aside from their marketable value, lies in
their power not to cause the rainfall, but
to regulate its distribution. In this they
are of incalculable benefit. When they
cover the ground about the sources of
great rivers and their tributaries, the
porous soil, with its mosses and its accu-
mutations of fallen leaves, acts as a vast
sponge to retain and slowly deliver the
water that falls from the clouds in the
form of rain or snow. When the shelter
ing trees are destroyed and the ground is
laid bare, all the water runs of at once
the brooks that had before flowed contin-
uously and with comparative regularity
become roaring torrents in spring and dry
channels in summer, while the rivers that
depend on these sources OF supply swell
into freshets at one season and shrink
into insgniticance at another.
The recent destructive floods in the
north of Italy, and notably along the
river Po, with all the misery they have
brought, are ascribed, and no doubt with
truth, to the partial denudatlon Of the
mountainous country about the sources

valueless condition OF certain parts of

similar evils DO not fall upon us. That
wonderful region Of the West known as
the Great Divide gives birth to the Mis-
souri,, the Yellowstone, the Columbia, the
Colorado, and the North Fork OF the
Platte. The preservation Ct its shelter
ing forests is OF Vital interest to all the
regions watered by these rivers The
same is true, ia a different degree, of the
sources OF many lesser streams within our
national territory. Sometimes, as in the
case OF the Hudson, the source of the
river and its whole course lie within The
limits of one State, and the local govern
ment is therefore master of the situation.

Mr.. Clarkson on St. John and his Organ

In response TO inquiries prompted by dis
cussion of Ex-Governor John F. st. John, of
Kansas, and his performances during the Ma
tlonal political campaign of last year, the fol-
lowing private letter recently written by
Mr. j. $. Clarkson, of the Iowa State Register,
and of the Republican National Committee, and
by its recipient furnished to the New York
Tribune for publication;
DIES MONIES, April u, 1885.

the 10th. and reply to it al once. The assertions
of the 81. John people that | have printed anv
letter or made any expression eXcupaing ST.
John from his dishonest courses in the last
campaign are all pure inventions. 1t is proba
bic that the New York Witness may have said
so, Tor 1t has great capacity aud apparently
IA great ambition to invent and print stupid and
malicious lies. | am as much convinced of the
perhdy and venaHty of ST. John in the cam
paign last year as | am that there was IL cam
paign. The agent he sent to me is the nearest
friend he has had in his life; has always been
bis agent and huckster, and there is not the
least doubt that he came to me with authority
from st. John to sell out his candidacy for
$4,000. He brought with him letter from
Senator Plumb, of Kansas, Introducing him
and SAYING he knew he was authorized to
act for st. John. He also showed me himself
two letters from st. John, in which the matter
was discussed as cooy as though he We're

whose name was Legate, would sit at my
table, send dispatches to st. John, who was
then IN ONO, and receive answers from him.
There is not the least doubt that st. John
wanted to SELL and that Legate was aut uthorized
to sell him to the Republicans for SO 900 in
cash. Things that iegate agreed TO do by way

Why are Onions Difficult to Raise

Why are Onions Difficult to Raise7
Many al our readers seem to have
trouble ID raising onions from seed. The
seed viii grow, and so DO the onions, but
they do not form bulbs. They produce
thick necks and keep green and growing
uutil cut down by frost. Many think this
Is due 70 climate. Possibly this is so, but
in many cases the trouble is more likely
~ he due to some OF the following causes
namely: Poor seed, poor land, late
sowing and weeds. BY poor seed we do
not Wcan seed that Will not grow, but i'll
bred seed seed grown from a crop of
onions, The best ot which have been sold,
ana those not good enough to sell, plant

bulb and 1t thich, immature neck, will
ploduee quite us much and quite as good
looking seed as the best formed bulb
n tact more seed and better looking seed.
Seed 4iown from scallions, or from thick
heched onions, will be very sure to pro-
Guce scalliors. We can row down stream
idster than We can pull up against the
current. The onion has been brought to
perfection 10y nigh feeding and careful
selection, and if We would maintain what
We have gained, we must continue our
rltu,ts, but must not select the poorest
onions to breed from.
BY poor land, we do not mean land

Is not done, and you have TO get the land

full yield. Even if everything else is
favorable, if the onion patch is not kept

and freedom from weeds have the same
effect; both are favorable to rapid growth
Onion roots spread out very little on the

"Tell me now, Hope" persuasively.
Hope looked around for Mr.. Morgan.
He had gone, having thanked the sailors
and suitably rewarded Captain Bill, to
carry the news up to the hotel, and, per-
haps to be away when Hope told her
secret.
''ln minute" she said "you mustn't
be impatient. Goodbye, Captain Brown
"Good-bye, SIS" enveloping her little
hand in his great paw. "Safe, amt he ?
Safe with Captain Bill !" and laughing
vocferously at his own obscure joke, he
nodded to the young people a kindly
good night.
They had gone step or two in silence.
when Jack ventured to suggest: "The
secret !"
Hope clasped her hands delightedly
over his arm.
cob, Mr.. Jack, near forgot. Wouldn't
you like to guess what it is ?"
Jack shook his head decidedly.
"l'm not good at guessing" he said.
"Well," drawing a long contented
breath. "What would you like more than
anything else in the world ?"
Jack gave quick look into her happy
face.
You know what | want, Hope" he
said, gravely. "Is it that ?" "No, it
can't be that, Hope?"
ooh, it is, Mr.. Jack it is ~ she said,
fairly dancing by his side, which, on the
wet and slippery plank, greatly imperill-
ed Jacks equilibrium. "Your father says
you can 60 to college, and Pm so happy
don't know what to do"
Jacks happiness showed itself in 81
lence.
"Arent you glad?" asked Hope, solci-
tously.
Glow did he come to do it, Hope {?
Who asked him ?"
Hope wondered if Mr.. Jack was dis
pleased

afternoon. Are you angry ?"
"Angry 2" He stopped in the road and
looked down at the anxious little face.
'Angry, dear when you've done me the
biggest service that any one could possi-
10y do? wish | had words to tell you
how happy and grateful am"
There was another interval Of silence
after that as they walked on towards the
house. When at length they were very
near, Jack spoke again:
81 never knew my father cared so
much for me-" he said humbly.
Hopes voice trembled a little as she
thought how Mr.. Morgan had been wor-
rying only half an hour before.
You'll never say again what you said
this afternoon, will you, Mr. Jack ?"
Jack shook his head very decidedly.
Never, Hope"

guests had gathered to welcome tie wan

hands again with his father, he turned
to the elderly cripple:

The Trumpet Blows.

The brown clods quicken into creeping green,
The hushed air whispers low;
Bare boughs burst out in tender, misty sheen,
On banks the violets blow;
The orchards blossom sudden like bride,
And far hills melt in haze,
w While golden willows stand on either side
Along the brooks glad ways.
GIancing with quiv'ring wings from bough to
bough
The buebird finds his mate
a trill-a dash of piercing melody
Nay, coy one. why SO late?
In every little wood bliss to sing
The trembling. huttering birds;
With rapture satisfied the copses ring,
A JOY beyond all words.
70 the light kisses of the odorous air
My pulses rise and fall,
Enchanted by that timid touch, aware
OF one who stirs in all.
l, too, am borne by influences deep;
lremble, like the rose.
Love hath awakened all the world from sleep
For me the trumpet blows!
