TREE PLANTING.

In no portion of the country il tree
planting more generally practlsed
than IN those States which lie ne
tween the Mississippi River and the
Rocky Mountains. The prairie set
tiers found but little timber, ami ihat
confined to the borders ofthe streams.
They began To plant trees, hrst ap-
parently for protection against the
strong winds, and afterwards for fuel
and other purposes. In most cases
the Western Cottonwood was the
fayorite for shelter belts, while VIII
lows are to be seen in many places.
Although much has been said oy
writer's on forestry against the COTTON
wood, yet l regard it as one OF the
best of the pioneer trees. AS mas
been shown by experience, 1t VIII
thrive upon the open plain, when
MANY a better tree would make but
little growth, or die outright. Its
quick growth enables the settlers to
supply himself in short time with
fuel, not the best by any means. but
still tuel worth having.
But the day of the Cottonwood is
short. 1t is like the human pioneer
Its work is SOON done. and then II
must give place to better growth
| After the Cottonwood has shaded the
| rr,,,,,,d auu kant the winds from
sweeping the surface, the Maple, th'
Walnut, the Catalpa and the Ash hnt
no difficulty in obtaining foothold
Often indeed the Silver Maple ant
the Box Elder are planted success
fully almost as soon "a the Cotton
wood, and serve, like it, TO
furnish fuel, and to prepare the sol
for other trees. Eventually, the Wal
nut, Elm, Ash and Catalpa are TIT
species to be most abundantly planted
for fuel and for timber. The Hare
| Maple must wait until the soil ant
the air have been much modified be
fore it can be successfully planted
so, too, with Oaks, the Chestnut sn'
the Beech. Of evergreens, the Scotcl
and the Austrian Pines may be mad
to grow with little difficulty, after tn
pioneer trees have accomplished thel
aneliorating work.-Prof. Chas. L
Ressey, in American AgIiculiurls

The Republic of France is becoming
extravagant. From being the cheap
est government the country has had
for century, it has already become
the costiiest. Under the Consular
and Imperial rule of Bonaparte, it
cost $23, 600 per hour to govern France;
the restored Bourbons increased that
sum to $23, 300, and Louis Philippe to
$4,000 per hour. This was an in
crease commensurate with the growth
of population. The Second Bepublic
further swelled the hourly budget to
$34 900, and the profligate Second
Empire ran up to an average of $49,-
800. After Sedan, retrenchment was
the order of the day; and up to 1882
the hourly rate OF public expenditure
was only about $1,000, or scarceley
more than third of what it was a
century ago. This extreme economy
was caused, of course, by the pressure
of the war indemnity. But since
1882 the treasury doors have been
flung wide open; and though business
depression prevails, and "hard times"
are universal in Paris and the pro-
yinces, the Government has for the
past four years been spending at the
enormous rate of $92, 800 per hour, or
nearly twice as much as the worst
Louis Napoleon was able to do. It is
explained that the Government is
making lavish expenditures in order
to give employment to as many
persons as possible, and thus allay
social and political discomfort.

The Photographs of Celebrities.


Divers photographers make the pictures
Of celebrities, as they are called, a spe-
cialty. They include in the word every
thing from leading statesman to bur
lesuue actress or q wandering cowboy.
They employ a number of agents to fire.
uuent hotels, theatres and other places Of
resort, and secure subjects of note. Not
infrequently they go considerable distance
out to sea to board an incoming steamer
and engage the faces Of distinguished
strangers. Actresses Of reputation, or OF
no reputation, if pretty, are eagerly
sought, and every inducementi is presented
for them to sit. They receive a number
of pictures gratis; often get commits
sion on rates; sometimes certain sum
in cash, they binding themselves not to
be copied by any rival establishment. II
the secrets of Photographic galleries
were diyulged, they would be very Gu
rious-occasionally startling.
In London some of the professional
beauties have handsome income from
the sales of their portraits. We have no
professional beauties off the stage, not
having achieved the absurdity and iEcon-
gruity of dealing in marketable articles
in private life. The photographs most in
demand are said to be those of pretty
actresses whose fair fame has been
smirched by public scandals. If these
are frequent and piquant enough, per
sonal beauty becomes unnecessary. But
an entirely proper woman Of the theatri-
cal profession must be very attractive OF
feature to be actively vendable. Few
but those in the trade have any under
standing of the enormous business done
in photographs of celebrities" espe-
cially of feminine characters, blazoned In
the community. The business is system
atized to a degree, and many of its de-
tails which are hidden reveal singular
traits of humanity, chiefly vanity, selfish
ness and avarice.-New York CONNER

passare From Louise AIichers Book.

