The number of the blind in the United
Kingdom according to the last census
was 32,200, being at the rate of 879
blind persons per million of the general
population as compared with 950 in 1871,
904 in 1861, and 1021 in 1851. The
decrease in blindness would thus appear
to be gradual but steady, even allowing
for the fact that many who have very de
fective sight and are practically blind
object to return themselves as such.
The highest statistics which have ever
been reached in tho annals of suicide
were recorded at Berlin. Fifty-nine
persons attempted to quit "this mortal
life" in one month, and thirty-eight
among them were successful. One boy,
twenty women and thirty-eight men
made up the number. Twenty-two
sought death in the water, fourteen by
hanging, twelve through bullets, five by
poisoning and two by jumping from
windows.
The practical extermination of the
buffalo in a little over twenty years is one
of the most curious results of the rapid
developments of the West. A generation
ago the buffalo roamed over the Western
plains in countless thousands, but the
skin hunters soon began their deadly work.
From 1868 to 1872 it is estimated they
slaughtered three and a half million buf
faloes simply for their hides. The result
of this warfare was that the animals were
driven from their regular feeding grounds
and in a few years became very scarce.
Now it is estimated that there are not
'over 750 head on the continent, and thesi
are all domesticated.
"Why don't the English buy our
wheat?" read a well-known New York
Produce Exchange broker from the
World. ' 'The answer is simple enough,"
said he,"for any child to understand.
The output of liussia is supplying Eng
land, and if Russia falls short India sup
plies the deficiency. Thousands upon
thousands of bushels of wheat are
shipped by India to England and her
colonics every year, and each year the
supply grows larger. The cost of trans
portation from Russia to England is not
so much as from this country, and Eng
land is buying where she can get what
she wants the cheapest. That accounts
for it, and the idea of sending a commit
tee of brokers across the water to investi
gate and find out why the market for our
wheat is so dull Is all bosh. Their own
sense should tell them the reason."
The debt of Canada has grown to
§285,000,000, an increase of 812,000,00(1
within the last year. The public im
provements for which much of this large
debt was incurred are still public bur
dens instead of sources of revenue, as
was expected when they were building.
The population of the country increases
slowly, except among the French settlers
in the Province of Quebec, whose increas
ing numbers are a source of distress to
many iu other provinces. Between 1861
and 1881 more of the foreign-born popu
lation of Canada came over to the States
than arrived from Europe. There was
an actual decrease of foreign-born popu
lation within those twenty years of 100,-
000, though 500,000 came from the old
countries. Since 1881 there has been a
large removal of native-born Canadians tc
to the States lying along the border.
The Boston Cultivator considers that all'
these facts point toward ultimate annex
ation with the United States. This coun
try is too big and too attractive foi
another nation to be successfully organ
ized along side of it. Despite Canada's
effort to keep trade for us, it inevitably
gravitates this way, and she cannot pre
vent it.
The introduction of leprosy into oui
own country is traced by Dr. Morrow tc
four separate and distinct sources. It was
carried into Louisiana by the Acadians,
into the Northwestern States by Scandi
navians, along the Pacific coast by China
men, and emigrants from the West Indies
brought it to the Southern Atlantic coast.
Forty-two cases were recently reported
at New Orleans and one hundred at Key
West, while numerous other concealed
cases are suspected as existing in differ
ent parts of the Union. Dr. Morrow
therefore regards the extensive spread of
leprosy in this country as a possibility
strong enough to require the adoption of
legislative measures for the isolation of
every leper, and to prevent the immigra
tion from foreign countries of ihose who
have in their systems the seeds of the
frightful and so far incurable malady.
Contrary to the opinion of many foreign
physicians of eminence, he maintains,
from his personal observation of leprosy
in the Sandwich Islands, that there is
"the most abundant and conclusive proof
of its eminent contagiousness." If that
is the case, of course, every leper is dan
gerous, observes the New York Sun.
Nor is it safe to assume that the suscepti
bility to leprosy is extinguished by civili
zation. As Dr. Morrow says, the spread
of leprosy in the Sandwich Islands has
been coincident with an advanced civili
zation of the natives.
"I am cutting a swell," as the surgeon
remarked while lancing a boil.
A VALUABLETREE.
A COCOA NUT WHOSE I'ItUITISOF
AN ENORMOUS fflZiE.
Where It is Kountl—How It Grows—
Its Stranjco Appearance—
Many Uses to Which
It is Put.
On a map the Seychelles group of
islands are represented by a dot not larger
than a pin head yet thc:e are thirty of
them, and one, Mahe, is eighteen miles
long and from three to live miles broad.
They lie nearly in the Indian Ocean :ind
just south of the equator. These islands
abound with interesting subjects to the
student in natural science, but among
them none is more 'wonderful or striking
than that famous tree, the Coco de Mer.
Nowhere else in the world can this tree
be found except on the islands of this
group. At one time C'urieuse and Pras
lin were covered with the trees, but trav
elers who have recently visited the islands
say that the vegetable wonder has van
ished from the first, but is plentiful on
the second. Ono of these explorers
was Colonel Nicholas Pike, for
seven years United States
consul at the island of Mauritius, which
is nine hundred miles distant, and to
which colony the Seychelles group be
longs. In describing his impressions of
the tree, he says:"The first appearance
of the curious Coco de Mer is disappoint
ing, and at a distance looks quite dis
reputable for so famous a tree. Im
agine a tall thin stem towering up over a
hundred feet, with a great ragged head
of green and withered leaves. The im
pression is not favorable, a common
cocoanut tree is handsomer. These, how
ever, are the male treas; the females are
rarely over sixty or seventy feet, and not
being so high, are less exposed to the
winds. When about twenty or twenty
five years old, before the stems begin to
rise, it is certainly one of the loveliest
productions of the vegetable world, and
here it is seen in all its beauty."
