Brocklj n Trees* Brooklyn possesses some beautiful tree-lined streets, due in great measure to the work of it« tree-planting and fountain aociety. This organization, after careful study, has adopted a new plan of operation, which could tie followed with prolit in any other city where arborculture has tain advocated, but not practically carried forward. Wnder the new plan all members of the society <wn pla< • their trees and shrubs under the watchful cate of the skilled experts of the same, who will nurse and doctor them at all times for an amount auflicient to cover bare expenses. By the payment, of any person can become a member of the society, and as nearly all tree lovers and tree grow' i> are members it is easily understood why Brooklyn lead? in the shade and shrub line.

The Rubber Band Fiend. There Is n tauirp man about town who n making money witli both liauda, ns 't were. His stock In trade consist* •f a piece of rublier hose, a pair of seis•ora, mid u tongue which works with •xcecding smoothness. He drops In on mainess iner and asks them If they ire In need of rublier bunds; If so he will give them the very boat sort for M for Mio. The average man Is likev to any tlmt he has no use for ao large a supply, mid that starts the •onvcrsmlon. He of the rublier hose, rclsaois, mid tongue says that he inti <upply any iiuiiilht of rublier bands of he beta quality on the spot. He can tarnish 100 In a minute If the cutaoiucr wants them, and he adds that he will cut them from his hose right hen mid then-. The customer any* ic cannot do it. ami the rublier hand man smiles mid says he has a dollar ■irking somewhere In his pockets that uiys he can. More than one man has nit up his dollar on this game, only o lose It. fairly mid squarely, for the ■ubber-laind "fiend" gels out Ids seislore iin<l goes through his piece of hose >ven ns the hungry Imy gore through imnpkln pie. Those who have aven he operation .say that it is easy for tiin to slits' off 100 neat little robber •ings in sixty st*conds. A Curious Casa. First Assistant Postmaster General /ones had a curious case before him ihe other day. It was the claim of he family of a postmaster in a Western town for $230. It appears that while the postmaster was making up his money order account and had that amount of money before him which he was preparing to send to the proper authorities .he was stricken with paralysis, and the money was taken by a burglar. Mr. Jones, who has spent some time in Chicago, said that perhaps the postmaster was sandbagged, and the money secured in that way. At all events, he concluded that the money’ bad been lost through no fault of the postmaster, and he allowed the ac« count. Mystery of the Glass Snake. The glass snake .which, the American Field says is not a snake any more than it is a turtle, has a tail •bout two-thirds its entire lengthThis tail, like the tails of about all lizards in the I'nited States that I have met with, is very delicate and ?asily broken off at times. When a fourth to a half or even more of the animal is detached, and the remainder. and sometimes a larger part, squirms in sight, it is an astonishing spectacle, and 1 am not surprised that the ignorant should clothe the creature with mysticism. But. as a matter of fact, all sensible people know that the fragments do not reunite. for it would be impossible to fit together ihe ruptured blood vessels and shattered nerves and restore the anima! _ Disease Microbes Pasteur was the pioneer in those studies sf fermentation which led to the discovery »f the bacteria of diseases. It was he who found that the virulence of bacteria could be so diminished by cultivation as to be no longer fatal, on inoculation into susceptible animals Then followed the discovery that animals thus inoculated were protected against the disease, even when afterward inoculated with virulent bac. teria. The next step was the discovery that the Wood-serum of animals thus inoculated. when transferred to other animals. would protect them from the same disease. From these discoveries, in which Pasteur led. but to which other biologists contributed, lias come a great revo. hition in the defence nf man against tiisoasc microbes. Queer Accident to s Fisherman. A queer accident befell a fisherman in Puget Sound last week. lie had on a pait of combination rubber boots and trousers reaching up to bis armpits. By some mis. chance be fell overboard head first; tlie air in his trousers rushed upward and buoyed up his feet on the top of the water as though held there by ii life b It, and the fisherman was unable to get his bend above the surface. He cut such an odd figure, apparently walking in the water head downward that his companions were unable from mirth to help him for a few seconds, and when they got him out hr was more than halt drowned. The Danger of Bread. \ Boston dentist tells the following story: Within the past year 114 baa had come to him for professional treatment four Swedish girls. The teeth in each of these young women were really crumbling away. And why? In their native country,where the Swedish bread is baked at intervals during the year and hung on poles to dry and harden. the teeth had their proper exercise. But when these girla became subject to “American civilization, ” and were obliged to eat the pap and pastry in home! where more time is devoted to eater* ing to the taste than to finding out the needs and requirements of the body, the masticating of food was nc longer a necessity, and the teeth, finding they were of no more service, decided to rake themselves out of thf way. A Real Black Diamond. A real black diamond, or “carbonado." originally supposed to be a block of an. thracite coni, has lieeu exhibited to th< Paris Academy of Sciences ns the Inr rest specimen of Hie kind hitherto found ii the province of Bahia, in Brazil. M. Moissan, the exhibitor, states that the mineral, which is about the size of i laree Duchess pear, is probably the big. gest ever known. He estimates it, owing to its hardness and capabilities for tradi purposes, as worth >540,000.

