TranspIanting Trees.

In Revue Universelle, according to
another foreign contemporary, there is
practical article OF general interest
on transplanting plants in full foliage
at night. The results of some expert
ments by Rouault would make unneces.
sary the customary transplanting of de-
ciduous trees in the fall or winter. He
has found that trees may be trans
planted in full foliage in May or June,
with little or no injury, providing the
process is carried on at night. This
has been demonstrated to the entire
satisfaction of some of the most prom
inent horticulturists of France.

Poetry Defined.

George P. Morris, the author Of
"Woodman, Spare That Tree" was a
general of the New York militia and a
favorlte with all who knew him. Mrs
Sherwood In her "reminiscences tells
how another poet associated the general
with definition of poetry.
Once Fitz-Greene Halleck, the author
of Marco Bozzaris," called upon her in
New York in his old age. and she asked
him to define for her what was poetry
and what was prose.
He replied: when Gen. Morris COM
mands his brigade and says, Soldiers,
draw your swordsp he talks prose.
When he says, Soldiers, draw your
willing swords? he talks poetry"

GREATEST PORT IN FRANCE.
Commerce of Paris Has Annually

Commerce of Paris Has Annually
Been Growing I'm Importance.
Paris will soon be the greatest port
in France Work which was begun thir-
ty-seyen years ago is now nearing COM
pletion and when this is done the gay
capital will have many miles OF
wharves capable OF landing thousands
of tons Of merchandise daily. Although
the port is mostly concerned with in
ternal traffic, the Seine at Paris is also
deep enough to receive ships coming
direct from London. Her commerce Of
this nature has annually been growing
In Importance
Shortly after the war Of 1870 the
Paris Municipal Council decided TO es-
tablish wharves along the river banks
so that boat traffic could be more rap
idly developed. vast plan Of i'm
provement was then laid out The river
was dredged. Locks were established
both above and below the city, so as
to maintain the river at a nearly con-
stant level. Then a series of docks
was established, some of which were
large enough to take Channel steamers
of moderate tonnage. Such steamers
are now familiar sight at the Port St
Nichols, just opposite the Louvre.
The chief feature of the shipping
which has Paris as its home port is
stone, plaster and other building ma
terial. Huge quantities of cereals and
wine are also handled. Among the
things which Paris ships to the prov
inces by way Of the Seine is refuse de-
rived from old buildings which have
been torn down, and such unattractive
material as chemical manures and so
forth.
During thesyear 1906 almost 13,000,,
900 tons were shipped from Paris. Last
years record surpassed this by another
half million. When the present i'm
provements are completed 1t is believed
that the annual tonnage will be almost
doubled. Practically all the ground re-
moved in excavating for the city's new
underground railroad was carried away
by Seine boats. All the material used
In its construction came by the same
route
The only port which at present sur
passes Paris in annual tonnage Is Mar
seilles, and within the next few months
even Marseilles will have to take sec
ond place.

LEARNING THE BEST.

A tired little worm went to sleep one day
In soft little cradle of silken gray,
And he said, as he snugly curled up in
his nest, 49,.
"Oh, crawling was pleasant, but rest is
best"
He slept through the winter, long and
cold,
All tightly up in his blanket rolled,
And at last awoke on warm spring day,
To find that the winter had gone away.
He awoke to find he had golden wings,
And no longer need crawl over sticks and
things.
"Oh, the earth was nice" said the glad
butterfly
"But Heaven is best when we learn to
fly"

5 The Summer BOdrdCr


The rolling ranges of the Blue Ridge
and the Smokes have become the camp
ing ground of ambitious artists and art
students Amaryl was accustomed to
see them pass along the road, with
camp stools and other paraphernalia,
to meet youths and maldens In the pur-
suit of art wandering through the for
ests, valleys and fields, intent on hope
less and frultless attempts to capture
the glorles of sunset and sunrise down
vista of far-distant peaks.
When their summer boarder, there.
fore, unpacked an easel, paints and
brushes, Amaryl was delighted. You
could make lovely pictures If you would
copy the scenes around here. l will
take you to see our wonderful falls and
cascades, and there is nothing loveler
than Mission Valley when tho moon

list answered amblguously. He was
watching Amaryl through half-closed
eyes while she trapsplanted some ferns.
She was too Intent on her task to no
tice his steady gaze.
The artist seemed to be lazy. He
was content to spend hours In his room,

der off with Amaryl when she could
spare the time In the sweet, late after
moons, to visit some beautiful spot she
told him Of No one knew OF the glo-
rious canvas which he kept locked in
q closet of his room.
He would sketch for few moments,
then, throwing himself ON some moss
covered rock by Amaryl's side, would
drift Into desultory descriptions Of
scenes OF far-distant lands, or would
wander into dreamy speculation on the
problems OF life, whose charm was ac-
centuated by the murmur Of waterfalls
or the wind playing Its Eollan harp III
the pines and hemlociis overhead.

RreMerx stock Feed.

Dried brewers grains rank close to
bran in feeding value, containing a
little more protein and fat, but not
quite so much carbohydrates. 1t is
claimed that in 100 pounds of this feed
there are 1871 pounds of protein, 36.3
pounds of carbohydrates and 81 pounds
of fat. Malt sprouts and dried brew
ers' grains are valuable cow feeds. es-
pecially the latter. Sprouts are rich

by cows and should be fed only in linn
ited quantities. Wet brewers grains
are apt to injure the quality of the

NObtnH Killed for Food in the south.
A million robins were killed in Louis
lana during the winter of 19O7-S, the
offenders being men and boys who shot
them for food. While they are pro-
tected as song birds in Northern States,
1t Is common Southern practice to
shoot them for the table, and in some
States the hunters kill them In great
numbers at their roosting places. A
government expert suggests that the
eastward movement of the boil weevil
has been facilitated by the killing of
the robins. If that is shown to be so,
the cotton growers will not receive
much sympathy from the members of
the Audubon societies.-Leslie's Week

being combination of the railroads in
making the advance. because they indi-
Gated that the President and the inter-
