Some Historical Trees.

On the Island of Teneriffe is situated the town of Orotaya, formerly the capital and court of the principal kingdom of the Guanohes. It is everywhere known as the place where grew the famous “Dragoq Tree, ” celebrated for its great antiquity. Humboldt considered it to have been five or sic thousand years old. Sir John Herschel supposed it to be the oldest tree in the world. Other writers make it so old as to have witnessed some of the last revolutions which the surface of the planet underwent previous to the advent of man. Its immense hollow trunk was used centuries ago, as temple, by the Guanches. In the beginning of the fifteenth century, it was dedicated by the Portuguese to Christian worship. It subsequently suffered greatly from natural causes as well as from the vandalism of curiosity-hunters. In the beginning of the present century, a storm deprived this tree of part of its crown; and, in 1867, a terrible hurricane which swept over this part of the island threw it down, and completely destroyed it. Pliny states that in his time there was in Lycia a .plane-tree, in the trunk of which was a vast grotto eighty-one feet in circumference, the whole extent of which had been hung with a natural tapestry of velvet moss. The Governor of the province, on one occasion, gave a supper in it to eighteen guests of his suite, and, after the repast, transformed it into a dormitory, where they comfortably passed the night. Men were not inclined to believe this account, but it has been fully confirmed by modern travelers. De Candolle relates that there still exists near Constantinople an enormous lime-tree, the trunk of which equals in size that of Pliny’s plane-tree. It is 150 feet in circumference, and presents a cavity of proportionate dimensions. ' The Rev. J. Ray, an English clergyman, who wrote a valuable botanical work, speaks of an oak existing in his day in Germany, which was of such proportions that it had been transformed into a citadel; and another tree of the same kind, still growing in Normandy, has in its hollow an altar dedicated "to the Virgin, and is called the chapel oak of Allouville, where on certain days mass is said. Pouchet says he has seen on the banks of the Bosphorus plane-trees, the trunks of which were pierced with enormous cavities. He says, “In the neighborhood of Smyrna, there is one of these trees celebrated for its size and antiquity. The stem, which is hollowed right through, is spread widely out at the base, and represents three columns, which converge toward each other, forming a sort of porch beneath which a man on horseback can pass easily.” Evelyn and Loudon, in their learned works on forests, have represented several other trees, which, like the Plantanus of Smyrna, present openings through which a knight completely equipped could pass freely. But the wonder of the vegetable kingdom, in respect to its gigantic dimensions, is the famous chestnut-tree growing on the lower slopes of Mount Etna, called the “Chestnut of a Hundred Horses.” Count Borcli, who measured the trunk very exactly, gives it a circumference of 160 feet, and within its immense hollow has been built a house which shelters a shepherd and his Hock. The same traveler maintains that it owes its name merely to the fact that fifty horses could be placed within its trunk, and fifty round about it. Some botanists have thought that this stupendous tree was made up of several individuals of the same species, but the Canon Recupero had it dug around, and saw that the five trunks end in one single colossal root.

A Sunday in Norway.

Sunday came, and it was very pretty to see, on the evening before and in the early morning, the boats steaming up the fiord and down from tho inland lakes. One boat passed the yacht, rowed by ten young stalwart women, who handled their oars like Saltash fishwives. With a population so scattered, a single priest has two or more churches to attend to considerable distances, pastors being appointed according to the numbers of the flock, and not to the area which they occupy. Thus at Elversdale there was a regular serviee only on alternate Sundays, and this Sunday it was not Elversdale’s turn. But there was a Samling—a gathering for catechising and prayer—- ' at our bonder’s house, where the good man himself, or sgme itinerant minister, officiated. Several hundreds must have collected, the children in largest proportion. The Norse people are quiet, old-fashioned Lutherans,' who never read a newspaper, and have never heard of a doubt about the truth of what their fathers believed. When the meeting was over, bb many of them as were curious to see an English yacht and its occupants came on board. The owner welcomed the elders at the gangways "talked tcr dhenr inr their own tongue, and showed them over the ship. A had handfuls of sugar-plums for the little ones. They were plainfeatured for the most part, with fair hair and blue eyes—men in strong homespun broadcloth, the women in black serge, with a bright sash about the waist and a shawl over the shoulders, with bits of modest embroidery at the comers. They were’perfectly wellbehaved, rational, simple, and unselfconscious, a healthy race in mind and body whom it was pleasant to see, I could well understand what Americans mean when they say that, of all the colonists who migrate to them, the Norse are the best—and many go. Norway is as full as it can hold, and the young swarms who in old days rolled out in their pirate ships over France and England and Ireland, now pass peaceably to the far West.

The Introduction of the Tuberose.

The tuberose is a native of the East, and Linnasua gave it the name of Polianthes, from two Greek words signifying. a town and a flower, because it is generally cultivated and sold in towns. It was iirst brought from Persia into France in 1632. It was then but single, and double flowers were not produced till long afterward by a skillful florist of Bevden, named Secour. It has since spread all over the world. In Russia indeed, it flowers only for sovereign

and those who are rich; bnt in Peru it has become naturalized, and grows there without culture. The flower of the tuberose grows on the top of a very tall, slender stem, is of white color, sometimes tinged with a blush of pink. Its perfume is delicious, rich and powerful. If you would enjoy it fully, keep at some distance from the plant. It contains a poison, tradition says, and this is probably the origin of the legend that you have more delight in inhaling the perfume at a distance than in approaching too near. The flower, itself,. however, is in South America joined with the nasturtium qs a bosom adornment for ladies. It is the emblem of “dangerous pleasures.”

