Tho Man-Enting Tree.
Dr, Jay writes from Madagascar to
the South Australian Register: If
you can imagine a pineapple, eight
feet high and thick in proportion,
resting upon its base, and denuded of
leaves, you will have a good idea of j
the trunk, of the tree, which, however,
was not the color of an annna, but a
dark, dingy, brown, arid apparently
us hard as iron. From the apex of
this frustrated come (at least two feet
in diameter) eight huge leaves sheer
to the ground, like doors swung back
on their hinges, These leaves, which
were joined at the top of Ihe tree tit
regular intervals, were about eleven
or twelve feet long, and shaped very
much like the leaves of an American
agave or century plant. They are
two feet through in their thickest
point and three feet wide, tapering to
I a sharp point that looked like a cow's
liorn. very convex on the outer (hut
now under surface) and on the under
(now upper) surface slightly concave.
'Iltis eoneavo lace was thickly set with
strong thorny hooks like those upon
the head of the teazle. The leaves,
i hanging thus limp and lifeless, dead
green in color,4iud in appearance the
massive strength of oak fibre; The
aptx of the cone was a round, white,
concave figure, like a smaller plate
set within a larger one. This was not
a flower, but a receptacle, and there
I exuded it into a clear treacly liquid
I honey, sweet, and possessed of violent
j intoxicating and soporific properties.
I From underneath the rim (so to
spelik) of the undermost, plate a series
of long, hairy, green tendrils stretch
ed out in every direction toward the
horizon. These were seven or eight
feet long, and tapered from four inches
to a half inch iu diameter, yet they
stretched out stillly as iron rods.
Above these (from between the upper
and under cup) six white, almost
transparent pit!pi reared themselves
toward th 3 sky, twirling and twist-jug
with a marvellous incessant motion,
yot'constantly reaching upward. Thin
as reeds, and frail as cpiills, apparent
ly, were yet five or six feet tall, and
were so constantly and vigorously in
motion, with such a'subtle,sinuous,
silent, throbbing against tho air, with
their suggestions of serpents flnyed,
yet (lancing on their taila. My obser
vations on this occasion were suddenly
interrupted by tho natives, who had
been shrieking around the tree with
their shrill voices, and chanting what
Heudrick told me were propitiatory
hy hi us to the great tree devil.
With still wilder shrieks and chants
they;now surrounded one oi the women
and urged her with points of their
javelins until slowly, and with despair
ing [face, she climbed up the stalk of
the .tree and stood on the summit of
L
the cone, the palpi swirling all about
her. "Tsik !" "Tsik 1" (Drink ! drink 0
cried the men. Stooping, she drank
of tho viscid fluid in the cup, rising
instantly again, with wild frenzy in
her face and convulsive cords in her
limbs. But sho did not jump down,
as sho seemed intend :o do. Oh, no!
Tho atrocious cannibal tree, that had
becn? so inert and dead, came to sud
den savage life. The slender delicate
palpj with tho fury of starved serpents,
quivered a moment over her head,
then, as if instinct with demoniac in
telligence, fastened upon her in sud
den coils round and round her neck
and arms, and while her awful
screams and yet more awful laughter
rose wildly to be instantly strangled \
down again into a gurgling moan, the
tendrils, one tiftcranother; like great
green serpents, with brutal energy and
infernal rapidity, rose, contracted
themselves, and wrapped her about in
folds after folds, ever tightening with
cruel swiftness and ravage tenacity of
anacondas fastening upon thoir prey.
It was the barbarity of the Laocoon

leaves rose slowly and stiffly; like the
anus of a derrick, erected thedi.-'c.ves
iu the air, approached one another,
and closed about the dead and
hampered victim with the fciient force
of a hydraulic press ami the ruthless
purpose of n thumbscrew. A moment
more, and while I could sec the buses
of theses great leaves pressing more
tightly toward each other from their
interstices, there trickled down the
stalk of the tree great streams of the
viscid honey-like fluid, mingled hor
ribly with the blood and oozing viscera
of the victim. At sight of this the
savage hordes around me, yelling
mildly bounded forward, crowded to
the tree, clasped it, and with cups,
'.raves, hands and tongues, each one
obtained enough Of the liquid to send
him mad and frantic.
The llarktnau in Court.
'Your name is?is?what?, asked
the Court.
'Davey, sir?George Davey/
'And you work at?what?'
'Drive hack.'
'Ah?ha!' smiled his Honor, ac
quiring sudden interest; 'this is worth
twenty dollars to inc. You are one
of those men .who stand on the edge
of the walk at the depots and shout
?Jinx !' at people.'
'I have to git passengers, sir,'

party in the country, there were one

every one of you yelled Mlax !' at me.
One seized my satchel, another
grabbed at my coat, and tin other
pulled me backward by the coat tails.
1 believe you are that man !'
' 'Deed, sir, 1 liaint.'
'Well, it's barely possible that I am
mistaken, but here's a charge that you
were lying on the walk drunk.'
'I wasn't, sir; 1 was silling up along
side a house."
'That's too fine a point to argue.
\Vcrc you drunk ?'
Only sprung, sir; only a little
sprung.'
'That's just as bad in tho sight of
the. law, and J ought to fine you
8700.*
' Crash us ? but 1 could never pay
that!'
'No; my object would bo to keep
you in prison all your days.'
??b, lot up on a feller,' pleaded the
prisoner. 'This is the first time, and
it shall he the last. I've a large fami
ly, sir, and they need my wages to
get their bread.'
His Honor took a long time to
think, and then replied :
'It is wrong to let you off. The
citizens will condemn me, and the
newspapers will blow at me, but I be
lieve I'll give you a show- You may
go, but I shall keep watch "of you.
You must mend your ways right off.
Instead of yelling 'lldx !' ataman,
do you smile, and softly whisper: 'sir,

