Planting Oak Trees.

The most common trees throughout
the Western States are oaks of different
varieties. They are found growing on
hillsides, along the banks of streams, on
the prairies. The soil and climate are
favorable to their production. The oak
thrives here as the beech does in New
England, the chestnut in Maryland, the
pine i'll Northern Michigan, the cotton
wood on the banks of the Ohio and its
tributaries, and the magnolia in the Gulf
States. 1t does not suffer from root-rot,
sun-scald, or the attacks of insects. 1t
is hardy and long-lived. 1t requires no
pruning, no protection, no transplant
ing, no manuring, no cultivation. 1t
furnishes most of the wood employed as
timber, fair proportion of the posts
and rails used for fencing, and all the
tan-barks we produce. The trees are
stately and highly ornamental. They
throw up no sprouts OF suckers. They
afford admirable shade for all kinds Of
stock, while their branches make excel
lent roosting places for fowls of all
kinds. They produce large crops of
acorns, that are readily eaten by swine
and sheep.
Still no one engaged in the culture of
trees for timber or fuel plants oak trees.
They generally experiment with trees
that are far brought and dearly
bought, and make complete or par
tial failure. Millions of dollars have
been spent for no purpose in buying
or setting out the European larch and
other trees raised in nurseries, which
require protection from the sun and
cold, a large amount of cultivation, and
training. To raise q good |
crop of oak trees it is only necessary to
plow the land or dig up portions OF it,
to drop the acorns, and to leave them to
yerminate and grow. They will come

A Wonderful Cup.

Baron Charles de Rothschild, OF
Frankfort-on-the-Main, purchased, not
long ago, for the. enormous sum of
800. 900 francs ($160, 1000 silver-gilt
cup by the celebrated Jammitzer, which
Is said to be marvellous work of art.
This sum, according to the ChrOni9ue
des Artes, is, as far as it knows, the
largest price ever paid in modern times
for single object of art. The work is
the center piece of table service. The
foot is composed of rock entirely cov-
cred with grasses and field flowers, on
which desport themselves beetles, little
lizards, locusts and snails. From this
rises the figure of a woman, emblemat-
izing the earth, and bending in eloquent
pose as she supports on her head and
her hands tall chalice, decorated with
grotesques and topped by a cover, which
terminates in vase in the form of a
leaves and flowers. The silver gilt of
which the cup is made has ornaments in
Opaque and translucent enamels. The
goldsmithery of the sixteenth century is
said to offer nothing more finished in
execution, and which, though open to
criticism, possibly forms the standpoints
both of taste and style, has its weak
nesses counterbalanced by the wonder
full perfection of all its details.
The story of Baron Rothschild's nc
QUESTION of the work is quite curious.
1t formed part of the estate of the late
Nuremberg banker, Merkel, who died in
1878, and whose heirs, by common ac-
cord, agreed to loan it, together with
Albert Durer's portrait of Holchucher,
to the German Museum at Nuremberg,
of which Jammitzer's chef d'Oeuvre be-
came one of the greatest treasures. In
deed the public, during the years it was
on exhibition, thought it belonged to
the museum. 1t was so arranged that
the work could not be taken away with
out joint consent of the heirs and Min
isterial authorization. Some months
ago the celebrated art work disappeared
from the galleries, to the great astonisb-
ment and CONSERVATION of the Nurem-
bergers and the country in general.
After while it leaked out that Frank
fort dealer in art objects, the agent of
Baron Rothschild, had appeared with
the necessary papers from the family
and the Director of the Museum had
been obliged to deliver to him the cup.
The whole affair was conducted with
great secrecy, and it is certain that had
It been known that the object was for
sale the Directors of the Nuremberg
Museum, as well as many 9TH
ers, would have competed with the pres
ent purchaser for its possession.

Praise.

As general thing we are too chary in
praising and encouraging the efforts of
the young, too free in criticising and de-
preciating them. Manya child's powers
in various directions are thrust back into
inactivity by the cold, unappreciative re-
ception they meet with. Children quick
ly adopt the sentiments of their elders,
and soon learn to put the same value on
their own powers that others do The
parent, the teacher, and the employer
can easily teach lessons of self-deprecia-
ton which may cling through life, and
forever prevent the development of pow
ers that, under more favorable auspices,
might have proved blessing to the
community; or. ON the other hand, by
cheerful encouragement and wholesome
commendation, they may nourish many
a tiny germ of ability and talent that
may one day come to be mighty influ-
ence-a perceptible power in the world.
