IN ATTEMPT TO REPAIIs THE RUIZ
OF AMERFC4N FORESTS.

The very necessities of their situation
have aroused the people of some OF our
Western States to action. In Kansas,
Nebraska and other States liberal pre-
miums have been offered for the encOU
agement of planting, and already i'll
many portions Of the prairie region
perceptible change has taken place, and
the eye no longer wanders over great
spaces without sight Of shrub or tree
Minnesota has her Forestry Association,
and its Secretary reports that between
seven and ten millions of trees were
planted in that State during the year
1877, of which more than half million
were planted in single day, "Arbor
Day." as it is called, or tree-planting
day. the first Tuesday of May having
been fixed upon as the day, and every
owner of land invited to devote the day
especially to the planting of trees. Sim
liar efforts have been made in other
States which are similarly situated in
respect to supply of forest. The great
railway companies, whose roads stretch
across the treeless prairies, have become
in some instances large planters of trees,
feeling the need of them both as screens
from the fierce storms that sweep down
from the Rocky mountains, and as a
source of supply for the ties which are
constantly needing renewal.
Tree-planters' manuals are published
and distributed freely. with a view to
aid those who would plant, giving them
the experience already obtained in re-
gard to the most profitable trees to
plant and the best methods of planting.
Thus in some places there is already
quite a movement in the right direction.
In the reports of planting the figures
make an imposing aggregate. But a

THREE ANGELS.

They say this life is barren, drear and cold;
Ever the same sad song was sung of old,
Ever the same long, weary tale is told,
And to our lips is held the cup of strife,
And yet-a little love can sweeten life.
They say our hands may grasp but joys de-
stroyed,
Youth has but dreams, and age an aching void,
Whose Dead Sea fruit long, long ago has cloyed,
Whose night with wild, tempestuous storms is
rife
And yet little hope can brighten life
They say we fling ourselves in wild despair,
Amidst the broken treasures scattered there.
Where all is wrecked, where all once promised
fair;
And stab ourselves with sorrows two-e<iged
knife
And yet a little patience strengthens life.
Is it then true, this tale of bitter grief,
Of mortal anguish finding no relief?
Lo! midst the winter shines the laurels leaf;
Three angels share the lot of human strife:
Three angels glorify the path Of life.
Love, Hope and Patience cheer US on our way,
Love- Hope and Patience form our spirits stay
Love- Hope and Patience watch US day by day,
And bid the desert bloom with beauty verlal,
Until the earthly fades in the eternal

nov ALCOHOL Is MADE.

When barley or other grain is stepped
in water till it sprouts, and then, care
fully dried, it becomes what is termed
malt. By this process part of the starch
of which the grain is mostly composed
has been converted into sugar, and a
new substance has been developed,
known as diastase, nitrogenous body,
which Immediately, when the malt is
mixed with water, reacts on the remain
ing starch and transforms it also into
sugar, the liquid consequently soon as
Stunning a sweet taste. We have now, IN
fact, solution of sugar, which is known
as wort; but we may attain the same by
using unmalted grain-potatoes, peas,
beans or other starchy materials which,
10y the addition of dilute sulphuric acid,
is converted into soluble sugar. Hav-
ing thus obtained a solution of sugar
from any of these sources, or still more
directly from beet root or "toothsome
cane," yeast is added to the wort, and
the process of fermentation" is rapidly
set up by which the sugar is decomposed
into two chief products, alcohol and car
bonic acid gas, and several minor ones,
glycerine, succinic acid, ETC., ninety
five out of every hundred parts of sugar
being transformed into alcohol and car
bonic acid, four parts going to form
glycerine, etc., and one part as nourish
ment to the yeast plant, which has null
tiplied immensely, and now forms a,
frothy scum upon the surface OF the
liquid. By the fermentation spirits
have been produced, and the object of
the next process, the distillation of the
fermented wort or mash, is to separate
the spirits from the liquid in which it
exists. The produce OF this operation is
an impure spirit knownas Glow vines, )"
which has to be redistilled at lower
temperature to get rid of part of the wa
ter and oils with which it is contaminat-
ed, the product of this second distilla-
ton being the mixture Of alcohol and
water known as "whisky'' or "spirits of
wine," because it was by the distiIIation
of wine that spirits were first obtained.

