PA Y A BLE IN A D V ANCE. JOHN BULL IN AFRICA. REMARKABLE TREES. The C rafty O ld G en tlem a n N ow O w ns A bout 1,400,000 Square M iles. Som e o f th e M ore S trik in g C u riosities o f P la n t L ife. The latest acquisition of African te r ritory gives Great B ritain an unbroken line across the length of A frica from the M editerranean and the Nile to the extreme point of the continent. In all, this territory, held in various ways, from Cape Colony up to the “ occupa tion” of Egypt, is in extent about 1,400,- 000 square miles and has a population af 30,000,000. In the Nile valley it in cludes incomparably the best of north Africa. In Uganda it holds the key to the lakes of central Africa, nearly as large as our own lake system. The new treaty gives it the high land west of Lake Tanganyika, considerably higher and healthier than the eastern, in Ger man hands. The n e # conquests of the British South Africa company add the great ta blelands of the interior of subtropical Africa, in much of which w hite men live. Lastly, there is Cape Colony, the only vital European settlem ent in all Africa. As it stands this great high way holds two-thirds of all of Africa in which Europeans can live and carry on efficient administration. It has the most fertile tract in the continent in Egypt, its healthiest in Cape Town, its greatest gold mines and the only region from which tropical Africa can he con trolled. Still more im portant is its relation to African w ater courses. A steamer can start at Alexandria and run, when the m ahdi’s successor is cleared away, to a point on Albert Edward Nyanza, 125 miles from Lake Tanganyika. This runs to w ithin 70 miles of Lake Nyassa. From this lake the Shire river, broken at Murchison falls, descends to the Zam besi and the Indian ocean. From a nav igable point on the Congo is less than 100 miles to Lake Tanganyika. The Aruwini runs as near the Nile. It is possible to start at the mouth of the Zam bezi and reach the mouth of the Kongo or Nile w ith less than 200 miles of land travel, and the key and center to this great system is now in English hands. —Omaha Bee. Ou the Canary island grows a foun tain tree, a tree most needed in some parts of the island. I t is said th at the leaves constantly distill enough water to furnish drink to every living creature in Hiero, nature having provided this remedy for the drought of the island. Every morning near this part of the is land a cloud or m ist arises from the sea, which the winds force against the steep cliff ou which the tree grows, and it is from the m ist th at the tree distills the water. China, too, claims her remarkable tree. This is known as the tallow tree, so called from the fact of its produc ing a substance like tallow, and which serves the same purpose, is of the same consistence, color and smell. On the is land of Loo-Choo grows a tree, about the size of a common cherry tree, which possesses the peculiarity of changing the color of its blossoms. At one tim e the flower assumes the tin t of the lily, and again shortly takes the color of the rose. In Tibet there is a curious tree known as the tree of the thousand images. Its leaves are covered w ith well defined characters of the Tibetan alphabet. It is of great age and the only one of its kind known there. Tiie caobab tree is considered one of the most wonderful of the vegetable kingdom. It appears th at nothing can kill this tree; hence it reaches an aston ishing age as well as enormous size. The natives make a strong cord from the fibers of the bark; hence the trees are continually barked, hut without damage, as they soon put forth a new hark. It appears impervious to fire, and even the ax is resisted, as it continues to grow in length w hile it is lying on the ground. In Mexico there is a plant known by the name of palo de lechc. It belongs to the fam ily of euphorbia. The Indians throw the leaves into the water, and the fish become stupefied and rise to the surface and are then caught by the n a tives. In this case the effect of the nar cotic soon passes off. The m ilk of this plant throw n upon the fire gives out fumes th at produce nausea and head ache. The m ilk taken internally is a deadly poison. It w ill produce death or insanity, according to the size of the dose. There is a popular belief among the lower class in Mexico th at the in sanity of the ex-Empress Carlotta was caused by this poison.—San Jose Mer cury. _______________ OFFICIAL DIRECTORY.

