Low Spirits.

a low-spirited turtle which came creep
ing near me the other day gave such
melancholy puff of sigh that couldn't
help asking him what was the matter.
Matter?" he gulped. Matter enough,
can tell you. l heard school-boy say,
this very morning, that this earth is over
$4,000 miles in circumference. That
means around, doesn't it?'
Certainly" said [.
"Well, then, how do you suppose l feel
How, in the name of all the inches, am I
ever to accomplish it? Why, life is not
long enough for the purpose! l can't do
itp'
"DO what, my friend ?"
"Why, go around the earth, of course.'
Well, [ tried and tried to persuade that
turtle that there wasn't the least sense in
his trying to do such a thing; that no.
body wanted him to, and nobody would
care snap if he didn't; but [ might as
well have talked to The wind. Around
the world he must, could, should and
would go. So said at last, by way of
consolation:
"Well, my friend, it might be worse.
Think of the planet Jupiter, one of those
worlds that twinkle up in the sky. [
heard school-boy say that Jupiter was
fourteen hundred times larger than the
earth! Think of that You ought to be
thankful that your lot is cast here instead
of there"
At these sensible words, what did that
ridiculous turtle do but roll his eyes and
gasp harder than ever.
"Alas!'' said he, " / didn't put myself
here and how do [ know but as soon as
[ get around this globe l shall find my
self suddenly placed on that other one;
and | never, never would travel around
that, | am sure. Fourteen hundred times
bigger-fourteen hun-dred-times- o

Out of all patience, l shouted out, as
he hitched himself along, "Get out of
your shell then, and scamper, you absurd
thing! Get out Of your shell and scam
per, or you'll rever finish your journeyp'
But, children, if you meet that poor,
misguided turtle don't turn him around
1t will put him back, you know. 1t is
notion common to all the turtles that they
must travel around the world, and, | sup
pose, that's why if you pick one up and
set him down with his head in an oppo-
site direction from the one in which he
was going he'll turn right around again.

And : Goo-goO-goo! ~ is all of his song
In his nice little cradle-bed he lies
Staring ABOUT with great. bright eyes:
BABY dear! what are you singing aboutfi'
But ." Goo-goo-goo!' is all make oul,
BE shakes his fists, and kicks his feet.
Because he Is waiting for something 10 eat:
And then speaks mp, very loud and ,rrong
And his " Goo-gOo'' means - can't wait long,
catch up the darling and throw him high.
And ne reaches his hands 10 touch the Sky:
But all that he says, TO show his delight.
Is " Goo-goo-gooH' with his baby might.
Dear little pitkinl what is your name?,
But all the answer l get is the same
:" Oh what name for q boy like youl''
And ne glggIes and shouts his sweet Goo-goo -
He crows : Goo-goor before it is light,
And sings "Goo-gool'' in the dead Of night;
1t is " Goo-goo-goo! y the whole day long,
And think " Goo-go." is beautiful song.
The little brides say, Cheep! cbeepI,
. Ba! Bal Bar says the baby-sheep:
But the sweetest song, l think-don't you?-
Is our little darling's "Goo-goo-goor'
Oh, how precious is little Goo-gool
And OH how we love him, little Goo-eooI
/ pray that angels will guard bim-don't Won?

Forest Trees from Seed.

TREE planting has become in some
parts of the country a subject of great i'm
pOrtanCe. Trees for timber, fuel, shade
and shelter are needed in all prairie coun-
tries, and while we appreciate the great
necessity for tree planting, and would
urge everyone, East or West, to consider
whether timber is not the best crop he
can put upon parts Of his land, we have
not had so much to say about raising
trees from seed as perhaps our friends
think they have right to expect We
would not lead our readers into expert
ments that if not expensive are likely to
be fruitless How many persons opening
up new farm on the prairie can find
time to take proper care of a vegetable or
a flower garden? Yet the raising of trees
from seed demands as much or more care
than do vegetables or flowers, and our
hardy white pine and other evergreens
require in their early years much greater
attention than delicate flower Pre-
missing that we advise no one to under
take to grow trees from seed unless he is
quite able to give them as much care as
| the same number of lettuces or cabbages,
we give few condensed notes which will
answer many inquiries.
Evergreens we cannot advise the ordi-
udIN 11IUl6I " uUucIIdh0 " raise from
seed; they require so much care in shad-
ing and otherwise, and small plants are
| sold by those who make a business of
| growing them at such low rates, that we
are sure that ninety-nine in one hundred
will find it much more satisfactory in the
| end to purchase. We therefore confine
our remarks to deciduous trees.
| Tree Seeds that Must Be SOwn as Soon
as Ripe.-Soft or red and silver maple,
elm, and red birch. If kept exposed even
for a few days after they are gathered
! their vitality will be DESTROYED. These
seeds are not generally kept by seedsmen,
| though some take orders in advance to be
filled when the seeds ripen. Those who
! wish to SOW seeds of these should arrange
beforehand with some friend to gather
them, or dealer to supply them, and be
prepared to SOW the day they are received.
| The plants come up at once, and make
nice young trees by fall.
Tree Seeds To Be Sown in Place-that
IS, the seed to be sOwn where the tree
is to stand-include the different hick.
| cries, the butternut, and black walnut
The seeds are collected in fall, made into
heaps, and covered with sods, over which
are thrown several inches of earth. In
| the spring the nuts are sown in place
putting in two or three near together, and
II all start remove all but one.
Trees that Must Be Transplanted when
Small...The chestnut, beech, and oaks OF
all kinds are to be sown in seed bed and
transplanted the first or second autumn
The nuts are to be kept during winter
mixed with at least an equal bulk of sand
in cool place where they will not gel
too dry.

A Patent Piano Player.

The latest invention calculated to do
away with human skill is a patent piano
player, by which an aspirant for musical
distinction can perform the most difficult
pieces without the preliminary torture
known as practicing, or those terrors to
the infant mind called scales. This won
derfuI machine owes its birth to Paris. It
occupies a position in front of the key
board of the piano, and extends from
above the keyboard to the Fl ,or. Over
the keys of the piano are keys correspond
ing to the keys beneath them. These are
the fingers Of the machine, and they have
this advantage over the human hand, that
they have finger for every note. The
top of the machine is about one foot in
width. 1t has in the center two rollers
which are moved by crank. These carry
the music through, and as it passes the
piano plays it. The music is on paper
and the notes are made by cutting holes
in squares. As these notes pass a certain
point they allow a hammer to pass
through, and the stroke of that hammer
is communicated to its own KEY on the
piano. Each key has its hammer 1t
only requires that these holes be cut at
proper intervals to strike any number of
keys in any given series. The machine
can be adapted to any instrument with
keys.
