How Soils and Forests Change.

1t is Il matter of history that Charlie
magnc hunted in the forest of Gerard
men, then consisting of oak and beech,
though now the same forest contains only
pines of various species. On the Rhine,
between Landau and kaiserslautt oak
forests of several centuries old are grad
ually giving way to the beech, while
others of oak and beech are yielding their
ground to pine. In the Palatinatc the
Scotch fir (pin"s sylrcst,is) is also succeed
ing the oak. In the Sura and in the
Tyrol the beech and the pine are seen to
succeed each other, and the same alter
nations arc witnessed in many other dis
tricts In all these cases there is no
exhaustion of soil as in the growth of old
field pines in Virginia, North Carolina
and other southern states after oak. The
rotation of natural plants without the
interference of man is not explained by
assuming the consumption Of aIkalies by
beech, oak and maple and their rcsti-
tuition by pines, where all the leaves,
limbs, bodies and roots of trees rot where
they grow. This operation should make
the soil better for deciduous trees the
longer they draw mineral food from
moving water, and gaseous food from
moving atmosphere. Obviously there is
All element of local change of species
which is not understood.

Napoleon III.

In the Memoirs Of OdiIon Barrot"
occurs this sketch of the character OF Ma:
polcon ILL.,:
=" One Of the principal traits of the
character of this predcstined parsonage
who was tatcd to reconstruct the empire
was the knowledge how to yield; that
was the quality which chiefly dis
tnguishcd him from the first Napoleon,
and therein alone lay all his strength.
TO possess will rs infexible as fate
itself, to dread no initiative however bold
it might be, but at the same time to
know how to halt, to adjourn, to draw
back without any embarrassment either
OF personal vanity or of pride, these arc
contradictory qualities which, when they
are united in one person, make of that
person an exceptional being. These
qualities were marvclously appropriate
to the situation of'Louis Napoleon, who,
having neither the genius of the first
Napoleon nor his victorious prestige,
was forced to obtain by dint of cunning
and patience that which the other had
been able to bear away in lofty combat"
During the disorders of the oath of
February Prince Jerome Bonapartc, the
father Of the present prince, came to
Madame Barrol and demanded the loan
OF her carriage, in which to show himself
to the people, declaring that only
Bonapartc could calm the tumult and
disarm the insurrection. His PROPOSE
tion was rejected as absurd, "and yet"

Try This Plan.


The ladies ordinarily have too little
to say in Grange discussions, particu-
larly when financial questions, or ques-
tons on political economy are dis
cusseG. There should be portion of
each evening set apart for their special
benefit, during which such topics as
they are most interested in, should be
considered. There should be domestic
economy, home ornamentation. rela-
tons OF parents 10 children, education,
woman's rights, influences, sphere, du-
ties, etc. OF course, all questions pro-
posed should be open to free discussion
and all who desire. ought to have the
privilege of participating, but let the
ladies lead off and conduct the discus
sions Of this portion of the evening.
One Grange we know of pursues this
course with happy resuts-enlisting
every female member into the discus
sions, tina; hour passes off to the inter
est of all present. male and female.
Every farmers wife who belongs has
given her method of making bread,
pies and cakes; her method of washing
making butter, fancy work. and all the
innumerahle little things of this ma
tnre, which 60 to mako life more en-
joyable. As result, each housewife
has the benefit of the experience of
thirty or forty other housewives. ahd
the knowledge thus impaired is of
great benefit. These look like little
matters to discuss or investigate, but
he who neglecis all the little things OF
life, loses most of his advantages-for
life is made up Of little things Ohio

Time for w ork.

The time for real hard labor on the
farm is now about over for the fall and
the time for work in the grange be-
gins. There is always work TO be done
on the farm by the good husbandman.
and so there is never time when we
may not say. do or hear something of
interest and benefit in the grange, but
the summer is the season of incessant
labor on the farm, and such the winter
should be to the grange. a moments
thought convinces us that there never
was time when the grange could be
made more profitable than the coming
fall and winter.
Now for the reasons The farmers
nave never read as much, as class, as
in he last year or two this is the re-
suit of the grange work. Another re-
suit is, grange in any community in
duces thought. Again, the farmers
have for year or two, like many 9th
err classes, but perhaps to a greater ex-
tent, been driven TO the wall. Crops
have been contracted by drouth, bugs,
grasshoppers and other causes; and
stock by disease.
During the last summer the farmers
have worked, planned anfeconomzed
rs they have never done before; they
have labored intelligently and observ-
lngly, and, as rule, the summer crop
has been good, and in some cases, the
winter crop. Many lessons have been
learned since year ago, and some OF
hem sad ones, but generally, and es-
pecially in Missouri, prospects are
brighter now than then.
If farmers do not have many Incl
dents and much intelligent experience
TO relate in he grange this winter.then
we are totally ignorant of the situa-
ton. Let them work for better crops
next year by learning all thew can this
winter, by comparing notes and hear
ing the experience of others in the
grange. Strive to make home attract
i've: use every endeavor to obtain bet
ter laws, or better administration of
the present laws, so as to secure equal
justice to all, and society will be bet
tered a hundred per cent, and the
work inexpensive and very pleasant,
and next spring every member will
start out better prepared for q success
ful summers work than ever before