Dr. McTavish of Edinburgh was some th ing of a ventriloquist, and it befell th at he w anted a lad to assist in the surgery who m ust necessarily be of strong nerves. He received several ap plications, and when telling a lad w hat the duties were, in order to test his nerves, he would say, while pointing to a grinning skeleton standing upright in a corner, “ P a rt of your work would be to feed the skeleton there, and while you are here yon may as well try to do so. ” A few lads would consent to a tria l and received a basin of hot gruel and a spoon. W hile they were pouring the hot mess into the skull the doctor would throw his voice so as to make it appear to proceed from the jaw s of the bony customer and gurgleout, “ Br-r-r-gr-uli, th a t’s hot!” This was too much, and w ithout ex ception the lads dropped the basin and bolted. Tiie doctor began to despair of ever getting a suitable helpm ate u n til a sm all boy came and whs given the gruel and spoon. A fter the first spoonful the skeleton appealed to say, “ Gr-r-r-uh-r-br, th a t’s hot!” Shoveling in the scalding gruel as fast as ever, the lad rapped the skull and im patiently retorted, “ Well, blow it, caru’t yer, yer ould bony!” The doctor sat down in his chair and fairly roared, but when he came to he engaged the lad on the spot.—London Tit-Bits. _______________ Address, F.

S. M. Audree, a Swedish scientist, has collected tabular information show ing the average w eight of peas in their pods. The lightest peas were always found near the ends of the pod. The average weight of a pea was greater the larger the num ber of peas in the pod, so that the largest pods contained the heaviest peas. The weight of the peas next the point of the pod increased w ith the increased number of peas in the pod. W ith the exception of the first and last peas there was but a very small differ ence in thé w eight of the peas in the same pod.

James Dodds: “ Dr. G uthrie once paid a visit to the Duke of Argyll at Inverary castle by special invitation. A large and brilliant assemblage of guests, including Mr. Gladstone, were staying at the castle, and before they retired for thq night Dr. G uthrie was asked by the duke to conduct ‘fam ily worship. ’ ‘ W ith great pleasure I w ill conduct it, ’ said the doctor, ‘but in the castle of Argyll we m ust observe the good old Presby terian form and begin by singing a psalm. ’ It was agreed th at a Scotch song should be sung to a Scotch tune, but the difficulty was to find a ‘pre centor’ to ‘start the tu n e’ and lead the singing. A fter a number of ladies and gentlemen had been appealed to and had declared themselves unfit for the duty Mr. Gladstone stepped forward, saying, ‘I ’ll raise the tune, Dr. G u th rie,’ and well did he perform his task .” - I»c 1 >o uct buy cheap reprints of ancient editions.

