Amber.

In the year 1870, there was collected
on the shores ofthe Baltic Sea 400 cwt.
of amber, valued at 100000. This is the
most prolific amber-field on the globe.
The mineral is washed up by the sea or,
is obtained by dredging. 1t is found
elsewhere associated with coal, and oc-
casionally individual deposits. 1t is
rare in Britain, but is obtained in small
quantities on the coast of Sicily and the
Adriatic, and in different parts of Eu-
rope, in Liberia, Greenland, etc. Pieces
have sometimes. been found weighing
II to I3 h., but not often.
Amber is a vegetable resin, supposed
to be derived from an extinct confer
GUS tree. In the state in which it Is
now found, it is regarded as mineral.
1t occurs in irregular Jumps, has con-
choid&l fracture, is slightly brittle emits
an Agreeable odor when rubbed, melts
at $50 degrees, and burns with bright
flame and pleasant fragrance. Amber
used to have high reputation as
medicine, and an anti-spasmotic yola-
tile oil may be distilled from it. Great
quantities OF it are consumed IN the
Mohamedan worship at Mecca. The
ancients set an immense value upon it.
According to an archaic fable, amber
Is the tears Of the sisters of Ph@thon
who, after his death, were changed into
poplars. 1t sometimes incloses insects
and leaves, and is then estimated at a
largely-increased value.

Arbor Day in Nebraska.

1t is fact that tree planting on a
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 abun-
dance of wood, and large variety of
native trees; but there is not sufficient
for the country. The manner in which
lumber is being cut, without the forest
being replaced in the east, also points
to the time when, if trees are planted,
the lumber crop of the prairie States
will be matter of much moment to the
cohntry at large.
In Nebraska timber grows with aston
ishing rapidly; and, if the farmers
of the country are equal to their oppor-
tunities, not many years will elapse
before treless prairie is adorned with
waving woods, the lumber of which
will add largely to the revenue of the
soil.
Trees are now being planted in Ne
braska by the million. The Hon. j.
Sterling Monton, Of Nebraska City Otoe
county, has been one of the pioneers in
the tree planting movement. He orig
mated the idea of setting apart one day
in each Spring to the special work of
tree planting. The first "arbor day"
was in 1871, and on that day two mil
lion trees was planted. In 1872 and
1878 "arbor day" was dropped, but it
was recommended to the farmers to
choose day in April, and set it apart
for tree planting. This year, however,
the State Board of Agriculture has de-
termined to 60 back to the original
plan. 1t has been resolved that''arbor-
day" shall be the second Wednesday
in April; and the State Legislature is
to be asked to make the day legal hol-
iday. Each owner of land is recon-
mended to plant at least one tree; and
the State Board will award premium
to the person who plants the largest
number. 1t is now the custom of the
Board to give 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 20 Farmer who set out
1880 on the 2sth of April, 1873.

How to Protect Fruit from
Birds.

correspondent of the London Field
says that his method has proven entire
ly efficacious: "And what, you will
ask, is my talisman? Simply ball OF
gray, white or brown linen thread. !
take a ball of this in my hand, fasten
the end of 1t to one of the twigs of the
gooseberry or currant bush, and then
cross the thread backwards, from twig
to twig in perhaps dozen different di-
rections, fasten of, and the thing is
done; and it will last two years-the
thread on the trees, mean. 1t is not
necessary that the thread should be

fine and dark-a thing to be felt, not
seen. have watched the birds after
performing the operation; they come
boldly to settle on the trees, and they
strike these, to them invisible snares,
for such, no doubt, they seem to be /;
they fly off in terrible hurry, and set
tie on the walls and trees around about
longing and getting hungry, until they
disappear and you see them no more.
As regards peas and other seeds,
which 1 always sow in drills, 1 simply
stretch thread, sometimes two, along
each drill, at about two inches from the
ground, supporting it at that height by
little forked sticks. If you put it much
higher than this, the birds do not seem
to care for tit does not touch them;
this is the grand secret, something they
do not well see, nor know what it means.
I have seen people put thick white
string, with feathers tied to it, and per-
haps two feet from the ground. The
birds soon understand these, and care
little for them; in short, know to my
cost it sometimes acts as lure, as a
notice to the birds that there is some-
thing to be had worth looking after. 1
will answer fer it, any one adopting
the plan recommend will never have
cause to complain of the birds, however
numerous they may be-"

A Mothers Tact.

he had considered a marvel of beauty.
1t was real disappointment and grief

1t was little thing, the mothers an

with his play; while the mother sewed
quietly, with no jar of nerves, and
auntie's call lost none of its pleasant
ness.
"rm tired of cutting pies, mamma"
said Josie after awhile.
"Well, get your horse-wagon, and
play those bits of paper are wood, and
you are going to bring me load. Draw
it over to the corner by the fire, and
put them into the kindling box; play

Pleased and proud, the little teamster
drew load after load, till the papers were
all picked up, without ever thinking he
was doing anything but play.

A Lawyers Advice.

An Irishman by the name of Tom
Murphy, once borrowed sum OF mo-
ney from one of his neighbors, which
he promised to pay in a certain time,
But month after month passed by, and
no signs Of the agreement being kept,
his creditor at last warned him that if
he did not pay it on a certain day he
should sue him for it and recover by
law. This rather frightened Tom, and
not being able to raise the money, went
to lawyer to get advice on the matter.
After hearing Toms story through to
the end he asked him:
"Has your neighbor any writing to
show that you owe him this fifty dol
lars?"
"Devil word," replied Toni, quick
ly.
"Well then, if you have not the mo-
ney you can take your time; at all
event he cannot collect it by law"
''Thank yer honor, much obliged
said Tom, rising and going towards the
door.
"Hold on, my FRIEND" said the law
yer.
"Fat for?" asked Tom, in astonish-
ment.
"You owe me two dollars"
"Fat for!'
"Why, for my advice to be sure. Do
you suppose l live by charging
nothing"
Tom scratched his head for moment,
in evident perplexity, for he had no
money. At last bright idea seemed
to strike him.
sam have yees any papers to show
that ows yees two dollars P" he asked
with twinkle in his eye.
"Why of course not; but what does
that signify? ?"
"Thin I'll jest be after taken yer
own advice an pay neither you nor me
saying which he left the
office and its occupant to mediate on a
lawyer taking his swn advice and doc
tor taking his own medicine.

A Strange Sight at Sea.

In the year 1855, the captain of a
Greenland whaling vessel, found him
self at night, surrounded by icebergs
and "lay to" until morning expecting
every moment to be ground to pieces,
In the morning he looked about and
saw ship near by. He hailed it, but
received no answer. Getting into a
boat with some of his crew, he pushed
out for the mysterious craft. Coming
alongside the vessel, he saw through
the port-hole man at table, as though
keeping log-book, frozen to death.
The last date in the log-book was 1852
showing that the vessel had been drift
ing thirteen years among the ice. The
sailors were found frozen among the
hammocks, and others in the cabin.
For thirteen years this ship had been
carrying its burden of corpses-a drift.

An Incident of the War.

While Company D, of the 2sth Penn
sylvania Volunteers, was doing picket
duty, John Moy was placed as sentinel
with orders to examine all "passcs. 4"
During the day horseman came that
way, and being ordered to halt, handed
his pass to Moy, who leisurely scanned
it, gave it back, and permitted the man
to pass. Moy's deliberations had been
noticed by Lieutenant p, who called
out:
"was that a proper pass?"
"Yis, sur"
"What was OIL it Johny"
"Divil bit do 1 know, sur, but with
all the readin' and writin' there were
on that pass, it was enough to pass 8
Major General to the very divil."
