man said when he kissed the cow. The
animal seemed much pleased, and kept
continually turning its head toward the
interviewer until he allowed it for a mo-
ment to nestle its head on his sleeve. This
splendid serpent coiled all round Mrs. NJ,
while she moved about the room, and
when she stood up to pour out coffee. He
seemed to adjust his weight so nicely, and
every coil with its beautiful markings was
relieved by the lady's black velvet dress.
About year or so ago, Mr.. and Mrs. NJ,
were away for six weeks, and left the boa
in charge of a keeper at the Zoo. The
reptile moped, slept, and refused to be

tress appeared. he sprang upon them with
delight. The children are devoted to their

they were ever frightened at it,

ARROR DAY IN NEBRASKA.

It is q fact that tree planting on large
scale is needed on the Nebraska prairie,
and the people of the State are fully aware
of the importance Of the subject. On the
bluffs, and on the banks of rivers and
streams, there is abundance of wood, and
q large variety of native trees; but there
is not sufficient for the country. The
manner in which lumber is being cut,
without the forests being replaced in the
east, also points to the time when, if trees
are planted, the lumber crop of the prairie
States will be a matter of much moment
to the country at large.
In Nebraska. timber grows with aston
ishing rapidity; and, if the farmers of the
country are equal to their opportunities,
not many years will elapse before the tree
less prairie is adorned with waving woods,
the lumber Of which will add largely to
the revenue of the owners of the SOIL
Trees are now being planted in Nebras-
ka by the millions. The Hon. j. Sterling
Morton, of Nebraska City, Otoe county,
has been one Of the pioneers in the tree
planting movement. He originated the
idea Of setting apart one day in each
spring TO the special work of tree plant
ing. The first "arbor.day" was in 1871,
Auu Ou tuht tWO AAIiilOu ticCo "OiO
planted. In 1872 and 1873, "arbor-day"
was dropped, but it was recommended to
the farmers to choose for themselves a
day In April, and set it apart for tree
planting. This year, however, the State
Board Of Agriculture determined to go
back to the original plan. 1t was resolved
that "arbor-day" should be the second
Wednesday in April; and the State Leg
islature was to be asked TO make the day
legal holiday. Each owner of land was
recommended to plant at least one tree;
and the State Board will award premium
to the person who plants the largest mum,
Der. 1t is now the custom of the Board
to give o premium to the land owner who
has planted the most trees on any given
day in April; and, at recent meeting of
the Board, the prize was awarded, to a
farmer who set out q 800 trees on the
28th Of April 1874.
