A Trce War.

Americans often complain that all
good things to eat, drink and wear
are adulterated, cOunterfeited, and
imitated.l This Is true everywhere, no
doubt, but In this country We are very
little aware to what extent adultera.
tiOn may be carried. For that We
must 20 to some OF the countries. OF
the Old World, whose products we
are often expected to suppose are
much better than our own.
An affair which has attracted some
attention Ia the French press anus.
ingly illustrates this fact Not long
ago the municipality OF the city OF
Saint Denis decided to plant trees IN
o certain square. The Mayor pro.
posed to plant plane.treea but the
city council declared that acacias
must be chosen. The Mayor refused
to authorize any other than plane.
trees, and used his authority to order
Q supply Of trees of that sort.
Then the city council refused to
appropriate money for plane.t trees.
The Mayor was formally called upon
to give his reasons for his action, and
did 90.
~ will have planes" he said, "be.
cause IL IL we'll known that this tree
Is the only one In existence out of
the bark Of which cocoa Is not made.
II we do not plant plane.trees, we
shall have our public trees stripped
OF their bark, and the product used
In adulterating our morning cocoa"
This argument did not prevail
with the councilmen, who at last &C.
counts were standing out against the
Mayor. and leaving him with his I'm.
planted plane.trees on his hands.

deficiency by theft from neighboring

1t is matter of uncertainty as to

this diversity of opinion heretofore, and
we find it happily combined in the plat
