A Murderous Tree.
If you can imagine a pine apple, eight
feet high and thick in proportion, resting
upou its' base, and denuded of its leaves,
you will have a good idea of the trunk of
the tree, which,' however, was not the
color of an anana, but was a dark, dingy
brown, and apparently as hard as iron.
From the apex of this fusticated cone
(at least two feet in diameter) eight huge
leaves sheer to the ground) like doors swing
ing back on their hinges. These leaves,
which are joined at the top of the trees at
regular intervals, were about eleven or
twelve feet long, and shaped A ery much like
the leaves of an American agava or eeu
tury plant. They are two feet through in
their thickest part and three feet wide, taper
ing to a sharp point that looked very much
like a cow's horn, very convex on the outer
(but now under) surface and on the under
(now upper) surfaces lightly concave. This
concave surface was thickly set with strong
thorny hooks like those upon the head of a
teazle. These leaves, hanging thus limp
and lifeless, dead green in color, had in ap
pearance the massive strength of oak fiber.
The apex of the cone was a round concave
figure like a smaller plate set within a large
one. This was not a flower but a reccn
taclc, and there exuded into it a clear
treacly liquid honey, sweet, and possessed
of violent intoxicating and soporific proper
tics. From underneath the rim (so to
speak) of the undermost plate, a scries of
long, hairy green tendrils stretched out in
every direction toward the horizon. These
were seven or eight feet long, and tapering
from four inches to half an inch in diame
ter, yet they stretched out stiffly as iron
rods. Above these (from between the up
per and under cup) six white almost trans
parent palpi rearing themselves toward the
sky, twirling and twisting with a marvel
ous incessant motion, yet constantly reach
ing upward. Thiu as reeds and frail as
quills, apparently, were yet five or six feet
tall, and were so constantly and vigorously
in motion, with such a subtle, sinuous, si
lent throbbing against the air, with their
suggestions of serpents flayed, yet dancing
on their tails. My observation on the oc
casion M'crc suddenly interrupted by the na
tives who had been shrieking around the
tree with their shrill voices, and chanting
what Ilendrick told me were propitiatory
hymns to the great tree devil. With still
wilder shrieks and chants they now sur
rounded one of the women, and urged her
with the points of their javilins, until slow
ly, and with despairing face, she climbed
up the stalk of the tree, and stood on the
summit of the cone, the palpi twirling all
around her. "Tisk ! Tisk !M (Pi ink !
drink !) cried the men. Stooping she drank
of the viscid fluid in the cup, rising instant
ly again, with wild frenzy m her face and
convulsive cords in her limbs. Tut she
did not jump down as she seemed to intend
to do. Oh, no ! The atrocious cannibal
tree, that had been so inert and dead, came
to sudden savage life. The slender, deli
cate palpi, with the fury of starved ser
pents, and quivered a moment over her
head, then a.s if instinct with demoniac in
telligence, fastened upon her in sudden coils
round and round her neck and arms, and
while her awful screams and yet more awful
laughter rose wildly to be instantly strang
led down again into a gurgling moan, the
tendrils one after another, like great green
serpents, with brutal energy and infernal
rapidity rose, protracted themselves and
wrapped her about in fuld after fold, even
tightening with cruel swiftness and savage
tenacity of anacondas fastened upon their
prey. It was the barbarity of the Laocoon
without its beauty this strange, horrible
murder. And now the great leaves rose
slowly and stiffly, like the arms of a der
rick, erected themselves in the air, ap
proached one another, and closed about the
dead and hampered victim with the silent
force of a hydraulic press and the ruthless
purpose of a thumb screw. A moment
more, and while I could sec the basis of
these great levers pressing more tightly to
ward each other from their interstices, there
trickled down the stalk of the tree great
streams of the viscid honey like fluid, ming
led horribly with the blood and oozing vis
cera of the victim. At sight of this the
savage hordes around me, yelling uialdy
bounded forward, crowded to the tree,
clasped it, and, with cups, leaves, hands.
and toncrues. each one obtained enough of
the liquid to send him mad and frantic.

A Good Joke on a Doctor.
