------------- TH.A GERMAN RECIP

President Cleveland has given Ger many to understand that she must play fair with the United States in the great game of international trade The proc lamation of January 26, 1888, issued by himself, and which he has just revok- ed, suspended the collection of tonnage duties on scale sliding from to 30 cents per ton per annum on German vessels or their cargoes in the United States At the time of the proclama- tion of 1888 there seemed to be proof, wholly satisfactory, that no tonnage or lighthouse dues were imposed on Amer ican vessels by the German empire or the governments of the German mari time ports. The suspension of tonnage dues in January, 1888, was declared then by the president to continue so long as 'the reciprocal exemption of vessels belonging to citizens of the United States and their cargoes should be continued" The presidents latest proclamation which goes into effect January 8, holds that tonnage or light house dues, or a tax or taxes equivalent thereto, are in fact imposed on Ameri- can vessels and their cargoes entered in German ports higher and other than those imposed upon German vessels or their cargoes" in American ports Therefore the president, in accordance with the law of June 19, 1886, under which the first proclamation was is- sued, revokes that former proclama- ton. The effect of this will be to com pei German vessels to pay tonnage dues This, it is said, will hold good not only as regards German vessels, but will affect vessels of other nation alities haiIing from German ports.
 It is expected that the Presidents &C., tion will create a stir iii Germany, and may lead to some unfavorable action | by the German government respecting 
 facts were so clear as to justify the
 righteous indignation which prompted Secretary Olney to recommend and the | President to issue the proclamation, and Germany was not able to make any satisfactory explanation, or to give any satisfactory assurances, when the mat l ter was brought to the attention of the l imperial government by Ambassador | Uhl. If Germany isn't disposed to do | the right thing it may be proper to take
 such other action as will call her atten-
 tion to the fact that her hostility to
 some of the commodities of this coun-
 try is not popular here. Retaliation is
 sometimes as useful and instructive as reciprocity.

A, TALK ABOUT TREES.

When a young tree Is tran
 planted care should be taken not to break off those small flores for the more perfect those small mouths are and the greater their number of fibers, the surer the tree Is to survive trans planting, and roofing in new soil If all those flores were broken off the tree would not live because of it's ina bility to suck up nourishment from the soil. No man can count those small flores, and when we consider the mill lions of mouths which are supplied with food by nature in large forest, we are lost in wonder that none is forgotten by the Infinite who has an eye to even the smallest blade of grass which has numberless roots and fiber like mouths to be filled. The trees of the forest are all different, and each species of trees requires different food, and theesap of one class of trees differs daily from another, What the roots of the oak stree take from the soil daily would not satisfy the pine tree, nor would that of the pine support the growth of the maple. Yet nature has provided what each tree requires, and supplies their wants with never-f failing industry. And, Divine beneficence, na
 ture, is true to her law.
 The trees of the forest are one of the greatest studies known to human in
 telligence, and the agricultural chemist off fn1 IA In bir
 analysis of the nature and growth of
 the forest trees. The deeper he goes into the mystery the more puzzled he
 becomes, and the deeper becomes his veneration for the "Over Soup of all worlds and kingdoms where naturerep-
 resents the Deity or the controlling power of the universe.
 There were many experiments tried by agriculturists before they ascer- l tained what varieties of food the forest trees required. They have reduced | that knowledge to scientific facts.
 The different classes of fruit trees were studied carefully, and the trans planting of fruit has become not only a possibility, but necessity in many

 in the same quality of earth There can be a great variety of plants and l fruit trees grown in the same garden, i seeming not to require a change or diff l ferent soil. But such is not the case.
 Each plant and class of fruit trees re-
 quire distinct clements, Agricultural chemistry has wrought this fact, as it did the necessity for the sprinkling of a light shower of salt over your aspara-

