If wine, drinking can make a people

and is duly praised, for it is of good

in the secret is the fellow who comes
around every week to buy the empty
bottles. He takes them down 10 the
bottling house, where they are filled, and
in due time they are returned with fresh
brands and silver tops. Itseems absurd
that the wine-drinking community
should be ignorant of this, when almost
opposite the Academy of Music there is
a large warehouse devoted to this branch
of trade. Here one may behold vast
quantities of secondhand bottles re-
ceived daily. There is no necessity of

NIT TREES

Many persons advise the planting of
fruit trees by roadsides and in the front
yards of dwellings, on the ground that
they are equally beautiful as the trees
which are planted solely for ornament.
The late A. J. Downing opposed this
suggestion for the following reason
"Among all the flowers of spring, said
he, 'there are few that surpass in deli
oacy, freshness, and beauty, that COM
mon and popular thing, an apple bios.
som; yet no one would plant an apple
tree in his park or pleasure ground; for,
like hard day -laborer, it has q bent and
bowed. down look In its head and
branches that III accords with the grace
full bearing of the elm, or the well
rounded curve of the maple" 7ylton'8
Journal of Horticulture takes issue on
this point. eve may be thought incon-
sistent," SAYS that periodical, "but these
objections do not seem to apply TO the
trees which produce some of our most
valuable nuts; and If we wished to com
bine beauty with utility on our lawns,
We should plant these. What can be
more stately than the column of green
formed BY q well grown tree of the COM
mon shell-bark hickory What more
beautiful than the young trees, with
their smooth, gray bark and grace

well known as unsurpassed in fla

needed 10 show much difference in the
fruit of different trees, and no doubt, by
careful selection of seed, trees may be
produced combining the highest beau y
of the tree with the largest size and great
est excellence of the nut" The pecan,
the English walnut, the butternut, and
the black walnut are recommended as
trees which combine beauty with utility
Ali these trees would grow TO the greatest
perfection In Middle and West Tennessee
The chestnut is also one of the most
beautiful trees, whether its flowers, foil
age, or fruit are considered. Old trees,
growing singly in fields, not unfrequently
possess the grandeur of the oak, and are
mistaken Tor it, The young trees, with
their soft, thrifty bark, are always beauti-
