This mpuntain ash has been growing for thirtY years upon a narrow ledge of sandetone, sprouting froze a joint in the masonry less than an inch in width; the main stem just above the stone, at the present time, has a di4tneter of five inches. The tree is fifteen or sixteen feet in height and possibly eight feet across its widest part; the branches are thick and numerous, and for acme years each autumn they have been right with the vivid scarlet berries peculiar to this species of tree. Protruding from a chin ik in a mortared wall, forty-two feet above the street, ex- posed to the glare of the un in summer and the frosts of many its :roots only havin ed interstices of masonr to penetrate in search o severe winters, the mortar - through which nutriment, the A TREE PHENOMENON. question may well be asked, where does thl tree obtain the elensents that enter lno the composition of all plant life? It is possible that it is sustained like the known air plants, by absorbing from the air and through its foliage the elements upon which it lives and thrives? Or &Is dust settle in the crevices? At different times similar questions h4ve agitated the scientific world, nota- bly in the easel of the Coliseum, that fa- mous ruin of Rome1 which was covered !Cr centuries with a vronderous growth of vegetation. Walls, arches &lid crumbling galleries were green w4h plants and shrubs, the qttantity not more surprising than was the variety and rarity of some of the • aim Various theories were advanced ti account for the phenomenon; somi ti ought that the mass of masonry raised s high in the air intercepted wandering g rms of plants, which the southern sun q ickened into life; others, that the b de that colonized there by thousands aid built their nests beneath the jutting fineze, had transported the seeds from distant lands; others, that some pro- ptsrty in the cement, prepared in the fi t century of the Christian era, had proved favorable to exotic vegetation. All was theoretical; no conclusion was reached. But the fact remained that many plants, elsewhere unknown be- neath the Italian sky, there 'blossomed d bore fruit. About the middle of the eighteenth century ain English botanist made an h, rbarium of "The Flora of the Coli- seum," which numbered more than 400 stinct species. A century ago it was decided that this growth might be, in some undefined Manner, prejudicial to the public health, and most of it was removed; to -day only si pie flowers, small shrubsnd vines ✓ main to tell of the luxuriant vegetation nich fringed and crumbled the ragged rapets of that once magnificent am- itheatre. Those who were privileged to see that ajestio ruin thus clothed in its garb of amity, lauded the beneficent mother ture' who, with vines and flowers, ndly concealed the scars of Time. 'A agment of verse from an unknown urea lends its poetic coloring to this osaio fact, adds a deeper significance the idea suggested and invests it with w beauty: • ere is no ruined life beyond the smile of heaven, Arjd compensating grace for every loss is given ; The Coliseum's shell is loved of flower and vine, d through its shattered rents the peaceful planets shine." a, ‚I • • They Ride on itans. buring the past year, while serving as the Commissioner Royal of the Congo tate for the delimitation of the Lunde ✓ ntier, the Rev.

An, average yield of red raspberries is about 70 bushels per acre. An aver - Age yield of blackberries is about 100 hushels per acre. 3. .A majority of growers find low -summer pinching of blIckberries best Lot - most varieties. 4. Growers are about equally divided in opinion as to whether- red raspberries eheiee tai pinched back at all in etannner, if pinched, it should be dome low and early. The canes should' be made Le Insiach low. - . 5. Evaporating red raspberries has not ;Yet proved profitable. 1 6. • There seems to be no immediate prospect that blackberries can be .profit- ably grown for evaporating purposes.. 7. Berry canes • which made . their entire growth after July 6th, stood the winter as well or better than these which grew during the whole season. 8. Removing all young .canes from a plantation bearing its last crop of fruit - materially increases the yield. , 9. Raspberries and blackberries can be successfully grown under glass, but re- quire artitioial pollination and a com- paratively -high temperature. 10. Under ordinary 'conditions', thin- ning the fruit of raspberries and black- berries, other than that done by the spring e• pruning, does not pay. 11, Cutting off the bearing, canes early in spring does not induce autumn fruiting of raspberries. 12. Frequent spraying with water throughout the blossoming period did not interfere with pollination and subse- quent fruit -production. 13. The only remedy for red -rust is to dig up and burn at once every plant found to be affected. ;Cut away and burn all canes affected with antheacnose pits and spray the _plantation with Boa- deaux mixture. •Root galls weaken the plants, causing them to appear as if suf- fering from poor soil. Removing the plants and burning the xoots is the only remedy. 14. The dewberry of the Pacific slope is Rubus vitifolius. This species often bears imperfect or pistillate flowers. The Skagit Chief bore pistillate flowers with us and was. therefore infertile with itself. - RAILROAD BICYCLE. A Novel Vehicle To Be Used 4311l The Trask,. A great many novelties are constantly being introduced in bicycles. One of the most intetesting of these, which has recently been brought out, is shown in the accompanying illustration, which re- cently appeared in The Bearings. Two pneumatic bicycles are coupled togther A NOVEL -RAILROAD BICYCLE. by rods and four small rubber tired wheels are attached to these rods in such a position as to press against the inside of the rail head and act as flanges. These wheels can be turned up out of the way if it is desired to use the bicycle on an ordinary road. A third seat is ar- ranged over the center of the track, but not provided with pedals, the work of propelling being done by the two occu- pants who rids over the rails. This ma- chine is geared to 82 -inch, and it is stat- ed that the builders rode on it a distance of 15+ miles in 32 minutes. A machine built after -this design would make an excellent inspection car, and couldbe used to great advantage on railroads, where it is desirable to -have two or -three men travel at a high speed fig short dis- tances. Fence Posts. In actual practice there is but little differenee in the durability of posts whetheeeet with Op top or bottom end in the ground, 1h5. point of greatest decay is, nine times in: _ten, about sik inches above and Arlie w the surface of the greetibel, „e 'Chia FS caused by th�. con- tinuous changes from moisture to dry- ness, while the part which is far below the surface is not subject to changes, but is nearly always water -soaked, whioh with many Woods acts as a preservative. if any preservative is applied to a post, it should bent the point where it will be near the surface Of the ground both above and below, or, if they are charred, It should be at the point named. in setting posts where the lower end is be- low the action of .frost, the big end should be downward, as then the -frost will not have suclea leverage in raising it upward. A projecting knot left near the lowest portion set in the ground will have the same effect, or a notch cut in the side of a post near the bottom, in which a flat stone is placed. A hole bor • ed and a wooden pin inserted and left projecting a few inches will have the same effeat, the point being to have a weight of earth above the projecting surface, and yet below the usual frost line. ,It is a mistake to set posts eight to ten inches -in diameter, thinking they -will outlast those of a smaller size; for general usual, a fence post six inches in diametee is more durable than one of 'nine inches in diameter, and containing sette-half1the material, it takes longer to make the larger excavations. The larger ones are heavier to handle, and if pur- chased cost far more, with no corres- ponding benefits to be derived. As to durability, cedars' stands -at the head of the list, with oak as second choice. Sweden Takes Kindly to the Telephone. In no other country of the world is the telephone in so general use as in Sweden, and in no other is the service so cheap and At the same time so per- fect.

