History in Trees.

Ii hn been found that the rings Of
gr~Hth visible in the trunks 81 trees
have a far more interesting story to tell
than has usually been supposed. Every
one knows that they indicate the num-
Der of years that the tree has lived; but
Mr.. j. Keuchler has recently made eX-
periments and observations which seem
to show that trees carry in their trunks
q record of the weather conditions that
have prevailed during the successive
years Of their growth.
Several trees. each more than 1870
years old, were felled and the order and
relative width of the rings of growth in
their trunks were found to agree ex-
actly. This fact showed that all the
trees had experienced the same stimuli
lation in certain years.
Assuming that the most rapid growth
had occurred in wet years and the least
rapid in dry years, it was concluded
that out of the 134 years covered by the
life Of the trees. 8 had been extremely
wet, 90 very wet. Is wet, IL average, as
to the supply of moisture; l9 dry, 8
very dry and 8 extremely dry. But
when the records of rainfall running
back As far AS 1910 were consulted il
was found that they did not entirely
agree with the record of the trees.
The conclusion was therefore reached
that the record of the rings contained
o than a mere index Of the annual
rainfall; that it showed what the char
acter of the seasons had been as to sun
shine, temperature, evaporation, regu-
larity or irregularity of the supply Of
moisture, and the like.

CA6RlEL'S TRUMP.
How . Yorng Girl Cured Her Brother of
Practical Joking.

A certain excellent lady of Boston
has so great a horror of practical jokes
and all other sorts of foolish leyity which
does not regard the rights and feelings
of others, that it was with much sur
prise that her friends recently heard
her avow that she once in her youthful
days perpetrated a practical JOKE of her
own. SAYS the K0uth's Companion.
"Ah." said a young man who was pres
ent. $50 when Won were young you be-
1ieved in practical jokes yourselfP'
Not at all, she answered. Il merely
believed in curing young men Of the
practice OF perpetrating them if | pos
sibly could" Please tell rs about it,"
said the young man.
well | was II years old and was
probably about as timid as most girls
of my age. There had been a revival
of the Millerite excitement in our neigh
borhood and some people nightly eX-
pected to hear the sound of Gabriel's
trumpet announcing the end of the
world.
Il did not believe IN this. but | con
fessed at the dinner table one day that
if | should hear a horn blow in the night
| should be frightened out Of my wits.
| was foolish enough to make this con
fession in the presence OF my younger
brother, who was a great joker.
at happened that at this same time
another brother, a very little fellow,
was just getting over a mild attack Of
the measles. He was somewhat trou-
blesome in the night aud occasionally
called for a drink of cold water. 1t fell
to my lot TO take care Of the child, and
in getting him the water | had to pass
through a darkened chamber, in the
floor of which a stoyepipe hole had been
left open to allow heat TO come upstairs
from the sitting-room below.
AS | passed 5ut through this roos to
get the glass of water | noticed from
the appearance OF the stovepipe hole
that there was a very faint light in the
room below. | went on out, and as |
ryt-irned softly with my glass of water
l paused and looked down into the sit
ting-room.
There / saw my smart brother stand
ing on a chair, getting ready to thrust
the mouth Of a long tin dinner-horn up
into the stovepipe hole and blow a blast
to brighten me.
Il took a step or two which he could
hear and up came the mouth OF the
horn. And then, just as he was pre-
pairing to blow his fearful blast | poured
my glass OF water into the mouth OF the
horn.
Instead of hearing Gabriels trump
heard a great gurgliug and suffering
noise and the joker below went tum-
bling out of the chair to the floor. |
rushed downstairs to make sure that he
was not badly choked, but when /
reached the lower he had Il
ished, horn and all.
AT the breakfast table next morning
he looked so crestfallen that | could not
help bursting into a tit of laughter and
had TO tell the story. And my young
brother. | found, was pretty etfectually
cured of practical joking by the ridicule
that followed this performance
