SIM MS II CHKSTNUT. r In nil the mountain regions of H* iln, France, Italy, ami Switzerland, their declivities half way up from the plains below to the snowy peaks above are clothed with magnificent forests of a species of chestnut, the edible fruit of which, imported into this country, is known as the Spanish chestnut. "Gardner's Farmer's Dictionary" contains the following brief description of this "famous European tree" : "The European, also called the Spanish or Italian Chestnut, is of immense size and longevity, trees being known which have a girth of sixty feet. Tho wood, except in very old, trees, Is admirable, being more durable than oak in moist situations. The bark is also used in tanning. It prefers a dry, sllleious soil, abounding In sillclous matters and potash. "The European variety is easily raised from the seed, grows rapidly, and hears In seven years. The Truit is live times larger than ours and commands a good nrlce in th n mnrl rat. I . V? UUl? | chestnuts are used boiled, roasted and raw. In Southern France, Italy, &c., they constitute tho bread of a largo population." Professor Bylvester, of the Royal flocletv has r**satly given a now solution of the "fifteen young ladles' prob- !

The problem is this:?In a '.tffhool of fifteen girls a rule has been lflHd down that they shall walk out ?i-ery d?y * in rows of threes, but tbat the same two girls shall never eomo together twlco In the same row. Tho rmo Is supposed to lmvo been carried out correctly during tho six working days of tho week, but, when the times comes for their going to church together on Sunday it is found to bo utterly impossible to continue It any further.

The desert ol .Sahara covers about 2,000,000 j sq.uo miles. Most ol it is about l,5oi) | leet above the sea level, hut a portion, 1 covering 1 'J0,000 square miles, is below the sea level, and a project for , inundating it Iroiu the Atlantic Ocean is talked of. An engineering party to j investigate the feasibility ol t hi* scheme sailed from England recently for the : Noithwest coast of Alrica.

These engineers before making this inland sea had better ascertain with precision , tho probable effect ol displacing so ' largo a body ol water. It mii/lii I chillier llu' equilibrium of the globe.

The best-known story ol Nasr-Eddin is often iound in collections of anecdotes; it is that ol his thrice fooling the assembly of true believers out ol a sermon by three successive jocular replies. The lirst lime ho ascended the pulpit, ho said, "O true believers! do you know what 1 am going to say?" They replied, "No." Whereupon he asked, "Ol what use to preach to such ignoramuses?" ami oaiuo down lrom the pulpit. The next time, when ho asked the same question, they answered, "Yea, wo know." Whereupon ho said it is useless lor mo to tell you;" and came down. The the third time, having counseled i n....i i.?- . i... ?

Whereupon ho promptly replied, "Let those wlio know iell those who don'tj' and oneo moio came down. This is an easier way to save sermon, w riling than exchange. Some ol the stories about Nasr- i Kddin are too much ot a bar-room < kind tor general society, ami (also omit- j ted in this account) are rather lUt; but i taken together they represent the llodia as a curious parallel, paitly to Joe Miller and partly to such historical butlbons as Archie Armstrong, Will y 1 V . / hour v whickly r Soimners, Tarlton, and their facetious '| fraternity, who were, perhaps, all of thrill, (nil ax foolish iih Iniiity.