you to some designated potn? V Prom

The prisoner promised, and was al

a sore heel.
Aa Kxvitijig Cdutest.
Last winter two of my neighbors,
Mr. Miller and Mr. Grant, lost their
wives upon the same day, dud both of
the funerals took place three days af
terward, the int.crinent.3 being made at
the cemetery about the ?mine hour.
As the two funeral parties were com
ing out of the burying ground, Miller
met Grunt; and clasping each other's
hand they indulged in a sympathetic
squeeze, and the following conversa
tion ensued :
Miller.?'I'm sorry for you, It's an
unspeakable loss isn't it?'
Grant*?'Awful ! .She was the best
woman that ever lived."
Miller.?'She was indeed. I never
met her equal. She was a good wife
to me.'
Grant.?'I was referring to my
wife. There couldn't be two best you
Miller.?'Ycs^iknow. I know
well enough that your wite couldn't
hold a caud!c to mine.'
Grain.?'She couldn't, hey?
Couldn't hoid a candle. Why she
could dance all round Mrs. Miller
every diiy in the week including Sun
days, arid not half try! Shu was an
unmitigated angei take her any way
you would."
Miller.?'Oh, she was, was she?
Well I don't want to be personal but
if I owned a crosseyed angel with red
hair and no tee h. and as bony as an
omnibus horse, I'd kill her if she
didn't die of her own accord. Dance!
How could a woman dance that had
feet like candle boxen, and lame at
that ?'
(I rant.?'Better lie cross-eyed than
wear the kind of a red nose that your
wife llourisbed arotind this comm ni
ty. I bet it'll bum a hole through
the coffin lid. And you pretend
you're sorry site's stepped out! But
you can't impose on me! I know
you're so glad you can hardly hold
in. She was the cliticklc-hendedst
woman that over disgraced a grave
yard; that's w hat she was.'
Miller.?'If you abuse my wife, I'll
knock the head off of you.'
Grant.?'I'd like to sir. you try it.'
Then the two disconsolate widower-.!
engaged in a hand-to hand combat,
and after fighting awhile iu the snow
the mourners pulled them apart just
as Mr. Miller was about to insist upjiii
his wile's virtues by biting off Mr.
Grant's nose.
hill Mahiiie.
In these stagl ant times people,
should be grateful for anything that
wii! provoke a smile. Two old color
ed ladies met recently in a grocery
store in Columbia, ami, while making
their purchases, of rourso "talked
church."
'Well,' said one, 'Brother Goldiu
Ifcis lost his house.' 'Why, how he
lose it ?' asked the other.
'Well, you know ho borrowed
money milch that 'sociation, whatever
you call it, that lends money (build
ing ami loan suggested it bystander),
that's it; Well, he got t ic money
outen bim, and failed to pay it back,
you know, so you see this?what's
his name? (building and loan again
suggested)?comes down hot on
Brother Co ding, and takes tho place
bodaeiously from him.'
Up lo this portion of the narrative
,? m ? , .v>tsas
the couutenance of 'th'o listening awter
had been expressive only of a pdlito
interest end mournful Christian
1 sympathy in the misfortunes of Broth
er Goblin; but when tho speaker vre*it

as well as other people? He's some

wouldn't be so hard down on a mem

it hereafter, that's one comfort.' And
gathering up her bundles?not in her
indignation forgetting one?she tossed
her head and inarched out of the store.
When last heard from she was still
I abusing 'old Bill Malone.'
How to Calculate Interest and What il
Will do.
The following rules are so simple
land so tute according to all business
j usage, that every banker, broker,
merchant or clerk should post them
up for reference. There being no
such thing as a fraction in it, there io
scarcely any liability to error or mis
I take. By no other arithmetical pro
I cess can the desired information ha
I obtained by go few figures:
j Six per cent-r-^Multiply any given
I f H^Wrer !$? tfoftWu' by 'ITfoluuntEer of?
days of interest desired, separate the
right hand figure and divide by six;
the result is the true interest on such
number of days at six per cent.
Eight per cent?Multiply any given
amount for the number of days upon
which it is desired to ascertain the
interest, and divide by forty-five, and
the result will he the interest of such
sum for the time required, at eight
per cent.
What it will do. If a mechanic or
clerk saves o:ily 2} cents a day, from
the time he is twenty-one until ho is
threescore and ten, the aggregate,
with interest, will amount to $2,900;
aud a daily saving of 07} cents reaches
the important sum of 850,000. A six
pence saved daily will provide a sum
of 87,000?sufficient to purchase a
good farm. '' "! ' ''
There arc few employers who can-'
not save daily, by abstaining from the
uso of cigars, tobacco, liquor, etc.,
twico or ten times the amount of the
six cent piece. Every person should
provide fcr old age, and the man in
business who enn save a dollar a day
will eventual!} find himself possessed
of over $100.000.
'It isn't so very late?only a quarter
of twelve.' 'How dnre you sit there
and tell that lie? I was awake when
you came in, and looked at my watch
?it was three o'clock. 'Well, isn't
three a quarter of twelve.
