cheering at the hauling matches and making

future for the State of Maine, and predicted
that Aroostook will become great manufac-

Trees to Prevent en0wdrilts.


According to British officials report
trees have been extensively planted
along the line Of some Of the railroads in
Russia for the purpose Of keeping &C.
cumulati0ns of snow from the tracks.
This expedient has been 90 successful
that it will be moro generally adopted.
Both trees and shrubs are employed and
are usually planted in seven parallel
rows. The trees that have been planted
are: elm, ash, oaks, linden, naples,
thorns and honey locust. Pines were
also used in some places. Among the
shrubs, or trees Of low growth, are wild
plum, hazel, privet, elder, false indigo,
etc.
In our own country, rarely q winter
passes without q blockade Of travel due
to snow drifts, and the managers Of our
railways will find in the Russian exam
pie an additional inducement to plant
trees, aside for the production Of ties.
In some parts Of Russia trees are planted
so keep the loose sands from being blown
upon the tracks. For this purpose q
dwarf willow, gorze and two species OF
plum have been planted. Those who
have seen how the sands Of the shores
of our great lakes are retained by the
PROSTATE jumpers, and those near tho
sea- coast BY the Hudsonias, would be dis
posed to plant these for holding blowing
sands in preference to the shrubs named
above. Among the most effective plants
for holding sand in place is q grass, the
common sea sand-reed.

Chrome Cards and the Artistic Sense.

Frank H. Smith in Midland Monthiy.l
The past decade has been notably pro-
life in the designing, manufacture and
distribution of chrome cards of rare
beauty. The rage for them came SO
suddenly and SO fiercely that we at first
regarded it as one of the cvanescent
manias which periodically affiict the
people. Dealers were at first loath to
embark in trade which they believed
would run out its course i'll a season or
two. But to their surprise the demand
continued, and to this day it shows no
symptoms Of decline. The pretty little
cOlorcd cards, with fanciful designs Of
cupids and children playing, flowers,
birds and beasts, mon and women in
graceful attitudes and attractive cos
tunes which are given out by stores are
eagerly sought by children and even
grown ladies. They are used i'll orna-
menting their rooms, hung in windows,
or neatly pasted in scrap books.
Tho effect of these cards upon the
popular taste has been most decided.
rhoy have Guickcncd the artistic sense
and aesthetic impulse Of the people. 1t
is not in human nature to have such
pictures in sight every hour Of tho day,
and not unconsciously imbibc taste for
chastc art works, with tho almost iney-
liable attendant feeling Of dissatisfac-
ton or disgust at anything ordinary OF
coarse. Thus it Is that picture cards
are doing good missionary work among
the masses

Quleting the wakeful Brain.

A paragraph has recently been in cir.
culation to the effect that q continuous
low noise favors sleep; the sound Of
water dropping on brass pan has been
prescribed by a physician with good
effect. The explanation seems to be
that simple, monotonous impression
quiets ho brain by occupying it, to tho
exclusion of more varied and interest
ing, and therefore stimulating i'm
pressions. On tho same principle are
the devices Of counting backward or
forward, imagining sheep jumping one
by one through gap, ETC.; but they arc
open to tho objection Of causing one
portion of the brain to be cxcrtcd in
order to control the rest of it.

Trades and Clerlkslall.s.

There arc more mechanics now, ap-

Everywhere there is enforced idleness,
and skilled labor is but little better off
than unskilled muscle. It is possible
that If We had commenced in thi S coun-
try to give our children trades a gu arter
of century ago, we might have kept
out the supply of foreign tradesmen, but
it is now too late. Foreign mechanics
flood tho country, and they have como

them; and if We could, there is no dis
