The Agricultural Society's ~Ploughing Match
was held at the Belle on the oath June. The
weather, says the Journal, was all that could
be desired for planters and ducks, but GER
tainly from the showman's point of view
the whole thing was a washed out failure,
nobody present except the officials of the
Society and q bold pedestrian here and there,
tramping through the mud to behold and
admire the shivering ANIMALS. The fat and
pampered oxen seemed to long, with all the
longing of their big eyes, for the warm quar-
ters from which they had been so ruthlessly
torn.

Search for Civilization.

The Russian Government some tiule
ago decided to make some admins
trative and educational reforms in
Asiatic Russia, and, with view to pro
ceeding intelligently, sent to it's officials
in Siberia interrogatory circular letters
of considerable minuteness. The pre-
siding officer in the district AkmolinsL
was asked, with tho others, as to the
progress of civilization in the region he
had the honor to superintend He re-
tnrned this answer which was pub
lished recently in the Siberian Messen.
ger: ''The civilization is not to be
found in the territory under nay super
vision 1t may have withdrawn to the
Chinese border, although can not say
to certainty. The Governor, how
ever, has sent out two Cossack horse.
men to look it up. and they may have
found it at the present writing" In-re-
Spouse to the emphatic and rather un.
complimentary comments of the st.
Petersburg office on this remarkable
statement, the Akmolinsk official ex.
planned that he thought that by ''civ.
ilization" the Government had meant
an obscure tribe of Kirgeez, and that,
acting in accordance with this belief,
he had instituted the search mentioned
in his first answer.

TREES Held 70 BE sAcREo Il.
The Date, tho Oak, the Ash and the
$@ Legends Concerning Them. '

The Date, tho Oak, the Ash And tho
Legends Concerning Them.
The palm, the oak and the ash are,
according to timely and interesting
article in the June number 81. the
Deutsche Rundschau, the three trees
which, since time immemOrial were
| held to be sacred trees. The first among
them which figures on the oldest ponn-
| ments and pictures of the Egyptians
and Assyrians is the date palm home
| tan. Tradition of a later period says
| that when Adam left Paradise he was
allowed to take with him three things
myrtle, because it was the most love-
| " and most scented flower on earth;
wheat ear, because it had the most
nourishment, and date, because it was
| the most glorious fruit of the earth.
! The date from Paradise was in some
marvellous way brought to the Dejaz.
From it have come ali the date palms in
the world, and Allah destined it to be
the food of all true believers, who shall
conquer every country where the date
palm grows.
The oak was always considered q
holy tree by our ancestors and, above
all. bv the nations of the north OF
Europe. When Winnifred, of Devon
shire (eso-754 A. d., went forth on his
wanderings through Germany to preach
the Gospel one Of his first actions was
to cut down the giant oak in saxony,
which was dedicated to Thor and
worshiped by the people from far and
near. But when he had nearly feiled
the oak and while the people were ours
inc and threatening the saint a snper.
natural storm swept over it, seized the
summit, broke every branch and dashed
it, quasi supe1,ni, motus. solaris, with g.
tremendous crash to the ground. The
heathens acknowledged the marvel and
many of them were converted there and
then. But the saint built chapel of
the wood of this very oak and dedicated
it to St. Peter.
The Celts and Germans and Scandi"
navians again, worshiped the mount
ain ash, and it is especially in the re-
ligious myths OF the latter that this
'Askr Yggdrasil" plays a prominent
part To them it was the hottest among
trees, the world tree" which, eternal
1y young and dewy, represented Heaven,
earth and hell. According to the Edda
the ash yggelrasil was an evergreen
tree. specimen of it (says Adam, OF
Bre1nen,) grew at Upsala, in front OF
the great temple, and another in Dith~
marschen, carefully guarded by. rail"
ing, for it was, in a mythical way. con-
nected with the fate of the country.
When Dith1narschen lost it's liberty the
tree withered, but 81 magpie, one Of the
best prophesying birds of the North,
came and built it's nest on the withered
tree and Matched five little ones, all
perfectly white, as a. sign that at some
future time the country would regain
it's former liberty.
