The APPLE TREE. What plant we in
! This spple-tIee?i Sweets for hundred
! flowery springs, to load the MAy.wind's
| RESTLESS wings, when from the orchard
row he pours its fragrance through our
open doors. What plant we in this apple
tree? Fruits that shall swell in sunny
June, and redden in the August noon,
and drop, when gentle airs come by, that
fan the blue September sky; while chill
idreD come, with cries of glee, and seek
them where the fragrant grass betrays
their bed to those that pass at the foot of
the apple-tree.
HALLS Journal of Health thinks this
way: Men may live lC~3 and in health
who never taste meat, but they never can
excel in anything which requires energy.
The nations which eat no meat, as to the
masses, are always inefficient and de-
graded. The hundreds of millions of
Japan and China nave failed in the cen.
.turies of the past in all that makes a ma
ton or an individual grand in conception
or magnificent In accomplishment. They
are to day what they were ages ago, and
they live mainly on rice and other vege-
tables" ....s, -..,t
