AN IRISH ARBOR DAY.

According to Dublin correspondent, propo-
sition has been put forward to make I~elands ma
tional holiday ST. Patrick's day Arbor day well.
1t is every day becoming more and more noticeable
that Ireland is being so rapidly deforested that
very soon it will be difficult to obtain even the
rough timber required for farm purposes. and that
if something is not done, and that quickly, the
island which was known to the ancients as the
Island Of the Woods" will soon be denuded of
trees If the idea of planting even few trees
every 18th of March in honor of the patron saint
were carried out, it would do great deal to bring
back to the country It's old-time look. Now, too,
when the land is passing from the landlords to the
tenants, under the land act the timber will
suffer more than ever there will not be the
restriction cutting the trees. In part of the
north of Ireland when some few years ago Lon
don company sold estate to the tenants there
we're plantations covering some 500 acres. Two
thirds of the plantations were cut down at once and
the remainder is being done away with. Now the
people of the district beginning to realize their
mistake, III the past inclement season stock and
crops have suffered alike from want of shelter.9nt
the farmers would be very glad if they could'pdt
all the trees back again.
