Certain unterri fl ed Prohibition
orators, ministers and neWspa-
pPrs in Pennsylvania assert that
the recent awful disaster at
JOhnstOWn was due to the fact
JOhnstOwn was opposed to the
adopt on Of the pending consti-

this line Of argument is bad pol
icy on the part Of the Prohibit

PLANTING TREES.

Digging big holes for ees
should be unnecessary. Or.
Wardcr said that the hole for q
tree should be as large as the
orchard. This i, the best of
adv &c. 1t means that the
ground should all be well pre-
pared before u tree is put into
it. Then one needs to Il & only
far enough TO allow tie roots to
fall in easily. But the hole
must be big enough for the
roots. Do not twist or crowd
them; and here is where
the ordinary tree planter will
shirk. Before You know it he
will sick in @ tree with the ends
of the roots all but peeping
through the ground. "Don't tie
stingy with your holes" IS adj

OF all the cOncomitants or
consequences of the terrible
JOhnstown calamity is the state
inent made by correspondents
that the people of that desolat-
ed tOWn-SOlne OF them at least
have lost Their faith in God,
have thrown away or burned
their Bibles, have spurned the
ministrations Of their clergy,
openly avow the conviction of
hardened infidelity, and this,
because OF the cruelty OF be-
reavements, and because God
did not interpose by miracle 20
avert the catastrophe
We can very safely reach two
solutions for this condition.
Those who avow conclusions so
wild and irrational: are either
in the frenzy of grief, or under
the tension OF enormous mental
strain, or under the influence of
. shattered nervous system, or,
the faith they now reject and
repudiate never had strong hold
upon them.
We are glad to hope and be-
lieve that the alleged infidelity
is only temporary Authorization.

An Art Criticism.

Bonnat, the great French palnter-nota-
bly, in portraiture-was interviewed last
month by Theodore Stanton for the Chi
cago Inter- Ocean. In the interview occurs
this capital witty criticism: What do
think of the impressionist school? 1t is
composed Of men who know nothing, and
who try to convince the world at large
that they have discovered something"
There never was fairer hit Some work
of that order was exhibited at the last
State Fair in Sacramento, and no one who
then examined it has yet been able to say
whether the pictures were hung top side
down or whether the Trainer had not made
mistake and framed blotched canvas or
a splatter cloth.
Bonnat made this severe criticism on
our English speaking cousins:
"As to the English, | confess | am I'M
able to understand the decadence of Eng
! lish art in the presence Of the numerous
and noble private collections for which
England is justly famous. | am myself
something of an art collector, and when
ever there is an important sale of paint
ings, or of drawings advertised at Chris
ties, always make point of attending
