The committee charged with the duty of
awarding the Yale literary medal this year,
after examining the twelve essays submitted
to them, reported that all were so painfully
bad they couldn't conscientiously make any
award at all. The competition for this
medal is open to all the members of the

Dear Sir You want money to be plenty, the
rate OF interest to be low, and at the same time
you want the money to be good. You can only
have this state of things when Their is confidence
In the stability Of the currency. Capital will not
go where II il uncertain In what currency debts
will be paid next month and next year. II the
legal tender for debts depends on the uncertain
action OF congress, there will be want Of conf
dence. The only constitutional legal tender il
gold and silver Depart from that and confidence
Is gone. All the world now believes that invest
sound financial policy will bring us money from
all the commercial nations on the earth. In good
times prepare for hard times. In good times pay
debts. The legal-tender notes are debts. Let
them be paid by the coin in the treasury and the
coin that is coming 10 from abroad and it will not
contract the circulation Let our ship be headed
In the right direction 1t Is sound policy which
has brought good times. The same policy will
continue good times. Sincerely, K. b. HAYES

The Best Time to Plant frees.

There is nothing perhaps on which most OF
us are more prone to dogmatize than on the
subject OF tree-planting. II we plant in spring
and the tree dies we are very likely to attrib-
ute the loss to the season, and decide never to
plant in spring again. Or, If we plant in fall
and have no success, then we are quite as de-
C1ded against all-plantlng.
There is no doubt but that falLplanting has
risks from which the spring is free. Trees
which have not been transplanted, but have
grown well in the one place for twenty years
have been destroyed by the dry cold winds OF
winter. Not only evergreenS, such as arborvi-
tRe, balsam frs, hemlOck spruce, and even
Norway spruces, but deciduous trees, as cher
ries, tulip-trees, oaks, and many others with
the best established reputation for hardness.
And then small things besides the risks Of those
frosty winds to dry up the little sap in them.
are usually SO much drawn out as to be sert-
ously injured. The one great argumentin favor
of fall-planting is, that where the tree escapes
all these risks, it generally grows much
stronger and more vigorous In spring than one
to heal, and the tree is ready to push out in the
spring almost as well as many not trans
planted. 1t saves year.
But after all, spring with most people will
ever be the favored time. The hot dry summer
may come and destroy, Just as the cold dry
winds Of winter may, and thus in some mea-
sure equalke the risk. but yet 1t is at this sea-
son that planting will be the most popular
cautioning. large number OF persons start
to plant as soon as the first bright sun shines
Through snow cloud, and before the earth is
dry enough to powder about the roots No
matter how fine overhead, the earth should not
be wet or frosty at the time of planting.
AS general thing the best time to plant trees
In the spring season is just before the buds
push, or even after they have just started
This implies an active condition OF the root,
and 1t generally occurs at time when the earth
is In the best condition for working in about the
uous trees, their removal may be extended
long into May.-[Ge1naanto,cn Telegraph.
