable in
some Of the new silks and woolens.
The crab, although not thing of
beauty, figures among fancy jewelry.
Rows Of lace beading. threaded with
satin ribbon, are used "a edging on
fine pillow shams.
Mats to put under bric-a-brac are
of woven gilt thread studded with
beetles wings in brilliant emerald
green.
Silks and stately looking brocades
are TO be more used during the spring
and summer than they have been for
years before.
Transparent yokes Of white or
cream lace have fancy trimmings Of
Liberty satin in pale shades Of blue,
pink, yellow and green.
A silk dust cloak. imported from
Paris, has a full collarette Of deep
lace. There is certainly no limit to
the use Of laces this season.
Wide black MORE ribbon will be
largely used for dress trimming, for
the bows on hats. and for the inn
mense Rows around the neck.
A pretty morning gown is made Of
ecru wash silk, dotted with black and
trimmed with ruflcs Of the silk,
finished with fancy black stitching.
A great many Of the dress skirts
show an under and contrasting skirt
mt the hem. Without doubt we are
going to wear upper and under skirts.
Black silk drapcry nets for the
summer season show gold and silver
spangled effects. Iokes and half
sleeves Of black net will be made over
apple green satin.

Propaoation Of Plants.

One plant OF purslane frequently
produces not less than 10000 seeds
A favorable Summer will give three
generations, or 10000, 900. 900. 600
plants. These figures are not reached,
because many OF the seeds are de-
stroyed, and do not find place to
grow. or cannot find food for their
growth, and the principle Of the
survival OF the strongest comes in
sf1sre In order that the greatest num-
ber Of seeds may produce plants.
they should be scattered IA much as
possible. The soil easily becomes ex-
hausted in any particular locality,
and this neceSsitates the scattering
OF seeds. The lower order Of plants
producing spores scatter these by
means OF zoospOres having organs OF
lOcomOtiOn i'm the case OF aquatic
plants. The spores Of molds, etc,
are distributed a. dust i'm the air, and
the best OF air i'm ordinary localities
is always loaded with spores. The
spores Of disease-producing mi
crobes are scattered through the dust
Of the air The propagation Of con-
sumption was dwelt upon at length.
Many insects carry spores Of disease
producing plants, the house fly and
mosquito especially. The latter drives
his proboscis through the skin and
inoculates the system.
Since many plants depend on dis
tribution for the development OF
their seeds, any contriyance which
aids distribution also helps develop
the seeds. Many seeds are provided
with contrivanceS for distribution by
the wind, as the winged seeds OF the
elm, maple and ash, the plumed
seeds Of the dandelion and many
composite plants. Some seeds have
hooked hairs on their surfaces, as the
seed Of the hooked or cursed but
tercup. Sometimes there are hooks
upon the pods, as in the case Of
the tick trefoil, and sometimes the
whole head OF the seed is hooked, "a
the burdock. These hooked pods are
carried by fur and wool-bearing ami
mails, and even birds. Seeds with
hard coats which are not digested are
distributed by fruit-eating animals

A new shade of brown called NOR

A new shade Of brown called NOR
dore is very fashionable. II is pretty
in silk and light wool material, and its
beauty consists in the light bullion
tints shaded over it.
The market is full of ecccntricitieS
and vagaries in the way Of gloves,
but, all the same, conservative trade
demands strictly plain styles, with
almost invisible stitching.
The latest decorations for the hair,
with evening dress, are jewelled
aigrettes standing up at the back, or,
jewels, arranged on band and set
in the midst Of the front hair.
Nothing can be prettier for little
girls than the accordion-plaited
frocks, they are so light and airy, and
for dancing they seem to give an
added grace to the young wearer.
Jet certainly has first place among
the new trimmings, and will be used
in great profusion on hats rs well as
dresses. Feathers are sprinkled with
it, and cream-colored laces are elabo-
rately jetted.
Embroderies OF all sorts and kinds
will be popular, one of the newest
being a thick butter-colored creation,
partaking somewhat OF the nature of
lace, which will be used alike on
dresses of satin, velvet, and cloth.
Shepherds plaid velvet in combina-
tion with black serge makes very
stylish vest 1t is cut plain and high
to the throat, and has cuff Of velvet
below the coat sleeve, which gives
the appearance of n vest with sleeves.

the novelties of the season, and those

lures, set in frames, and Sevres and
Dresden china buttons, will have

Money in Snowbanks.

J. A. Fillmore, general superintend-
ent OF the Southern Pacific Company,
yesterday returned from Truckee,
where he spent several days fighting
snow. He said: AT Truckee the
snow is six feet deep on level, and
beyond that there are points where it
is fifteen feet deep. Those snow
banks mean year of prosperity for
California. There are millions of
dollars in those banks, for the snow
is deposited all along the full length
of California. This will give irriga-
ton by rains, and through the
