So Large 1t TOOK Three Weeks to
Move 1t Fifty Feet.
An unusual feat in the transplanting
line was accomplished recently here,
says the Pittsburgh Dispatch. An elm
tree so feet high and with trunk 1s
inches in diameter, with roots and all,
was moved so feet. The tree is the
property of Mrs. William Thaw, and
stood on the line of the Beechwood
boulevard, where it traversed Mrs.
Thaw's property at Fifth avenue near
Shady avenue.
Mrs. Thaw desired to save the tree,
and Contractor John Eichleay under
took to move it. A circular trench
was dug around the tree at a distance of
ten feet from the trunk. At depth
of six feet the workmen eXcavated I'M
der the tree, bracing the earth above
with timbers. The mass of earth, 20
feet across and six feet deep, in which
were imbedded the tree and it's roots,
was then boxed in with planks. Screws
were placed beneath, the whole mass
Re ised and placed on rollers and moved
so feet to where the great hole had been
prepared for it's reception. 1t was low
cred into place, earth filled in as the
screws were removed, and it stood as
firm as if it had grown there.
The tree was maintained in an up
right position by the weight of earth
at the roots. The whole mass weighed
20 tons. The work occupied about
three weeks, and q number of photo
graphs of the tree while IN transit were

LOOKING DOWN THE FUTURE.
A Peculiar Instance of Foresight In
France,


France.
One day in October, 1888, Lady A.,
living in Rue du Bel-Respiro, Paris,
found that she had been robbed of a
sum of $500 francs, says the Arena.
She notified the commissary of police,
who instituted u search and questioned
the servants, but discovered nothing.
Lady A when enumerating her serv-
ants begged the commissary to'exclude
from his suspicious her second valet de
chambre, youth of 10, very cookbook
ing, very respectful and very well quail
fled for his duties, who had been nick
named ''le Petit" not on account of his
stature, for he was rather tall, but for
feeling of delicate, protecting famil-
iarity which his good qualities had won
for him.
Meanwhile, among the friends of
Lady A there had been a good deal
of talk about certain Demoiselle

SCENES OF EXCITEMENT.

Feelings of Members During Diyi-
sion of the House of Com-lOns.
| do not know how there can be in
| ordinary civil affairs a sense of keener
excitement than is brought up by one
of those thrilling divisions in the house
of commons, writes Justin Mccarthy,
NJ. p, in the New York Independent.
All personal feeling is lost and drowned
| in it. Ones only thought, ones only
| feeling, is for even the momentary sue
cess of the cause he has at heart. Life
seems to have been worth living if only
to be part of that great scene of strug-
gle and of passion. Such moment
seems really, in the words of Othello,
to make ambition virtue"- For the
ambition of the vast ma jority of the
| members has nothing personal in it.
Nest of us have not the slightest eXpec-
tation of being invited to become men
bers Of a new government, and never
had any possibility of a place in the old
government. Therefore, the ambition
is, for the moment, entirely pure and
manly and wholesome. 1t is an amb:
tion for the success of the party, the
measure, the policy. the cause to which
one is attached. The excitement
, caused by great division never wears
out. The emotion caused by n great
division in March does not in the least
degree discount the excitement OF
critical division in June. 1t is one of
the few experiences in life which can
be renewed time after time without
palling on those who are privileged to
take part in it.

COREAN PAPER.
1T Is Better Than THAT of China or
Japan.

u
Japan.
The statement is made by a writer
in the Apotheker Zeitung that a re-
rlarllable kind of paper is produced in
Corea entirely by manual labor and
without the use of machinery. Its quail
1ty excels that of the very best made
in China or Japan. The raw material
used for this paper is obtained from
the bark of Broussonetia papyrifera,
which is collected in the spring and
beaten in water containing a large adj
mixture of wood ashes, until reduced to
thick pulp; this is taken il large ladies
and spread upon frames of bamboo,
and in this way formed into thin sheets
Another kind of paper is produced
from old scraps trodden into pulp,
much in the same way that grape Juice
is expressed in some countries-a pro-
cess of pulping which, though slow, has
the advantage of not breaking the fiber
so much as when machinery is used;
then, after the pulp has been made into
paper, the sheets are piled up to the
height Of six feet and cut into pieces,
to he again subjected to the feet stamp
ing-at the same time the roots and
seeds of the plant called "tackpoui' are
added, the soluble parts OF which are
supposed to give tenacity and tough
Eess to the paper.

