THE FORESTRY MOVEMENT.

/ On Tuesday last there assembled at
Cincinnati what is known as the Fores
/ try Congress of the United States, all or
gaLization that essays the laudable work
of checking the steady destruction of
the timber in this country. This is a
movement that ought to elicit hearty in
terest and cooperation in every state of
the Union, but more especially those
where nature has not been lavish with
foliage and shade Thoughtful men
long ago pointed out the reckless folly
that persisted Ill leveling the forests OF
this country, destroying the timber of
commerce without an effort to replace
1t. Scientists, too, have shown that as
the trees disappear climatic conditions
are reversed and agricultural interests
alike are concerned in the
preservation of the timber, or
what amounts to the same
thlng-the production of new forests
to replace that used for commercial and
domestic purposes. II is on these ac-
counts that so many of the states have
instituted what are known a their
"Arbor Days" when, III every commu-
nifty, the citizens unite in planting such
trees as have proven best adapted to
their soil and climate The occasion is
made a festival or picnic, and in the
states of Nebraska, Nevada, Michigan
ana others, the duty of tree planting is
held by the good cttiz~n as one of the
most binding obligation. This spirit
should exist III every state, but
notably 80 in the prai-
RE sections, and we hope at a very
early day to see the system established
in Texas. We have never been blessed
with an abundance of timber here. and
aside from the practical utility of such
a policy for fuel, fences, etc, it il one of
great Importance viewed from an agri-
cultural standpoint. The county whose
citizens, for five years to come, viii plant
trees III abundance, dotting every square
mile of the prairies, will never more
complain Of parching drouths Nature
has demonstrated that she never re-
fuses her cooling tears where the trees
grow IN abundance. We need a geuer-
ally kept "Arbor Day" in Texas far

railroads.

Courtship Under Dimcu,,,es.

A fair but not faithless Parisienne has
devised novel, ingenious and altogeth-
er satisfactory method of celebrating
the lst Of April. Having for some time
been pestered by the attentions of an
aged bean, she finally consented to per-
NIT him to visit h on the day in ques-
ton. Punctual to the hour he rang, all
in his gay attire, and was ushered into
the reception room and into the pres
ence OF the lady's husband and brother,
one OF whom was playing carelessly with
his revolver while the other was put,
ting an edge on Misunderstanding
dagger. There was an awful silence for
about minute, when the husband re-
marked, carelessly, "Oh you're the man
tha! my wife said was to call to clean the
kitchen coppers, eh ~ Precisely"
stammered he by no means gay Lotha-
rio, catching at this desperate hope.
"Al right, step tits way and the
lover was led into the kitchen and set
to work. At the end of his task, having
ruined his new suit and sorely abraded
his knuckles, he was summoned into the
presence OF madame, who paid him
three francs, promised to recommend
him TO her friends as a good workman,
and desi ed the bonne to give the poor
man glass of something o drink.
