TREES FOR SHADE.
Varieties Adapted for Planting Along Pub
lie Highways.

Varieties Adapted for Planting Along Pub
lie Highways.
It is as essential to use only such as
are adapted for creating desired eff
fects, as to choose fruit trees best
suited to our particular location. The
bic nding of fruit and shade trees on
lawn or street is a mistaken ATTEMPT to
combine utility and ornament What
is needed for an avenue is shade, pleas
ing outline and color. Hardness is
essential, of course. and freedom from
injurious insects and destructive dis
eases. The tendency to form IN open
top or bullying base, as i'll the silver
maple, is IN obvious objection. Again,
there are trees, such rs Norway maple,
which show decided inclination to
droop with age; and no species or va
riety with a dropping habit should be
employed for any street or avenue. As
rule, large foliage is preferable to
small, as the former shows tendency
to cast n denser shade and creates IL
more pleasing effect when in long lines.
Rapidity of growth is important to
avenue trees, although not indispensa-
BILE. Trees which develop quickly are
apt to be open in construction, and
therefore need the pruner's art to as
sist in forming Il more compact head.
American linden. silver-leaf maple,
Carolina poplar (so-called). salisburia.
etc, are examples of this class. On
the other hand. such medium growers
rs sugar maple, the beeches. oaks, and
some others. do not require cutting
back to produce density. but only an
occasional nipping of some too vigor-
Gus branch.
For long line of trees in an en-
closed area, two distinct species may
be used, but in such cases it may be
we'll to select those affording a decided
contrast in form and color. This,
however, is dangerous ground, and
should be well considered before select
ing the kinds. Norway NAPLES and
hemlock spruces arranged alternately
will prove very attractive; or purple
beech and sugar NAPLES contrast well.
The lar9e-leaved trees. such as mag
nolias, work in we'll with the elms; and
such conical forms as Nordmann's fir
or Oriental spruce answer to plant with
round-headed species like horsechest-
nuts. Still, it is questionable whether
more than one species planted together
will give entire satisfaction: perhaps
the majority of land scape gardeners
would decide against the combination.
The general idea of an avenue is uni
formity, and any thing that detracts
from this is detrimental to the effect,
no matter whether it be size. form,
color, or growth. No better evidence
of careful selection can be advanced
than most town streets afford where
the owners have very different ideas of
fitness. For the public highway "a good
selection would be American and silver
leaved lindens; sugar maple; white,
swamp-white. willow. scarlet and red
oak; Carolina poplar; Oriental sycamore
and American elm. Josiah Hopes, in

a WONDROUS GROWTH.
The Commercial Importance of the Ma
tion's Telegraph Systems.


tons Telegraph Systems.
Each of the great departments of
electrical application has its own in
teresting story or pertinent moral, and
each is a typical exemplification of the
rapidity with which, in America. the
visionary idea of one hour becomes
the prosaic reality of the next. The
telegraph was the first of the great
electrical successes, and is an old friend
of the present generation. Its ten
word tariff has introduced into popu-
lar and business phraseology terse-
ness the furthest removed from gram
mar and elegance. 1t is prime agent
in stock-jobbing operations and the
ready ally of the detective bureau. 1t
is the mainstay of the daily press,
whose columns it half fills. It's wires
have long been among the strongest
ligatures that can unite nation so
widely distributed from sea to sea as
ours. 1t has profoundly affected inter-
national relations. provoking from
Prince Bismarck the odd complaint that
diplomacy has. therefore, ceased to be
unctuous. Fit expression, as it is, of
this fussy. alert, inquisitive and in
tense age, it has become hackneyed
and commonplace. Yet it has been in
use bare fifty years, for it was only
in january, 1888. that Professor Morse
completed his rough operative model
of the recording electromagnetic tele-
graph, and exhibited it in this city.
Early associates of Morse are still liv-
ing who helped him string his primi-
tive land lines. while Mr.. Cyrus Field
recalls easily, across a scant quarter of
a century, the vivid memories of the
failure of the first cables, when hope
and funds were both exhausted, and
DIR. Holmes apostrophized in caustic
verse the mythical De Sauty, who in
sisted throughout that every thing was
'.all right when there was a we'll
founded suspicion that something
was very decidedly wrong. At the
present time a dozen cables span

POULTRY MANAGEMENT.
Valuable Suggestions Furnished - Noted
English Expert.


