Arbor and Bird DaY.

State Superintendent Harvey
has issued the annual for Arbor
and Bird Day, the date of which
for this year is May II. There
is something suggestive of young
life in the month, and the forms
of life which the observance of
the day is designed to preserve
and protect have intimate associ-
alton with that period of life
when care sat lightly on us. The
boy who does not love the forest
is a boy only in years. All of us
can recall a favorite tree, a shady
nook in which dreamy reflection
took possession of us, when the
fitting and the song of birds
was the movement and the voice
of Nature. And we are the bet
ter that we can recall these ex-
periences, as they are resting
spots for the mind when Cypress
ed by the shallowness of life.
There is no child who has form
ed friendship with Nature who
has not thereby injected some
purity into his life. And the
fountain is ever fresh with the
waters of content when our i'm
agination takes us back to the
early time when Nature spoke to
us in the language Of the soul.
There is no day set apart for
special observance which should
appeal to us more strongly than
Arbor and Bird Day. 1t should
not be observed in noisy demon
stration or formal ceremony.
The heart should guide the con-
duct and the thoughts of the
past should sanctify the purpose
and bring us in touch with ma
ture through her representatives,
the birds and trees.-Manitowoc
Pilot.

A New Kind of Insurance.

A company has been organized
in San Francisco for the purpose
of insuring against unavoidable
loss of employment. It is pro-
posed to pay the policy holder
three-fourths of the amount of
his salary for a period of six
months or less while he is look
ing for a new job. 1t is stated
that the company has strong f.
nancial backing and that the
business will be transacted on a
basis of averages and probabili-
ties, figured down to a point
which will make it as safe as any
other kind of insurance. =

ing. Much Of the revenue lost BY reduc.

by the increase In the number OF passsn-

more light on the matter and be able to

not be seriously affected by the law. The
mileage book would by no means cut of
the sale Of local tickets, though of course

loss would by no means equal the differ

Important varie.ie. of Tomatoes.

1.-The first point of Importance in the
successful growing of the tomato crop
is the selection of varieties and whilee
number are recommended by seedsmen
as the best. no one variety fulfills the
idea of best for all localities. This is
mainly owing to differences in the eli
mate, season and character of the soil,
as well as the demands of the different
markets The best early varieties, owing
to the comparatively short time during
which attention has been given to the
matter of their development, doubtless
belong to the same strain. says Pro
fessor L. b. Voorhees, of New Jersey in
pI eface to a list of varieties. all of which
possess one or more valuable character
istics and in many cases but little diff
ference either as to quality or earliness.
From this list varieties most suitable
for the different localities may be Sc
lected. the order in which they are
named having particular significance:
Livingston Beauty. Dwarf Champion.
Maule Imperial, Extra Early Richmond,
Improved Trophy, Mikado, Early Ruby,
New Stone, Early Jersey, Matchless,
Perfection. Trucker Favorite, Atlantic
Prize. Fordhook. Acme, Table Queen.

Professor Voorhees, states that the
chief difficulty in the matter of vaiie-
ties is that the earlier sorts AS rule do
not possess the best market qualities
that is, solidity of flesh and smoothness.
They are too frequently irregular in
outline and possess large seed cavities.