A few days since a Western city clerk
happening to meet a physician of the place,
the latter mentioned that he had a small
claim against the corporation for attendance
upou a cit' patient. He was told to make
out his bill, send it in, and it would be paid
at the next meeting of the board of Alder
men. The clerk happened to complain du
ring the interview of being a little under
the weather ; the physician took note of
his symptoms, and said that upon reaching
his office he would write him a prescrip
tion that ' would set him to rights, and
which he would send by the boy who
would briug the bill. The afternoon of the
same day a boy called at the clerk's ofiice at
the city hall, and left two papers, mention
ing who sent them. "All right, said the
clerk, glancing at the papers that were
thrown upou his desk. '-Now the chirogra
phy of most physicians is not very , plain,
but that of this particular 31. D. was a cross
betweeu the usual medical style and the
characters used by Chinese astronomers and
laundry men.
When the clerk came to examine the two
papers he was much puzzled to make out
which waa the prescription aud which the
bill. Some zig-zag characters thai, appear
ed upon one of the papers led him to think
it the prescription. He took it to the drug
store and hauded it to the clerk, who turn
ed it in several directions and then said.
"This is from JJr. , is it not ?" Ieing
answered in the aflimative he at once be
came cheerful, and soon handed the clerk a
big powder to be taken at night, and a bot
tle of some dark liquid to be taken in the
morning. For two days our clerk looked
rather pale about the gills, but felt on the
whole the medicine had done hiui consid
erable good.
At the next meeting of the board the
doctor's bill was presented, but about all
tliat could be made out of it was that it
called for 7. It was referred as usual to
the proper committee, to be examined aud
reported upon at the next regular meeting,
when a favorable report was made and 57
was allowed. The next morning the doctor
came to the clerk in high dudgeon, and
said :
"How is it that you cut down my bill ? I
see by the papers that the board only allow
ed me $7."
The clerk said that the bill was allowed
just the same as made out, and to prove
that it was right hauded it to the irate phy
sician. The doctor looked at it for some
moments, aud then exclaimed :
"May I be hanged if you and the board
of aldcrmeu haven't been at work for two
weeks on my prescription, and have at la-st
allowed me 87 on it."
"Yes," cried the now aroused and excit
ed clerk, "and may I be hanged if I didn't
take your infernal bill to the drug store,
and they allowed it there and gave mo a
dose that near plryslced nie to death."
The best joke was that the druggist's
clerk when questioned about making up
the prescription, said : "When I get such
a looking paper from Dr. , 1 always
put up a big powder or calonul and rhu
barb, to be followed by the black draught.
and this is the first time there has been any
fuss about it."
The Yankee's Horse.
A Yankee who was travelling through
Kentucky had a fine horse, and no money.
lie had taught the animal to ho down or
sit on his haunches when the bridle was
pulled pretty hard. Oar traveler saw no
way of replenishing his purse but by selling
his horse, aud this he resolved to do at the
first opportunity. As he was goinir slowly
along, he saw a hunter at some distance
from the road, whom he rode up to and
accosted. In the course ot the conversa
tion, he told the latter that he had an
invaluable horse to sell horse that would
act precisely like a setter when he was in
the vicinity ot game. Casting his eves
around, at the same time deseovering some
fresh rabbit tracks, he gave the bridle a
jerk. The docile quadruped immediately
laid down.
"There are some rabbits here," said the
rider: "1 know by his ears."
The Kcntuckian, curious to test the reput -ed
sagacity of the horse, searched around,
aud sure enough, started three or four rab
bits. He was greatly surprised; but the
Yankee took the affair as a matter of course.
To make a long story short, the wonderful
horsj changed hands on the spot, o0i be
ing the consideration. His new owner
mounted him, and with characteristic hos
pitality, the Yankee agreed to accompany
him home. They soon came to a stream
which they had to cross and which was
rather deep for horsemen. Judge of the
Kentuckian's dismay when, on pulling the
bridle in the middle of the river, his steed
immediately subsided in the running waters
as if he was a hippopotamus.
"IIow is this?" he roared out, nothing
but his head visible.
The Yankee, who was mounted on the
hunter's other horse, was not disconcerted
in the least, but replied, coolly :
"Oh, I forgot to tell you he is as good for
fish as he is for rabbits !"'
The abundance offish and game in South
ern Florida can scarcely lie overstated.
During a late surveying expedition three
Indians in fifteen days killed thirty-seven
deer, and great varieties of the most valu
able fish exist in proportionate abundance.

Stovc3 in Summer.