Rev. W. H. H. Murray in His Cafe.

I visited Rev. W. H. H. Murray’s case. The ex-parson was cooking oysters, and the blonde-haired, voluptuous woman who is his right bower stood behind the bar. I called her to me and told her I was an American who would like to speak to Mr. Murray. Murray came up smiling, and at once remarked do me and my companions: “Gentlemen, I. guess nobody will eat these oysters unless you do. I am glad to see you. ” He served the oysters. “I don’t know as you remember me, but I once had the privilege of paying you SSO for a lecture in Lewiston, said I. “Oh, yes; I remember speaking there,” said he. And, by the way, those oysters were scrumptious. I never ate anything like them. They were cooked in eggs some way. After a while I said to the famous man who cooked them: “Pardon me, Mr. Murray, but I want to tell you how I feel at seeing yon here. I know that you once had the power of standing before an audience of 3,000 or 4,000 peope, and actually making better men and women of them. It seems to me that, when you recall what you have been, you must feel pretty blue. I would if I were in your place.” “Oh. I’m coming out all right. You’ll hear of me again,” said he, without the Teast symptom of remorse, or of an uncomfortable sensation. “I’m as good as any of them,” he added. “There isn’t an honest minister in the country. ” He keeps a temperance ranch, and is making money, they say. —Montreal letter.

Bricks in Antiquity.

Though an ancient Roman Emperor boasted that he had found Rome brick and left it marble, the former has generally superseded both marble and all other kinds of stone, and even here in the heart of the iron industry, says an English paper, complaint is made that owing to our sulphrous atmosphere it costs more to keep iron painted and' free from oxidation than it is worth, and there are more brick than iron fronts in our heavy warehouses. The Greeks, though celebrated for their work in marble, understood the value of bricks, and did not allow them to be used until seasoned for five years, and their quality certified to by a magistrate. The Romans were skilled in their manufacture, and the bricks in the baths of Titus and Caracalla have .withstood the “tooth of time” better than the stones of the Coliseum. They introduced the manufacture into England, and left specimens of a deep red color, well burnt, and at this date better than those made by English workmen in the reign of Elizabeth. The Dutch made better bricks in the medimval ages than the English, and specimens of Holland brick are still found in some of the old Dutch houses of New York. In Asia the industry seems to have been followed at a time beyond, perhaps, the stone age, and the Chinese give the face of the brick the* texture of porcelain. The ancient Peruvians made bricks so well that a scientific Spaniard -thought there must have been some secret in their composition which had been lost prior to Spanish occupation.

Tattooing.

There are other ways than that described by “Fred” for tattooing, and that practiced by the Yukon Indians in Alaska, if followed by him, might make him less anxious to have a man-of-war tattooed on his breast. Instead of pricking the stuff in with sharpened bones or needles, they make a paste out of charcoal and grease, soak a thread in it, punch a needle through the flesh so that it comes out at a different hole from the one where it entered, and then draw the thread through under the skin. The operation is painful, for the flesh swells up and looks very much inflamed. Men tattoo only their hands and wrists with pictures es the nobler animals or fish, but the women? tattoo their faces also. These latter begin the process when they are quite youpjg, making birds, turtles, or some other insignificant things on their hands and wrists, while they draw lines of different kinds on their chins and the the lower part of their cheeks. As a rule, this tattooing is done entirely in blue, and now and then there is an Indian who has dotted red spots through the blue, —American Cultivator. Among the latest inventions reported from Australia is a machine for producing rainstorms. It is intended to force a rain supply from the clouds during a period of drought. The apparatus is in the form of a balloon, with a charge of dynamite attached underneath it. The balloon is to be sent into the clouds, and when there the dynamite is to be fired by a wire connecting it with the earth. A trial of this novel contrivance is td be given upon the dry districts of New South Wales, and the result is looked forward to with interest by some of the residents of that colony. The latest cause given for famines in East India iB the existence of an excessive number of goats. The theory is that goats destroy the trees, and the consequent decay of forests decreases the average rainfall. There are 14,000,000 goats in the Madras Presidency alone. A ir*w method of fastening tho strings of upright pianos has been invented by the Mason & Hamlin Organ and Piano Company, which is regarded as one of the most important improvements ever made, making the instrument more richly musical in its tones, as well as more durable, and less liable to get oat of order. —Boston Journal. **

A Bit of a Tale from the South.

Billy Makone is an irritable man, and has the thinnest legs in the world outside of an anatomical museum. One cold, blustery morning in December, 1864, his tent was pitched on a bleak Virginia hillside. He was indulging in a morning nap when Uncle Davie, his negro body servant, tiptoed in, stumbled over' something, knocked over the General’s cot and spilled him on the ground. Springing to his feet the irate General grabbed a sword and gave chase to the flying Davie. The darky jumped a fence, and feeling safe, turned to the General, whose shirt "was flapping in the breeze, and yelled: “Good God, Massa William, you ain’t trustin’ you’self in dis wind on dem legs, is you ?”

- , Storm Signal*. As the coining of a great storm is heralded by the display of cautionary signals, so is the approach,,of that dread and fatal disease, Consumption of tho Lungs, usually announced hi advance by plinpe- 1 , blotches, eruptions, ulcers, glahduiar swellings, and kindred outward manifestations of the internal blood poison, which, if not promptly ex p*l led from the system, attacks the dol ca o tissues of the lungs, causing them ta ulcerate and break down. Dr. Pierce's “Golden Medical Discovery” is the great remedy for this, as for all diseases having their origin in bad blood, it improves the appetite and digestion, increases nutrition and builds up tno wasted syrtem.
