SOME FAMOUS OLD TREES.
A T/Irft of the Big Tree* PoOKisi tn Various
IhOMs of England*-Noted Specimen*.
j&den hall, the residpaceof the late Sir
Richard Musgrove, is famed for eeveral
■memorable trees. Tlie finest are two re-
'Tuavkable specimens of wdars of Lebanon,
‘Supposed to be 270 years'old. Tlie trees
are planted as a pair and haw a spread
of 105 feet diameter, with great bush?
heads, and are dull quite healthy azki
sound.
Brougham hall, the residence of Lord
Brougham and Yatix, is notable for a
famous old avenue of oaks and walnut.
Originally it was formed -of two rows of
‘oaks and one«of walnut. Only two wal
nut trees now remain, but the mks are
still nearly intact and sound, healthy
trees. This avenue was planted as an ap
proach to tlie fine old castle, and must
" date from an early period, as they are all
shown in full growth on some very old
plans of “the castle grounds. One oak
girths sixteen feet, with at least twenty
feet erf a straight bile, and aH are about
sixty feet high.
Dalemain, the residence of Squire
Hasell, has aveuae oaks which form one
of the sights of Cumbcrkuid. They are
planted in two'distinct avenues, the first
as you approach the hall from Penrith
and the second by tlie private road from
Dacie-hall and church. On either road
you may drive through an avenue <of
oaks, each awnue aboutn mile long,
■Grey stoke '•castle, the residence of II. ‘C.
Howard, Esq., is surrounded by fine
plantations, which were formed in 17445
by the date duke of Norfolk. Owing to
•their' high elevation these have mot at
tained remarkable dissensions, but. they
are decidedly remarkable for the great
•improvement they hav-e made in the land-
j scape of <the district and for their forest
value. .A remarkable specimen of the
• silver-fir (allies pectivsata) standsciear the
castle, which is ninety-seven feet high
and measures fifteemand a half feet girth.
It lias a fine tapering habit, a»d -is still a
sound, healthy tree.
Lowther castle, the residence of the
historic family of Lowther, is .famed for
its avboricultural gains of antiquity. The
oaks can safely be registered as:one of the
“county lions,” particularly those which
are dotted over Unit portion .of the park
called the Elysian field, all .being noble
specimens and several supposed to he
1,000 3'ears old. They show their an
tiquity by having'hollow trunks, hut still
show good heads wf foliage.
The common ash is represented at Low-
ither by two vonecrihle trees, mow hi’ rea
son of their age hoary with antiquity.
They are very appropriatelyvcalled Adam
and Eve. They .are supposed to he about
800 3'ears old. Their girth,is twenty-two
feet four inches and twenty-tone feet seven
inches respectively.
Edmond Castle, the residence of Regi
nald Graham, Esq., has many noble trees,
prominent being the Lebanon cedars
planted by the la.se F. H. vGraliam, Esq.,
: Stone house, Hay ton, the residence of
Gen. Sir John Ross, has some interesting
trees. One is -a fine specimen of the
evergreen oak, .the finest in the country.
Bray ton hall, tlie residence, of Sir Wilfrid
Lawson, possesses some fine trees. Three
remarkably formed larch trees grow on
. the lawn, and are supposed to have been
of the original .trees introduced into this
. county. All are about .fifty feet high,
with fine sound holes andkeautiful rough
ribbed hark. There also (is a fern leaved
beech about sixty-three feet, high; girth
nine feet two inches, and .192 circumfer
ence of spread in splendid foliage. It. is
of a fine bushy pyramidal form. This is
the largest and best specimen in tlie
• country.
Corby castle, the residence of P. J. C.
Howard, Esq., is famous Jor its romantic
.position and the Ixiautiful sylvan views
beside the banks of the Eden. The
plantations were formed by Thomas
Howard, Esq., almit 1720. and he formed
.them principally of Scotch pine and
; larch. These have .attained maturity,
; and the greater portion liave lieen cut.
.The old oak, elm, and sycamore that re
main are evidently of a much older date.
Naworth castle, the residence of the
Earl of Carlisle, was famed in history as
vthe home of the border *shief * ‘Belted
Will.” who flourished about the year
1560. A fine old specimen <of the com
mon yew, sound and healthy, still re
mains close to the castle, which is men
tioned in the records of the period of 1560
as.a fully develojied tree, and according
to vwhich it is safe to presume that this
tree, is at least 500 years .old That the
the; tree, after 6p many centuries of
• growth, should still be in the greatest
health and vigor is certainly remarkable.

