Millions of Trees Planted.


Robert Craig, one of the Vice
Presidents of the Pennsylvania
Horticultural Society, gave an
interesting account Wednesday even
ing before the Florists Club of Phila-
delphia, of his recent visit to the
estate of Mr.. George w. Vanderbilt, at
Baltimore, N. G. AS far as practicable,
said Mr.. Craig, every known shrub is
being imported by Mr.. Vanderbilt, and
together with native grOwths, they are
being prOpagated on his estate.
One million plants yearly have been
propagated during the past three years.
An acre OF palms and decorative foliage
plants is under glass. On some pOr-
tiOns of the estate dense masses OF
rhOdOdendrOns stretch for miles,
bordering the macadam roads, and il
will be possible very soon to drive for
| so miles between banks of Towering
| plants and shrubs. Mr.. Craig then re
! ferred to the shade trees in Washing
! ton, where, he said, a committee o.
! three hOrticultuTists are authorized tC
plant on any street the kind of treC
they deem most suitable, and in carry
ing out their work they are careful Il
select the trees of the same size anC
age of each variety. the result being
beautiful uniformity.
Contrasting this with Philadelphia
street foliage, he suggested that
movement should be inaugurated for
like cOmmitte to have charge of plant
ing trees in that city, and expressed tn
opinion that tree planting in cite
ought to be under the control of tn
municipal government PhitGdetphi

Sports for Winter Evenings.

A peanut hunt is lots of fun for an
evening party. The hostess hides pea
nuts in all sorts of queer places about
the room, sometimes putting two or
three nuts in the same place. Then
she provides each of her guests with q
little basket tied with gay ribbons, and
the "hunt" begins. After a certain
time the finds are compared. The one
who has the largest number wins the
first prize, while the "boOby prize" is
fttinely awarded to the one having
fewest.
Some other trials that are great sport
are often introduced. One is to see
who can carry the most peanuts in one
hand from one table to another. A
boy ought to win this. FOrty.twO is q
good number. OF course the winner is
to be rewarded, while the "bOOby, "tOO
must have a simple something.
Another trial consists in carrying pO'
tatoes from one room to another in Q
teaspoon. The potatoes should b'
round and big, are better put on table
with a polished top. The one who cal
carry the greatest number of potatoes
/ from one table to the other in a giveI
time wins. The tables must be ia
apart 1t is not easy to scoop up tn,
potatoes, and, once secured, it is still
difficult to retain them.

Some French Maxims.

A book Of notes and impressions
which does not contain contradictory
idea is not sincere work.
Moral thoughts improve nobody, not
even the person who writes them.
To talk loudly and firmly is to use
the argument of fools.
To translate book is to undress
ideas.
Lack of logic is one of the conditions
of charm.
Martyrs lack irony, and this is an
objectionable fault, because without
irony the world would be similar to a
forest without birds Irony is the gay

Cold days for other than politicians are

The country has heard much about Con-
gressiOnal bosses, but if there is any man

A serious and costly trouble with many
people is their inability to separate sport

it would be better for Congress to do moth
ing than to do wrong.

THE WEATHER AND THE GRIPPE
Weather Forecaster Dunn, of New
York, has made a most important con-
tributiOn to the science of medicine in
meteorological chart which estab-
fishes the relation between the high
death rates from that strange Russian
influenza, ia grippe" and the weather
conditions in New York city during
the period from March % to May 16,
1891. OF course, it is a mere common
place to be told that the weather in
fluencrd the epidemic but Mr.. Dunn
has discovered that the fatality was
most mark ed when the humidity was
| at its maximum and there was sud
den fall of the temperature. On April
81 alone $50 deaths were reported from
the peculiar disease. This humidity
phase may lead the physicians to new
light ON "la grippe" as catarrhal OF
pulmonary ai1liction in its truest as

ware, at all events, OF the cold, humid
