Lewiston, who had charge of the moving Of
the building, says it is by far the largest build

yet thorough examination shows it to be in
as good condition as when built, and bids fair
to survive many more modern edifices.

SHADE TREES.
How. When. and the Variety That should
BE PAINTED.

How, When. and the Variety That should
BE PAINTED.
There is nothing that presents more
attractive appearance to the weary
traveller over the highways Of the coun-
try, especially in summer, than to see
upon their sides lines of shade trees
that have been set perhaps by former
generation. We were panied at one
time to hear farmer say: II wouldn't
care if there WASH t shade tree. by the
side of the road. i don't thiBk he frost
gets out aslsoon in the spring md the
roads are bad. 1t has been sad that
the condition of the roads of a country
are an index to the civilization of that
country Although the reference was
probably to the condition, it might ap-
ply with equal propr.ety to the general
character There Is something grand
about one Of these old roads with trees
whose branches interlace over the trav-
eled path, forming ashaded arch. Such
scenes are occasionally met with. and
let the present generation hesitate not
to render such service as they owe to
those who come after them by eontinu-
ing the work of setting shade trees by
the roadside.
II taken in the early spring there is
but little difficulty in making trees
grow, if they are carefully raised and
the roots are not cut off too much.
They can usually be selected in for
ests. and can be taken up with clump
of earth. Before setting the top and
branches should be wei cnt back. and
when placed in the hole prepared for it
the earth should be worked about the
roots so as to come in perfect contact
with them, and insure certain growth.
OF the varieties most desirable may be
mentioned the common elm and hard
maple. The white ash also would find
an appropriate place, as well as the
soft maple At setting it is well to
have some protection placed about the
trees to prevent injury. Although a
labor of love, he who walks IN the
shade of trees viii sound the praise Of
