Fodder from Trees.


Farmers and all those who have rca-
son to dread the i'll effects of prolonged
(lrouth on their cattle will welcome
the recent demonstrations Of NJ Girard
nourishing quality Of tree leaves as cat
tie fodder. Careful analysis enabled
NJ Girard to declare that the leaves
of trees as compared with other fod-
ders show a high nourishing ratio,
whether fresh or dried. In his opinion
leaves are not surpassed as fodder by
the products of natural prairies or pas
turc lands. These conclusions, based
IN chemical analysis, have been amply
,onfOrmed by experiments as to the di-
gestibility Of tree leaves when given
IS food to cattle. NJ. Girafd says that
good crops Of leaf fodder could be ga
thered without in any way DANA ing
forests by arresting timber growth,
provided that the gathering Of the
leaves be carried on judiciously, so as
not to deprive the trees Of the nee
assary mouths and lungs 1t has
been suggested that the use of leaf fod-
Ter would prove a source of wealth
to countries having poor soil or arid
climate In some of the West Indian
stands large numbers of cattle are
Kept alive through periods Of severe
brought, when no other fodder is avail
able by the leaves Of fosest trees The
foliage of some Of these trees is both
nutritious and stimulating, and is said
% be equal in work-producing qualities
notably in the case of the bread
1uttre-to Indian corn. NJ. Girarl's
views have been freely canvassed in
England, where it is believed the use
If leaves as cattle food during dry
weather spells would help the badly
distressed farmers to tide over times Of
scarcity. so that they would not be
compelled to sell live stock at ruinously
ow prices, owing to want Of pasture
fodder.

Ristics and General Beilmark Oyice. the
regents, and all the ministers Of state were
present, as were also large number Of the
friends aud supporters Of the government.
FOR many months past the situation In Seryia
has been critical, owing to the abuse of their
power by the regents aud state officials. AZ
fairs had become SO bad that the king deter
mined to take the reins In his own hands. In
accordance with this determination, plans
were secretly laid, by means of which the re-
gents and the ministry would be ousted with
out opportunity for opposition. Soldiers
we're sent to secure the government buildings,
and In the midst Of the feast Alexander an-
nouneed that he was of age and would rule
himself He lacks more than year OF the
legal age The regents and ministers were
arrested.

It not been the coup d'etat would not have
been possible. After the Issuing of the proc
lamation and long before daybreak the king
proceeded to the barracks, where the troops
we're under arms, and was received with Joy
Gus acclamations and many expressions Of
loyalty.
Alexander has dissolved parliament and

a Directory Canvas Puts the Population
of st. Louis at 574,5Go-Naming an
Ocean Greyhound.
ST. LOUIS April l4-The new city
directory just published contains lsi.-
5.3 names, and indicates a population
of 374. 569, allowing three persons to
each name. 1t is usual in making
computations of this kind to multiply
the names in the directory by three
and half, but this is probably less
accurate than the simple trebling of
the names The census Of 1880 gave a
population OF little over 100, coo, and
IN that year the directory had 154. 900
names. Thus, assuming tho direc .ory
and government canvassers to have
peen correct in 1890, there must have
been an increase of over 100, 900 IN the
population since that time There is
every indication that this is correct, as
an immense number of buildings have
been erected during the last two or
three years, in spite of which the rent
ing agencies experience great difficulty
in satisfying the demands of newcon-
ers for homes.
St Louis is acknowledged to have
some of the best paved streets in the
country, but it does not propose to be
content with success already attained
in this direction. A schedule has just
been prepared by the Street Commis-
sioner including SO large a number of
improveme is as to embrace 200 miles.
Il will take ten years to carry out the
plan. and when it is completed there
will be little left to desire in the way
OF good streets The Boulevard sys-
tenn on which work is now progress
ing will be finished next year, and
II IL, Irtx
for light vehicles. The acknowledged
weak point in the city streets are in
those running north and south, and
these will be attended to as soon rs
the bouievards are finished.
One of the pleasantest duties of the
new Mayors first day in Office was
an inspection of the new city hall
under the guidance of the architect.
The building will be finished and
turned over to the city this fall with
imposing ceremonies. Representatives
from all parts of the State will be in
vited and special interest will center
in the proceedings from the fact that
Missouri granite and stone have been
used exclusively in the construction.
Visitors to this years fall festivities
will see the building about completed,
and il will probably be occupied from
the sixth story to the basement during
the coming winter.
meeting of representative citizens
was held in the Mayors Office on Tues
day when 1t was resolved to take
measures to endenvor to secure the
naming OF one of the new ships in
course of construction by the American
Navigation Company, 'St. Louis
The two popular vessels of this line
are now known as the Paris and New
York. and it is understood that the two
vessels now in course of construction
will have the names OF two important
cities. Owing to tine large amount OF
transatlantic traffic, both of business
men and tourists en- route for St. Louis,
il is believed that the ompany will ac-
cede to the request and name one OF
the first American Greyhounds con-
structed in au American dock yard
