got up in the morning she trG~ on them
and broke the plate all to pieces. | re-
set the teeth on another plate, and she
went home again with them. That

"chiioi," or the "stUre tree" as Mr.
Porter dcsigpateS IT, is Of enormous
proportions, both in circumference
and height. 1t has quite a numbef Of
branches spreading out, widely and
carrying leaves OF ycllowish-grcen
color. something like the myrtle.
The wod is extremely fine and in a
green state is easily worked, and is
not given to either warping or split
ting.
The wonderful part about If is tbat
after being cut the wood gets grad
ualIy 'harier. and in the course Of a
few years II is absolutely petrifed,
whether left in the open air or buried
in the ground.
From this wood houses can be built

According sto a writer in the July
number of Harper's Magazine, cities.
like human beings, have distinct per
sonalities, are frivolous, progressive,
somber or gay, much after he people
about us, and produce as vivid impress
sions on the mind. Denver ard Chi
cago are cordial good fellows who slap
one on the back and cali new acquaint
ances by their Christian names. When
Salem or Annapolis is mentioned a
vision is invoked of mittened and ker-
chiefed old ladies drinking tea from
dishes of rare Ranking. New'York is
the splendent wife of banker, push
ing her noisy way in the world and daz-
cling foreign courts with her dia-
monds, much TO the disgust OF passe
Mistress Boston.

three beautiful rigdes running through
the property and at their base are a
number of gurgling springs of pure

chased by the trustees of the State
Normal and Industrial College it was
owned by land company, which had
surveyed and laid off a number of
streets and avenues with a view to
