Trees Shaped by the Wind. The effect of wind upon trees is powerful. Even the presence or absence nf forests max be determined by tin vhara :■ r of the prevailing wind gr the conditions tl at modify it. The wind acts as a din ing naent. giving a special aspect to many pliiuts. When it is almost always from the same quarter the plants show greater development upon one side. Tree.-, are smaller on lite windward edges of forests, and trunks ami brancln x ate bent t.i leeward. The deformations are most marked near the sen or in flat r gions. The cherry, plum, walnut, blael; poplar, ash and certain pines are very sensitive to tiie wind, but mountain [tines and certain lira offer groat powers of resistance, and these are recommended for reforesting wind swept lauds. History Made Palatable. Joseph Salvador, the French historian. and .lutes Sandeau, n novelist, made their meeting at a public reception the occasion for a dispute as to the respective place* which they occupied in the world of letters. “The reading of history is like a pill— I It needs the sugar coating to make it palatable,’’ argued the novelist. “Ah. but it is the ingredient which cures, not the coating.’’ remarked the historian. “Then let us divide honors,’' said Sandeau, “for if it were not for my sugar coating your historical facts would dry on the shelves.” The Duration of a Dream. One evening Victor Hugo was dictating letters to his secretary. Overcome »>y fatigue, the great man dropped into ti slumber. A few moments afterward be awoke, haunted by n dream which, as lie thought, had extended over several hours, and he blamed bls secretary for sitting there waiting for ‘ him instead of wakening him or else I going away. What was his surprise i when the bewildered secretary told him that he had only just finished writ lug the last sentence dictated to him. A Striking Simile.

READING IN BED. A < nstoni That Hm Been Followed by Many Writers. Johnson told Boswell once in the course of a conversation, in which lie praised the ■■Anatomy," that a man. if inclined to melancholy, should have a lamp constantly burning in his bedchamber during the night "and if wakefully disturlieil take a book and read and compose himself to rest." There can be little doubt that in thus indl- ’ eating an appropriate course for any . one afflicted with "constitutional melancholy” — his own trouble — he was stating his own practice. Many a book i the wakeful doctor must have turned ' over in the silences of the night, and this increases the wonder that a desire to read any particular work should take him out of bed unusually early. Gray must surely have been n reader iu bed. A man who wished to be forever lying on sofas, reading "eternal new novels of (.'rebillon and Marivaux.” must have been familiar with tiie faces of his favorites in the night i hours. Elijah Fenton, a now forgotten • coadjutor of Pope, was accustomed tv lie nbed at his lodgings, we are told. | and be fed witli a spoon, but Gray’s love of ease was not of tins type. Gray was a bookman, and most bookmen probably have indulged in the habit of I reading in lied. Lamb apostrophized his folios as "my midnight darlings,” but those “huge armfuls." as be calls them, were not bedside liooks. They were the companions of the long hours of candlelight in the back room of the quiet little “gambogish colored” bouse beside the Chase at Enfield. Wycherley, one of the "artificial" dramatists for whom Lamb wrote a quaint defense. made a habit of reading himself to sleep. Nightly he shared bis pillow with his favorite authors—Seneca. , Montaigne and Rochefoucauld—and In I the mornings made a practice of writ- ! ing on those subjects which had caught bis attention during the previous night's reading, with the curious though not unnatural result, as Pope has testified, that his writing was tin consciously a mere echo of his reading. Somewhat later, when Grub street . flourished, if so inappropriate a verb | may be allowed, many a poor wretch of a hack author was glad to write as well as to read in bed for the all sufficient reason that seemly clothes were lacking for going abroad.—London Globe. EPIGRAMS OF NOVELISTS. One crawls into friendship, i ne occasionally drifts into matrimony, but in love one falls.—Frankfort Moore. There is no place like the top, especially when It is narrow and will not hold ninny at a time.—Anthony Hope. Lore and friendship are stronger than charity and politeness, and those who trade upon the latter are rarely accorded the former.--Seton Merriman. It is the American’s regret that at present he can do nothing with his feet while he is listening at the telephone, but doubtless some employment will be found for them In the coming age.—lan M aelaren. There are two unpardonable sins In tliis world, success end failure. Those who succeed can’t forgive a fellow for being a failure and those who fail can’t forgive him for being a success.— G. H Lorimer There are two classes of people in the world, the people who are clever and the people who are keen, nnd you must never mix the two. They meet and touch, they are necessary to each other, but they never, never blend.—Katherine Cecil Thurston. Her (oats of Artus. Concerning a very modish woman the late Julian Rix. painter and critic, had this story to tell: "Mr. Itix, I've come to ask you a great favor.” she said as she fairly burst into his studio one fall day. “Everything I have is at your command. madam.” “I want to show you some coats of arms ami ask your advice about making a choice.” “Which side of the family do you wish to follow, maternal or”— “Oh. neither! The herald says I can choose any of these. I want something that will look well on whist counters.” “Yes. Well, what about this?” "That will do nicely. But don't you think I ought tn have more than one’’ ( do tire so quickly of things, you know."-New York Times. <«u«l> In England. Ch mi Is in England date back to an early period, for the Romans built two iu Lincolnshire—the Foss dike, forty miles long and still navigable, and the User dike.

