The Ma1Va Tree.

Not the least among the agricultural
resources of California is the malva
tree. It grows from the seed, which
can be carelessly thrown into the ground
and in five years will have attained an
average hight of 80 feet. They are not
long-lived trees-seldom surviving over
eight years-but the seeds which fall
keep up perpetual growth, and will
give the best effects sooner than any
other tree now known. In addition to
the effect on the climate, the leaves of
these evergreen trees can sustain cattle
or sheep, all leaving even clover to feed
on the large, juicy leaves. From ex-
periments we have found that COWS will
give more and richer milk when fed on
the foliage. Of this there is a never
ending supply, for cattle only eat the
leaves, and new ones Immediately re-
place the lost, falling where not eaten
It also blooms for nine months in the
year, and bees work upon the flowers
all that time, preferring it to other
plants. At the end of about eight
years, the trees seem to have arrived at
maturity, and have attained an average
diameter of IL inches, when they are
superseded by the younger volunteer
growth. The body of the tree, after
lying on the ground during one rainy
season, will be found to be partially de-
cayed, and nearly all composed of fine,
delicate and strong fiber. From various
experiments, we discover that this fiber
is, with the same appliances, capable of
almost anything for which fax is now
used.

Prop the Falling.

1t is a great blessing to have by nature a strong
constitution, but not more than one-half of the
inha bitants of the civilized world thus prOvi-
ded. Many constitutions are feeble to begin with !;
many others. originally vigorour, are crippled by
over-exertion, dissipation, unhealthy surround
fngs, grief privation, or some other portentous
cause, before the prime of life is attained But is
this an evil without a remedy or palliative? mol
sands of instances might be adduced In which
constitutional decay has been arrested by the con-
tinuous use of Hostetters stomach Bitters as an
avigorsnt. IT is constitutional strength that ena.
bles one man to recover from a disease which
would he mortal to another destitute of this ele-
ment of resistance. Whenever malady of any
kind obtains foothold in any part of the human
body, and becomes chronic fixture there it is
proof positive that the constitution has been mas.
In such case Hostetter's Bitters should be taken
at least three times day. until the natural powers
of the system requited. hen the morbid prin-
ciple which generated and feeds the complaint
will have to succUmb to the influence Of animal
vigor, aided by the toning, regulating, purifying
operation of the Bitters upon the organ or organs

Sipns of Madness in Dogs

The British Medical Journal calls at
tention to the measures recommended
by the Council of Hygiene of Bordeaux
for the better protection of the people
against the dangers of hydrophobia 1t
is well understood that the madness of
dogs has a period which is premonitory
and harmless. IF these periods were
generally known, the dogs could be put
out of the way before they became
dangerous. On this subject the Council
of Hygiene has issued the following in
structions:
"A short time, sometimes two days,
after madness has seized dog, it creates
symptoms in the animal which it is IN
despensable to recognize.
l. There is agitation and restlessness,
and the dog turns himself continually
in his kennel. If he be at liberty, he
goes and comes, and seems to be seeking
something when he remains motionless,
as if waiting; then starts, bites the air
as if he would catch fly, and dashes
himself bowling and barking againt the
wall. The voce of his master dissipates
these Authorizations the dog obeys,
but slowly, with hesitation, as if with
regret.
2. He does not try to bite; he is
gentle, even affectionate, and he eats
and drinks, but gnaws the litter, the
ends of curtains, the padding of cush-
ions, the coverlids of the beds, the car
pets, etc.
3. By the movement of his paws about
the sides of his open mouth, one might
think he was trying to free his throat of
bone.
4. His voice undergoes such change
that it is impossible not to be struck by
IT.
5. The dog begins to fight with other
dogs this is decidedly characteristic
sign, if the dog be generally peaceful. "
The three symptoms last mentioned
indicate an advanced period of the dis
ease, and that the dog may become
dangerous at any moment, if immediate
measures are not taken. 1t is best to
chain himsup at once, or, better still, to
kill him.
The Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal suggests that this advice may
be inserted at least once a year in the
public papers. 1t would also seem
particularly desirable and practicable
that these rules should be printed on
the back of notices and receipts for dog
taxes. These excellent measures ought

Plant Trees.

Every citizen who has no trees about
his residence should see to it, and plant
shade trees about his place. To esti-
mate the value of groves and shelter
belts in this country would be as diff
cult as to estimate good health in dol
lars and cents no man knows how to
appreciate them until having enjoyed
either one or the other, he is deprived
of its blessing. The benefit to be de-
rived from a grove in summer is that of
shade and protection from flies. While
the belt of timber, if properly arranged,
will protect the farm from devastation
of the storms of winter, they will both
furnish protection to man and beast
from the chilling winds, and add fifty
per cent. to the value of the place.

Men and women, and especially young
people, do not know that it takes years to
marry completely two hearts, even of the
most loving and well sorted. But nature

of life Marriage is gradual, a fraction of

golden marriage is a part of love which

is the tassel and silken flower of love; AGE
is the full corn, ripe, and solid in the ear.
Beautiful is the morning of love with its
prophetic crimson, violet, purple and gold,
with its hopes of days - come. Beautiful
also is the evening of lpve, with its glad
