Another point of difference between
forest and nut trees Is this: In tho caso
of tho nut trees, according ns you gath
er tho fruit you remove from tho soli
Just audi element's na aro contained In
tho fruit. And It so happens In the
economy of nature that tho tree will
store up mote of (ho mineral elements
which arc asslmllntcd In the fruit than
It does In nny other of Its parts. And In
removing tho fruit you renlly deterior
ate your noil. Hence you must put your
nut trees upon strong soil, nnd If you
wnnt the best nuts you must follow tho
lino of orcharding.
In tho case ot a forest, you plant your
forest upon the poorest soil soil which
you cannot uso for agricultural pur
poses and you depend upon tho forest
ltsolf to enrich tlmt soil. Here again
Ib a very great contrast between tho
two classes of trees. You depend upon
tho forest to enrich tho soil. Why?
Because tho mineral elements and tho
carbon and oxygen which tho forest
tree takes aro secured from tho atmos
phere, and It transforms those elements,
assimilates thom.nnd puts them into an
organic condition. With each recur
ring miliiinn the forest drops Its leaves
and theso llo on tho ground bencnth tho
tree. In tlmo they decay and mako a
rich mnmiiG humus, wo call It, or
dinarily. So your forest really enrich
es tho soil, whll your nut tree im
poverishes it. This, then, Is the uccond
contrast between those two classes of
trees. Chns. A. Kwffner.

A writer In Populnr Sclonco News
F.nya: "The mistletoe grows moat com
monly in tho applo tree." This Is qulto
correct, but tho Kngllsh () tntstletoo
that conies to this country In such
quantities for Christmas comes from
Normandy nnd other sections of north
ern France, and grows almost exclu
sively on tho black poplar, the princi
pal roadside treo on the military loads
of France. Theso trees yield a largo
ro ven ue to tho commune; about two
thirds of the limbs arc cut close to
tho trunk, once In six years, tied In
smnll bunches, say four Inchc3 in di
ameter, and sold as fagots, and Is the
wood mostly used by bakers. From
theso limbs the mistletoe Is taken about
the 20th of Novomber and shipped In
crates to Fnglnnd, nnd from thence to
this country na Ungllsh mistletoe of
poetic history.
The Bunch Sweet Potato Few plants
could be moro Interesting, than this.
Here at the North wo hnve not suc
ceeded in getting n good crop of tubers
from It. At tho South It seems a very
valuable thing. "Perhaps no other
vegetable novelty which has been in
troduced in the South In recent years,"
says a bulletin recently published by
the Texas Experiment Stntlon, "ha
caused more comment than tho vlneless
sweet potato. The experimental stage
has been passed, and the value of this
variety, like that of the bunch lima
bonn, has been established beyond
question. With nearly a level culture,
we hnve grown ovor three hundred
buahela per aero of this variety, and
all tho tops could have been easily
cut with a mower. The high value of
tho tops for feed has been proven, but
It is best to feed thorn greon. as they
do not cure well. Frequently it lb a
good practice to mow off the heavy lops
nnd leave tho gritty runners on tho
ground."
Examine- Stock Salt. It Is not al
ways best to buy a cheap quality of salt,
or having bought what 13 supposed to
bo a good quality and finding It not up
to expectation, to feed It to stock. Sov
eral weeks ago we mentioned an un
accountable case of death of a number
of head of cattle. Upon questioning the
gentleman who lost tho cattle, this
week, we learn that by comparing notes
with others who had sustained similar
losses, ho as-ertalned the cause. A sacK
of salt which had been fed to tho cat
tle consisted of the clearings of the
evaporating vat, nnd contained so much
gyp and other harmful substances that
tho cattle dlod of scours as though thoy
wero ulllictod with an acrid poison.

