DURING the past year, it is calculated,
the vast sum of over $500, 200, 600 was

Of this sea of liquor was swallowed by
one-fourth of the population. A reput-

Another revolution has occurred, this
time in Belgium, which means another
victory for democratic institutions.
There has been no great excitement,
no war, no bloodshed, and yet the peo-
pie of Belgium have gained their rights
and shown that they rule. Up to this
time, only small number of the
weather. classes of Belgium could vote.
The people demanded the ballot aud it
was refused them. Accordingly, they
struck throughout the kingdom, not for
shorter hours or larger wages but for
the ballot. The military could or
would do nothing with them, as they
we're on the peoples side. The king
realized that he was powerless and
yielded, and everything goes on smooth
ly. sThe divine right OF kings" is a
theory which is topping over more
and more every day. The people rule,
agitators and aristocrats to the contra
~ notwithstanding, and whether their
rule is any improvement on old meth
ods remains TO be seen.

There is a very healthy advance in
Vermont real estate this year. The
demand for farms began to grow bet
ter year ago, and this year the de-
mand is greatly increased. As proof
may be cited the fact that during the
past six months, Ia farms in the town
of Randolph and s in the town of
Braintree, which have been on the
market, have been sold to parties who
will occupy them as permanent homes.
We presume there are other towns that
can SNOW stlII more graurylng state
of affairs. All this points to the fact
that Vermont real estate is good in
vestment and that people appreciate
the fact. Prices have also stiffened up
considerably.

Our present Secretary of Agricul
ture, j. Sterling Morton, was the orig
inator of Arbor Day in his native
State Of Nebraska in 1872. This fact
calls to mind the importance of such a
day and the benefits to be derived from
its observance. 1t is well known that
the wholesale destruction of our for
ests is leading to most disastrous re-
suits, and though the mere observance
OF oEe day in the year for planting
trees may not do much to prevent
these results, it will at least do much
to cultivate sentiment more whole
some in its nature. Aside from the
wholly practical and useful value of
trees, their destruction involves, in
many places, the spelling of beautiful
scenery. In the White Mountain re-
gions, for example, If the present work
OF destruction goes on, the scenery
will be greatly marred. There win be
a consequent lessening Of the num-
Der Of visitors and corresponding pc
cuniary loss to the State. But the
purely sentimental side of Arbor Day
is the principal one, and one which we
could i'll spare. There is nothing that
will more improve farm or a village
than number of beautiful trees.
They form an attraction which moth
ing else can replace, and they require
SO little care or labor that we wonder
why all our farms and village streets
are not made lovely in this way. 1t
comes partially, we suppose, from the
innate selfshness of people, who hate
to do anything the fruits Of which they
will not live to enjoy. For he who
plants tree is planting, not for dey
or a year but for many years, we'll
spring Of JOY for his posterity.
