THE ENGLISH WALNUT,

Possibly few trees in the old world are
more profitable than the English walnut,
which thrives in England and all over
the northern part of the continent sof
Europe. The wood is especially useful
for gun stocks, and for many articles of
furniture. eand is found profitable from
trees of ten years and upward. There is
always good demand for the nuts; so
there -arestwo distinct Hines of profit-by
the timber and by the fruit. In our
country they thrive in any portion of the
eastern states; although, as they pro-
gress northwardly, the tips of last years
shoots are destroyed by winter. The liv-
ing portions push out gain, however, and
generally bear as abundanbly as before.
In the vicinity of Philadelphia there
are numerous trees, planted by the early
German settlers, which bear every year.
Single or isolated trees sometimes fail to
bear fruit, on account of the pollen bear
ing flower maturing and scattering pollen
before the nut-bearing flower is in con-
dition!to.. receive it,; and, for this reason,
crops are more assured when a number
of trees are planted together. In this
way some of the pollen bearing catkins
arc conditioned SO as to be in bloom be-
fore the time that5the nut-bearing. flowers
make their appsarance.-Meehan 8

Boston from St. John. The train had

of Hayes's baker carts drove up to the
platform, MI. Hayes having been notified
ahead, and in the twinklingssof.an eye sit

eager to. buy loaf. .of. bread. none seem
ing to care for the other foods, such as
cookies, 6ioughnuts and pies, which the
average Yankee would buy.
A Journal reporter was Informed by
the leader of the party, that they had had
nothing worth mentioning to eat for two
days, and the way in which they ate the
dry bread went long way toward con-
firming the statement. The father of his
family would enter the car, and after
eaking off huge piece of a loaf, would
pass what was left to his better half, who
in turn would break it up and give it to
the eager outstretched hands of the child
ren. And the way they would pack their
mouths with the dry bread, with nothing
to make it pelatable, would make the Or

SEA SHELLS THAT EXPLODE.

A contir butor to the National Drug
gist describes the curious phenomena of
explosive seashells. He says: Walking
along the beach on Mobile bay, young
woman, relative of the writer, picked
up handful of little shells, left by the
tide, and among them several shells of a
small marine small the largest of
which was probably a half-inch in diam
eter. and the smallest some three-eighths
of an inch. She dropped them into her
pocket, and forgot all about them until
several days afterward, when an un-
nIea SAINT odor in her wardrobe attracted
her attention to them. On taking them
out of her pocket some fell ON the floor,
and in recovering them she placed her
foot ON one. The act was followed by an
explosion quite sharp, and loud enough
10 he heard all over the floor on which her
room is. Astonished, she concluded to
trv another, and the same result followed.
The shells were then brought to the wri-
fer who on examination found the
rnonth of each firmly closed by mem
hrane of greater or less thickness, formed
BY the drying of the animal slime, This
had probably occurred soon after re-
r,oyaf from the moisture of the beach.
and the little inhabitant of the shell dy.
inc the gases Of decomposition had quite
fiilsd its internal space. On exerting a
1ittle pressure by squeezing the she'll be-
t,yaen two blocks OF wood, quite loud
e~niosion was produced, the fragments of
~ she'll being thrown several feet. Sub
ssannnently, on trying the experiment, out
ef a dozen shells only two failed to ex-
piode.

EMPEROR WILLIAMS oRAToRY.


The Kiel speeches continue to occupy
and to perplex the German press to the
| almost entire exclusion of other subjects.
The Cologne Gazette makes most laud-
able attempt in connection with the lead
ing article in the Times Of last Friday to
explain the difference between the Ger
man and the English style of patriotic
eloquence. It observes that when mem
ber of the royal family in England speaks
on a public occasion he adopts "the calm,
matter-of-faot tone of an ordinary citi-
zen." He knows that few homely
words are sufficient to awaken enthusi-
asm when.they proceed from royal lips,
"since the magic Of the royal person exer-
oises greater effect upon the English
cool though they usually be, than upon
other nations" In Germany an enthu-
siastic speech, even if an emperor delivers
it, is not made so much of. 1.-THE words
are examined and weighed; little gener-
ally remains in the memory, and people
pass to the orders of the day and to their
usual business
The Rhenlsh organ proceeds to give the
interesting information that there are
two styles of eloquence in Germany-one
for the learned world and another which
might be described as the style suited for
societies of military veterans. "In ad-
dressing the second class special art has
been developed in Germany during the
past twenty -hvessyears, style which will
have its day and be superseded. For the
great mass of the nation there is much in
the new order of things which is SO new
that 1t can only be dished up for them
with the help of form OF speech which
appears antiquated to educated persons
and with the aid of a romantic coIoring
which is a survival Of the poets fancy.
The German Emperor often employs this
form of speech. He knows very we'll that
it Is not required in order to fire the edu-
Gated section of the nation, which forms
it's Judgment upon the expedition to Chi
ia and upon the increase in the navy
with cool political deliberation. The Kiel
speeches were not SO much intended for
this class as for the great multitude of
simple people who are susceptible to
warmer effusions."
With a humor which is perhaps uncon.
soious, the journal remarks that in Ger
many the number of those "simple peo-
ple'' is diminishing, since the Germans
are no longer only q nation of thinkers
and poets. but are beginning to be cool
and practical. 1t cautiously adds, how
ever, that hitherto no statistics have
been collected on the subject Germans
whose judgments is governed by sobriety,
we are informed, share the English view
that in these times and in the modern
German empire, voyage to China is no
romantic event like the Crusades. AT the
same time 'tthey rejoice that the leading
journals in England do not adopt an un-
friendly attitude to the enterprise in it.
self, and that the English press finds 1t
only natural. that the German empire in
tends to step into the place in the far
East which corresponds to it's commercial

WIT AND WISDOM
A Very Young Partisan.


At the time Of one of the late presiden-
tial campaigns, when even children caught
the infection of politics. Hattie, between
8 and years old, accompanied her mother
upon visit to some friends in Michigan.
Upon the first evening in the stranga

sleep came, she was SO excited it was diff
cult for her to compose herself At last
her mother said:
Hattie, dear, I am anxious that you
get quiet and go to sleep because I want
to go down stairs ana join in the evening
