If they t!o not grow . potatoes, except uheru tLciu arc Eu- Jivjpeaas to e it he j, they grow the . ...'..baiatairbich is sold boiled at every bItscI corner. Of tho xrater lily, sacred to Buddha, tbey cat the sugary P jtssods -jinil also a sore of sago made i T from its iroot, Water cLostnutp, too, ch'fen'bv tEc old lake' dwellers in . Switzerland, arc largely grown. Evory caaal is fall of floating islands of them. Tbey cnKivato fungi, loo, barying tho rotten stump of a tree siuch boars harmless ones and so in- T sknnjjia crop. Ono kind, tho linchi, 7" itonVbf tho emblems of immortality. ll gets as dry as those honeycombed fungi which tbey cat ia mid .France and keepH good for years. The 'VGotrzes jrjiso it as tho "foundation o their ambrosia and picture lheir gods witb linchi in their bands. The five frails are peach, sign of love, because . it bloFSoius in winter, apricot, plum, . .chestnut and jujube. Tho wild apri- ot3 is valuable- for the oil extracted ' from its licrnols. They first came vinto us2, siy tho Ohiicso botany i"- books, in the fourteenth century. A ' good and wise physican lived in a . district so poor that he scarcely ever got a fee, so, having found out the use or apricot oil, bo said: '"Ifyou can't pay, yon must do this: Let every patient plant a wild apricot on that bare bill to tho cast." Fifteen ye.ira went by; the bill was pretty , well covered. "Now," said tho good mm, 4,I am growing old, and after me . j 0:1 will perhaps not be able to get j our doctoring gratis. Let the village L undertake to keep p this apricot orchard, thnt has cost yon nothing. Throil will not on y pay a doctor and buy jis nria'i mdicins as you can waatj b it it will also d a g i j! deal toward si?;nr,li:i:j you old m5n and your orph-lis.'" Yax trees, as well as -"-"lallow -tree, aro uiv.ilruble to the Buldhisls, who, of course must burn 8no animal fat oa their altars. There aro hilt a djzii traos aal plan s J Arhich'mako bettor paper than the bamboo; what wo call rice paper, for instance, co:n2s from tho paper mui- brry. A Chinese nettlo and a giant bibioaa make excellent rope; and the " ;xamia has its leaves covered with threals just in tho right stato for spinning. When Virgil said: "The , .Sere3 comb from leaves n slender fleece,"o:fo used to fancy he was speak ing of silk, confusing, in fact the .jw'orm'mth tho fool it cats; bat tho latest idoi is that some notion of the i. jramiaaid its proJuco bad traveled as far ai the Greek naturalists on &":m4 Virgil relied. If any of your frie-jds aro homeopaths you will have lieard plenty about rbns; one of the many kinds, Ibe rbus Vermis, makes, along with the clae cocoa, added be- causo its juice is fatal to insects, the "famous lacquer. Great at dyeing, the "Chinese have managed to find out vegetable mordants; hair dyeing tbey manage in a i cculiar way. Tbey drink lheir dye. A six months' course of some vegetable dcccction is said to bo infallible; and was regularly used, wo are told, by tho Christians v to darken the hair of tho European priests, .that so thoy might escape de tection. Naarly all thoir dyes are g vegetable, tho impsrial yellow being ... got from tho root of the curcama; saffron and garden flowers, an! mignonette and all tho other yellow dye3 being held unworthy of this object. Eegarding their great skill in landscape gardening, 'a word abont the Pekia sauraar pal ace park. Visitors paint in glowing colors such a pleasure garden as 3u blah jdanued round bis "wondrous dome, by Alp, tho sacred river.' "Twelve iniles of peb led paths leading-llirongh, groves of magnificent round lakes into picturesque summer hoqsesj as you wandered along herds ot'fleri.wrfnlil amble away from be- r foreyoUi tossing their autlered heads. Here a "solitary building would raise -. .fairy 4ikeJxom a lake, -reflected in the 'blue water on which it seemed to ftofc. There a sloping path would fcjirry yoVinfo tho heart of a myste rious cavern leading out on to a grot to" in thet)03omof another lake. Tho variety of the picturesque was end- less and charmjng in the extreme. Tue'resources of the designer appears n ,to bavo beea unending." And what theccmperoribad ia its full glory around his summer palace every Chi--ndmaa .who has made a little money tries to have on a small scale around his housei It is the Hardens which, in thcabseuca of many of our xnodes of sknitatiou keep, the dense popula tion of Chinese cities tolerably "beathv.oriyes are great absorbers or Uad,anTl difTnsers of good gases. W have va gteaf deal still to leara PeejEvi: obstruction of travel on tho O. R. fc N. company's lines, says the Orejonian, shows how a'minorily party in the legislature might elect a United Stales senator. There is no danger of that result this torm. since nearly all tho members for the eastern counties aro Democrats, and tho Re publicans havo a majority over all; but it might not bo so every lime. Tho legislature ia required by law t procjad to tho election of nsenatoroi the sacoal Tuesday after it eXjcta aa ors inization. If a quorum is present tho election will ba valid, and tho members who m'ght arrive too lato "would have aotning to say aoont it. 1 ' Sha2o:i will have to pay dearly for his capers after nil, tho California court bavins decided that the woman on whom 'ho has heaped contumely and abuse is his wife, and as such is entitled to alimonv. But tho verdict is a surprise to everyone. Notice. vnrrnF.RTHE undf.icsiq.vkd agfnt 18 nor Cmt. Ism -I th itr. -hip, CUadtl.