KITCHEN RUN BY CITY,
At GrcnOble, France, an Association
Serves Good Food nt Cost

Housewives who think the coopera-
tive kitchen is so far in the future that
1t would be absurd to lool. forward to
1t for relief from daily drudgery will
be interested to hear that n Kitchen with
the same end in view as the cooperative
has been in successful operation for
nearly SO years, says the New York
Press. The Association Alimentaire, of
Grenohe. France, is purely municipal
affair. The city owns it and supplies
meals at cost in its own restaurant or
delivers them IT private homes.
Everything at the Association ALI
mentalre is as good as money can buy
The cooks are as clever as any in France
which is saying a great deal The pro-
visions are bought in the best markets
and are carefully selected. The serv-
ice is excellent. The dining-rooms are
OF several grades, according to the fur
nlshlugs and the attendance. SO that
ail tastes may be- accommodated. One
may dine there for three cents ON bread
and soup and be satisfied, or one NAV
pay more and have full course din
ner. In the best rooms, which are mar
ble-t1oored and decorated with much
elegance, there are walters who look for
tips as naturally as though they were
IN the SWEETEST of Partisan cafes.
PURE wines, which have been properly
aged, are served at about eight cents a
liter.
There is no financial profit TO the city
in running this huge restaurant, which
serves some $4,000 meals n day. The
charges are based on the cost of the ma
terials used, the employment of help
and the amount spent in keeping the
utensils, machinery and building in re-
pair.

NATERTowN, n. Y, April 16.-A
horrible crime was committed in the
vicinity OF Sackett's Harbor where
the Ninth United States infantry is

Few men have the courage of their

this more evident than amongst the
medical fraternity. For physician
to make known to the world, through
the columns of the press, that he is
prepared to alleviate the sutferings of
humanity is directly in opposition to
the code Of ethics of the old medical
schools. But old barriers and Gus

enough, and advanced enough to place
their light upon candle stick and
not under bushel. Such a man is DIR.

at the head of his profession. Not
only is he a thorol gh master of the
art of healing, having graduated from
some of the leading colleges of the
world, but his practical experience for
many years in some of the leading
hospitals, places him in the front rank
OF his profession, and to-day he is re-
cognized as the leading and most sue
cessful specialist
Facts are stubborn things, and when
a physician has effected the many
marvellous cures IL all chronic, ner-
vous, and special diseases of men and
women that this doctor has, he is en-
titled to the unlimited confidence and

Savant $40 Has Satisfied Hir1self
That Their Bite Ii Deadly.


Prof. John Van Denburg lately de-
livered an interesting lecture at the
Academy of Sciences upon the subject
Of the ella monster. A good-sized audi
ence was present, says the San Fran
cisco Call.
1T has become common suppoation
for years." said the lecturer, that the
bite of a ella monster was as poison
Gus as that of a rattlesnake, but many
of the scientists denied this Numerous
eminent scientific men stated that from
actual experience they had demon
strated that the bite was harmless. One
of these, DR.. Schubert, had himself been
bitten by one of the reptiles, and, be-
sides the pain occasioned by the ordi-
nary bite Of an animal, no i'll results
followed
The lecturer then stated that he had
demonstrated that the saliva of the
ella monster was poisonous. Its bite
would in almost every case cause death
ii the teeth of the lower jaw penetrated
the skin. 1t was the upper jaw of the
reptile which sank into the flesh Of DR..
Schubert, and as the secretion OF the
glands of the upper jaw was harmless
the doctor lived.
The speaker said that he had injected
the saliva of both the upper and lower
glands into pigeons, and in every case
where that from the lower jaw was in
jected the victim lad died in short
time. He showed why so many ami
mails which are bitten by the poisonous
reptile live The ducts which lead from
the glands to the mouth open between
the lower lip and the gum. For the
saliva to enter a. wound it must be
forced up from the lip to the teeth, and
thence into the wound. Thus it is hard
for the poisonous fluid to reach the
blood, even if the victim is bitten by
tho lower teeth
