INVERTING IN TREES.

There are few efforts in which pro-
fit and pleasure can be more readily
combined than III the promotion of tree
planting on lands not suitable FOR
agricultural purposes. The tree plant
ing practice has gained much ground in
connection with the public schools, and
this helps to establish in the minds of
people the appreciation Of the i'm
portance of doing something in ones
own time for those who are to follow
after.
This is really part of the spirit Of
investment, which finds it's reward in
exerting or denying on's self today in
order that tomorrow or the next day,
or in some more distant time, some one
may enjoy the reward. The same
principal controls the handling of the
great timber tract with foresight, when
it leads the owner to supply the present
market demand without sacrificing the
rights Of the future in the immature
portions of forests.
What is true of a forest tract is
equally true of the few trees which
shade the public highways, or the small
timbered area which forms part of the
homestead in the rural regions. Even
in the cities and towns the care of its
trees is a sign of good business fore
sight They shelter from the burning
heat Of summer and break the winds
of winter. The city of well shaded
streets has a power of attraction as a
place of abode that is not given to those
without them. Such is the correct
testimony of the GAINESVILLE Gazette
According to the Investigations Of
Dun's Mercantile Agency the rise in
market value of 3. commodities that
have to do with the cost of living has
been So per cent in one year and 81
per cent in ten years. England prices
have risen even faster than in this
country. Approximately the same is
true all over Europe and South America
As great as has been the rise in com
modit,as, it is believed the prices Of
land have risen even more rapidly. In
eastern states city lots have risen SO per
cent while farm lands have risen only 20
to 80 per cent. In the west the rise
has been greater amounting to a rise Of
100 to $50 per cent on farm lands.
Sincere public sympathy goes out at
this particular time to the longtime
educator and present member of as
sembly from Grant county, Prof Dun
can McGregor, and his family, in the
accidental and tragic death of the only
son of the household. Richard X Me
Gregor, who was drowned at Plattevile
on Wednesday last. He was a promis-
ing young man, aged twenty years. a
graduate from the normal school at the
recent commencement, and would have
entered the state university in Sep
TENDER. 1t is indeed a severe affection
to the family.

The Seven Lean Years,

In connection with the Egyptian hero
glyphlcs which he deciphered are the
subject OF an article in the Oester-

to understand the origin Of the "seven
lean years narrated In the book Of
Genesis. The inscriptions as trans
lated by Brugsch show that LOO years
before the Christian era the Nile for
seven consecutive years did not over
flow, and famine. pestilence and mis-
cry followed I'VE know" says the
writer, THAT the date Of the seven
years of frutlessncss mentioned in
Genesis was 100 r. c., and thus what
has been looked upon as fancy has
through these hlcrorlyphics become a
matter Of history. The failure of the