It was toward the end of the eighteenth century that the greatest amount of energy was expended in the building of canals, mainly due to the Huke of Bridgewater and the skill of his en gineer, James Brindley. In the last decade of that century a canal mania raged. Hebuklua nil l.iuiteror. Once, so the story goes. Emperor Nicholas of Russia asked Liszt to plu> in liis presence.

CAUSES OF COLDS. (Inc of the Most Conimoi, of Them In Eating Too Much. The invariable cause of colds comes from within, not without. No one takes cold when in a vigorous state of health, witli pure blood coursing through the body, ami there is no good reason why any one in ordinary health should have ! a cold. It may come from insufficient exercise, breathing of foul air. waul of wholesome food, excess of food. I:.i-k of bathing, etc., but always from some violation of the plain laws of health. There can be no more prolific cause of colds than highly seasoned foods as ' well as frequent eating. These give no time for the digestive organs to rest and incite an increased flow of the digestive secretions. Thus larger quantities of nourishment are absorbed than can be properly utilized, and the result is an obstruction, commonly called a “cold,” which is simply an effort of tiie system to expel the useless material. Properly speaking, it is self poisoning, due to an incapability of the organism to regulate and compensate for the dis turbanee. A deficient supply of pure air to the lungs is not only a strong predisposing cause of colds, but a prolific source of much graver conditions. Pure air and exercise are necessary to prepare the system for the assimilation of nutriment, for without them there can be no vigorous health. The oxygen of the air we breathe regulates the appetite as well as the nutriment that is built up in the system. The safest and best way to avoid colds Is to sleep In a room with the windows wide open and to remain out of doors every day. no matter what may be the weather, for nt least two hours, preferably witli some kind of exercise, if no more than walking. One should not sit down to rest while tiie feet are wet or tiie clothing damp. A person may go with tiie clothing wet through to the skin all day if be but keeps moving. Exorcise keeps up the circulation and prevents taking cold. The physiologic care of colds is the prevention of the occurrence. The person who does not carry around an oversupply of alimentation in his system and furthermore secures a purified circulation by strict, sanitary cleanliness, thus placing himself in a [«>sitive condition, is immune to < olds. A starving man cannot take cold. A careful diet would exclude the use of all narcotics and all food that is not thoroughly appropriated. An overfed person is worse off than one who is underfed, because the overfed body is taxed to dispose of what cannot tie appropriated and, when not properly disposed of. remains only to be an element of danger.—Science of Health. Polaonoua and Ilarmlesß Suukea. There is a certain physiological difference between the poisonous and harmless snakes which exists very plainly in their manner of dentition. All snakes are objects of aversion and dread to mankind, so much so that to be bitten by a snake has at times beeu so fearful to the victim as to have produced death although tiie snake was harmless. Such is the instinctive dread with whicli these reptiles are thought of that it may lie desirable to have some easy mode of distinguishing the one kind from the other. This distinguishing characteristic is afforded by the teeth. In all poisonous snakes there arc only two rows of teeth, the fang or fangs being arranged either within the two rows or outside of them. The harmless snakes have four distinct rows of teeth, and when the bite shows this kind of wound and not any single deeper or larger puncture there need be no apprehension. Walking Fur Malaria. Obstinate cases of malaria that have withstood the ocean voyages, mountain heights nnd quinine dosing are said to have been conquered by systematic and continued walking. V.’bat the malarial patient wants most to do is to sit indoors. nurse his aches and pains or to lie down and doze. Advocates of the walking cure maintain that fresh air is an antidote not only to the malaria itself, but to the blues, which usually accompanies it. Their advice to the sufferer is to dress up warmlf if the weather is damp or rainy and go out to walk. Wear flannel next to the skin, stout shoes and simple hat. It it is warm, dress lightly, but carry a wrap to throw around the shoulders against drafts and too rapid cooling off. When one comes to think of it, there are few maladies on earth that fresh air and moderate exercise are not good for. The Spectroscope. Originally the spectroscope was applied only to chemistry, and In that limited field proved itself an invaluable aid in accurate analysis. By hold ing in a Bunsen flame a platinum wire moistened by contact with the skin the presence of a tew grains of salt swallowed a few minutes previously can be detected with the spectroscope. Indeed, so wonderfully refined is the work ot the spectroscope chemist that be can discover In a substance the presence of one tliree-mllliontb of a grain of metal. Didn't #ee Them.