A Climatic Peculiarity,
A corresiiondent of an eastern paper
points out the fact that at Lucerne, in
the southern part of this state, a high
range of thermometer—he puts it at 116
—can be endured even by the workers in
the field without a great deal of inconven
ience. He attributes the fact to the move
ment of the coast winds, and the cool
nights which tend so much to recupera
tion. This condition of the atmosphere is
not peculiar to Lucerne and southern Cali
fornia. It is common also to central and
a part of upper California. It is a well
established fact that in this state 90 degs.
of heat does trot cause a great deal of
personal discomfort. It can be endured
much more *>asily than 76 degs. at the
east. Tlie higher range with us is not j
attended with wilted collars, nor crushed
wristbands, except in the case of violent
exertion. The reason is not exclusively
the prevalence of coast winds, but the
dryness of the atmosphere. The heat
absorbed Ly the system at once radiates
in all directions. At the east, in conse
quence of the greater moisture of tlie
atmosphere, the heat is retained. Cali
fornians have been known to flee precipi
tately from New York with a ther-
mometrical range of from 76 to 80 degs,,
though 10 degs. more would not render
them uncomfortable in the southern
•country, or the Sacramento or San
Joaquin valleys. The radiation outward
of the heat is also supjxised to account
for the absence of sunstroke, and of rabies
among dogs.—San Francisco Bulletin.

Wise Mercantile Maxims.
A thoroughly honest clerk can always
command a better salary than one of
equivocal habits.
He who has traded out bis neighbor’s
good opinion is pretty sure to die a poor
man, however lfigli the price for which
he sold it.
When business is attended with mi
nuteness of detail, strict punctuality, it
runs evenly, without jar or friction, and
insures success.
It is statistical truth tliafcno single cause
leads to more disasters than the use of
liquors, not necessarily through drunken
ness. hut the enfeehlingof the judgment.
In dress, be neat and unobtrusive. Tlie
perfection of dress is ;te be so perfect!}' in
keeping with your occupation that the
attention of an observer is not directed to
it at all.
Vainly shall a man hope to live and
thrive by Lining and selling after his
neighbors and customers have learned by
sad experience that .his word is not reli
able. that liis representations of tlie cost
or quality of his wares are not to he
trusted.
Fuming and fretting in and aromid a
store, finding fault with clerks and em
ployes, denotes a lack of order and busi
ness tact, and exposes tlie merchant to
ridicule and unpleasant comments from
those fix an whom he should have respect
ami confidence.—New York Mail and
Express.
Nellie Grant's Xittlo Daughter.
Nellie Grant’s daughter, little Vivian
Sartoris, is a beautiful child. Playing oil
the beach at Long .Branch with her maid
the other day, she was a picture of at
tractive childhood, delicate, quick. and
intelligently American, rather than ro
bustly English. She is not in the least
like her father, but inherits her mother’s
eyes, brunette complexion and shapely
hands, with a hint of Gen. Grant aliout
the forehead and rather prominent e;u - s.
Mrs. Sartoris ch esses her with great taste,
and the -child is .an unaffected, happy
creature. A lady with two children a
little younger than Vivian, chubby creat
ures both, passed near- the child and said
something to her little people which evi
dently interested them very much. The
tots looked at each other a minute, then
ran up to Gen. Grant's granddaughter
and emptied the treasured stones and
shells they had picked up in their walk
into a dainty straw basket that she car
ried. They trotted away again without
saying a word.—New York Mail and
i Express.
lire Early Americans.
The early Americans were representa
tives of the stone age inmost cases, al
though a few possessed the knowledge of
metals. They were particularly clever
stone workers, .and the samples of tlieir
workmanship .show them well versed in
the arts of the potter. In clay molding
they were also skillful. T,*ie textile arts
were practiced, such as cotton and wool
spinning and weaving. Cotton was ex
tensively raised an Mexico, and Yucatan,
and two species of goats were acclima
tized to Peru for the sake Of their wool.

,JV.vctclied ami Miserable Somes.
It*is a constant subject of inquiry why
therefore so mail}- deserted wives in our
•city: why so many men, when trouble
•overtakes them, run away from their
homes, leaving the burden of .toil and
sorrow.'to fall upon the wife and mother;
wiryjtiis that so many men get drunk,
neglect their wives, neglect their-children,
making (their homes wretched and .miser
able when those homes should be.*? they
are intended to be, spots of earth!}* ^ra-
dise? The:answer will be found on the
disposition -to separate families, young
children being sent to the west, a sick
child or a sick father to the hospital, all
resulting from the overcrowded dwell
ings of the masses and in the street influ
ences so destructive to the tender associa
tions of the home. Persons so reared are
ill fitted to assume the responsibilities of
married life, and when such duties come
to them know little of what is required
of them. A poor home is better than no
home, and poor nursing at home is more
to be desired for the individual and the
community than the .most skillful nursing
in tlie hospital.—Physician in New York
Tribune.
Height of the Eskimos.
Mr. W. A. Ashe, of Quebec, reports
that the Eskimos living near- Hudson
Straight have a mean height for the men
of 5 feet 3.9 inches, and for the women,
about 5 feet. Their body temperature
averaged 100.2 degs. for winter and 98.4
deers, for summer, that of the observing
Baity being 9S.1 degs. and 97.7 degs. re

Sensibility «t Thermometers.
The sensibility of thermometers varies
greatly. If the capacity of the reservoir
is large, compared with the bore of the
tube, a Bligiit change of tempes ature will
materially affect the height of the mer
curial column. If email, and <ihe glass
bulb is thin, the mercury contained in it
will be more rapidly affected than if a
large amount were to be acted upon. A
cylindrical reservoir is better Jlian a
spherical one, because it exposes;* larger
