The ChOne Tree.

Chone is the name given by the
Kanakas to a tree which fourishes
In New Caledonia. 1t reaches .
height of 40 feet and puts forth
beautiful white flowers, having n
perfume like that of jasmine. The
ohone is the Cerbera manghas ofsthe
botanist and belongs to the family
of the apocynacee. 1t yields a
milky juice, like the india rubber
tree, which, when evaporated, leaves
a black gum that softens in boiling
water like gutta percha. 1t is i'm
permeable, like gutta percha, but
has the advantage of dissolving in
petroleum. The solution painted or
doated on wood and evaporated
leaves a thin layer of the gum, i'm
pervious to water. Leather impreg-
mated with the gum can remain in
water for hours without becoming
moist. Moreover, according to DIR.
Prat-Flottes, a French naval sur
geon, it makes an excellent water
proof varLis isl for boots when it is
dissolved in essence of turpentine.

LONDON ~"TOSHERS."

They Go Through the Sewers to Search
For Articles of Value.
Shoremen or shoreworkers they
sometimes call themselves, but their
most familiar %appellation is "tosh-
ers," and the articles they pick up
'tosh."
They really belong to another we'll
known class, the mudlarks, but con-
slider themselves a grade or two
above these latter, for the. genuine
tosher does not confine himself, as
they do, travelling through the
Thames mud and picking up odd
pieces of coal or wood, copper, nails,
bolts, iron and old rope. The tosher,
when the coast is clear of the police,
makes his way into the sewers and
will venture sometimes for miles in
quest of valuables that occasionally
find their way into them by the
kitchen sink or the street grating.
When about to enter the sewers
these men provide themselves with
a pole seven or eight feet long. on
one end of which there is a large
iron hoe, a bag carried on the back,
a canvas apron tied around them,
and a dark lantern similar to a pc.
liceman's. This they strap on their
right breast, so that while walking
upright through the large sewers

ers and have to stoop, the light is
thrown directly at their feet. AS
they make their way they use their
hoe in the mud at their feet and in
the crevices of the brickwork, and

Tobacco and Study.

Certain American universities
have entered on a campaign against
tobacco as being injurious not only
to the physical health, but to the in
%tellectual development of students.
In 1891 the official physician of Yale
published the results of observations
made on the undergraduates of that
university. In a class of 147 students
he found that in four years ~ who
did not use tobacco surpassed the 20
who did use it to the extent of 10. 4
per cent in increase OF weight, "a per
cent in increase of height and 26.7
per cent in increase OF chest girth.
The most marked difference was,
however, in point of lung capacity,
the abstainers showing an average
gain of 77.5 per cent more than
smokers or chewers. AS regards the
effects Of tobacco on the intellectual
powers, Professor Fisk found, on d.
viding a class at Yale into four SEQ.
tions representing different degrees
of proficiency, the highest section
was composed almost entirely of
nonsmokers. AS is pointed out by
The British Medical Journal, how
ever, there may be scme confusion
here between cause ard effect. Be-
sides the question O. intellectual Ca
pacity another factor has to be TAX
en- into account. AS a general rule
students who do not smoke are more
industrious than those who do. 1t is
not necessarily, however, because
they do not smoke that they work
harder. 1t is rather because they are
industrious that they do not smoke.
Dr.. johnson said that tobacco was
conducive to laziness because it gave
a man the feeling that he was doing
something when he was doing moth.

A Proper London Restriction,

A proper restriction Is that the
street preacher shall not carry the
war into his enemy's camp. The
passerby in the parks is fair game.
If lie does not like the exhortatlons
addressed to him, no can move
away. Probably indeed ha would
not be III that part of the park at
all if he did not wish to hear them.
But there r certain quarters of any
great towns which are virtually ap-
propriated to special sections of tho
community. There is a Jewish quar-
ter OF an Irish quarter; there may
be even a Mohammedan quarter. 1t
is a matter of police regulation that
the inhabitants Of these several
quarters should be protected against
the incursioEs Of their natural ene-
my, the missionary.
1t is only an extension of the prin-
oiple that an Englishman's house is
his castle to make a rule that Prot
estant preacher shall not unbCsom
himself on the subject of the pope
in an Irish court or that a jealous
Christian shall not preach an Eng
lish variant of anti Semitism in the
local ghetto. IT the inhabitants of
the district wish to know what can
be said against their religion, they
have abundant opportunities all
around them. They can find church
IS and chapels in every direction,
and it will be strange if on the no.
tiee boards of some of them they do
not find q course of II an
nounced which will exactly meet
their case. But they have q right to
be protected On their own doorsters
and to beuble to open their windows
without annoyance to their convic-
tions.-London Spectator.

yet others for the various kinds of
merchandise that is customary to
display in windows. One might i'm
sgine that the stores are full of peo.
pile who can turn in and drape win
dows; but, without long experience
end continued study of the methods
of handling whatever line of goods
8 ma is m. st fitted to work in, it is
utterly impossible for him to ar
range anything so that it would look
at all neat, not to say attractive.
Another point that has to be taken
into consideration is the shape of
the window. The experienced man
knows just where to start tie work.
and in finishing the job there are no
holes through which one can see the
background. Sometimes it is the
purpose of the dresser to show tie
background, and to do this in an at
tractive way is one of the most diff
cult operations with which he has
to deal. In many instances it is the
background tl.at catches the eye,
and in looking at it enc sees what a
cheap and pretty lot of neckties or
the like cal be purchased inside.

hats only to ladies. All over the con.

At one period in the history of
racing-say 30 or 40 ycars ago-there
was a class of rich men (''plungers''
they ere called) who lost and won
immense sums. Sir Joseph Hawloy
was n of the NEST famous and sue
:essful; the Marquis Ct Hastings
had the most riotous and tragic ca
reer; the late Sir Robert Peel was
one CT the most recent survivors.
But the days of gigantic turf speou.
lation by individuals are over. A
bet is seldom taken in thousands,
and even in connection with the big
gest races for an owner to put on
Is. 900 among several bookmakers
would be considered very heavy
business. Such things were nothing
like uncommon in the last genera
ton.
"reminiscences of those days were
stirred for a moment eight or nine
years ago, when a person known as
the Jubilee Pluneer managed to rid
himself OF a quarter OF a million OF
money in the course of Is months.
But the vastly greater proportion of
the enormous stream of money
which flows backward and forward
in connection with the race course
and its doings today is provided
from the pockets CT ''all sorts and
conditions of men," 1t comes from
the sporting aristocrat. the idle man
of means, the merchant, the doctor,
the shop assistant. the artisan, the
actor. the farmer, the barber, the
waiter, the cabman and ever the