 The plants and trees of the forests

 trees have stout and others very frai

large and heavy branches which spread out in all directions, Nature provides against the tree being blown down by the wind of by the forces of the tenn pests, The smaller growth of plants are protected by the overshadowing branches of the forest trees, and are therefore not provided with stout trunks. There are some of them made to decay in the fall, that they may pro vide certain clements required by the trees whose leaves and underbrush fur nish the nitrogenous matter required by the trees, and this mystery is added to the many others connected with our forests, The trunks of trees, like the stalks of shrubs, consist of three parts the bark, the wood and pith. The bark of tree is composed of two parts or two barks, the outer and inner bark, The outer covering seems to have no life in it. It is like the outer garment of men, used for protection against the weather. This outer covering is very coarse and rough on some of the an cient trees, The elns and oaks of very old growth have rough barks, as do also naples and spruce. The walnut
  like thousands of other trees in our northern clime Nature provides them with overcoats for protection against the heat and cold which affect the growth of all classes of vegetation. The outer covering of trees seems as a garment and corresponds with the skins of animals. Nature provides for every portion of her many kingdoms, and nothing possessing life and viality is neglected. No system or organism but receives a supply necessary to sat isfy all demands
 Mans necessities require higher and superior law of supply The earth and air are made to meet the demands of human nature. This is done boun- teously by One who understands wants of all classes and furnishes through natural law all that is needed to sus- tain life
 The bark of the tree is seemingly of no account; certainly it is not an addi- tion to the beauty of the tree, looking at 1t from human standpoint Yet it is necessary to the life and growth of the tree as the sap that circulates through roots and branches and passes out at the leaves to be lost in the sur rounding atmosphere. The trees are most wonderfully made, and the mys- tery deepens as we study their princi- pal organs and are made better ac- quainted with all their functions and the law which keeps them all in mo- tion and perfect growth.
 The ministration of trees cannot be too highly appreciated. They enrich the soil and attract atmospheric moist ure and add glory and beauty to the landscape, Every one knows what | shade trees are in hot weather. There is nothing more refreshing than the cool forests in a hot summers day And when the intelligent minds of the age become familiar and better &C., | quainted with the philosophy of vege- | table life and growth, and the sensitive | power of green foliage and the minis 1 tration of the trees, they will under | stand that God studied the comforts of | human and animal life before He crea- | ted the forests of the earth

up. This is accomplished sometimes by several rows of braid or ruffling, the hem row being the longer and extend- ing across the breadth, while the other rows decrease fin length to a mere spot at the top. Such decoration rarely reaches higher than the knee line. Again, the front breadth may be slit to the knee line, the flying edges being elaborately bound with braid, and bit of contrasting petticoat showing. Other skirts are elaborately braided along each seam, from hem to belt. In some cases each seam is lit up about a quar- ter of a yard the edges flying loose to show contrasting petticoat.
 Other skirts are slit all the way from hem to belt at one side, showing con- trasting panel or an under skirt. Many skirts are braided in imitation of over skirt and under-skirt, a favorite method being to make a line of braiding follow the outline of apron drapery in front, material contrasting with the rest of the skirt, being set below the braiding Some skirts are finished with a scroll of braiding about a quarter of a yard above the hem of the skirt, bright scar let broadcloth of fur appearing below the braid.

 A particularly pretty afternoon dress appears in the accompanying picture, and was made of sky blue voile sprink- led with tiny pea green embroidered silk dots. It's bodice had a pointed vest of blue and green mirror velvet, a plain back and surplice fronts, and was tin- ished with tiny velvet bolero, The latter had epaulettes and turned back at the lower corners to show pale blue lining. The stock collar was velvet, with an insertion of the dotted silk in front, the sleeves were cut into points at the wrists, and blue satin ribbon came about the waist, finishing with sash ends. The plain skirt was simply gathered to the band, instead of being arranged in godets.
 Trimmed skirts are not only plenti- full, but almost all imported gowns show them. In many cases the trim ming is only on the front breadth and inclines to the effect of pyramid, apex

Moscow is considering plans for an ice palace the present winter, to be built in imitation of the one which adorned the Empress Annes reign. That was constructed in 1740, between the Admiralty and the Winter Palace at St. Petersburg, and was formed throughout, walls, roof, windows, col umns and decorations, in fact, every thing from the foundation up entirely of ice, the. evenness of the winter weather there assuring for term the durability of the masonry. At the en- trance of the structure was a large gallery filled with ice statues. and on the pedestals of ice stood vases filled with flowers, with lowering birds above them, all of the same material, as were the clock cases, chairs, tables, ward robes, utensils, candelabra, beds and all the other furnishings.

The authority to designate the indus tries to be carried on in the State pris- pms after January 1 next has been del- egated to General Austin Lathrop, the State Superintendent of Prisons, by the New York Prison commission which gives up the work General Lathrop says: There are many people who imagine they could run the prisons better than those who have had years of experience. The fact remains that when there is no work to be done, the prisoners cannot be kept employed The number of articles that will be needed for the State institutions next year, as shown by the estimates sub mitted to the State Prison commission would not keep more than one hundred and fifty prisoners employed the year round.

z Few more curious testamentary freaks are recorded than that of a man who died last month at Arras, in the north of France. Tn accordance with Instructions nlinutely set down in this persons will, friend of his followed the funeral cortege to the cemetery, and, after the priest had said the last prayers, produced two large bottles of gin. One of these he emptied upon the newly made grave, while the contents of the other he carefully divided among such of the assembled mourners as cared to partake. Most of them made no objection to receiving and disposing of this strange legacy on the spot.