EnglIsh Expert.
Mr.. William II. Goodwin, a well
known contributor to English poultry
literature, in an address at Harg, En-
gland, on the keeping of poultry in re-
gard to essentials, held that proper
management was almost as important
AS breeding. The essentials were
shelter, warmth and ventilation, not
more than sixty heal being placed to-
gether. Nests should be placed on the
ground, with not more than eleven
eggs under each hen. A little flower
of sulphur should be scattered in the
straw of the nest to keep away insects.
Pip, or true gapes in chickens, could
be cured by amounting the heads and
necks of the chickens after Matching
with common vaseline, of which ONE
ounce would do hundred chickens.
He had reared thousands by using this
simple remedy, and had never known
it to fail. When ready for the coop,
the chickens should be given some
pulverized oyster shells, and after that
their food should consist of greats or
canary seed, alternated with soft
biscuit food. Later OH they should be
given small wheat and cracked Indian
corn, and then whole corn alone. /.
Buckwheat, oats, wheat and barley
should then be the food. and heavy
birds should not have Indian corn,
except in very cold weather. as
it interferes with their laying
properties. Fowls should have perfect
liberty and sufficiency of clean water
in iron or earthenware (not Zinc) YES
sells; and flower of sulphur must not
be strewn in the laying nests for fear
of giving the eggs bad flavor. The
walls of the fowl-hOuse should be
washed with hot lime and a little car
bOlic acid. and the perches should be
treated twice a year with mixture OF
paraffin and animal oil in order to kill
the insects that sometimes harbOred
there. Peat moss was a good thing to
put under the roosts. and it would also
serve as dust bath for the fowls. 1t
deodorized the manure, and was also
valuable for potting purposes. whilst If
| eggs were dropped on it during the
night they were seldom broken. The
perches should be about three feet six
inches, or four feet high, not too small.
whilst the bark should be stripped on,
because it harbOrs insects.
Another important point to be at
tended to was the provision of proper
| AMOUNT of grit for the fowls In the
bodies of eighteen fowls he had found
altogether a pound of grit, including
bits of coal. glass. brick and broken
fower-pots, and he supplied his own
fowls with pieces of broken bricks and
stones broken up in a mortar mill ls
was calculated that the amount OF grit
picked up by thirty-five or forty fowls

Mons. Flandreau, a merchant of
Marseilles. left home on the morning
morning of May 5. 1864. for Castellane.
attended to considerable mercantile
business. and departed for home. He
was never seen alive again. His body
was found two days later on the road
between Castellane and Aups. and at
first it was supposed he must have fall
en- there and died in fit, as no marks
of violence could be found upon him.
His pockets We're rifed, however.
No sooner had the excitement of the
mysterious death of the merchant be-
gun to subside when three deaths re-
suited on the road in the same strange
manner. No marks of ill-usage had
been found upon any of them; but all
had been robbed.
By this time public excitement was
intense, and the Project of Digne be-
thought himself that immediate and eff
fective steps to discover the weird
causes were necessary, lest general
condemnation should fall upon his Off
eial head.
At this interesting point of affairs
the last named officer sent for Il noted
rogue catcher named Bressart, who had
won considerable renown in the De-
partmcnt of the Lower Alps. Arriving.
and being informed of the state of
things, Bressart asked if most of the
victims had not stopped at Castellane.
Receiving an answer in the affirmative,
the detective said:
Then they must put up at some inn
there?"
YES" answered the Project
Catching Bressart's meaning, the
magistrate stated that the landlords
had been narrowly watched. and no
shadow of evidence rested against
them.
But persisted the detective, ..is
there not some poison in this matterp
Some inn-keeper may administer the
poison and then send an accomplish
after the victim.''
This supposition would not hold, as
experienced physicians lad examined
the stomachs of the victimI out nc
trace of poison had been found.
Bressart was forthwith ordered 80 90
at once to Castellane and secure such

feet there could give.

detective. mounting his horse, set out
