Queer Trees.

An extraordinary PHENOMENON has been
noticed with regard to the chestnut trees
in the Avenue Louise, Brussels slfce
rba installation of the electrical trans.
Their foliage begins to turn brown and
drop early in August, to bud and even
to blossom, again in October. The trees on
the opposite side of the tramway BEHAVE
like ordinary trees, for they lose their fol-
iase in the late autumn and do not put
forth fresh blossoms until the spring 3D.
tanists are inclined to believe that the
cause Of this singular state of things is
due to the electrical current which passes
undcf ground acting upon the roots OF the
trees. which are otherwise quite healthy.

(Peareons Wee!sly.)
Her eyes were illum.ned with glance OF
pride
And Ter heart was love agloW
AS she softly tripped to her husband SIDE
When he opened the door TO 60
And there in her morning wrapper trim,
While a smile her red lips wore,
She, stood on the steps and gave to MIN
a goolby kiss at the door.
She turns to her duties with cheerful heart,
For she has not now TO learn
That the wife and husband must often part
When the daily bred's to earn;
And there's peace and JOY III her gehtle
breast
AS she sews or sweep, the floor
And every task is essaycd with zest
For the goodby kiss at the door.
And the husband striving in lifes rough
race,
Where there's little time for play,
Has many a glimpse of her smiling race
In his mind, through the busy day
And his look is tender, his eyes are bright
AS he cons his ledger DER,
For he thinks Of the welcome that waits
at night
And the goodby kiss at the door.
O. wives and husbands, the world is bright
When the heart with love doth glow,
And its path is smooth and its burden
light
If YOU'RE willing to make them so.
And the sun will shine through the darkest
day
And scatter The clouds that lower,
And the roses bloom along LIES way
For the goodby kiss at the door.

The display of heavy drdught horses was
probably one of the best ever seen in
Virginia, there being several four-horse
teams that, shaped up and placed on
Northern markets, would find ready
purchasers at prices ranging from six nun