The leaves of the Coco de Mer are
winged and palmated, and when the
stem is just rising above the ground, in
favorable situations, they attain a length
of fifteen feet exclusive of the petiole,
which is of an equal length and twelve
feet wide, but both diminish in size as
the trunk increases in height. This is a
necessity, as the tall thin stem could not
support a head of such large leaves and
the heavy fruit which the tree bears.
Travelers often give the natives small
sums of money, for which they will climb
the trees and swing upon the great leaves
—a feat attended with much danger, con
sidering the great height of the leaves !
from the ground.
Before the leaves unfold they are I
covered with ;t thick cottony substance, |
which is used for mattresses. When !
about thirty-live years old the tree be- ;
gins to blossom. After three years from |
fecundation, the fruit has attained its !
full size. It can be eut with a knife
in this stage. but gradually be- |
comes hard and black, but it is seven or
eight yeais from time of fecundation be- j
fore it is ready to fall. The double nut, !
with the husk around it and when fully
developed, is about the size of a bushel
basket. The meat of the nut is agree- ;
able eating, and tastes lilu' the cream of
charlotte russe. The shiTl of the nut is j
used by the natives for scoop buckets,
and is put to a variety of other uses.
These immense nuts used to be found
floating in the Indian Ocean, and gave '
rise to any number of fabulous stories in j
regard to their origin. It was claimed
by many that they grew in the sea, but
this claim, of course, was easily refuted;
but, nevertheless, this peculiarity is kept
in remembrance by the name which the
tree bears, Coco de Mer, or cocoanut. of
the sea.
When the nut falls to the ground, the
first act in the future tree's life is perhaps
as wonderful as anything in its future his
tory. It takes nine months after plant
ing before the germ is ready to start,
when it shoots out from the nut and
creeps along the ground, drawing nutri- I
ment from the ground as it goes. When I
a distance of some twenty feet has been !
covered, it begins to shoot upward and '
to put forth leaves, each leaf requiring a j
year's elaboration in sun and air before
the next appears. If the nut does not j
fall germ downward and meet the ground j
so as to draw substance from it, after an |
ineffectual struggle for some few feet on '
the surface all vitality is exhausted, and j
the vegetable baby dies from the heat of !
the sun and the lack of moisture. An- j
other remarkable faet regarding the Coco i
de Mer is that it rests in a perforated
bowl which in form resembles a colander.
A great number of rootlets radiate from
he trunk and run through holes in the i
bowl and then extend into tho earth, 1
sometimes for thirty feet. When violent
winds blow, as they frequently do in this
region, the tree, being tall and slender,
with a great bunch of heavy leaves and
nuts forming a great bouquet on its top,
bends over until it seems as if it must
fall, but rights itself again, its long roots
seeming to act like elastics, which draw
it back into position again.
The numerous usesitovwhichtthetleaveg
of the Coco ele Mer can be adapted 'has
led to the wholesale destruction of ti;ees.
The Mahometans use them to weave into
praying mats, and they regard th jm as
having a special sanctity. These leaves
are very beautiful in their'nnfurledlntate,
their edges being of - a delicate green
and the lamina; of a - clear pale straw
color. Beautiful fans, artificial flowers,
hats, ladies' work-baskets, and other
articles are theou
The expanded leaves are- also used foi
thatch, and when folded together and
pinned with little skowers of bamboo
will hold nearly a>bushel of fruit. The
petiole is used for palings and often. foi
rafters, being strong and durable. The
trunks are split and used for palisades
and for boards for thoendiof houses, and
pieces are hollowed out and used, for
gutters.— Scientific American.

Nut-Bearinn Trees.
The idea advanced by a prominent
horticulturist—never to plant any tree
except it produce some nut. or fruit valua
ble for the sustenance of man or beast—
is eminently practical and worthy of
commendation. Wu know of a fruit
grower who saves his grapes and straw
berries from the depredations of birds by
planting rows of ordinary black mulberry
contigious to his stravberry patch and
figs around his vineyard.
It is a good time now to look about and
select trees from which you desire to
propagate, and make a memorandum of
their location, so that when the time for
gathering comes they will not be forgot
ten.
Nuts may be preserved for spring
planting by laying tlwm on an elevated
piece of ground, covering lightly with
earth, and securing them from depredat
i urs by placing plank on the top of the
; bed. They should not be bedded too
I deeply or in any place where water wiil
I stand.— New Orleans Time*-Dat iocrut.

A French Army Punishment.
Much has been saiel of the hardship
endured by the private soldier at oui
military posts, and of the severity witl:
which little breaches of army regulations
are punisheel. Uncle Sam's boys in blue,
however, seem to be well ofl in this re
spoct when compared to the soleliery ol
France. Among the troops of that
country discipline is maintained with t
severity that certainly seems to verge upon
cruelty, as may be judged from what fol
lows :
When a French soldier has been court
martialed and founel guilty of an offense,
he is sent to a military prison, where he
lives on bread anel water anel has a heavy
task set him every elay. If lie is rebel
lious, or refuses to elo his work, the au
thorities have an ingenious plan for in
suring that ho shall perform a certair
amount of hard labor.
He is marched into a cell into which
there is a stream of water flowing, and
furnished with a pump which affords the
only means of keeping the water down.
Unless he sets to work to ply the pump,
the water rises higher anel higher until lie
must either goto work or be drowned?
In this way he has to spend the numbet
of elays for which he is sentenced, wet
through, and pumping for his life. If h«
pauses to rest his arms, the pitiless watei
at once begins to gain upon liiin, and he
has to redouble his efforts to* keep it be
low the level of his chin. So many as
ninety days of this terrible punishment
may be inflicted on an obstinate prisoner.
