r -xf A Remarkable Pumpkin. Mr. and Mrs. H. Russell, well-known colored citizens of Wabash, Ind., are in possession of a freak in vegetable growth that is a marvel to their neighbors. Last October Mr. Russell bought several large, yellow pumpkins whioh, with joyous anticipations of delioious pie on Thanksgiving and Christmas, he stored away in his oellar. Several of them were consumed and on Monx nTimnVin vaTnainaA U?J VU1J WUU RMM it was resolved to make that up into pies for Christmas Day. Mis. Rueaell brought the golden globe from the cellar, out it open and was astonished to find that, while the tiesh of the vegetable's interior was sound and weet, the seeds had sprouted and were growing at a lively rate. Somo of the leaves thrown out were two inohes in length and of a bright green color. The seeds themselves had apparently taken firm hold in the meat of the pumpkine, but how the miniature vine managed to thrive in the dark, airtight cavity is a mystery to all who have seen the phenomenon.

As Congress cannot mature suoh changes much before the last of summer, the outlook is somewhat discouraging. But at the same time the Yexatlons of such a state of things ought not to be allowed to fret the nervous system. Better times will come at last on more substantial basis.

The Sap of Trees. It is a subject of interest to maplesngar makers where the sap in the trees comes from, and there is much difference of opinion about it. The Bap do?s not come from the ground by the roots, but is in the tree, and has been all the winter, but in the form of etaroh deposited in the cells of the soft wood under the bark. When the weather becomes warm enough in the spring to set the vital processes in the tree into action, this starch is changed into sugar, and the cells are filled so full of the sweet sap as to exert a great pressure on them. Then when the spring begins, the warmth of the sun starts this vital action, and the sap circulates through the cells on the way to the bads, which will swell and soon burst into leal When thesagar maker taps the trees, the pressure of ' the sap on the cells foroes it to exude and flow from the opening made into the sap wood. There is no special current up from the roots or down to them; the tree is simply filled with sap all through the sap wood, and mostly at that part of it which lies im-' mediately under the bark, and where the new wood will soon be formed of the matter held in solution in the sap. The sap will flow while the ground is frozen, for it is the warmth in the air that causes the flow, and not the action of the roots in the soil. Thus it is quite useless to spread any little or other non-conductive matter under the tree in the expectation that if the ground is kept frozen the budding > will be delayed.- If this effect is desired the whole tree must be covered in and kept in a dormant condition by a low temperature all over. Thus young trees may be kept in cold stor1 age for months, and are so kept for i shipment to Australia, where the seasons are exactly the opposite of ours. ?New York Times. Great Historic Rivers.

" "Winter before last, when there was so ' 53 much suffering among the poorer classes, < and when philanthropy and charity were < stirred to their utmost to furnish to the , needy the necessaries of life, a soup house was opened in Annapolis, the capital of 1 <3 Maryland, for the first time, I am told, in its history. The fall preceding the oyster in- t dustry was active as usual, and employment . 53 given to many hands. On one Saturday 1 fcs evening a large packer paid off those in his < jf employ with brass checks for the respective / amounts due them. As the packer was i ? known to be a man of character and means, these checks were received as money by the dealers in that town, and by them presented < for redemption. On this occasion he issued i 2600 of them, and by the following 7/ednesday they had all been redeemed. Vho presented them? Through what branch of 3 trade did they come back to the packer? 1 You would, of course, suppose from the ( baker, the grower, the butoher, the clothier, and such like. Did they? Out of the 2500. ' 2100, or more than four-fifths, were handed in by the Baloon keepers.

Do you think there would* have been any need of a boud house in that town? On the contrary, would not the various branches of trade have felt the impulse of an increased demand, and they in turn would have been forced to send to Baltimore and other places for further supplies, and thus, like the ripple started on the bosom of some I)lacid lake, whioh widens and widens, until t reaches the furthermost shore, the cban nels of trade, once started, would have gone on, ever widening In their influence, until the owners of all the surplus grain, cattle, cotton and the like would have found an active demand for. them at remunerative prices.?Joshua Levering. a pointer fob boys. Edward W. Bok. editor of the Ladles'Home Journal, gives the following, among other reasons, for having never tasted liquor: "Another thing which led me to make up my mind never to touch liquor was the ' damage which I. saw wrought by It upon ? some of the finest minds with which it was 3 ever my privilege to come into contact, and I concluded that what had resulted injuriously to others might prove so to me. I have seen, even in my. few years, of professional life, some of the smartest, yea, brilliant, literary men, dethroned from splendid positions, pe owing to nothing else but their indulgence in wine. 1 have known men with D> salaries of thousands of dollars per year, a- occupying positions which hundreds would lp strive a lifetime to attain, come to beggary * from drink.

It is against the United States law to introduce liquor into Alaska; and the United States revenue cutter is very efficient in enforcing the law. American whalers, who very frequently bring more liquor than the law allows them for their own consumption (ten gallons) are obliged to throw it overboard. But, to evade the United States, laws, a new plan h&9 been adopted. Thus, last year a Ttrfcolnr tnnb nnn hnndrn(l barrels of whlskv to the Siberian coast. II it had anchored in American waters, the vessel would have been seized. Being in Siberian waters it could not be touched. The liquor was then landed, and the Siberians loaded it up in their skin canoes and the Alaskaos in theirs; and Mr. Jackson declare that the entire , United States navy could hot under these circumstances, prevent tne smuggling of liquor into Alaska. It is melancholy to reflect that, while missionaries are trying to m save this people, physically and morally, lg ' other men are doing all they can for the lntraduction of alcohol for their degradation. But so it has been from the beginning; the 10 forces of light and darkness are perpetually be in conflict. id le A STABTLI5Q LESSOJf. There is an ancient saying that the sins of a. the father are visited upon the children; of course. In the way of natural-law only. ?r Science lends its support to this declaration se and presents many sad facts in corroboration of it. Thus Dr. Paul Garnier, of Paris, who has been making a special study of the children of habitual drunkards, comes to this conclusion: "There is a flaw in, the very en nature of these young wretches that the psychologist sees clearly and notes with apn* prehension?the absence of affectionate ad emotion;" and when they do not become e- lunatics, he says, they show "insensibility and pitilessness," Here is a temperance lesson of startling power.?Workman's x* Messenger. A GRAND THING. Cardinal Logue, Archbishop of Armagh, Ireland, speaking in his cathedral at a meeting of the Confraternity of the Sacred Heart and the Temperance Association, lately, said it was a grand thing to belong to a temperance association, and the members of such bodies should always be zealous for the conversion of others! On the same evening ? * ' ?? * T UlSElop cmeeimu, ux uuicuum t?uu jlu^uiu?v, delivered an able address at Waterford upon the subject of temperance, saying it had always appeared to him that intemperance, as practiced in Ireland, was a source of more evil than in any other community throughout the world.?Sacred Heart P.aviow. WHAT ALCOHOL CAN DO. ' Alcohol regularly applied to a farmer's stomach will remove the boards from the fence, let the cattle into his crops, kill his fruit trees, mortgage his farm, and sow his fields with wild oats and thistles. It will take the paint off bis buildings. break the glass out of bis windows and fill them with rags. It will take the gloss from his clothes and polish from his manners, subdue his | reason and arouse his passions, bring sorrow and disgrace upon bis family and topple him 1 into a drunkard's grave.