It is a m atter perhaps of little im por tance, hut as observers interested in so cial as well as political history we rather wonder how “ the royalties,” as people begin to call them, w ill settle them selves down into European society. Their present position is hardly toler able. Owing probably to some little no ticed change in morals and to a relaxa tion of the rule against morganatic de scent being recognized, the princes of the royal houses, the people to whom you m ust speak standing, are becoming numerous beyond all precedent. There are literally scores of them, all equal by birth, all claim ing topmost places and all more or less cut off from active ca reers. They may be soldiers still if they like, but they cannot be statesmen or embassadors or viceroys, much less mer chants or captains of industry. They are not perm itted to m arry out of their own caste, there are no islands for them to conquer, and they m ust not take to the new trade of agitation. They are not even allowed to m arry heiresses w ithout renunciations which are galling to their pride. And w hat are they to do for a living? The question is becoming a pressing one, for, rich as all royal houses are, ex cept our own, no fam ily w ealth will suffice to m aintain hundreds of families all w anting to live w ith the wealthy nobles and all deprived of the means of m aking money. The grand dukes of Russia, the archdukes of Austria, the princes of our own country, are becom ing clans, burdensome to the stocks from which they derive their grandeur, and at a certain point, now by no means distant, that fact will be officially recog nized. There are ‘ ‘rftyalties’ ’ even now, who, in English eyes, would be account ed poor men, and in the next generation there w ill be royalties literally w ith nothing, yet, if tiie present system con tinues, chiefs o f society and observed, as before this generation even kings were not observed except at intervals. W hat are they to do? W e can see nothing for it except for tiie dynas ties to let them go, to make a rule th at “ royalty” shall only extend to, say, the tenth person from the throne, and th at the rem ainder m ust sink back among the people and win titles or rank or fortune like everybody else. Their pedigrees w ill help them somewhat— they spring from strong races, and they may be, if they please, as well educated as their neighbors. They can help one another if they like, as Scotchmen and Jews do, and once lost in the com monalty the strange jealousy t>f them, which now keeps them out of public life, would speedily disappear. They could adopt names as the nobles’ sons do in business and gradually would come to remember their pedigrees only as sources of family pride, aud, let us hope, as incentives to specially honor able lives. We are not joking in the least or w riting w hat would be particularly foolish satire. Tiie maintenance of poor relations does actually press closely aud heavily on most royal houses, and in the next generation, if not in this, w ill have to be met by some system of dropping the collaterals. The people w ill not m aintain a whole caste in idle ness. The roads to activity once so wide ly open to all of royal descent are now closed to them, and the fam ily fortunes, great as they are, are insufficient for a burden which increases so rapidly. A d m it th at the A ustrian income from property reaches £600,000 a y e a r— a very large admission—and still, if CO archducal houses are to be kept up out of it there w ill not he much left for the sovereign to spend. The royalties of Europe not actually close to throues will, we are convinced, w ithin 30 years be disestablished, and we confess to a curiosity to see the form th at painful process w ill take. W ill oar children live to see the princes a noble but unpaid caste, like the descendants of Confucius, or w ill they see a Haps- hurg taken into partnership by tin Rothschilds or a descendant of Georg« I I I seeking fees as a barrister or an ocu list? There is a “ royalty” —a real one, too—who cures people’s eyes even now —suppose his son takes pay for that beneficial work? Seriously, the social privileges which accompany a descent from kings m ust w ithin one more g n- eratiou be confined somehow to a th in ner aud straighter line.—London Spec tator. Every intelligent farm er knew long before our experiment stations proved it that the cornstalk w ith its leaves made good feed when well cured. Much of the feed went to waste, however, be cause of the hard and disagreeable la bor required to save it. If we had a harvester for fodder corn that was as near perfect as some implements that have been devised for harvesting other rrops—one w ith which we could do the reaping by simply holding ourselves down on the seat—the “ other half” of the corn crop would not be wasted so often as it is. Inventors are now giv ing a good deal of attention to imple ments for harvesting the corn crop. We have machines for doing the cutting bv horse power, and w hile they do not save as much labor as we would like every little helps. W hat we need now is a machine, method or plan whereby the lifting aud carrying can be done by iiorse power. There is a great deal of this hard work to do from the time the corn is cut until it is dumped into the manger. There are a great many short cuts that, although new, have not been patented anti are reported for the benefit of others. An Illinois farm er gives through the columns of the Iowa Home stead a few hints in relation to methods that he has found useful. He says: To pitch fodder w ith a fork 1 take a common fork, cut off a few inches of the tines and then round the ends a lit tle on the grindstone. One w ill rarely be bothered then by the stalks sticking to the fork. Of course fodder gets ta n gled some when handled in this way, but where it is fed whole this is not especially objectionable. Of course, too, the leverage is on the wrong end of the pitchfork for heavy fodder, but for pitching off the load or raising to a height it comes handy. The discovery of a way to pull up shocks of corn w ith a team was worth many dollars to me last winter. It saves a great deal of tim e and perspiration. There is no more, w alking around the shock to find a loose bunch and no more pulling off stalks th at arc frozen fast or that have not been cut off. The method I employ is simply to take a rope 10 or 12 feet long, tie it to the wagon in front, and w ith the other end, which should have a hook fastened to it, pass it round near where the shock is tied. The hook should be ,hooked into the rope so as to make a slip noose, which should be drawn taut before the team pulls. A large shock w ill make a team scratch, especially when it is frozen down, but it usually comes npslick aud clean and can be dragged home w ithout the loss of anything to speak of if snow is on the ground. In feeding fodder a suitable rack is a great saving. I use a V shaped rack two or three feet back and above the manger, w ith six inch holes, but not quite at the bottom of the V. The feed is pitched in at the top of the V, but the cattle can reach it only through the holes, where they strip the ears, husks and leaves from the stalk, and the latter finally slides through also and reaches the manger below. “ For years,” says Capt. C. Mueller, “ I have relied more upon Ayer’s Pills than anything else in the mediciue chest, to regulate my bowels, and those of the ship’s crew.

H art of 1317 W a ln u t street, who has traveled in nearly every country of the world, says th at lie no where experienced such extreme cold as in the interior of Labrador. To illus trate tiie fearful frigidity to minds ac customed to Philadelphia’s m ild tem perature Mr. H art says that before m ilk ing the reindeer the m ilkm aid places a piece of string in the pail, allowing one end to hang over the side.