liberal discount needs to be made for
the probable failure of large percent
age of the trees planted. And even
with the most generous estimate in re-
gard to the work of planting, what is
accomplished as yet is but fraction of
what needs to be do1o. Il IS Tut the

talk is of millions of trees planted.

trees can stand upon an acre, and the
latest estimates put the annual decrease
of our forest area at 1000, 900 acres. So
that Minnesota, with all her ardor in
this work, has only planted one tree for
every acre of trees destroyed. An area
equal to that of the State of Marylandis is
every year swept clean of its trees. This
is large section to be taken yearly out
of our forest resources. With all that
we are yet doing in the way of tree
planting, the balance is largely against
us. With all the interest and energy
manifested by the young West on this
subject, stimulated by her most press
ing need, we are only planting one acre
while thirty five are laid bare by the ak
and by fire. And we must consider also
that the work of destruction goes on at
an increasing rate from year to year as
our population and our industries in
crease, and that the trees which are
felled are the product, on the average,
of more than century's growth, while,
those we plant must grow during a,
century before they can fill their place.

DEATH BY TELEGRAPH.

The discussion of electric-light dan
gers springs up or breaks out often and

expert was asked if a mans life was in
danger when his body was exposed to
the current Of electricity necessary to
feed the electric light. His reply was
that no man knew the extent of the dan
ger, or rather the extent of the injury
that might be incurred. If a man
should place his hands upon the wire
before the generator started and keep
them there until the machine stoppeG,
as he might be obliged to whether lie
wanted to or not, since the muscles
would contract very strongly-if he diI

the village green. He saw the man who
was to die at sunset standing up in the
dusky air, tall as a King and as beauti-
full as Absalom. He gazed with knitted
brow and angry eye; but his lips did
not give utterance to the quick COM
mand that trembled on them, for girl
came flying toward him. Pikeman and
archer stepped aside to let her pass.
She threw herself upon the turf at his
horses feet; she lifted her bleeding
and tortured hands to his gaze, and
once more poured out her prayer for
the life of her lover; with trembling
lips she told him why Richard still
lived-why the curfew had not sounded.
Lady Maud, looking out of her lat
ticed window at the castle, saw the
great Protector dismount, lift the faint
! ing form in his arms and bear her to
her lover. She saw the guards release
the prisoner, and she heard the shouts
of Joy at his deliverance; then she vel
coined the night that shut out the scene
from her envious eye and sepultured
her in its gloom.
At the next matin bell old Jasper
died, and at the curfew toll he was laid
beside the wife who had died in his
youth, but the memory Of whom had
been with him always.

GETTING THE BEST OF B4RNUM.
In 1875 one of P. T. Barnum's writer's
carded the procession as NEARLY a
League of Lavish Lustre." An am
bilious Vermonter thought he saw in
this statement an opportunity of making
himself a rural lion at the great show
mans expense, and so abruptly tackled
him in the Office of the American Hotel,
at Burlington, in presence of a large
crowd, and the following dialogue en-
sued
"Is your name Barnum
81 believe, sir, they call me that
where l am best known"
"You advertise two miles of pro-
cession, don't you?"
81 scarcely know, but presume so.
My agents look after such Details"
"You do advertise it, and you amt

"Haven't we?"
"No, you amt"
"There is mile of it, isn't there?"
"Perhaps there is.
"Well, there's another mile of excited
people following it, which makes two
miles, don't it ?'
A roar of laughter greeted this sally,
amid which the crushed Green Noun
taineer slid out, sadder man, and wise
enough not to again try to get the best
of Barnum.