From Chicago Chronicle: One of
the most brilliant ehnplera Ifl tho his'
lory of American diplomacy, if not the
moat brilliant chapter, la substantially
cloaed. It comprleea varloim Mubjecta,
Including the Venezuelan question, the
demand for the prmnturo recognition
of Cuba nnd tho care of ex-Consul Wal
ler. President Cleveland's triumph Is
complete. Foreign enmity is defeated.
Home malcontent nnd conspirators nro
nppciaed, or at least they aro silenced.
The vindication of the Monroe doc
Irlne, ns Interpreted by Cleveland In Its
application to present times and cir
cumstances, Includes every point In dis
pute between the Knlted States and
Oteat Britain. The queen's speech by
proxy from tho throne conceded
in general nil thnt the United
States had demanded. The subsequent
speeches of Salisbury In the house
of lords and of Balfour in the house of
commons covered tho entire question
In detail and particular.
The simultaneous announcement of
tho British foreign ofllce to Minister
Bayard that nil tho English testimony
on the subject of the Venezuelan bound
ary. Including treaties, surveys and
maps, would be submitted to the Amer
ican Venezuelan commission, of which
Justice Brewer Is president, as a part
of the testimony before It, Is a conces
sion of the highest value and of conclu
sive Importance.
Something more was said. Salisbury
admitted In his awkward tory wav that
he "did not think that tho Invoking of
the Monroe doctrine was controversial
ly quite unnecessary for the United
States." That, is, tho United States
were impellod by a sort of neceysity to
Invoke tho Monroe doctrine, anil It was
Invoked by President Cleveland in em
phatic language. The premier proceed
ed to say that tho interference of the
United States In the Venezuelan con
trovrsy wna as much justified as inter
ference by Groat Britain would be If
tho continental powers should attempt
to disturb tho territorial sovereignty of
Holland or Belgium.
A few months ago Salisbury said that
tho Monroe doctrine does not apply to
tho Venezuelan dispute. Ho now raya
that It Is n vltnl principle of American
policy, as important In its application
to Venezuela as the European policy
I or national independence for tho sandi
er and weaker powers.
Mr. Balfour's dclarations were
equally explicit. Ho said that Great
Britain never would have the slightest
intention to violate the substance or the
oisenco of the Mnnron doctrine, nor to
push beyond the duo limit of its colon
ial frontiers. He added that Grup.t
Britain cherished tho Monroe doctrine
with ns much affection as animates the
United States and claimod credit for Its
British oviziv-. au this f-iendly elo
quence of Salisbury and Balfour was
back of the queen's address, in which
ahe predicted a satisfactory settlement
of the entire controversy.
This Is the most Important of Presi
dent Cleveland's diplomatic victories,
but tho others are of great Interest.
The case of ox-Consul Waller is settled
on better terms than the facts In the
case would have warranted if tho ne
gotiations had been pending between
nny other two countries. Mr. Waller
had been United States consul at Tama
tavo, Madagascar. IIo was removed
from ofllce and afterward procured an
extensivo grant of Innds from the na
tive government, and ho remained In
tho country. The French occupied
Tamatave. Waller wrote a letter which
ho scut surreptitiously to the native
authorities describing the condition of
tho French forces. It was tho act of a
spy.
Waller was tried for the offense and
convicted on nmpio proof. Instead of be
ing shot or bunged, as tho laws of war
would have justified, ho was sentenced
to twenty years' imprisonment. On
representations made by tho United
States he was removed to Franco, and
by request of our government ho will
recclvn his liberty. But ho will have
no claim for damages which the Unit
ed States Will nttenipt to enfroce. Other
matters of official misfeasance were
chni'Kfld against Waller. This did mi
nuter into tho corrospondonce with
France. It merely shows the sensi
tlonnl and fraudulent character of the
rnprrkontatioiiH made by the republican
pieaa and the negro lobby .syndicate
nt Washington in tho cape.
President Cleveland also advlhci con
gress r.s to tho facts of his failure to
recognize the Cuban iuKiirgenta. He
snys that the insurrectionary guerilla
armv has destroyed vast amounts of
plantation property belonging to Amer
ican nntivo and naturalized citizens, nnit
that he thought It would not be good
policy to recognize an lawful "belliger
ents" the forces that wero fighting and
despoiling citizens or tho United States
in Cuba undor the same system of war
fare that they wnro waging against the
subjects of Spain. This has put a xtop
to tho clamor for Cuban "recognition."
Tho triumph ot President Cleveland's
foreign policy at every point, as ooa-
I traated with the fee bio nml valueless re
sults of Blaine's jingo and sensational
methods, Is an Instructive- speotselu.

