I read a very Interesting statement re cently that the three late dukea of Athole planted in their lifetime 14,000,000 larch trees on their estates. The writer who made this statement seemed to doubt the fact on the ground that he imagined that their graces did so with their own hands, which would necessitate each of them planting aoo trees a day for sixty years. When, however, a man is said to "plant" an estate it does not any more moan that be does so personally than, when it is said that man "furnishes" a house, he makes his own cabinets and tables, or nuts down bis own carpets though our grandfathers and grandmothers, aa often as not, actually did the latter, aa well as good souls 1 se wing the various strips of carpets together. If, however, it comes to planting trees with one's own bunds, there ia still some thing to be aaid. Charles II planted nearly all . tho trees in the avwiue at Windsor with his, and some that are now in St. James' park; and Goorge UI had a mania for planting his own trees, as well aa innumerable grape vinos. Her present majesty bus plauted over 5,000 trees ln..viiriim:t places she baa visited, and the Prtpea of Wales cannot b) very far behind her in also doing so, Gallg-' nani'i MeesoAifer. THC WISE MAN.

The gentlemen of (Vive house aat npoti the piataa, .looking and looking at the ana aa it tumbled In, when the evening eoiifli, laden with piled up baggage and paxaengera, came rattling down the turn pike and made the sweep which lod up to tba hotel. This In itarlf waa matter enough for attention, but whan, in the wake of tbe yellow old roach, junt be yond it clouds of dust, a glittering little pony carriage rolled swiftly on, a doaen pair of Uny eyea grew lutertattod and ex peetaut Tbe coach drew up with a scientific nVnrUti, and tbe sweating horses stood panting with the tug through tba heavy aaud, while the driver leaped down, and with much tumbling and crashing of trunks the old stage wa nnludoncd. Meanwhile the pony carriage, holding two girl., mlled smoothly up to a aide door, and three waiters were Instantly In attendance upon them, Tbe Sadie alighted, and tha two din appeared at the private door of tbe Cove boiwe, "Wlio are thejT asked Paul Ilanover, withdrawing his cigar from his mouth and turning bis betidMiue blue eyea on the friend at hi elbow. Fane King, who waa looking thought fully out at ea, replied quietly tbit he did not know, "Il's Miss Payaou, of New York," said Will Mi Keuaie, who knew everybody. "At any rate, that her turnout." "Which olie'f" "Tlie blonde, I snppuse. I never met her, but site waa at Newport with my sinter lut wwffl, Nice, ain't slier' "Who i the other one?" "I don't knbw, poor cmisiu, I pre sume." Hanover and King relapse to their clgnrs: but everybody wa thinking more or leas of Mies Payann. Tlie hulies appeared at supper. There were ouly five of their party the old gentleman, tlie two young ladiraand an invalid child of I I with her nurse. It wai soon remarked that they appeared ini.ueivnt for themselves, and neither sought nor received acquaintance. The fa. e of tbe blonde girl wa as jolie with out the jia key hat a with it, but the profile of her coufpanion ouly waa to be seen. A broad black ribbon bound around the chin and nearly concealing a wealth of rich brown hair revesded only the side view of a set of regular feature and one smooth, fresh cheek. "What can be the uiatterr questioned tbe ladies one of the other. Ho, without the least possible Informa tion on Uie subject, Alice Payaon wa decided to lie an object of misfortune and coui4ido!i, while nnconcnaled ad miral urn and adulation were offered the other one. I cannot say that either appeared lunch aflected by the regard of those around them, Ccrtaiuly they spoke to no one for at least three weeks. People became diecoltragod about making their ac quaintance, and few more attempts were tried. But things Inevitably changed. One evening when all Cor house waa in the surf a scream arose. The arream waa followed by a f rautic cry: "Alice! Oh, Alicel She Is drowning! Save herl save her! save her!" "Who can swim?" wa the cry. Long before it was answered Farnj Ring was seen striking out boldly for tbe spot. But he had somo forty rods to swim, and it was pndmblu tliat Alice Parson had sunk for Uie second time while the strong tide swelled against the rocks. "Swim, man, swim!" shouted the old uncle npon the lieach. "Save her, oh, for