How to Plant O Tree.

One of the chief objects of all Arbor
Day celebrations should be to teach
how a tree should be planted, and
what kind of a tree to plant in any
given place. For instance, it would
be most unwise to take young tree
from swamp and plant it on hill
side, and vice versa. Mr.. Egleston,
of the Department of Agriculture,
recommends that trees should be Sc
cured from nurseries rather than from
the woodlands or other uncultivated
places, because of the necessity of not
breaking the roots in taking the tree
from the ground. The ordinary meth
cd of transplanting tree is to dig
q hole about the tree to be removed
and take it out, without reference to
the small roots, as soon as it can be
torn from the ground. Then in the
place where it is to be set, kind OF
post hole is dug, the tree put in place,
the earth thrown in and then packed
down as firmly as possibly. If tree
thus transplanted thrives at all, it is
in spite of the efforts of those who
have removed it.
Any one transplanting a tree should
remember that the small roots are Of
more Importance to the tree than the
large ones, for it is by the rootlets
that the tree is supplied with food and
moisture. And when the tree is re-
planted a suitable place should tie
made for it by cultivation, and when
the roots, large and small, have been
spread out the soil should be pressed
carefully but firmly about them so
that they may have a quick oppor.
tunity to resume their useful func-
tions of absorption. My own prac-
tice in removing trees from O wood
land, writes John Giimer Speed, is to
take with each tree quantity of the
soil in which the tree was found grow.
ing and replant the tree in this, SO
that so far as possible it will continue
in its native environment. 1 have
found this plan to be generally sue
cessful.
To make mere idle holiday out OF
Arbor Day is waste of time which
the school managers should prevent

S3 90 q Day 10 Tour Europe.

A New Yorker who toured in Eu-
rope last summer Says: "Three dol
lars a day should be sufficient to cover
all contingencies. At one Of the prin-
cipal hotels in Rouen, L paid only
$3.50 day, viz. : breakfast, 81 cents !;
lunch or whatever name should apply
to their midday meal, 30 certs; dim
ner, 70 cents; room, GO cents; service,
10 cents. The 80 cents required to
reach the So standard would more
than suffice to purchase better grade
of wine than is served gratis at the
dinner, and such small fees as are Gus
tomary. Charges in towns and viii
lagos we're materially less. A record
breaker in point OF cheapness was a
charge of 1920 for dinner, lodgings
two rooms), breakfast and transpor-
tation to railroad station, about two
and half miles in a public buss, our
two wheels being conveyed in a bag
gage wagon. The above charge was
for two persons.

They Watch for Stray Cattle.

On the big, unfenced ranges of the
West cattle from one herd frequently
stray away and join herd belonging
10 another ranchman, and for mutual
convenience and protection the cattle
men in the various States have associa-
tions which keep agents at the prin-
cipal cattle markets to watch for such
Btrays and see that the. result of their
sale is credited to their proper owner,
no matter in what shipment they
reach market. During last year 1864
head of stray cattle belonging to
ranchmen in the Black Hills Country
were picked out in Chicago and 917
head in Omaha, and through the asso'
citation their owners received the
money from their sale. The cattle
are identified by their brands.--NeW

And still those sylaoles remain unspokeni
Two souls that fate In one accord has strung,
Could we the cruel silence but have broken
Two little words, ON whick our futures hung,
And yet we parted and betrayed no token.
Two little words, to utter which I'd striven
But still those syllables remain unspoken.
We'd but to taste the bliss so freely given,
Could wethe cruel silence but have broken
Two words, that might have made this earth
a heaven,
And yet we parted and betrayed no token.
My vain regret my hour of peace deprives
For still those syllables remain unspoken
That Joy were ours that life from love de-
rives,
Could we the cruel silence but have broken;
Two little words that might have linked two
lives,
And yet we parted and betrayed no token.

The Smile Of a Little Child.

There is nothing more pure in heaven,
And nothing on earth more mild,
More full of the light that Is divine
Than the smile OF a little child.
The sinless lips, half parted
With breath as sweet as the air,
And the light that seems so glad to shine
In the gold Of the sunny hair.
O, little one smile and bless me!
For somehow know not why
feel in my soul, when children smile,
That angels are passing BY.
Ifeel that the gates Of heaven
Are nearer than knew,
That the light Of the hope Of that sweeter
world.
Like the dawn Is breaking through.

The Stars.

I Law at my ease in my little boat,
Fast moored to the shore OF the pond,
And looked up through the trees that swayed
in the breeze
At Gods own sky beyond.
And thought Of the want and the sin in the
world.
And the pain and the grief they bring, .
And marveled ut God for spreading abroad
Such sorrow and suffering.
Evening came creeping over the earth,
And the sly grew dim and gray
And faded from sight; and .grumbled af
night
For stealing my sky away.
Then out of the dark just the speck OF a face
Peeped forth from its window bars;
And flaughed to see it smile at me;
I had not thought Of the stars!
There are millions of loving thoughts and
deeds.
All ripe for awakening
That never would start from the worlds cold
heart
But tor sorrow and suffering.
Yes, the blackening night is somber and cold
And the day was warm and fine;
And yet if the day never faded away,
The stars would never shine!
