The Cultivation of Hazelnuts.
The hazel nut will be introduced . largely
before long as a emarnercial product.
There are now millions of acres hi the
States of wild hazel brush; which is a shrub
about as high as a tin's head. Recently a
new species of hazel lomb has been discovered
in the state of Washington. It grows on a
tree sixty feet Ion, which, because the
stem is too slender t hold itself upright,
runs along the gr und like a vine. In
every pod it bears two nuts in place of the
usual one. Grafts have been taken from it
,for planting. In England hazel nuts are
largely cultivated. When newly harvested
they are dried in lofts, after which they are
packed in casks with- a; sprinkling of selt.
In parts of Europe they are used, like the
chestnut, for making 'read, and an oi is

NeWs Notes.
-Six families of Canadians who gave up
their farms in the vicinity of Montreal to
farm in the outskirts of Chicago, passed
through Windsor Sunday on their way back
to their old home, They found it harder
to make money in Illinois, they .said, than
in the Province of Qiiebee. ' -
-At the missionary meeting in Carnegie
Hall, New' York, on Sunday morning, llth
inst, $110,000 in jewelryi securities and cash
were contributed by those present to carry
on the work of spreading the gospel.. It
was the occasion of the sermon and offering
in .connection with the thirteenth annual
convention of the Christian Missionary _tl-
lilace, the climax of two weeks of meetings.
The Rev. A. B. Simpson, president end
founder of the Alliance, delivered the mis-
sionary sermon. •Ib was a simple address,
describing the Missionary endeavors of
Philip, Peter, Paul and Berna,bas. The
point that he impressed on the audience was
that the missionary was not a hero: He
simply was paying his debts to God. • Mr.
Simpson's plea had its .effecb. Women in
all . parts of the house were wiping their
eyes. Men were growing fidgety; Mr.
Simpson continu 1, telling of _nsissionaries
who laiddovnf1iir lives in their work and
of marvellous sa 'Bees to help them. After-
wards ushers passed through- the audience,
issuing pledge cards. It was impossible to
count the money as fast as it event in, but
at the afternoon meeting it was announced
• that the morning collection had netted
.$110,000, more than $80,000 being in cash
and stocks, the rest in pledges.

Bird, has recently descri bed in a Shanghai
newspaper her la testimstern j ournoy, which
tot:1k heithreugh parts of the province -of
Szechuen unknown to European travel -
erg. Leaving Shanghai on Jan. 10 last,
she traveled up the Yang4se by steanier
to Ichahg and thence by honseboat 300
mules to Wanhsien, where Mrs. Bishop left
the riner and traveled by chair for 300
railes to Pan-ning, in Szechuen. She was
much it noressed by the beauty and fertility
of the country, the size and haudsome ap-
pearance cif the farmhouses being espeeial-
ly remarkable. Coal was in great abun-
dance. Along the roadthe people exhibited
great hostility, but the officials did all they
could to protect her. From Paosning she
, Went by Sinstientsi through a hilly but
lees -interesting country to Mien-chau, still
findinn coal and salt in great abundance.
On her way to Kuanbsien, in the north-
west corner el the greet plain of tlieng-tu,
the capital of the province, she met with
very bad treatment, being attacked and.
stoned by the mob. One large stone strack
her on the head and .inflicted injuries from
which she suffered after hcr return. The
Cheng-tu plain was another marvelous ex-
• ample of fertility and wealth. Mrs. Bishop
says she never saw anything like it any-
where.. She traveled for 11 days across
tho plain and found it irrigated in abun-
dance in every part. It seems that ages ago
-if is not known when -a man, who has
had erected t) his memory the grandest
temple in Chi et, divided the waters of the
Min river in s tell a way that they fertilize
the whole plain and make such an irriga-
tion system that there can be neither floods
non drought. Knanlesien is at the base of
the hills, and is the center Inc the trade
of ..portherrr Tibet. Thence Mrs. Bislem
went up the Min river, which Chinese cons
sider the actual Yang-tse, to Wei-chau, and
etueniog tip the Li -fan -ting river, reached
the town of that name. •
Here the authorities did all they could
to prevent her from entering the Monts°
country .beyond. She persisted, however,
and found the Mantsze to be semiinde-
pendent tribes'who pay tribute to China,
but are ruled by their own chiefs. Weir

