Arbor day in California were not present,
nor the ladies. The ceremonies this time
were brief and sober. But the cross the
Arbor Day cross, was set up Just the same
children of San Francisco and Oakland who
had helped set it up on the island that
swelteriDg hot day in November
1t is the right of those children and the
right Of all who took part or interest in that
tree-planting to know that their Greek cross
OF California's Arbor day has f1Ourished.
Some of those children must be very strong
and tall by this time, for it was five years
ago: but there Is not one of them all so
strong and tall as some Of those trees now.
You can see those trees forming the cross
all the way from the higher streets of San
Francisco on day of singular clearness.
and here Is photograph of them.
You see that the idea did not perish IL the
trees did perish on the island; SO nothing
is lost: although it is indeed pity that Ii
should lie there idle and be only black
ened ruin all these years.
So. ideas like this do not perish. They
are in the line of creation; part Of the
third day. "And God saw that it was
good"
Letters have come from every State
in the Union on the subject; the idea
is vital and 1t is aggressive. School-ebldren
all over this State of ours have their days
and celebrations of G0d's third day OF
creation. 1t was only few months
ago that l went down to San Diego. the
city of palms. and helped Harr Wagner
and Madge Morris, who did so much
toward helping US here, to direct and en-
courage the children in planting trees there.
Oh. the health, the clean toll. the instruc-
ton. the useful education, the solid good
there is in trying to restore mother earth to
her primeval beauty, as when God gave her
to man ''for an inheritance"
Meantime, let Inc say to the children, the
founders of California ArbOr day that fhia
cross OF theirs near Oakland. which can
now be seen so far. shall not perish. Al
though, one by one, we the planters of it
shall, one after enc, follow on after the
way that good old General Vallejo has
gone to the other side OF darkness, one Of the
planters of the cross has pitched his tent
under it and tends it carefully. Anu when
he is gone it will be left to the children, the
school-children of the two cities, perpetualIy.
Only let US plant and plant and plant The
preservation of this nation, of the earth,
depends on the preservation of the trees.

Big Farms in tho Northwest.

Senator Casey of North Dakota has 5000
acres under cultivation. The Dalrymple
farm In Dakota contains $4,000 acres. 1t is
q genuine farm under perfect cultivation,
and yields heavy income. In the Red
River Valley lies the great Grandin farm.
Here are found $4,000 acres under cultiva-
ton, and In the last ten years it has yielded
profit Of $4S0,000.
Farms ranging from 1000 to 5000 acres are
not uncommon in the West. They repre-
sent the modern feudal estate without the
feudalism of baronial times. A small army
of helpers are engaged In working agricul-
steam. Senator Casey boasts that ne can
plant $50 acres OF wheat per day with his
drilling machines. and the Dalrymples have
machine which thrashes from 1900 to 200G

potential history has had its origin as

In every direction from Windsor the eye
falls upon meadows like lawns. great
parks and forests of gigantic oaks and
yews. You can count nearly 100 seats oil the
gentry and nobility from where you stand
on the tower. lnterspersed are the
quaintest of Old World villages, primitive

GRAND FALLS OF LABRADOR.
They Are but Slightly Inferior to the
Cataract of Niagara.


Henry q, Bryant. In the September Century.
The Grand Falls OF Labrador are nearly
twice as high as Niagara. and are inferior
to that marvellous cataract In breadth and
volume of water only. One of their most
striking characteristics Is the astonishing
leap into space which the torrent makes in
discharging itself over its rocky barrier.
From the description given OF the rapid
drop In the river-bed and the coincident
narrowing Of the channel, one can easily
understand that the cumulative energy ex-
pended in this final leap of the pent-up
waters lie truly titanic. If a substratum OF
softer rock existed here. as at Niagara. a
similar "Cave of the Winds would enable
one to penetrate considerable distance be-
meath the fall The uniform structure of
the rock, however, prevents any unequal
disintegration, and thus the overarching
sheet of water covers nearly perpendicu-
lar wall, the base OF which is washed by
the waters of the lower river. In spite of the
fact that no creature. except one with
wings, could hope to penetrate this SUBJ
aqueous chamber, the place is inhabited,
il we are to believe the traditions of the
Lai,. .uior Indians. Many years ago, so runs
the tale. two Indian maidens gathering fire.
wood near the falls were enticed to the
brink and drawn over by the evil spirit of
the place. During the long years since
then, these unfortunates have been con-
demned to dwell beneath the fall, and forced
to toll daily, dressing deerskins. until now,
no longer young and beautiful, they can be
seen betimes through themist, trailing their
white hair behind them and stretching out
shriveled arms toward any mortal who
ventures to visit the confines of their mystic
dwelling place. The Indian name for the
Grand es-che-wan--means THE
Narrow Placs Where the Water Falls"
Like the native word Niagara-"Thu
Of Waters"-this Indian designation con-
tains poetic and descriptive quality which
1t would be hard to improve.
From the point where the river leaves
the plateau and plunges into the deep pool
below the falls. its course for twenty-five
miles Is through one of the most remarkable
canyons In the world. From the appearance

The Efficient Left Hand.

Left-handers are notably of more
than the average strength and much
more than the average accuracy of the
eye. Leonardo da VinCi and Hans
Holbein were left-handed. Lcft-handed
batsmen are noted for hitting, left
handed fielders for smartness and left
handed bowlers are generally fast. We
know a gentleman, not q straight bat,
whose back-play is perpetual source
of astonishment to the spectators.
But now comes in factor of unknown
quantity. One would think that
where conventional usage has obtained
from the left-handed one particular
set Of motions for the right hand it
would be one requiring but average
skill. But is this SOP The three arts
of cricket are distributed among left
handed people in the most arbitrary
and apparently inconsistent manner;
most of them bat left-handed, but
many bowl with the right, and some
bat with the right and bowl with the
left. No doubt it would be found
that, on the whole, those actions re-
quiring the utmost nicely and the
greatest accord between eye and limb
are allotted to the superior hand;
again, spontaneous gestures and I'M
studied actions would also be per-
formed by the same hand.
1t is remarkable that with the ma
jority of people the neglected left hand
is not in mere strength inferior to the
right. We have heard truly right
handed people actually declare that
their left hand is the stronger, and
from the present writer's own expe-
rience he knows this to be the case.
This may be from the mechanical adj
vantage and better balance of the
body, the right side being heavier, or
it may be due to the large muscles Of
the unused arm being less hampered
by the development of other muscles.
1t is difficult in these cases to say
which is the fright" hand, for the fact
that the unused arm is the stronger
does not imply ambideZterity, nor can
we justly give the precedence to
strength over dexterity.-BoStora Trans
