TREES AND THEIR RELATION TO Books
BY j. A. KiPP.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Parents, Guard
ians and those interested in the cause of
education. We as people should be
peculiarly interested in trees. They were
our forefathers first instructor, so it may
be said of us to-day who are familiar
with the works of nature
Trees were given by the Allwise Provi-
dence as meat to man, as well for the
beats of the field and fowls of the air.
When we trace historical facts many
generations past, down to our present age,
we are confronted with the fact that we
owe much to trees for the records of past
events.
Even the word Book we find bears a
strong resemblance to parts of trees in the
various languages. In the good old Eng
lish or Anglo Saxon this word we find
spelled "boc" which means beech tree.
The German "buch. book, is almost the
same as "buohe' meaning beech, and
words of like meaning are also found in
the Danish, Icelandic and Gothic langua-
ges, which before the invention of book
printing, the class of people thus referred
hooN bifO Dehh VI tho AteSh tiS6 " kttp
their records.
Again he who studies Latin knows the
word "Liber" means both bark and book,
which always points to a similar usage
Those who are familiar with the Greek
language have learned the word "Biblos"
means book, also have learned that it
means the inner bark of the papyrus plant
and the old Egyptians by their Hierorogly-
phics recorded events Of ftheir day upon the
bark of this plant
From the name Of this plant we are re-
minded of the word paper.
Allow us to go back to 'liber" we have
the root of the word library meaning a
collection Of books. Also go back to the
word 'Biblos" we find the word Bible or
Book Of all books
Literally speaking we might say of to-
day that our books are made from trees,
instead Of teing the bark, It Is the wood
that is ground into pulp, then being spread
into thin sheets and passing through yari
Gus rollers and compressed to certain de.
grees Of hardness it is changed from wood
to paper.
We might call your attention that even
our linen and cotton paper is made from
a plant similar in growth to the tree.
When we turn the leaves Of our books
we are reminded that the material is from
a growth Of plant in the nature Of tree
Again We lead you on TO the association OF
trees with our education. Many times
have you referred to the lower school
building as the Old Academy This word

of the blacking is imported from
France, and that the industry in
this country is in its infancy, but is
making fair progress. If we retain
the House rates on certain ingredi-
ents he mentions, he asks that we
also make a small increase on black
ing and suggests that it will be cas-
ier TO do this than to change the
rates on the dozen articles which en-
ter into his product. His request
does not seem unreasonable, does it,
if the facts are as he states? Well,
we have looked into the rates on
every one of the ingredients men
toned and their bearing on his pro
duct and find his statement correct.
That is the way we are doing our
work on the tariff bill. and l think
it is better than to do this man an
injustice and possibly give his bus .
ness to the French manufacturers. :"
The subcommittee expects to com
plete its work on the bill this week 4,
and it is hoped that the bill can be
reported to the Senate next week.

Gone to Mexico.

Mr.. Fred. b Emery, who has been
representing the Standard OIL Com

Mr., Emery left last Saturday for
Acambarro, Mexico, by Steamship
Chonco to Galveston, Texas, and
thence by rail to his destination.
His brother Harry is employed as
an engineer at that place which is
2sO miles from the City of Mex co.
Fred is a careful, industrious young
man and voluntarily left his position

Milford Golf Club.

The Milford Golf Club begins it's
second year under increased condi-
tions of encouragement and success,
the season promising to be notably
eventful and brilliant. The club
has renewed the rental of the War
ner and Van Wyck fields on the
Vandermark, and will further ex.
tend and improve the links. There
will be tournaments and match
games during the season, open to
subscribers as well as members, and,
probably a repetition of the enjoya-
BILE afternoon teas at the club house.
The annual meeting of the club
will be held in June, at which time
officers, governors and house COM
mittee for the ensuing year will be
elected and, also, candidates for
membership voted upon. Mr.. Fred
erick Beadel, former president, hav-
ing resigned because OF intended alb
sence, the treasurer, Mr.. Noyes, is
acting president, according to the
constitution of the organization, and
he may be addressed upon any bust
ness connected with the club.

TRrEs IN MASSES.

Interesting as trees are considered singly
for beauty, we must consider their useful
ness in Masses such as the forest.
From the forest we obtain the fuel to
warm our houses. From the forest we Oh
tain timber for the construction of houses,
ships, railway cars and carriages.
1t has been estimated that more than
s70O, ,O0O, 600 worth of timber is used from
the forests of the United States
The revenue or income is more than the
value of the wheat, oats, barley, rye, pota-
toes cotton and tobacco combined. and is
more than ten tinfes the product of our
silver and gold mines. This industry
furnishes more labor for the United States
than any other, and its material is the
most useful to mankind, without it we
could scarcely exist.
1t is modifer of climate, the source or
reservoir for the supply Of water the puri-
fler of air and it furnishes many other
supplies to mankind.
We should always be ready TO protect
the forest from destruction in the way of
fires and ever lend our assistance in pro
tecting the forest from any harm.

ORIGIN OF ARBoR DAY.

