Railroads Should Plant Trees.

r rom OuiluE-I
What objection can there be to COM
polling either by state or national leg
islation, every railroad company in
the Union to plant trees forty feet
apart on the outer limits, either side
OF it's tracks, of it's right OF way? And
the law may prescribe that the trees
planted shall be of useful varieties,
adapted to the soil and climate which
the road traverses? Andis it no. fair
that these great consumers should be
made also restorers of forests? Can
not this law be made iustifiable on
sanitary grounds, on the highest rea-
son for all law-the public welfare, the
greatest good to the greatest number
Having such a law faithfully admins
tered for fifty years-even for half that
period-and the tourist by rail shall

VanderbiIt's Fortune in Silver.

Reducing the Vanderbilt estate to
the beloved silver dollar, the New York
Times resolves it into this form: Put
lengthwise dollar after dollar it would
stretch distance of 4, 672 miles, max
ing a silver streak from New York
across the ocean to Liverpool. Piled
up, dollar on dollar, it would reach a
height OF 355 miles. Laid fiat on the
ground, the dollars would cover a
space ofnearly sixty acres. Theweight
of this mass of silver would lie 7,16O
tons. To transport it would require
35S cars, carrying twenty tons each
(this is the capacity of the strongest
freight cars) and making a train Just
about two and one-half miles long.
On ordinary grades it would require
twelve locomotives to haul this train.
On roads of steep grades and sharp
curves, fifteen or twenty locomotives
would be needed.

Don't Work Too Hard

Farmers wives as a general thing
work entirely too hard. Let them mod
crate their labors to incorporation Of
their strength, and even ii help has to
be obtained to make up the deficit, it
were surely better than to wear out
prematurely from exposure and over
work, and leave your children at a
tender age without q mothers care.
A good woman with good husband,
can be happier nowhere than on q
farm; bat let not a sense OF duty in
the one, nor a false economy in the
other, deprive the wife of all needed
assistance. 1t is far better to enjoy
life in old age with your children than
to have shaved through life to leave
them fortune, while you lay down in
premature grave, ere life's great tasks
be fully done. Let the duties and re-
sponsibilities usually devolved upon
farmers wives be lessened, and furnish
abundant help FOR the work to be
done.

Care of Stock.

The fact that stock which Is not
prospecting is just machinery for the
destruction of farm produce ought to
startle many man who Will read
these words. Let him remember, too,
that all live stock are inevitable ma
chimes for destroying certain portion
daily, which is as directly daily wasted
and burned upon every animal that
feeds, as if 1t had been put on ire.
How much greater the premium, then,
in keeping cattle whose fattening Is
done in a lifetime OF seven hundred
days, than on keeping those whose
fattening requires 200 days or more.
The wedding of the flock and herd upon
a farm is part OF live stock manage
ment which needs as much prompt
tude and decision as wedding of our
crops and fields.

Fear and Disease.
from the YOUTHS Communion.

IRON the Youth 6 companion.
Some emotions accelerate the heart,
quicken the action of the brain, give
new strength and elasticity to the
step, and greatly enliven the spirits
the effect being of brief duration. 9th
ers, like hope, for instance, have
similar effect much lower in degree,
but much more prolonged. Still 9th
ers have an opposite effect
Among the last is fear. Many cases
are on record in which it has resulted
in sudden death. Under its influence,
as is well known, the face often be-
comes pale, the heart beats violently,
the breath is INSTRUCTED, the limbs
tremble, the appetite is lost, and all
other emotions are overcome.
We speak of the man as paralyzed
with fear. There is literal truth in
this. The effect is due to the influence
of the emotion on some one of the
cerebral Centers-the ganglia, or nerve
masses, near the base of the brain,
which govern the action of the vari-
Gus vital organs. The influence is.
for the time, of a paralvzing nature.
Hence the capillary blood-vessels
near the surface are collapsed, and the
blood is driven back on the heart,
burdening both it and the lungs;
while the secretion OF the gastric Juice
is arrested by paralysis of the great
nerVe-the pneumOgastrlC-w sup
plies the stomach with its working
| force. Such a case Is an extreme one,
| but it is the same in kind with fear in
every degree. 1t lowers the tone OF
the system. 1t lessons the vitality
Even this condition is diseased one,
and if protracted, the system would,
sooner or later, give way under it.
But the particular point we wish to
make is that fear exposes even the
most robust to the attacks of infec-
tious diseases. The diseases are
caused by minute organisms which en-.
ter the body through the stomach or
the lungs. They may be harmless, if
the stomach digests them, of if the
body has its full power OF resistance
to injection.
But Just here is the danger from fear
it lessons the normal resistance of
the system, and especially arrests the
power OF the stomach to secrete the
gastric fluid. 1t puts the system, for
the time being, where it is left 10y de-
bilitating diseases, by drinking habits,
by over-eating, by excuses, by too
continuous watching, or by anxious
worry.
Ii, therefore, the cholera invades
America, or smallpox prevails, don't
let us invite an attack by fear; but
repel it by keeping about our daily vo-
cations with cheerful trust and a
hand OF help for others-having, of
course, done our whole duty in the
matter OF hygiene.

Bogus Butter Funds.

There are more frauds in the manu-
facture and sale OF artificial substi-
tutes for butter than would appear at
first sight: Branding the stuff as
creamery" or "dairy" and selling it
as pure butter, are only part of the
receptions attending this traffic. At
the recent Dairymen's Convention in
Chicago, the butterine makers declared
that their product consisted wholly of
the purest leaf lard or suet fat, added
to certain proportion ofpure butter,
the whole being churned together in
sweet milk. If all these claims were
true, it would still be a swindle to
brand and sell thestuff as butter. But
there Is presumptive evidence that
such assertions are generally untrue

trade gives weekly quotations of "oleo