It is now proposed, by means of a submarine cable, t4 connect the Ncrwegian and Swedish capitals with Copenhagen.— New York Tribune. rey Council Meeting.

"At a temperance meeting held in our town, It may be a year ago, A Quaker lady rose up to speak, A Quaker lady, aged and weak, With hair is white as snow. A reverent stillness came over the crowd, As we all bent forth to hear, While she told a story in. Quaker phrase, Simple and sweet,like her people's ways, In a voice still firm and Clear. " In our household," she said, "many years now gone by, - When I was ei new wed wife, We had a servant much given to drink, Tottering hard by the fearful brink, Of a drunkard's death in life. Deeply I grieved o'er the man and his sin, And said, " I entreat thee shun Thy evil habit and take the pledge; Thou art so near the perilous edge - Abstain, or thou art undone." " At your table, good madam, 1 wait," he replied, "And when company comes to dine, I place three glasses at your command, Three glasses fair at each guest's right hand, And fill them all with wine. And every day by your chair de I stand, Throughout the whole of the year; And every day your glass I fill You always drink it, thinking no ill - Why shouldn't I have beer?' "The words of that man went home to my soul, And my conscience smote me sore ; I know thou haat done so, James,' I said, Thou hest, and I take the blame on my head - Thou shalt do so no more.' Greatly I fear that my thoughtless ways May lead thy soul to death; But if thou wilt abstain, by help Divine, From thy spirits and beer, I will leave my wine, From now till my latest breath." So we took the pledge, and for many, a year, We kept our temperance vow, And a happy home and children dear, Had James ; and the whole of us revere, His name and memory now. And when was dying, he thanked God for me, As only the dying can, That the Lord helped me to make that stand, Against evil ways, and to stretch out my hand, To save a sinking man. I trust that his soul is safe above, For Iv: sought the Lord:of a truth And I thank my God now I'm feeble and old, And the days of the years of my life are nigh told, For the pledge I took in my youth."

Mrs. Foster was from New England, and regarded life very seriously, never shirking or turning back from the path of duty which lay before her,.but she never realized that French was at all necessary until she visited Paris. Then she had to rely on a phrase - book, which relieved her mind of all care, but greatly exercised the mentarpowers of the natives with whom she came in contact. Her nephew, who was studying art in the French Capital, secured for her an invita- tion to a reception given by a famous French artist. Mrs. Foster went,- accompanied by her nephew (and the phrase -book). She thought she knew just where to open it and read her lines. She was introduced in French to the Artist, He spoke in French, her nephew replied in French, until the dear old lady got bewildered. But she felt that she must say something, so she opened the inevitable book and read off the first sen- tence which met her eye, giving it the true New Hampshire twang. The artist smiled sweetly, her nephew also smiled sweetly, but as Mrs. Foster saw the translation in italics after the sentence she nearly fainted. As her nephew led her away, however, he congratulated her upon her introduction and her knowledge of the language. "But, Henry, cried his horrified aunt, "did you hear what I said? I asked him how soon could we get something to eat— that's what I asked him—in French." Her nephew smiled; he would have liked to laugh. "Oh !" he replied. " Did you'? Welly auntie it doesn't matter, for he asked me what in thunder you said, and I said I didn't know."—From the "Editor's draw- er," in Harpers' Magazine for October.
