SANITARY USE OF TREES.

It is generally known that trees and
shrubbery take the carbonic acid thrown
out in the breath of men aud animals,
separate it into its component parts
carbon of oxygen-give back the latter
to be used over again, and work up the
former into wood and fruit. It is also
coming to be generally understood that
forest trees do important service in
prompting rainfalls, and in helping to
retain the surface water for springs.
streams and general use. 1t is also
known that certain species, planted in
malarial localities, help to render the lat
ter healthy by somehow using up the
deadly miasma. It would not appear
that trees growing near drains carry, off
the sewerage water. A gentleman whose
cess-drain was constructed just like his
neighbors, and in the same kind of soil.
has found it unnecessary to clean it out,
while the others had to be cleaned out
frequently. An. examination showed
that three large trees, whose roots had
penetrated into the vicinity of his second
or waste, oess-pool, were clearly the
channels through which the waste all
escaped. Whether it was changed into
plant-food, as is likely, or was exhaled
through the leaves, in either case it was
disposed of with equal safety.

A WONDER OF MECHANISM.

n. Y. Star: The artificial arm worn by
"Jim" McClelland, the New York law
yer, is a wonder of mechanism. Mr.. Nc
Clelland was, in his earlier days, news
paper reporter. On one occasion, when
in the pursuit of information for the
journal upon which he was employed,
his persistent questioning excited the ire
of a burly saloon keeper in the Ninth
Ward. The man struck ''Jim" in the
face with his clenched fist. The next IN
slant the assailant was stretched upon the
floor, "as flat as founder for "Jim"
had struck back with his wooden arm.
The saloon keeper picked himself up, ex-
claiming:
"Well, that fellow, has the hardest and
heaviest fist that l ever came across. 1t
is like sledge hammer, and he could
knock down an OK with it."
ST am really sorry that I hit you SO
hard,' rejoined the kind-hearted Nc
Clellasd; "but the fact is there is o
spring in this wooden arm of mine that
works automatically, and whenever get
mad or am insulted that spring begins to
work, and the first I know 1 have hit
somebody. If this sort of things keeps
on think | will be obliged to leave the
confounded machine at home just for the
safety of the public, and especially of
such fellows as you, who do not under
stand the rules of common politeness. F"

GOVERNOR SMITH has received from
the Secretary of the Interior approved
lists, showing the amount of indemnity
lands to which the State of Wisconsin is
entitled for swamp land, belonging to the
State which have not been patented, as
well as other lands belonging to the State
which have been sold by the General
Government. The total number of acres
of indemnify lands is 176,510, and are
located in the following districts: Me-
nasha, Wausau, Bayfield,, La Crosse,
Eau Claire, and st. Croix. The govern
ment expects that by the time the claim
has been fully adjusted the State will re-
ceiye one hundred thousand additional
acres. The greater portion of the last
named tracts will be selected by the
State from government lands to pay for
swamp lands disposed of by the United
States prior to March 3, 1857. The
Government has from time to time sold
hundred and twenty thousand acres of
swamp lands belonging to Wisconsin,
and the amount received therefore. about
$3.50, 900, will be paid into the treasury
of the State. 1t is expected that fully
400, 900 acres or their equivalent III cash
will be secured before the close of the
present fiscal year.

WHAT'S IN A NAME.

sKing, the wrestler, had fight with
driver on transfer wagon in front OF the
Weddell House, yesterday, and got the
worst of it. Both parties were arrest
ed"
The above little paragraph, which WAS
clipped from the Cleveland Sunday
Voice, reminds us of an adventure which
befell the celebrated prize fighter Tom
Hyer, in Albany, good many years ago.
Hyer was an American, and it was just
after the famous battle with yankee
Sullivan" the Irish champion, in which
the former was victorious, and when Hy-
er's name was in almost everybodys
mouth. Hyer was the worse for liquor,
and in passing along the sidewalk he
jostled rather roughly countryman who
was minding his own business. The lat
ter said a little savagely, "Come, what
are you about?" Hyer turned and slap
ped him in the face. The countryman,
like the prize fighter, was OF a large stat
ure, and, not knowing who it was that
had insulted him, fell afoul of Hyer with
great fury. The prize fighter found
himself doubled up SO quick that he had
no time to display any Of that science
which he had used upon Yankee Sullivan.
Hyer, after the first onset, picked him
self from the gutter where he had been
hurled, and struck an attitude which
might have appalled, scientific oppon-
was like shaking red flag in the eyes
of an enraged bull, and he went for him
again like hurricane. Hyer a second
time went down under the furious onset,
and the countryman, determined to fol-
low up the advantage, threw himself up
on the PROSTATE form of his gigantic an
tagonist and commenced to pound him
numerically. In the meantime large
crowd had gathered, and one man who
know Hyer sang out "Hyer What
the hare you doing to let countryman
lick yer9"
The victorious yeoman heard the name,
"Hyer,' turned pale to think of his per-
il, and springing to his feet, leaving his
hat in the street, took to his legs and ran
at headlong pace as though pursued
by something worse than Tam O'Shanter
ever fled from. He left Albany by the
leg express, and did not stop at the way
stations Times.

