A SINGLE CROP.
Trees That Rear Fruit But Once During
q Long Life.

Trees That Hear Fruit But Once During
. Long Life.
The sago palm tree bears but one
crop of fruit. Its load of nuts is its
first and final effort in the way of fruit
bearing. The nuts become ripe and
r strewn in thousands around the
tree until the great stem stands up by
itself, empty and bare. The branches
turn brown and drop one by one to the
ground. Inside the trunk the work of
decay is going on until what at one
time was a mass of white sage and
pith becomes nothing but a collection
of rotten brown fbers. One day the
trade wind blows more strongly than
usual and the leafess column of the
trunk falls with a crash, destroying in
its fall many of the young palms that
are already springing from the nuts
scattered some months before. The
tasiput, or Palmyra palm, a native of
Ceylon, is another tree which flowers
and bears fruit but once. When about
eighty years old, which is when it has
attained it's full growth, the flower
spike bursts from its envelope with a
loud report. In the course of fifteen
or twenty months it showers down an
abundance of nuts, and this effort to
produce n numerous succession proves
fatal to the parent. The fruit is round
and very hard, about the size of a
cherry, and so abundant that one tree
will produce sufficient to plant a large
district.

signihcance of the Different Keys,

The meaning of the different keys
in music is thus set down in a letter

contemplative.
ID minor possesses the same quail

more dolefsl, solemn and grand.
C-Bold, vigorous and commanding;
suited to the expression of war and
enterprise.
A minor-Plaintive, but not feeble.
G-Gay and sprightly; being the me
dium key, 1t is adapted to the greatest
range of subjects.
IL minOr-Persuasive, soft and ten

D-Ample, grand and noble; having
more fire than G, 1t is suited to loftiest
purposes.
B Misunderstanding, but in too high
a tone to excite confederation.
A-Golden, warm and sunny.

E-Bright and pellucfd, adapted to
brilliant subjects.
B-Keen and piercing; seldom used.

majestic or grand and it too dull for

G minor-Meek and pensive. Re

soft and beautiful. 1t is a key in
which all musicians delight. Though
less decided in character than some Of

G minor-Complaining, having some
thing of the cast of b minor.
A fat-The most lovely Of the tribe.
Unassuming, gentle, soft. delicate and
tender, having none of the pertness Of

The Actual Message of the King Related

On the occasion of the opening Of
parliament. during one of the years
when Pitt was prime minister, the
lords and commons were greatly per-
picked by a reference to the goldfish
at Windsor castle, which was intro
duced into the kings speech, as read
by Pitt It was not until after both
Pitt and King George were dead that
the explanation came out. The prime
minister, it is related, had come to the
king at the palace with the speech
from the throne fully prepared. He
found the king seated at the edge Of
the basin Of a fountain, earnestly re.
garding his goldfish sporting about in
the water. Pitt read the speech.

The Modern Ricvc1e

The tenth anniversary Of the intro.
duction of the modern bicycle was cell
ebrated recently, when J. X. Starley
entertained a number of persons who
are prominent in the cycling world.
In 1885 the Rover safety was intro
duced by Messrs. Starley and Sutton,

and seems likely to hold it for some
time to come. Many celebrities Of
cycling were present at the banquet,
and all testified to the invaluable part
the Coventry maker had played in
cycling enterprise. The safety bicycle
Is such an established Institution to-
day that it needs some Imagination to
realize that in 1885 some courage was
required in introducing such a ma
chine, but the Rover is something
more than a mere safety bicycle. q.

A Patient Was Perfectly sane Except ON
the Subject of Breakfast.
When Edmund Burke was preparing
the indictment against Warren Hast
ings, he was told that a person who
had long resided in India, but was now
an inmate of Bedlam, could probably
give him some useful information. He
went to Redlam, accordingly, and the
maniac gave him, in a long, rational,
and well-conducted conversation, the
results of long and various experience
of Indian affairs. On leaving the cell,
Burke told the keeper in attendance
that the poor man was as much in his
senses as he. The keeper answered.:
"Sir, please step back to the poor gen.
tlelnan's cell and ask him what he had
for breakfast" Burke could not re.
fuse. pray, SIR" said he, "tell me
what you had for breakfast" The
man at once put on the wild stare of a
maniac, and shouted, "Hobnails, sirl
1t is shameful to think how they treat
us. They give us nothing but hob
nails!" and proceeded with a ''descant
wild" about the horrors of the cookery
of Bethlehem hospital. At the first
pause Burke was glad to escape.

Mary nodded coolly, as If the splicing

prospective bridegroom, 1--WE didn't

barrow. They were to start from the
Place de La Concorde, and, says q cor
respondent, each will take a turn at

to Switzerland, then to Italy, Turkey,
Persia and China-that is to say, IL
nothing unusual happens to prevent
them from covering all this extensive
ground. At Canton they embark for
San Francisco, and after having
wheeled their barrow as far as Buenos
Ayres, will there take passage ON

About Swans.

A curious, secre tive proceeding of
swans is described. The cygnets hav-
ing been Just Matched out, the male
bird picked up an empty half egg-shell
lying beside the water and carefully
carried it to the edge of the water
some twenty feet from the nest, filled
it with mnd, and pushed it into the
river, where it sank to the bottom;
and then repeated the performance
with the other half egg-shelL On re-
turning to the nest the last time, he
placed a few sticks across the small
track he had made. AS no other
pieces were seen about the nest, while
five cygnets were Matched, it is in
ferred that the bird had done the
same with all the egg-shells.