Village, there is a high, square tower. The
custonis are entirely different from those
of the 7.3hi1iese. The people are rigid Bud-
dhists, and the signs of their religion are
veryw here. Mrs. Bishop forind them
lendly and hospitable, and their country,
s well, indeed, as the whole tbuntry after
•caving the Min, "a comleination of Swit-
erlaad and Kashmir." She went up to the
ource of the Li -fan -ting river, a branch
f the Min, on the Tsuktishaa mountain,
nd crossing a pass nearly 14,000 feet high
esceuded on the Rongkai river, an Alti-
int of the Great Gold 4ver. Owing

f sodanre found. on this route. The riv-
s are ' torrents of emerald green and of
bonsiderable width and a succession of
rapids and cataracts the whole distance.
On her return Mrs. Bishop recrossed the
plain of Cheng-tu, descended the Min to
Kia -ting. and thence through fertile and
beautiful country to Chung -king.
Everywhere, except among the Alantsze, '
sbe found a hostility to foreigners which
astonished her by its intensity. She has
no doubt that the people in Szechuen do'
really believe that foreigners eat children
elsewhere she saw children w ing a red
or tear out their eyes, and in Ching-tu and
cross on green ground as a charm against
. foreigners. It seems that the sums paid to
the French missionaries •for their losses in
the riots has increased the popular resent-
ment. -New York Post.
• Advice That Is Easy to Follow.
A highly unconventional conference is
that which Dr. Schweninger, the Bis-
inarckian body physician, has been giving
in Berlin. The doctor told Berlin that he
did not believe much lia the vaunted dis-
coveries Of modern medical sCience. He
thought that 50 years hence they would be
laughed at just as much as these of 50
years ago were now. He didn't believe in
hygiene either, nor in corsets, which he
held to be the invention of a humpback;
non in tall hats, which were as effective as
haviag your hair out for the production of
baldness. Cut hats, and don't cut your
hair, if you want to keep it, was his ad-
vice. As to eating, if you had a weak
stomach, it must do what it liked With
you. If you had a strong one, you might
do what you liked With it. The doctor
said nothing about dainking, but he made
it pretty plain he did not think much of
regimens. You ought to be a law unto
yourself. He was once, the doctor said, in
a country -which he left undesignated -
where S01130 sheep and. goats had nothing
but flint stones to eat and contrived to get
fatter on that diet than other sheep and
eats in flOWOry meads. It was simply a
se of what you found .suit you best. -

Thick Koss Hides the Gold.
W. Sam Clark, an old resident of Ala -
Meda county, Cate who went to Alaska
aeveral months ago in search of a fortune,
made a tour of that country, and has sent
a report- to his friends. He tells of the
great suffering among the men and how
they long to come home. "I would not
encourage any one to come to Alaska this
year," says Mr, Clark. "This land of
glaciers* tuts Resurface rubbed and scoured
and its golden seed scattered, until every
stream and brook will show 'color.' Hence
the cry that all Alaska is gold, and the
metal is to be found from the grass roots
down, but not in quantities that will pay'
to work, except in a few localities. When
the quartz veins of the country are found
and the gold belt discovered and marked
on the maps, then it will be time enougli.

Napoleon's Last Official A 't.
Next day -Napoleon. performed 1 his I. st
official net, which was one of grat co
age both phYsieal and moral. The natio
al guard in Paris had ban reorganiz d,
but its officers had never been thoroughly
loyal to the empine, many of them bei g
royalists and sotne radicalrepublica s.
Their dieaffectioni had been heightened
recent events, but they were noverthel se
summoned to the Tuileries; the risk wns
doubled' by the fact that they came armed.
Drawn up in the great chamber known as
that of the marshals, they stood expectant;
the -great doors were tlerown open, a id
there entered the enape or, acconapanied
only by his consort and tjheir. child ill the
tirms of his governess, lme. de Montes-
quien. Napoleou anno ced simply that
he was about to put hims lf at the head. of
his army, hoping, by the aid cif God and
the valor of his troops, to drive' the eneniy
beyond the frontiers: There was silence.
Then, taking in ono hand that of the em-
press and leading forward hisl child by
the other, lie continued, "1 truet the
empress and the king of Rome t4 thecour-•
age of the national guard." Still silence.
After a- moment, with suppressed emotion,'
he concluded, "My wife and my son." No
generous hearted Frenchman could with-
stand such an appeal; breaking ranks by a
spontaneous' impulse, the officers started
forward in a mass and shook the very
walls with their cry, "Long liVO the em-
peror!" Many shed tears as they withdrew
in respectful silence, and that night, OD
the eve or his departure, the emperor re-
ceived a numerously signed address from
tbo veryanen whose loyalty he had. hither-
to - had just reason to suspect -Professor

Personal Questions. .
Personal 'remarks, even if intended to
be complimentary, are often coinplete fail-
ures. You nmy like plumpness, but do
not for that reason say, "Oh, my dear, you
grow Plumper every day," unless you are
sure the lady you 'address is not drinking
vinegar and taking fat reducer for the pur-
pose of having a waist like awasp. •
Never, above all things, tell. any two
people thstt they look alike until you know
exactly what their private opinion cif each'
other's personal appearance tinny be:
Never talk, masked, about the complex-
ion, size, figure, voice or manner of any
acquaintance. It is nob' good manners"
to flatter, and you may offend as deeply.
by a compliment as by n. criticism, althaugli
,you may think it impossible.
There are so many things to talk about
-for instance, the faults of others -that
there is no need of beginning a. chat ,uae
necessarily with any one. An inquisitiVe
person on a ferryboat once thus addressed
a penfect stranger:
:"I say, how did you lose your leg?" -