Arbor Day originated ON treeless plains
of Nebraska where swept the unimpeded
winds with great force.
The early settlers of that region felt the
need of shelter from these winds, not only
for themselves but for their cattle and
their crops.
The planting Of trees was their only
protection yet seeming almost like a hope
less understanding to few settlers scat
tered over such vast space of territory.
To this, the settlers agreed to fix upon
day for tree planting and this seemed to
put energy into the inhabitants and it has
always since been observed as a day set
apart for this good and glorious work, and
to-day many millions of trees are waving
in the western breezes as the results Of the
observance of this day Our state now
has become acquainted with the fact, that
we need the same protection, and have
only two years ago appointed a Forestry
Commissioner with DIR. ROthroclx at its
head to see that the forests of this grand
old keystone state shall not be neglected

The PLANTING OF THE TREE.

As the hillsides are putting forth the
maple crimson to a coral reef, we here and
there see the everlasting beauty of that
evergreen, which belongs to the family Of
the pine never changing its dark green
hue.
In the spring time when all other trees
and flowers are putting forth their great
attraction, to be first recognized, we must
not forget the Hemlock, which has
stood in all its beauty through the wintry
blasts and protected us from the cold
bleak winds Of the North.
It's cones, about the size of lady's
th'mble, are gems of beauty, they are at
this time of year of dark deep rosy purple
and curved downward, resembling a
flower and containing its seed.
From the lightness Of the winged seed
they are very widely borne away
II is thus that the belt of the globe is tc-
day wavering in evergreen and here in
honor TO the God of Nature we add one
more TO the millions that are being planted
by the schools of this and many other
Sla'es' ETA G. DECKER.

How to Build a Stone Road

AS it is now generally conceded
that the natural earth properly pre-
pared, constitutes the best founda-
tion for a stone, or any other road,
the following directions will serve
to give an excellent stone road,
suited to the needs and means of this
section and are substantially the same
as were advocated by me in the
newspapers about six years ago.
Take such a length of road as it is
expected to complete, say half a mile,
and soon after the frost is olt, or
after heavy rains, plane its su rface
with a road machine, set light, and
to carry the scrapings to the side of
the road. Commence at the centre,
planning to the sides lightly leaving
the road perfectly smooth and true
the desired width, and the scrapings
in a small straight ridge along each
border. Now roll well, and if any
depressions occur either fill with
earth, or else pass the machine over
lightly, and again roll. This should
now give smooth surface of even
texture, and rising from sides to
center at the rate of one in forty.
The crowning or rise should be
about the same as is desired in the
finished road surface. In crushing
for the first layer use only the hard
est stones obtainable, and crush to
2 or 2% inch size, rejecting for a
second crushing, for surface dress
ing, any fiat, sand, or other soft
stones, if any. Put on the prepared
earth not to exceed four inches of
the coarse stone, level off evenly
and roll down thoroughly with the
heaviest roller procurable. Let this
first layer extend out to the ridge of
earth on sides of road, Use one, or
one and half inches of fine stone on
this after it has been we'll knit to-
gether by rolling, and finish by an
other thorough rolling. There is
but little likelihood of OVERRIDING the
rolling at any stage of the work,
and if done in damp weather, or wet
artificially while the process of roll
ing is going ON the work will be ac-
celerated, and correspondingly thor
ough. The small ridge of earth
will retain the stone from spreading,
and openings can be made in il
where necessary for drainage.
The is no great secret in the art of
building a MacAdam road. The
conditions necessary for success are
not many. nor are they intricate, but
such as they are, they are absolutely
essential, and their application on
lines of common sense will bring
about the desired result a good
road. II.

INTRODUCTION.

Arbor Day, from being an humble ex-
pedient of one of our Western States few
years ago, has become, it may be said, one
of our national holidays. Its original de
sign has been connected with our schools
1t is now not only a day for planting, both
for economic and aesthetic purposes, but
its observance has been made the means
of imparting much valuable knowledge in
observation and kindling in their minds
AN interest in natural objects which will
be a life long source of pleasure.
1t is not too much to hope, also, that this
Arbor Day festival, engaging our children
in its observance so generally and so
pleasantly with songs, Rotations, and
planting of trees and shrubs around the
school houses and along the streets or in
public parks, may have the effect of bring
ing forward soon a generation who will
feel both the value and the beauty of trees,
as hitherto they have not been felt i'm our
country, and thus the reckless destruction
of our forests, now going OH with such
threatning consequences may be arrested
before the calamities are upon us which
have befallen other countries through the
loss of their trees. JENNIE STRUTHERs.

THE VOICE OF A TREE.

want your friendship, want it for your
sake as well as mine, do not speak for
myself only, but for all my kind to your
kind, from the vegetable world to the ami
NAL world.
Let us hence forth be true friends, for
such we naturally are.
You all have the advantage of us trees,
in that you move about, have teeth, axes
and saws. Use them, but not to your own
hurt.
Do you ask who l am?
Well l come of a goo7 family If my
ancestors did not teach yours how to honor
and respect the glory our family put forth
for the benefit of mankind they should
have done so long ere this.
The botanists call me Abic Canadensis
because they prefer Latin to English, /
am in plain English "The Hemlock." /
am here for the benefit of you and many
generations TO follow.
What is nourishment to my body is
death to yours, l am purifier of your
filth, and without me you could not live.
But l can live with you.