DUELING IN AMERICA. The I-'li-si Fatal Mvetinir Wn» Upon Historic Bouton ( onimou. The first fatal duel fought in what is now the United Slates was upon Boston Common, between Benjamin Woodbridge ami Henry Phillips, on the evening of July 3. 1728. These young men had quarreled over cards at the Royal Exchange tavern in King street, i now State street, and under tiie influence of drink had agreed to settle their differences witii swords in the public grounds above named. They met at a | little after 8 o'clock in the evening, nnd Woodbridge was mortally wounded and was found dead tiie following morning. Both were gentlemen of good social position. Phillips was a brother of Gillam Phillips, who married Marie, tiie sister of Peter Faneuil, the builder of Boston’s famous ball. Woodbridge had not completed his twentieth year. He was a young merchant who had re- I cently been admitted to business as ti I partner with Jonathan Bewail. one of th" most active merchants of the place. Henry Phillips, a young graduate of the college of Cambridge, was about four years older than Woodbridge, having at the time of this melancholy affair completed his twenty-third year. Woodbridge was tiie son of a gentleman of some distinction in Barbados, one of tiie magistrates there, who had formerly been settled in the ministry as pastor iu Groton. Conn. The place of meeting was on the rising grounds of tiie Common, not far from the great elm, near where In the olden time a powder bouse stood. Small swords were used. No one but themselves participated. Woodbridge fell mortally wounded and died on the spot before tiie next morning. Phillips was slightly wounded and at midnight, by tiie aid of ills brother Gillam and Peter Faneuil, of famous memory, made his escape to tile Sheeruess. a British man-of-war then lying in the harbor, and before the sun of the next morning had fully discovered to interested friends the miserable result of the unfortunate meeting he was on his way to France, where be dlid in less than a year of grief and a broken heart.—United Service Review. A SHORT ANSWER. Tiie lleply That IHmnarck Made to mi Adm I ruble Speech. I like to think of old Bismarck as he sat by the window that opens on tiie windy park of Friedricbsruh in an old gray shooting jacket, a rug over bls knees, a pipe in bis hand, simple as a north German farmer. Ibis man- who bad almost held Europe in tec. A little while before this February day lie had been deposed from power. All the world knew that the old lion was sulking in his den in no amiable mood toward the youug emperor who had turned him out of doors, it was known that bis memoirs were written and that bis correspondence was set iu order. A New York publisher thought he might secure the papers in which Bismarck had told the real story of tiie birth of tiie German empire- that strange story of craft and heroism, littleness and grandeur. It was on this mission that I sailed for Hamburg. 1 had two letters for Bismarck, one was from a negligible ambassador. The other had been given me b.v a German statesman of some note witli whom in other days I had been a student in the University of Jeua. .My friend had been a familiar of Bismarck's household and bespoke me a kindly hearing. I sent the letters on from Hamburg nnd followed the next day. On the table at his elbow as he sat by the window I noticed my letters. The valet who bad placed a chair for me took his stand by tiie door. I said what I had to say. it w«s (permit me to affirm it) an admirable speech. For ten days and nights I had rehearsed it as I paced the deck of tiie stormy liner, so in tolerable Gerniau I declaimed it. It was dignified; it was diplomatic. When 1 had finished Bismarck took the pipe from his lips, said "Nein" and put the pipe back again. ’Twas the shortest answer I ever had in my life. I waited for a moment. The old man smoked and stared out into tiie park. 1 got up and bowed. I had rehearsed that bow and did not in tend to waste it. I bowed to his old hairless head, the flabby yellow jowls and big mustache, to the old gray jacket and tiie pipe, it was like salaaming to a stone wait. Then the valet led me out. In the park I regained my senses.—Vance Thompson In Success. Mark Twain Ml>«ed Ikr Huai.