A SICK BRUTE'S INSTINCT.

A New Orleans correspondent of the
Louisville Courier Journal says concern
ing the new horse epidemic:
Pedestrianism is luxury, and the ex-
ercise of heels obviates street-car facih-
ties, which may be Withdrawn shortly If
the prevailing horse epidemic continues.
1t has alarmingly increased within the
past week. Most of the stables of the
twenty lines of street cars, as well as
many livery and private stables, are in
fected, and many fine animals have al
ready died. It strikes Unfortunately.
The disease, when taken in its earlier
sta ges, yields readily to the treatment of
the Veterinary surgeon. 1t is pronounced
of blood poisoning character. The
gums and tongue of the animals assume
bright scarlet hue Immediately, the eyes
are watery, the kidneys are affected, and,
in many cases, dropsy produced. A fire.
quenter Of Tattersall's, prodigal with
love and money for horses, visited one of
the hospitals in which many of their sick
animals were confined the other day and
witnessed scenes which eyinced degree
of sagacity bordering upon that kind of
intelligent characteristics of man, and
which displayed something more definite
than mere instinct. He accompanied a
well-known veterinary surgeon. The en-
trance of the surgeon was the signal of
evident hilarity on the part of his sick
patients. The meeting between the sur
geon and the poor sick horses was one of
evident recognition. One of the animals,
special favorite of the surgeon, APP
preached him with suppressed neigh,
repeated at the sound of the surgeons
voice, and softly dropped his head upon
the surgeons shoulder, looking appeal
ingly at him with his moistened eye and
stirred not from his position until the
surgeon had ministered to his ailment.
1t was as natural an appeal as the human
voice could have uttered. The medicine
taken, the intelligent animal retired in
good order to await the result, with evil
dent confidence in his doctor.

APPLES AS FooD.-A raw, mellow ap-
pie is digested in an hour and a half,
while boiled cabbage requires five hours.
The most healthy dessert that can be
placed on a table is baked apple. If
eaten frequently at breakfast with coarse
bread aud butter, without meat or flesh
of any kind. it has an admirable effect
upon the general system, often remov-
ing constipation, correcting acidities,
ard cooling off febrile conditions more
effeetually than the most approved med
icines. If families could be induced to
substitute them for pies, cakes and sweet
meats, with which their children are gen.
orally stuffed, there would be diminu-

INDIAN NAMES In WISCONSIN.

Our readers are aware that most of the
names OF places in this vicinity are deriy-
ed from the Indian language, some Of
them have been altered somewhat for the
sake of euphony, as, for instance, Pesh.
tigo for Pe-shet i-go. We interviewed
our old friend Captain Powell, the other
day, who is well along i'll years, and was
born here, and is almost as familiar with
the Indien language as the Indians them
selves, and he gave us the following as
the Specifications of some of the names
of the places in this vicinity:
Suamico-The yellow sand.
Oconto-The place of the pickeral.
Pensaukee-The place of the brants
Peshtigo-Snapping turtle.
Menomiree-Wild rice.
Menekaunee The places where the
lodges are; literally, the village.
Escanaba-A fiat rock.
Manitowoc-The dwelling.of the spirit.
Kewaunee-The name of kind of
duck.
Thus it will be seen that the Indians
named places after some popularity of
the location; or, as in the case of Manit
owoc, after some superstition. Most of
the American names are utterly mean
ingless, as applied to the locality, and
we like the Indian plan the best.
Take for instance, hppletown, Sey-
mour, New London, Preble, ETC., which
convey no idea whatever. Bellevue is
better, but il is French, and is duplicat-
ed in other languages, as, for instance,
Buena Vista, in Spanish. Fond du Lac
is good and conveys an idea.
Oshkosh psrpetuates tne name of an
Indian chief, and Marinette that of an
