The Arrangement of Trees on Coun-
try Places.


On plantations depends largely the sue
cessful composition and coloring of coun-
try place. The first thing to consider
before you begin to plant is the adjustment
Of your views, vistas, or outlooks. Ordi-
narily, except where you require for some
reason a special outlook, the entire outside
border of the place should be planted with
a mass of trees and shrubs, making hedge
of irregular, waving lines. Ordinarily, too,
there should be something like seven shrubs
to every tree, the shrubs standing eight or
tn feet apart and the trees forty to fifty
feet. This rule applies, of course, to only
large growing shrubs; the smaller ones can
be tucked in round about. 1t is an excel
lent plan to establish a lofty tree, like the
elm, tulip, or poplar, at each marked angle
of the place and at either side of the car
riage entrance. 1t tends to give character
to the entire lawn. If you have room
enough, one of the ways of emphasizing
certain interesting parts of your country
place, and especially the pleasant home
character of the house, is to establish a
grove near that building. Set out the best
shade trees-elms, naples, beeches. tulin
trees, liquid ambars, aud Understand let
them stand forty or fifty feet apart, so that
they may grow into broad and lofty trees.
dispensing abundant shade Such a grove
near the house will give perpetual delight
throughout the year. Even in winter,
during snow and ice-storms, you will find
unfailing pleasure in contemplating the
unexpected and magical effects of snow and
ice in your grove, and moreover find com
fort in seeking its protecting shelter if you
have planted a few pines in the midst.
Planting groves means to many people
simply the setting out of cluster of trees
eight or ten feet apart and allowing
them to slowly crowd each other to death.
Properly managed, the grove may be the
most delightful and admirable feature of
all country places, except the smallest, and
even there one great elm or beech may be
a grove in itself
In adjusting the vistas by means of your
planting, you should see that the longest
lines Of view are secured, Let them cx-
tend diagonally from corner to corner of
your place, if you can.

Effect of the Gulf Stream.

John Elliott PilIsbury in February Century.
The question it often asked, To what ex-
tent does the Gulf Stream modify the eli
mate of the United States? To irs sup
| posed erratic movements is laid the blame of
every abnormal season. There is every ev-
idence that the Gulf Stream is governed alb
solutely by law in all its changes. The
course through the ocean is without doubt
fixed. Its fluctuations are by days, by
months, by seasons, or by years, and they
do not vary materially one from the other.
Its temperature changes, depending upon
the relative heat of the tropical and polar
seasons, and upon the strength of the pro-
ducing tradewinds. The warm water may
be driven toward the shore by the waves
caused by favorable wind, but the current
remains in its proper place. The warm
water gives off certain amount of heat to
the air above it. and if this air is moved to
the land we feel the heat. The presence
of the warm water on the coast of Europe
would in no way modify the climate if the
prevailing winds were easterly instead of
westerly. If the prevailing winds in New
England in winter were southeast instead
of northwest, the climate would be equal to
that of the Azores Islands, mild and balmy
For the cause of abnormal seasons we may
look to meteorology. The current is in its
place ready to give off the heat and mois-
ture to the air whenever the demand is
made upon it, but by the erratic movement
of the air this heat and moisture may be de-
livered at unexpected times and seasons,
and thus give rise to the erroneous belief
that the Gulf Stream itself has gone astray.
Even those who navigate its water do
not fully realize the strength of its current.
Two or three years ago government YES
sci was anchored in the Stream observing
the current. The wind was very light
when a sailing vessel was sighted ahead.
drifting to the northward, As she came
nearer it became evident that there would
be collision unless steps we're taken to
prevent it. The crew of the sailing vessel
trimmed their sails to the gentle air; but it
was useless, for onward she went, carried
by the irresistible force of the current d.
rectly toward the bow of the steamer. As
the vessels approached each other, by
skillful use of the rudder on board the
steamer she was moved to one side, and the
sailing vessel drifted past few feet distant.
The captain of the latter was as astonished
as he was thankful that his vessel was not
lost. All that he could cry out in broken
English as he flashed by was, II could not
help it; the water bring me here.

A Mule Breeder on Mules.
Nebraska Farmer.

-NSoAes9ho
1t is very significant fact that the best
places TO find expensive, good mules are
those celebrated for the production of good
horses. In all probability, mule breeding
pays better than horse breeding; the young
mule requires less tronble to raise and
brings q higher price, The mule is a
beast of burden and nothing more. They
are sure footed and have strong limbs and
hard hoofs, which do not like those of a
horse, dry up under the influence of heat,
and quick, solid step. Mules step longer
than the horse, and have remarkable
power of going up and down steep places
and of cleverly turning sharp coEaers, sure
on the worst of roads, quiet, easy to please
as regards food, tolerant of heat and thirst,
requiring drink less often and in less
amount than the horse, more intelligent
than usually given credit for aud suscepti-
BILE of attachment and amenable to good
treatment, He is model animal of trans
port. He can be ridden, driven or used
for pack purposes, gives but little trouble
over shoeing and may be left unshod,
behind especially, for long time without
detriment.
The mule is rather choice in his selec-
ton of water, and moist, cold weather is
unsuited to him. Though he exhibits a
notable freedom from disease, he suffers
severely from specific affections. He in
herits the sobriety, patience, endurance
and surefootedness of the jack, and the
vigor, strength and courage of the horse.
Making allowance for size, he carries one
third more weight than the horse, hence is
essentially pack animal

The Hours Doctors Work.
From the London Hospital.


The doctors calling looks very different
inside from what it does outside. A great
many medical men refuse on any condition to
put their sons into medicine. They have
found the profession an occupation of un-
eeasing, harassing and responsible work
with poor pay. 1t must be admitted that
the general practitioner in third rate
neighborhOod has but melancholy time of
it.
An eight hours working day would be
almost a heaven for them. A sixteen
hours day is very common experience.
Many doctor who works sixteen hours a
day and has two or three disturbed nights
week into the bargain nevertheless soon
learns to think himself very lucky if not more
than 20 per cent. of his hard earnings is
lost in bad debts.

Effect of Sun and Moon on Edged
Tools.
From iron.

1t is not generally known that the lighh
of the sun and the moon exercises dele
terious effect on edged tools Knives, drills,
scythes and sickles assume a blue color if
they are exposed for some tire to the light
and heat of the sun, the sharp edge disap-
pears, and the tool is rendered absolutely
useless until it is retempered. Purchasers
should therefore be on their guard against
buying tools from retail dealers and ped
dlers which, for show purposes, have prob
ably been exposed for days together to the
glare of the sun.
The observation-disclosures of tools acquired
under these conditions is generally wrongly
attributed to bad material or to inferior
workmanship. A similarly preludicial eff
feet has been exercised By moonlight. An.
ordinary crosscut saw is asserted to have
been put oat of shape in single night by
exposure to the moon.

And 10!

The flowers began to grow,
Grass, leaves, and everything,
As if the green world heard
The trumpet of his tiny throat
From end to end, and winter and despair
Fled at his melody, and passed in air.
heard at dawn the music of voice
o my beloved, then said, the spring
Can visit only once the waiting year;
The bird can bring
Only the seasons song, nor his the choice
To waken smiles or the remembering tear
But thou dost bring
Springtime to every day and at thy call
The flowers oflfe unfold though leaves Of autumn