TRACKING A HIGHWAYMAN, Hhrewil a* tbcCrliiililnl Woe. tie Could Not Kvude IhaOMcera, ‘•Big Foot" Andrews was t ha hardest man I ever »aw to track," add an upcountry abeillT yretorduy. “He left tracks enough, for he ha I a foot fourteen inches long, but he hail away of mixing up his tracks ao that wo never could tell which way he was going. “Nobody but the stage drivers and passengers on the couches ever rew Big Foot, and then he was always behind a Winchester. As soon as we would get word that a stage hatl he n held up we would atiike out for the scene of the robbery, and there we would llnd the big tracks that told us who the per|wtrator was, but the tracks would not indicate the direction lie took. We always found his trails accurately retraced step by step, ami by the time we would get things straightened out lie would lie out of the country. “Every officer in the northfm part of the State was on the lookout for the robber, and every man with Wg feet was under suspicion, but no uue "ould get so much as a glimpse of him. Finally I hired two Wylaokie llidlt'.n trailers, who could fol.aw a cat t'j<*\ over the wildest eou.iirv, hut they vuLx make nothing of Big Foot's trail. would run awhile in one direction, then try the track the other way awhile and finally gave it up in disgust. Like all criminals, however, he came to grief. Notwithstanding all his cunning, he was finally captured. One day 1 saw a natty little stranger of effeminate manners and appearance drop the wrapper from a roll of silver. 1 mechanically picked it up and immediately identified it as having lieen on the coin taken from the expires box at the last robbery. I immediately sized up the stranger's feet, but be wore a No. 5 lady’s button shoe. 1 asked him where he got the silver, and he became so confused that 1 took him into custody. When I searched his trunk at the hotel I found a Winchester rifle, mask, slouch hat and a pair of No. 12 boots, with heels on each end. The mystery of the Big Foot’s tracks was cleared up then.’’- San Francisco Post. 1023 Folio Edition of Shakspcare. The first edition of Shakspeare ever published was the 1623 folio, w hich was issued seven years after the poet's death. Very few copies of this editio princeps are known to exist, and therefore, the one that has lately been discovered in the university library of Fadua may lie regarded as a most valuable addition to our literary treasures. It is complete with the exception of the title page. The librarian found it in a box of uncatalogued books. It is thought that the loss of the title page explains its having had a place in the literary treasure, for there is a piece of paper pasted on the cover inside on which is written: “Tutte le opere di Shaksp.'are, Comediee Tragedie, Matico il trontispicio. In eapsa ad laevus." (All the works of Shakspeare, Comedies and Tragedies. The frontispiece lacking, (n the left-hand drawer.) The book must have belonged to an actor, as it is marked for the stage and these markings are restricted to three plays — “Macbeth," “Measure for Measure" and “A Winter’s Tale.” “Macbeth,” is the play most annotated.

Haynes, a chicken fancier of the State of Washington, has established a record which, along this line, is probably unequaled. His method, too, may result in the production of an athletic breed of chickens capable of doing the high jump act, and other feats which would add greatly to their value. The Spokesman Keview, of Spokane, in speaking of Mr. Haynes, says that he “has shown a fondness for chickens, anil for their especial benefit planted a large patch of ground into suntlours. The plants have grown to a considerable height and the Howers that, crown them range from eight to fifteen inches in diameter. The fowls soon found that ripening seeds were palatable, but were hard to reach. Mr. Haynes, seeit„- their effects and fearing they would f, t discouraged fully realizing that tae exercis ' would be beneficial to the chickens constructed a number of springboards and began training some of the older brids as to their use. The efficacy of the plan can bo fully realized when one .sitsand washes the chickens make a running jump, strike the board, and return with a fully matured seed as th or reward.” IF a man can have only one kind of sense, lot him have common sense. If he has that and uncommon sense, too, he U not far from genius. - Beecher.

Counting the Niar«. Numbering of the heavenly bodies, whether planet, satellite or star of the •mallest size, has been commenced at the Paris observatory by Miss Klumpke, doctor of sciences mid assistant astronomer, in view of the publication of an international catalogue of the stars. The idea was formed at the astronomical congress in 16H7, and already IS9 photographshave been taken. Some only contain a dozen stars, this being a celestial deserts but others are crowiled. even to the number of 1,500. The average number is !|:|s stars per photograph. Altogether the catalogue is expwted to contain aliout 3,000,000 stars. A census of the heavenly bodies has long been needed. Now a woman comes forward and will count all the stars. Hbo will l»e some time at it, but when the work is done it will be finished. Artist Melchers' Wooden Hhocs.

When he went to dine with the wife of the Burgomaster of a Holland town heappeared in this costume, and soaked to the skin by a hard rain.
