New York.s Great Parl.

An Engllshman was showing MS
friend, an American, through the
houses of parliament, in London,
the meanwhile commenting in a
somewhat arrogant manner upon
what he was pleased TO term the SUI
periority of the English public build
ings and parks.
There, he exclaimed, is our
magnificent Thames embankment, a
delightful spot Why, you have
nothing in your country to compare
with it, especially in that great New
York city Then, again, every gentle
man here owns an estate, and, let
me assure you, sir, such estates are
no small bits of property
This went on for a considerable
time, until the American, growing
tired, said, But, Lord de T. you
have travelled ia our country, have

"oh, yes, my dear sir Right

"Oh, yes yes indeed. 1
well, then, you see, we didn t
want anything in the line of parks
in New York, with, Of course, the
exception of a few squares, but OUT
side Of the city we wanted park,
and SO we decided to use the United
States as a park for New York city.

Our "Greenbackers should rejoice
over the fact that another paper money

put down the rebellion in the United
States, why shouldn' they prove effect

reasons General Weyler, who is flooding
the coast towns of Cuba with a1tistically
engraved promises to pay on one side of
piece of paper and a picture of we'll
developed tobacco plant on the other
side.
The experiment is bound to be sac
cessful, FOR the notes are made legal
tender in the worst way. ANY shop
keeper who refuses to accept these prom
Uses for their face value is subject to in
stant imprisonment in jails where con
finement means almost certain death.
OF course under the circumstances the
notes are accepted Weyler, however,
be raised, and the Cuban shopkeepers
are mean enough to try to defeat the
experiment by raising prices, SO far
they have only doubled prices, but each
one is trying to see how high he can put
prices, and the end is not in sight.
Come to think of it, high prices, con-
stantly growing higher, have defeated
all past experiments with paper money.
Perhaps Weyler, by correcting this little
defect, may yet demonstrate that Green
hackers are right and that cheap money,
by proper legislation, can be made just
as good as money made from costly

Trees In Summer and Winter.

1t has, perhaps, occurred to few
Of us that the boughs of trees occu-
py very different position in SUM
mer and winter respectively, but
Miss Agnes Fry has made careful
measurements of the height from
the ground Of branches of both wal
nut and mulberry trees in August
and December, and she finds that
in some cases there is q difference
OF as much as 81 inches in the
height of the same branch from the
ground in these two months. This
particular figure was obtained with
a branch Of a mulberry tree, and it
was found that in December a
weight Of 80 pounds was not stuff
cient to lower it to its summer posi-
ton.
In other cases there We're differ
ences of from 13 inches to IS inches
in the distance in summer and win
ter respectively of branches from
the ground. No wonder, then, that
the diagnosis of a tree in winter
from its general outline is SO diff
