Fruit Trees for Ornament.

Can any one tell why grape vine is
not a suitable ornament for a front
porch, or what would be the objection
to fine standard pear or grand wide
spreading apple tree on the lawn Was
ever a poisoning shade tree more
beautiful than either of these when the
flowers come out1 and is not the rich
green of the leaves thing of beauty all
the season. When the purple clusters
hang thick on the vine, and the red
apples and juicy pears shine through
the leaves in Autumn, it certainly could
not take anything from the beauty of
the scene. When one has but little
space, as in village lot, could not the
useful and ornamental be proftably
combined by putting in handsome fruit
trees in the place of those designed
only for shade2 and a pretty dwarf
pear or two would look we'll among the
shrubbery. A row of young cherry
trees before a fine house with a many
pillared porch is one of the pleasant
memories of my early walks to school.
The old doctor who owned the proper
ty gave these trees as much care and
attention as he ever did a rich patient.
He was almost daily doing something
for them, if it was only to pour bucket
of suds about their roots, loosen the
ground little, or bury a dish of bones
under the soil. But their marvellous
growth was the wonder of the village,
and in very few years they cast a
deep shade over the whole sidewalk,
and yielded bountiful supply of great
ox-cheat cherries. Let us give our
children all such memories we can, for
they are healthful for mind and body
both. Fruit, or no fruit, means riches
or poverty in the minds of our little
children, and there is certainly thrift
mess about home well supplied with
this luxury, which is better than an
old stocking full of hard dollars in the
strong chest, but only one old crab
apple tree in the pasture lot.

Every child living in the country has
stood and watched the curious operation,
and wandered what the lump was he
saw come up in the cows throat, and
then 60 down again after she had chew
ed it for certain length of time. And
perhaps he may have seen the anxiety
and turmoil produced on farm by the
report that some one of the cows had
s'lost her cud," and as the result of
this excitement he may have seen the
absurd attempt to "make new cud,"
in the hope that the cow would by such
means be restored to good condition.
There is in the minds of large proper
ton of the community so little correct
understanding of the true nature of
"chewing the cud" that few words
concerning it may not be amiss. A
very large tribe of animals of which
sheep and COWS are only familiar exam
pies, are called in works of natural his
tory ruminantia, because they all ru-
minate-they chew the cud. They
have, it is said in the books, four stom-
achs, but the statement is not strictly
correct, for the entire digestion is done
in single one, that which is called the
fourth, the other three being only places
for preparatory work. Their food is
swallowed without being chewed the
chewing is to come later. When this
unchewed food is first swallowed it pass
es directly into the first stomach, to
use the common term but the drink
which the animal takes goes straight
past the entrance of the first into the
second. These two serve only to soak
and soften the coarse food.
When the first has done what it can
the food passes out of it into the Sec
ond, and then the cow or sheep is ready
to "chew the cud." The second stom-
ach, while busy at work in soaking the
food, keeps it in motion, and gradually
rolls it up into masses, so that in the
small upper part there is formed an OBJ
long solid lump of the size that we re-
cognize as the "cud." This the ami
NAL throws up into the mouth, and
chews with evidently as much satisfac-
ton as the same act of maStlcation
gives US when we put the most delicate
morsels between our teeth. When it is
sufficiently chewed the mass is swallow
ed and its place taken by another which
has been rolled up in the meantime.
But the "cud" thus masticated does
not return from the second stomach,
from which it had come. 1t passes
smoothly into the third, place for adj
ditional fabrication, and then into the
fourth, where the true digestion begins
and ends. This is, in brief, the whole
story, and we see how naturally the
chewing comes in; it is the same as in
our own case, only that it is at differ
ent stage of the foods progress. And
we see also what closing the cud"
really is. The cow or sheep is suffer
ing from indigestion the t'second
stomach has failed to roll up the little
masses suitable for chewing, and there
is nothing which the poor beast can
bring up. Of course, therefore, the
one thing required is to restore the
tone and power of the stomach not to
burden it with an artificial cud' which
would only increase the difficulty, in
stead of relieving it.

The diseases commonly called "hol-
low horn," has no immediate connec-
ton with the horns, as animals without
horns manifest the same symptoms.
The disease in question is the result of
Inflammation extending from the mu-
cuous membrane lining the nostrils, into
the sinuses of the skull and horns,
there being direct communication
between these parts. Debility, improp-
er and insufficient food, exposure, and
all other causes that tend to weaken
the system may give rise to this condi-
ton. The treatment must be such as
to counterfeit this deficiency, and should
consist mainly of good nursing. Keep
the animal in dry, warm, well ventila-
ted place, payparticular attention to card
ing and brushing, give nourishing food,
and a little physic if necessary. Rub
the spine frequently. Boxing the horns
is useless and barbarous and is to be
placed in the same category with cut
ting off the tail as remedy for the
"wolf," as still practiced by the ignor-
ant.

The years death roll ranks higher than
hat of last year in the number Of the men
who have been and will be famous in the
history Of the present century.
At the head OF the national list is Grant,
the greatest soldier Of the United States.
Next to him perhaps should come the
name of Moses Montefore, in many re-
spects the greatest phiIanthrophist Eng
land has ever produced. France has lost
her greatest author of the century. Victor
Hugo, whose genius had for years won
the worlds admiration. Last on the list