A Tariff .JfrKinlm!.
From the Chicago Chronicle: Thp
treasury department hna Issued a re
trt on our foreign commerce for 1:85,
which fllla the breasts of republican ca
lamity waller with poignant dlstresc.
Ono of theso (ilstrosmd partisans tele
graphs his paper from Washington
that, according to this report, "the
democratic tariff law, which professed
to ghe the people of the country their
gcods free from tariff exactions, actu
ally collected duty on 52 per cent of the
goods which wore brought Into the
country, while the McKlnlcy law In Ita
Inst fiscal year collected duty only on
41 per cent of the goods brought In."
Thin Implies thnt the new law In n
diabolical contrivance which, whilo
seeming to reduce the taxes. In fact in
ci eases them. That is the burden ot
the lamentation, If It Is not altogether
senseless. And tho Implication is
stiengthoncd when the mourner
changes bin form of words and says
that under the .McKlnlcy law the peo
ple got practically two-thirds of their
Imported goods free of duty, while un
der the Wlhon law they are getting
Iosh than half frco of duty. Tf ono could
overcome the arithmetical dlillculty in
the concolvlng of 52 per cent an equiva
lent to two-thirds ho would Infer thnt
the democrats had been wickedly and
maliciously heaping tnxes on imports
while pretending to take off the taxes.
But what have wo here? One Jere
miah proceeds to say: "The Increase
ot Importation of dutiable goods Is
something ciiormoun, while the free im
portations have not Increased. The
total Importation of dutiable goods dur
ing 1S95 was ?4tn,3r3.So", while the
tolal importation of goods pnylng. duty
in tho last fluenl year of tho McKinloy
law nmoimted to only 5257,015,703.
Thus the now law is nearly doubling
the amount of dutiable goods brought
into the country, but giving the people
no more free importations than did the
McKinley law."
So It appears when we come down to
figures that the difference in the pro
portion of dutiable to free goods is due
not to transferring goods from the lat
ter category to the former, but to an
Increase In the Importation of dutiable
goods. Why the incicnso? Plainly be
cause the dutiable goods are not taxed
so outrageously as they wero under the
McKinley law. With the burden of
taxation lifted the pcoplo can buy more
and enjoy moro. And this remark ap
plies no more to imported goods than
to liko goods of domestic production.
The same cause which has reduced tho
prices ot tuo rormor has equally re
duced tho prices of tho latter. Tho peo
ple nre able to consume and enjoy more
of both foreign nnd domestic goods.
Ami the relief from burden on domes
tic goods la fully throe times as great
as th" relief from burden on foreign
goods, beenuse tho peopln consume
fully three tlmc3 the quantity of do
mestic goods as they do of competing
foreign goods.
But let us not claim too much for tho
new law because the Washington Jere
miah invites us to do so with his mis
leading figures. He compares the du
tiable imports in 1S95 with the dutiable
imports during the last fiscal year of
tho McKinloy law 1891 but he omits
to stato that the dutiable Imports In
1894 wore exceptionally low lower, in
tc.f, than they had born for more than
a quarter of a century. Tho following
statement of the value of dutiable im
ports each year, beginning with tho
fiscal year 18SG and ending with the
calendar yoar 1895, will show how mis
leading the comparison is:

This tabic shows that the dutiable
Imports last year wore much less than
in any ono of five of the last ten years
ind $91,000,000 less than thoy wero in
IsOO under a good, stiff republican
tariff.
The Washington calamity man
jnakea further comparisons, but as they
are of tho same misleading character,
because they are all made with the very
exceptional yoar 1S91, It is unnecessary
to analyze thorn. It will suffice to my
that wjieu it comes to comparing du
ties recoivod he omits that exceptional
year for nn ohvlnua reason. He says
that "the collrctions of customs under
the new law amount to only 5104,591,
?.2.1 in 1S95. while those of the McKin
Iey law amounted to $173,097,070 in its
first fiscal yoar and J19S.373.453 In its
second fieal yoar." If ho had added the
fact that those of tho third year of tho
McKiuley tariff amounted to $120,558.
S02 only ho would have spoiled his
whole lamentation.

Long, long 'igo, so far back that it
cannot be definitely tuicd, the latter
days cf December were set annrt for the
festivities pertaining to pagan worship,
snys the New York Mercury. Perhaps
it. earliest observance began with the
ce'ebrntlon of the winter solstice and of
festivities held in honor of Saturn nnd
Bacchus. To-day Christmas Is celebrat
ed throughout the world not for Its
pngan ancestry, but for its meaning as
the- Christian festival of the nativity.
The keynote cf Christmas joy is
"Peace on earth, good will to men." The
fiist Christmas day that over dawned
brought rejoicing In its wake. On that
day there was born In Bethlehem,
.ludea, a Savior, who Is Christ the Lord.

prosperous he came. To tho whole
world he appeared.' None was forgotten
by him. And now to the outcast and to
the weary one, to the rich man and to
the joyful child he says the words:
"Learn of me."
"If you suffer, Christ pities you.
If you bo lonely, ho in with you.
It you repent of sin, he will keep you
in safety.
If you have great possessions, ho says
unto you,
'Give to tho poor.' "
On Christmas day at least "let all
wrath and clamor and evil speaking bo
done away" and let every one sing, with
tlv heart, "Glory to God In the high

The truth of tho old adage that one
hour of Eleep before midnight is worth
two hours after midnight is questioned
by Dr. B. P. Colby, who states that he
has made some study of the subject,
whilo in naval servico during the re
bellion. Tho ship's company on ship
boardofficers and men alike stand
four watches dny and night, with the
Interpolation of a clog watch of two
houis to change the time of each set
of mon on auecosslvo days. These men
air therefore obliged to get their re
quired sleep very irregularly, but in
moro than two years' observation Dr.
Colby could never discover that the
watch officers and men were not as
fully refreshed by their sleep as were
tle officers of the ship who were re
quired to stand no watch at all.
