A Nice Point in Grammar.

THE two Young heirs, who had been
taking their first lessons in grammar,
disputed long and earnestly over a
question, and at last agreed to decide
it by arbitration, selecting the head of
the family as arbiter, with full power
to send for persons and papers. The
old man was greasing his boots before
the kitchen stove
Father" said the elder heir, sis it
proper to say we is rich,' or we am
rich ?"
The old man worked carefully down
into the hollow of his boot under the
instep, remaining long time in
thoughtful meditation, and then slowly
replied:
''Well, l should say it would come
higher TO the truth TO say we hain't
rich"
The young heirs, when they came to
think what hard time they had worry
ing pennies out of their paternal rela-
tive, thought it might be made that
way. too. And the old man kept on
amounting his boots with the extract of
hOg.-Rochiand Courier.

A Queer Roman Custom.

THERE is another custom which is
observed by all true Romans. namely,
the eating of large beans on the I'd of
November. The origin of this custom
is not known; but it is thought that in
olden times the dead were honored in
May instead of November. and that, as
beans were then in season, they formed
part of the feast. Now, however, dried
beans have to be eaten. and as every
one does not like that food, the Church
allows imitation beans. These are
made of sugar and pastry. made up in
the shape of and called dead mems
bones. The very name is sufficient to
deter many from partaking of this
pastry, though it is said to be delicious,
but the sight of human bone. even
when being eaten by the prettiest of
mouths, is not pleasant. The custom
of placing these death-bones on dining
tables had the same origin as that of in
Producing skeletons at festivals to re-
mind the guests that all were mortal
and that it was best to enjoy life whilst
they could.-7he Hour.

Trees for the Farm.


BELIEVE there is not as much care
and attention given TO forests. groves
and shade trees as their value and I'M
portance demands. We in the West
are doing considerable in this line, and
this WORK is on the increase from year
To year. And yet, on travelling through
the country, we see more places where
trees ought TO be planted than places
where trees are planted.
| believe the climatic influence of
trees is more in checking the force of
drying and damaging winds in summer
and piercing cold, snow-drifting winds
of winter than in the increase of rain.
They prevent the wind from carrying
of the humidity of the air. with which
it is filled from evaporation from soil
and from vegetation. 1t has been de-
monsirated. some years ago, on the
prairies of Iowa, that a belt of trees
around field, 10 break the wind. saved
the crops from damage, and thus OBJ
tanned greater product than it would
If all the ground had been occupied by
crops.
In my opinion. tree planters for eco
Domic uses do not investigate the value
OF the different sorts of timber to plant
The Red Cedar is very durable and val
liable, but So slow in growth that we
cannot afford 30 wait fer it. Same with
Mulberry and Osage Orange. In the
early settlement here the Black or Vel
low Locust was considered the most
valuable tree we could plant; but
the worms soon found their way out
here and destroyed them. The Cot
tonwood. Soft Maple and Green Willow
have been planted considerable; all
very rapid growers. The latter is most
valuable for farm uses. Then came
the European Larch, which, no doubt,
will prove valuable.
OF course we have learned some good
things by experience; and one is that
our Hardy Catalpa is more valuable
than any of the above named varieties.
1t is true that the experience of this
tree is quite limited and of short time
in the Northwest; but in Southern In
diana, Illinois and Missouri it is of sufii-
cient length of time TO prove IFS dura-
bliiy-as a post in the ground. lasting
forty, fifty, and even seventy-iiye Years.
1 have had twenty-five years of expert
ence with this tree. and in the early
period of my experience | discovered
that we had two varieties or species of
Catalpa-the one more thrifty. beautiful
and hardy. TO stand the bleak zero
weather of our climate. Hence, gave
it the distinctive name of Hardy. With
me it grows fast, about like that Of the
soft maple; blooms two or three
weeks earlier than the common or ten
der sort, larger, more white and beau
tiful flowers.
Trees for groves should be planted
close. not more than four by six feet
apart. that they may have small limbs
and send up a tail but straight tree. |
have often cut the young trees off near
the ground, that they may send up a
thrifty. straight sprout. which will
make the better tree.-!Saei Foster, in
n. I. Independent.

In 1865 Legotz calculated that there
were in France 49, 900 monks and SO,-
000 nuns. The number of monks is now
far behind what it was a century ago,
but the number of nuns is considerably
above it. Eighty-six different orders of
monks are represented in France, and
they have :, 026 establishments; PSI diff
ferent orders of nuns are represented,
and they have l2,004 establishments.
Seventy-two per cent. of the monks and
sixty-five per cent. of the nuns are en-
gagged in education; two per cent. of
the monks and twenty-five per cent. of
the nuns are engaged in attending on
the sick, and twenty-five per cent. of
the monks and eight per cent. of the
nuns are devoted to a purely contempla-
tive life. The Barnabites, who have
just been expelled. are one of the small
est OF the religious orders in France;
they have only three establishments,
with twenty-five members between
them. The largest order is that OF the
Christian Brothers. who number $500.
and have even increased largely since
1861, when they were only 6,39S.