In the mournful solitudes of the So
logne, under the dark frs i'll the desolate
forests, are monOtonOus pools as still as
mirrors, hardly troubled from time to time
with an air bubble, such as the fishes
make when they rise to breathe. The
water is opauqe-glaucous green, like the
Seine of an evening, when it draws you
to it. These small lakes are the leech
pools. Certain capitalists make millions
by feeding the leeches. 1t is so easy to
fatten them with living prey! Are there
not toothless dogs that are no longer good
for anything else? Are there not old
horses, worn out servants, with bones
jutting through the bristling hide? If
the skin is not salable, the blood can be
turned to some account. The beast is al
lowed to Craze in peace, and so put on q
few pounds of flesh. Then it is driven
into the pool, and it is high time for the
leeches They hang on to its legs, TANKS
and breast, and the livid water reddens
in places as if it were blossoming.-

And of rain drops turned to snow

Where found q heart III pain
Iwould give it peace again;
And the false should be the true

ChivaIry at The White Sulphur.

The young married beauty who filled
her slipper with champagne, ut the White
Sulphur, and gave it to a Baltimore gal
liant to drink, was Mt the Fifth Avenue
hotel the other day. She certainly is a
very pretty woman and wears q very
small slipper. The lady herself is a
Washingtonian, and the Five Points Sir
Walter Raleigh, who drank the wine
from the slipper, is q growing attorney
from Richmond.
The lady said she was sorry she did it
now, "but it was at champagne party,
and they were all excited with wine"
When some one asked her IL she re-
spected the young man for indulging in
such Babylonian politeness, she said:
"No, not at all. When I think of it
now, have an utter disgust for him. I
did not give him the slipper. 1t came of
accidentally, when the silly fellow seized
it, filled it with champagne and drank to
my health. ELI Perkins in Inter Ocean.

PETITION oFTHE wOMANs TEMPER
ANCE UNION FOR THE PROTECTION
OF WOMAN.

To the Senate and House Of Repre-
scntatiUeS:
The increasing and alarming FREE
quency of assaults upon women, and
the frightful indignitics to which
even little girls are subject, have be-
come the shame of our boasted civili-
zatiou. A study of the statutes has
revealed their utter failure to meet
the demands of that newly awakened
public sentiment Which requires bet
ter legal protection for womanhood
and girlhood.
Therefore we, woman of the state
of Minnesota, do most earnestly APP
peal to you to enact such statutes as
shall provide for the ade Iuate punish
ment OF crimes against woman and
girls. We ais" urge that the age ut
which girl can legally consent to
her own ruin he raised t" ut least eigh-
teen years; and we cali attention to
the disgraceful tact that protection OF
the person il not placed by our laws
upon SO high y plan As protection OF
| the purse.

Milk consumers will not derive
much comfort from the report OF State
Dairy Commissioner Rice, who says
that he has found the adulteration OF
the lacteal fluid to be "almost uni
versal." If the adulterators would
only guarantee to use nothing but
pure water, it would not be so bad; F.;
and it would seem that they might do
so, for outside the city limits Of st.
Paul the best of water is very cheap.
But they are generally very careless
and Indifferent about the matter.
There ought to be law compelling
all milk dealers to guarantee the
purity of their water.-Pioneer Press.

The Crown Prince In Paris.

A writer in London Truth relates that
when "Unser Fritz" was a guest at the
Tuileries during the exhibition Of 1887,
he wished to see the interior of the forts
around Paris. But as they were in .
miserable state of defense, it was ar
ranged to evade complying with his wish.
He, however, managed in this wise to do
without an order of admission: For some
mornings he made early excursions to
distant places, accompanied by French
aide-de-camp who was placed at his dis
posal. One morning ON his way to the
Bicetre asylum he said to the officer:
"What if we run up to the fort beside
itf' The aide-de-camp did not see the
harm, and took him not only into it but
into all on the south side of Paris. With
his well trained eye the crown prince
saw the military poverty Of the land and
the exact defensive capacities Of the line
Of forts-Chicago Times.

cinnati groceryman who wanted lot OF
cranberries and thought he could get
them cheap in little Kentucky town. To
this end he wrote to a customer ut the
place, requesting him to send 100
bushels of cranberries per Simmons
the name of his teamster. The writing
was so bad that the party to whom the
note was addressed could not make out
the word "cranberries" at all, but did
conclude that his correspondent wanted
100 bushels of persimmons, which were
at once gathered and forwarded, much
to the disgust Of the Cincinnati man.

He never knows one day what he will do
the next day, and for years past he has
simply taken advantage Of present cir
cumstances in directing the affairs of

his enemies, and profits by the malice of

The Queen Paws Her Postage.

We have been asked more than once
whether the queen pays postage like Or
dinary mortals. She does. Her majesty
gave up her privilege Of free postage, we
believe, when Rolwand Hills system was
introduced. So it is right that her nu-
merous correspondents should remember
that when their communications are not
prepaid the royal purse has to pay double
postage, just as the rest of us do. The
