FOREST DESTRUCTION.
Evils of Differentiation Seen on the Once
Fertile Plains of Spain.

Oh spain.
The evils of deforestation have been
so many times rehearsed that it is only
necessary to mention them briefly here.
Trees are necessary in the hills and
mountains to perfect the springs and in
sure a steady supply of water through
out the year. If all the trees about
sources of the springs are cut away the
springs flow but a short time after the
winter rains cease. In early summer
they have disappeared entirely, and
with them the small brooks they have
fed, and which were wont to supply the
creeks and rivers now either greatly re-
duced in volume or vanished. Conse-
quently drought. poverty and suffering
from fine agricultural possibilities
ruined with soil deprived of its needed
moisture. There is another evil scarce
" less serious. This results from the
foundations which almost annually
devastate those parts of Europe which
in the long course of ages has been
gradually denuded of their forest with
little or no effort at renewal. Spain
has in this respect been the worst suffer
er. Except in certain favored local
tiles, principally along or not far from
the southern base of the Pyrenees. or
along the Mediterranean. it may be
described as an absolutely tree
less country. its vast olive or
chards atfording here and there partial
exception. One may travel by train for
days here and there over the great CEN
trail plateau, which constitutes the
greater part of the peninsula, and
scarcely see a tree, not even an olive,
on the plain, and not grove on hill
or mountain side. Such desolation
seems appalling. As IA natural con-
sequence, the rams that fall, not being
detained by groups or forests of trees,
run off at once into the valleys. where
they swell the creeks and rivers to
enormous volume and cause those
frightful foundations which two or three
times every year form the burden of
Spanish dispatches and deplete the
purses of the benevolent in every part
of the world In Austria, Hungary
and in different parts of Germany, there
are similar experiences. with meal
culable loss Of property and loss of life,
and to a certain extent in France and
Italy, though the two latter countries
find remedy in the universal dissemina-
ton of the olive and vine, one or the
other of which clothes. and TO a great

COUNTRY CEMETERIES.
Why They Should Lose Their Old Charac-
ter of Horror and Repugnance.
In single verse Whittier has well
described the old-fashioned country

church-yard:
"a winding wall of messy stone
Frost flung and broken, lines
lonesome acre thinly grown
With grass and wandering vines"
Who has not seen these dreary. dis
NAL places? The grass grows out over
the walks; blackberry vines climb
over the graves; few bushes lean over
the wall. Through the broken gate the
sheep come at viii. a few wild flowers
struggle through the tall grass as
through ashamed to show themselves to
the sun. Now and then some mourner
cuts the grass from a few graves, or
some member of the district takes the
contract for moving the whole yard for
the sake of the hay. Careless feet go
tramping over the graves. the frost
throws the grave-stones out of line and
the moss creep over the letters. 1t
seems as though our ancestors wished to
make death appear as dismal and horri-
bic as possible There is no reason why
this feeling should continue. Flowers,
trees, shrubs and clean-kept graves add
much to the beauty of the graveyard.
and take nothing from the sacredness
of the place. In fact they add to it:
their beauty gives a feeling of rest to
the mind, thought that our friends are
resting in peace. Decoration Day has
done much to improve our country
grave-yards. The graves of the soldiers
are always trimmed and beautified, and
the crowds that annually come to wit
ness the ceremony have taught the
owners of grave lots a certain pride.
The graveyard should lose its old look
of horror and repugnance- Each neigh
borhood should combine to take
measures for identifying the place.
We do not believe in erecting costly
monuments TO the memory of the dead,
but we believe the harsh and ugly
features that SO often characterize their
resting places should be removed