God's sake!" cried Mand, wringing her hands, But within a few strokus of Fane King's ontstretehed arms Alice disap peared. There was already death npon her closed eyes and pallid forehead. He thought it was a corpse he clasped as he dropied beneath tbe surface and caught her sinking figure. It was with difficulty he arose to the surface. Thrice the great billows rolled over his bead before he appeared. lie could only hold himself and hia burden off the cruel rock. Already hia arm was lacerated with their sharp teeth, They had put out a boat, and It at hvtt came to his relief, Aa they lifted the senseless girl into the wherry they saw that the black ribbon had been torn from her face, and a large, dull red, dia colored mark appeared. It showed mow plainly In the otherwise, deadly pallor ol her sweet face, for sweet it waa, aud pure as a child's. They covered face and figure reverently, thinking her quite dead, and rowed back while Fane found biit wuy up the rocks to have his hand wrung sieechlestly by the aginiied old man. "1 don't think she is dead, Mr. Pay son," said Kano, remembering with a thrill tbe silken hair which hud washed against bis lips, "She cannot be dead I" She was not dead. In three days she appeared among them again, fairer, gentler, sweeter than ever, and frankly grateful for the interest everybody bi tntyed in her. And then it came out that theru had been a mistake. It was Alice who waa tbe beiresB and Maud the poor cousin, though aa beautiful, aa ra diant and perfect aa a Hebe. MIhs Alice Puyson, with the black rib bon replaced, tried to thank Fane King on the lirHt day of her reappearance, but her brown eyes filled and she ouly said: "You are young; life is sweet to you; it was noblo In yon to risk yours for me, Mr. King." Fane's heart swelled so that he hardly knew what wus the matter with him. But, somehow, the friendly clasp of Alice Payson'a light hand and the gaze of her swift eyes affected him as no hand or ayes had ever affected him be fore. The ice once broken, a bevy of gentle men strove for tbe attention of tha cous ins. Paul Hanover was foremost. , He was very handsome, fuir, brilliant, graceful, He wus not poor either. Fane remembered that bitterly as he saw him Btrolling with Alice on the beach or driv. ing for her the little pony carriage. Hia own peace and oomfort scorned suddenly gone. Mirs Payson'a gentle friendliness only made him vaoree. He waa startled one day aa if shot by Hanover remarking; "If you're not altogether gone with tba blues, Fane, I'd like you to congratulate a fellow." "Have yon won your lift on the trot ting matcbr "Pshawl bang trotting matches! Don't be stupid, Fane, Haven't I been riding with Mies Payaour "Welir "Well It is," pirouetting around the room and "napping bis fingers like 1 taunt. "I'm the fond belruthed of a lovely gill, after tba latent novel. Now, wliat have you In say, my respectable, moping friend Fane tried bard to coinmuud himself and not In-tray hia aecrvt. "Alice Puyson is too good for yon, Paul," he answered, with an attempt at being sage and cottiied, in which ha succeeded but tolerably. "I dare any, bnt it if n't her, Fane." " Taint herr" looking electrified. "Certainly not. The money's rrry Well, but that defect of hers -it's a deli- cute subject, but I really couldu't marry a girl with a disfigmvuient like that" "You mean that yon are engaged to Mundr asked Fan, hardly believing hia ears. "Kxaetly." "Why, I congratulate you, with all my Iwurl!" jumping up excitedly. "They are going away to-morrow, Don't you want to at them again?"

Horn In a conversation with a reporter saidi "Reports on the land awl people of Africa ar varied, Imt ail wbt have penetrated into tbe inmoat ret are unanimous in their conclusion that the slave trade ia the chief obatraction tt civilisation and commeroa. Africa had, until tbe past twenty yean, tbe name of being an arid, onbealthful country, be cause on Wide of a given distance little waa known of the land. While it u true that great tract of country are barren and no water exists, still by ex ploitation it has been proved that abundant snpplie of water can be ob tained which will make tha country blot- aotn into a perfect garden of flower. 'In the most arid part I war rtslted- Ogogo the people dig well aad find water, which is carefully stored for a time of drought Perhaps no tropical country baa a more healthful climate than Central Africa.