Not only can we not sec the slightest
use in taking down the stoves, if that be
the way of heating, but we hold that. id
country houses there should never be a day
in the whole 3-ear in which a fire cannot bo
built at a moment's notice. In summer an
open fireplace is preferable, to a stove, for
there will be but a few weeks in the whole
summer in which a little fire i:i the morn
ing will not be needed to ventilate the room
or to dry it, if not to remove the chill.
malarious districts this is of special import-
anc-e ; a few sticks will prevent what much
quinine may cure, and' be vastly cheaper.
So we insist that in the family or living
room of every country house there should
always be a fire laid in every fire-place,
grate or stove, ready to diffuse comfort
when needed, even if it be in July or Au
gust. But in houses heated by stoves there
are several which may come down without
detriment, and those which remain in place'
should be properly cared for, which brings
us at last to taking down the stoves.
If the stoves connects by a short, straight
piece of pipe directly with the chimney,
there will be little trouble in replacing
it next fall ; if, instead of this, there
arc, as is more commonly the case, several
lenths of pipe and nioreor less elbows,"
then too much precaution cannot be
taken. Some hold the theory that a
stove pipe once taken donw can never
be put up as it was before without . calling
in a fitter. Stove pipes make great havoc
with domestic patience, but a proper fore
sight at the taking down will help greatly
to a felicitous putting up. Wherever two5'
ends of pipe, whether sections, or elbows,"
come together, they should be marked,'
whether intentionally separated in taking;
down or not. If a large pipe is taken down
in the fewest possible pieces, some others
will separate, and all be in confusion, hence
the only safety is to number each joint, that
is, whenever the lengths of sections, includ
ing elbows, come together, with two num
bers, 1-1, 2-2, etc. "Do this before disturb
ing the pipe ; chalk will answer, but the
marks must be renewed, if blurred by hand
ling, before the pipe is put away for the
season. Where anthracite coal U burned
a simple thumping of the pipe will remove
the gathered ashes and dust ; a pipe to a
bituminous coal stove will show more de
posit, and will need a more thorough clean'-"
ing, but in those of wood-stoves, the deposit
is often very heavy, and if the pipe is a
loug one, of a highly acid and corrosive na
ture. If this be not removed when the
pipe is taken down now the work of de
struction will go on all summer, aud when"
it is to be put up in the fall it will often be
found completely honeycombed and useless.'
Hence a pipe of this kind should have every
incrustation upon its interior removed by a
thorough thumping and a bunch of twigsV
To arrest the corrosion of what deposit re
mains, the interior may be covered with"
ordinary lime wash or whitewash. Bolli
stove aud pipe should be thoroughly black
ened before they are put away for the sum
mer. The object of blacking a stove is not
solely to improve its looks, but it is to cover
the surface of the. iron with a coating that
will prevent rusting. Aoicrican Ajrlcul

Farmers Not Dealers.
The following decision by Judge Dibble
rendered a few days ago in the Philadel
phia Court of Common Pleas, is a matter,
of considerable interest to the farmers of
the country :
"Charles H. Hunsiekcr, of Xorristown,
Hon. William Darlington, Wayne Mc Vegan
and Thomas II. Speakman, of West Ches
ter, recently appeared i:i the Court of Com
mon Pleas, before Judge Diddle, a.3 counsel
for farmers from Chester, Montgomery anil
adjoining counties, who sell produce in the'
markets of that city. The authorities' had
attempted to levy a tax on the farmers, on
the ground that they were dealers. The
Judge delivered his opinion involving the.
definition of the world "dealer," as applied5
to farmers. Under the act of IS 11 it was
sought to impose the mercantile tax upou
the farmers. He says that never since the"
act was passed has the signification beeif
given to it a.s now claimed by the apprais
ers. For thirty-four years all those whosor
duty it was to enforce it have acquiesced
in considering it as having no application
to farmers. A 'dealer' is one whose busi
ness it i? to buy and sell. He i.s the i:iid!
dle man who stands between the producer;
and consumer ; his profit i.s not deriVctV
from selling the produce of his farm or his
factory, but from his skill in knowing when
to buy and how to sell the products of
others. 'In all enlightened legislation tluv
effort is made to bring the producers ami
consumers together, and probably nothing"
has done more to give a character to our"
markets and to promote the health of our'
people than the efforts we have always made"
to obtain the necessaries of life from those
who produce them. The fact that the far
mer sometimes accommodates his neigh
bors by selling their produce we do not'
think affects this question, even if he should
receive a small commission for so doing.
This may make him an agent, but as he
docs not buy it cannot make him a dealer.-'
