making the rate of letter postage two

to cause tronble to the publishers OF

might be corrected by holding them to q

for publishers to add the postage to the

THE FAczS ABoUr BASKET WILLOW

TIE FACTS ABOUT BASKET WILLOW
We have millions of acres in the
United States better suited TO the
growth of the different species of viii
low than anything else, but the CUES
ton to be considered is whether there is
market where the article produced
VIII command a remunerstive price.
The high cost of labor IN this country
has heretofore. prevented us from rails
ing willow at an expense sufficiently low
to drive the foreign article out of our
markets. Hundreds of men have tried
willow culture with everything in their
favor except the price of the raw ma
terial in the market, but only very
few have succeeded in making the Gull
ture profitable business. If there is
a mandatory near at hand, or if a
man can have his crop made up into
willow-ware" on his own premises.
then he could make . fair profit on the
investment. A few years since we had
no good machines for peeling willow,
but this difficulty is overcome, and there
are several in use which do this work
very rapidly and eheaply. The species
of willow most commonly planted for
the purpose named above is the lSalSr
UjnatrGtis; the cutting of plants can
be obtained of almost any of the nur-
serymen in the Northern States As
the cuttings strike root very readily.
there is no necessity of purchasing
plants. This and other species viii
grow freely in the damp soils of the
Southern States.

Do you wish to do something towards
making your home happy? Do you de-
sire that your brothers and sisters
should be glad to have you with them,
and that you should always be a vel
come companion to your parents or your
children? Do you want to have your
society coveted everywhere, and to feel
the while, that you are doing good as
well as giving pleasure Would you
like to help people to think well, and to
have them save their best thoughts for
you? Would it please you to get all
the good you can out of the people you
know?
IF so, learn to listen.
But first learn what listening is-for
it is not merely the exercise of hearing.
The stupidest of us all can keep ears
open and mouth shut. To listen prop
erly means to make other people talk
properly. That is a social definition, if
it is not Websterian one. The good
listener is a cause of talking In others,
and by proper exercise of this valu-
able and too scarce gift, makes the diff
dent say what they think, and the YER
bose think what they say. For the
greatest takers are careful when they
find they have good a listener. Phey
know that they may not often be so for
tunate, and they talk their best. The
adept in listening may sometimes hear
more pressing than he likes, but if he be
skillful this viii not often happen.
When it is impossible to get anything
interesting or useful out of man, he
need be listened to no longer. Every
one of sense will agree to that But it
is astonishing how many. good things
some very unpromising persons will say
if they be properly and conscientiously
listened to. ''i
To be sure it is very, hard for some
persons to listen. They have a gift for
talking, and they like to exercise it.
But these. are the very persons who
should do great deal. of listening.
They know what a luxury it is to talk.
and they should give their families and
friends chance to learn the art. Be
sides, like farmers, they viii often find
much advantage in a rotation of crops.
A season of listening is often a most ex-
cellent preparative for season of talk.
1t is often supposed that If man has
a good thing to say, he viii say it, but
this is not necessarily the case. Very
often he never says it, because no one
will give him chance. He don't want
to waste his speech on fools, and the
smart folks want him to content himself
with hearing what they have to say.
This happens-not In connection with
very good things perhaps, but with
things that might lead to very good
things day and every hour, in
thousands of families, all over the land
to say nothing of society.
There are those who so seldom have
a chance to speak to interested ears,
that they gradually withdraw them
selves into themselves, where, not gen
orally finding much, they intellectually
pine away.
To be sure, we should not fail to be-
come good takers, if we can; but, do
what we may, we can only make ole
talker of ourselves, whereas, by proper
listening, we may make dozen takers
of other people.-Scrt6ner's
