In (he mountains of Venezuela grows remarkable tree. It is found in rocky places, at heights- ofabnut l-slf mile, it is a si u piil look'ng tree nouch at first sight. It is loflv and slehdor, and bas stilf leaves that grow foot pr more In length. It looks much of the lime ns if it were dead. In those regions there is a wet and dry season, and during many months at a lino not a sliower washes its leaves. It bears very small, iusignificnnt look' ing flowers. What is it good for, this lull , slim trunk, 'with the dull, dead locking brunches ? It is lhe milk tree, the famous "palo devaca,'"-which II urn bolt describes. He first brought it into notice. Ilis an evergreen, lis s-ip is a delicious fluid resembling the finest Jersey milk, only w-eter and richer than cv a that. 'When tbe ne groes are tbintty tbey cut into the side of the trunk as one would bore into a maple for sugar-water, and tbe milk gushes forth in a great stream. It is both f o I and driuk, so rich is it. Af ter a little lime it grows thick and yel low, and a cream rises to the top. It has a fragrant odor.

Marvelous accounts are given of Strat ford's original splendor, its hundred rooms, a main htiiidihgahd four offices, each of the latter containing fifteen rooms, and its stable for btie briiuired horses.