In confidence and suspicion, in easy anger and reconciliation, io nnde veloped instinct they are essentially children. Under evil influence, inch a the Introduction of inirituou liquor and other vice of civilised nations, tbey rapidly become demoralised." Tha idea of regarding these Central African in the same light aa Australian or Indian aborigiuea to absurd. When better known they will be looked npon as healthy children, imitative and eager to acqnire knowledge. Deprecating in every possible manner tbe horrible features ot the slave trade, tbe explorer thinks that by hoc est trade, a selection of good employes by the many organizations now eugaged in Central Africa, on the Congo and the great lakes; by justice, development of tbe reeourue of industries, together with tbe earnest cooperation of the mis sionaries, the prosperity of the great country and ita people will ha aa aesnred fact THE BLiVB TEADr 'I have lived in Africa," continued Capt Horn, "long enongh to assure my self that many a so called 'savage attack by African native was in reality 'a gal lant defense' from their point of view; that the low type African of whom we bear is often but a noble savage, degraded by contact with Arab ivory and slave dealers. During the past ton or twelve years meny white men and women have lived anioug the tribes of tbe far interior, and it haa been discovered that they are people of much the sain paaaiona aa Caucasians. Although easily degraded, they are alao capable, when surrounded by favoring circumstances, of rising in civilization and of grasping higher and better things. "In tlie far interior number of people in every tribe aro slaves. Prisoners of war, those condemned for witchcraft aud other offenses, and their families, weakly persons or those in distress, be come slaves. They pass from hand to hand, traveling toward the coast as the direction where the value ia greatest There they are collected by traders, Arabs, half caste and African. .This system of slavery can be abolished with the aid of the Arab traders. Assure them other modes of living and they will cease to barter slaves with the tribes that exchange ivory. 'That the Arabs have been invited to tha slave trade by tbe natives; that they profur ivory, and frequently take slaves ouly as the alternative; that the natives aulfer more at the hands of each other than of the Arabs; that the great traffic and most horrible features of the same are essentially African and the interior -are facta testified to by Burton, Bakor, Livingstone and Stanley. The slave trade ia in my opinion an African, not an Arab qneatiou, and while stories have been published of horrors and pil lage comruitted by Arabs at the south and of Lake Tanganyika and the north end of Lake Nyanza they wars untrue and exaggerated. The depredations were committed by tbe Wawemba and Wagaroganxe tribes after the departure of the Arab trader, who kept peace among them." San Francisco Cbron do. Maeaulay'a Memory.

It is a flat barnacle, rayed in the gray and white streak from a small central hole. The variety of barnacle coming from colder northern waters "gets sick," ia nautical phrase, in tbe warm southern waters where the whale oome to breed, and are easily shaken off by s little ef fort. Tha captain aaid that tbe right whale never ventured into these waters unless heavily loaded with bsmacios, whan they would be shaken off by breaching. In tlie old whaling camp opposite Ballast Point, on North Island, whales have been found so thickly in- crusted with barnacle that they have bad to be skinned on tbe underside be fore a knife or spade oould safely be used to cut np tbe blubber.

We are wont to regard the dog as the perfect embodiment of fidelity, and on the whole tbe good opinion of his char acter haa been justified. The saying of the German pessimist that he would cease to believe in truth but for the as surance of hia dog's eye ia a striking tribute to the species. But even Omda herself, one (opposes, would hardly claim this excellence for every member of the canine family. We are apt to forget that the instinct of attachment was developed comparatively late in the history of the species. Tbe dog ia by nature unattached and vagrant, aad only becomes attached and faithful by an in fusion of human grace. Hence the comi cal spectacle one sometimes sees in the streets a well meaning but misguided youth atteimjrting to keep a loosely in clined pup close to bis heels. And not a few members of the species appear to remain in this nnregeoerate state in mature years. Carnhill Msg sine. Seasick.
