"Ab, here is the man you suspected of cowardice," cried Glousseux, and Ramonet exclaimed, "Absurd," with an air of great dignity. "Here is he whose honor you assailed," said Monpate. "He was speaking in jest," observed Peignot, calmly. The two seconds looked at each other for a minute and burst into a peal of laughter. "What is the use of our fighting with each other in defence of these two cowards?" cried Glousseux.

The plan we have been following at th, Central Farm is to crop the ground, leaving space of four or five feet on each side of tht tree to be cultivated. This cultivator should be run over this strip every ten day: up to July 2.0th. The trees will now be left to follow their own course. The ground Will not be cultivated except enough to keep down the larger weeds; this is in order that the trees masa thoroughly ripen their wood. To ripen they must not be forced after the 15th or '20th July. The more liquid matter in the branches of a tree as it approaches winter, tho more likely isit tobe damaged from the frost. As the tree approaches winter, the liquid matter in the cells of the young wood gradually solidifies and changes into forms of starch and sugar. It follows that elk greater proportion of "A blow with the List produces it doll, is a bulb -like nodule situated a trifle below solid matter we have in the twigs and new• ly formed wood the less liable we are to have the tree damaged by frost, because the darmwe arises from the sudden expau- solid thud, whereas a slap is sharp, and re- the fat cells.

Hess results. Another, which may be de- scribed as the external cause, is brought about by a want of attentio to the scalp. It is necessary to the props growth and preservation of the hair that the skin should be kept in a healthy condition. By the use of greasy and oily substances, such as pomades, hair oils, &c., the pores of the skin become clogged. Ven- tilation is thus cut off, and the pores are unable to excrete the effete matter which accumulates beneath them, and the hair suffers in consequence. And, again, free circulation of air along the surface of the scalp is often prevented by the accumula tion of dust and scarf, which is brought about by a too sparing allowance of soap and water, and hence the essential supply of external nourishment is cut off, and the hair droops and fades. Hereditary Clergymen. The Church of England has had many examples of clerical families. In some cases these families, having inherited the presentation of a living, have, very natur- ally, brought up one of their members in holy orders to keep the benefice in the fam- ily. In others, doubtless, a strong theca logical bias has almost forced its members to enter 0e -church ; and it has even been suggested that these clerical families have inherited from the ancestors sermons, and thus having a good stock of these essen- tials, have chosen the preaching career merely to utilize their heirlooms. Ono of the oldest of the clerical families is the Collins family, of Cornwall. This was founied at the Reformation by one of the earliest of the married priests, a certain Edward Collins, who was instituted rector of Illegals in 1.133. He and his descendants were rectors of the same place for the next 151 years, a break of twelve years except. ed. For five generations the clerical descent of this family runs from father to son; then for two generations from uncle to nephew ; then a father and son ; diverging from the main line it goes for two generations from uncle to nephew, who is now living -thus making a total of eleven generations each represented by Done or more clergymen. For a period of over 3.10 years some member o1 the Collins family has been in holy orders.
