THE FOUNDER OF ARBOR DAY. Instituted by Secretary Morton Twenty two Tears Ago. Twenty-two years ago, or, more spe cifically, on Jan. 4. 1872, Hon. J. Ster ling Morton introduced and the Nebras ka state board of agriculture passed a resolution urging the people of that state to plant trees on Wednesday, the 10th of the following April. The board sup ported its resolution with offers of pre miums for the largest number of trees properly planted in any one county and by any one person. The resolution was, of course, not mandatory, nor had it the support of any action by the legislature, but the people of Nebraska responded by planting on the day indicated more than 1,000,000 trees. The outcome of Mr. Morton's resolu tion,r says the St. Louis Republic, has been perhaps the most widespread move ment that has resulted from the action of an agricultural board. The people voluntarily observed the day in 1873, and Governor Robert W. Furnas in 1874 made official proclamation recommend ing to the people that they again observe the day and petition the state legislature to make it a. legrfr holiday. For the next 11 years the inhabitants of Nebraska celebrated Atbor day with constantly increasing interest, but it was not until 1885- that the legislature took official ao tion in the matter. Then the date was changed to April 22 and the occasion made a legal holiday. Long before this, however, other states. and especially those in the central arid region, had followed Nebraska's example in naming a public Arbor day, most of them by direct legislative enactment. Thence the interest spread east, west, north and south, so that by the time Nebraska's tardy legislature had second ed the governor and the board of agri culture millions of new trees were grow ing in widely sundered regions. Secre tary Morton quotes ex-Governor Furnas now secretary of the state board of agri culture, as estimating that since the es tablishment of Arbor day there have been planted on that anniversary in Ne braska alone 400,000,000 trees. Ex-Governor Furnas himself writes: "Since the inauguration of the day in thi3 state it has been instrumental in planting trees on our naturally treeless prairies, numbering into the billions. Nearly all the states in the Union have adopted it. In foreign countries, Eng- : i . SECRETART . MORTON. land, France, Germany and Scotland have followed. The work of tree plant ing, inspired by the existence of Arbor day, is simpby wonderful." The literature of Arbor day through out the world has grown almost into a library. Pamphlets, newspaper articles, speeches and lectures upon the subject have been published "by hundreds. Ex perts have studied the arboreal needs of many states, and minute instructions as to the best trees to plant, methods of planting and the best time to plant have been issued in nearly every state and territory. i The friends of tree planting in Nebras ka took the trouble five years ago to com memorate the institution of Arbor day by issuing a bound' volume giving the history of the movement up to that time. An interesting portrait of Mr. Morton forms the frontispiece of the work, and to him the book is dedicated. James Russell Lowell, George William Curtis, George H. Boker. John Boyle O'Reilly, John Burroughs, Edward Everett Hale and Thomas F. Bayard contributed to the volume of letters in praise of Arbor day, and Edith M. Thomas and Edmund Clarence Stedman wrote -poems for the work. Up to that time Nebraska had planted more than 350.000,000 trees, and the aggregate planted throughout the United States had reached a number that baffles the imagination. Most of the states and territories now celebrate Arbor day in April. In some parts of the country'this is too early in 5RoW. 3 Jfurruxi LETTER HEADS OF SECRETARY MORTON AND EX-OOVERXOR FCFNAS. the season. In the mountainous region of Colorado, for example, it is practical ly impossible to plant trees before May because of the deep snows and hard frosts. Several states have altered the date of Arbor day upon finding that it fell too early to suit climatic conditions. Many states provide for special observ ance of Arbor day in the schools, and the planting of "class trees" by college class es an ancient custom has been revived YML '.fl mm NmSx A RBOR LODGE WW. r and extended. All literature has been ransacked for appropriate poems to be recited and songs to be sung as part of the ceremonial of Arbor day. This year will see probably 40,000,000 trees planted on the several anniversaries throughout the Union. Already Nebraska's newly planted trees would form a dense forest covering at least 400 square miles. " While the movement was thus spread far beyond the bounds of Nebraska, the interest of Nebraskans in Arbor day con tinues to be a matter of special pride. Several of those most active in the early Arbor day movement have adopted em t blematic devices for their letter heads by way of commemorating the anniversary Secretary Morton, whose home, "Arbor Lodge," near Nebraska City, is on the farm he originally settled upon when he first went to Nebraska, more than 30 years ago, has for his letter heads a green tree standing in a greensward over a scroll bearing the motto, "Plant Treas." Ex-Governor Furnas ha3 for a letter head a somewhat similar tree and sward, with "Forest Park Place," tho name of his homestead, over the emblem, his own name beneath. Mr. Furnas appropriate ly uses green ink on his typewriter, a piece of consistency that Secretary Mor ton has not thought it worth while to follow. A CHAPLET OF FLOWERS.

THE FOREST. Flow to Give It a Majestic Appearance and Make It a Delight to the Eye. As trees grow thickly together in t he forest the lower limbs die and drop - ff while they are small. But in cases f isolated trees the conditions are so dil : ent that unless pruned thy are of tei. 1 1 shaped and unsightly. Many people roneously imagine that as a tree grt the limbs will be raised higher, where:is. from increased weight, they droop nud become really lower. The common prac tice is to neglect pruning shade trees un til the view is obstructed by large low limbs, which are then heroically sawed off, leaving large knots and scars, which must ever remain to offend the ej-e. These useless branches were grown at the expense, of the main trunk. Such trees can never present the fine and ma jestic appearance of those which have a nearly uniform diameter from the ground x the lowest limbs. In imitation of nature's process in the forest, all limbs and sprouts should be removed as soon as possible up to a de sired point. This can usually be done with an ordinary knife, or even the hand. In considering the removal of a sprout the question should be, Will a branch be desirable at that point? If not, let it not remain to rob desirable parts. The height at which branching should be allowed to commence must be decided by individual taste,' which will also indicate the lopping off at other points of those branches which are .ill formed and not in harmony with the general appearance. Dead and decaying limbs should be promptly removed. H. Ii. Sanford, COOKING BY STEAM. Food Cteadered More Palatable and In ' Boauo Case BXora "Nutritions. Some claim that food cooked by steam is more nutritious and whole some tba.n cooked in any other man ner. While not agreeing- exactly with, this statement, I do think that many dishes are more palatable when cooked by steam. In the steam cooker, which I have tried and found satisfactory, there is a perforated disk which fits into tho kettle in three different posi tions; this divides the space into below, 4 below, or below the disk, according to its position. There is also an extension tin top, much like an or dinary steamer, to be used when cook ing large quantities or many kinds at once. There is a pipe down one side of the kettle, through which the super fluous "steam is discharged into the stove. No odor from the cooking food escapes into the room, for the joint be tween the kettle and cover is sealed with water. The steamer is large enough for a turkey, if the bottom of the tin exten sion is removed, which can be done. For an average family potatoes and a pud ding may be cooked in the kettle with out the tin extension. Dumplings or a cottage pudding will cook in twenty minutes if the water in the lower com partment is boiling when they are placed in it. Very rich puddings con taining suet, etc., require more time. Potatoes will cook in thirty minutes, and are always nice and meaty. Bread and raised biscuit are always nice when cooked by steam, there being ab solutely no crust at all, but bread thus cooked should be eaten warm, as it does not keep moist and tender like that baked in the ordinary way. Rice, oatmeal and the like are cooked to perfection by steam. You do not have to stir them to keep them from burn ing, and every kernel is cooked tender without losing its shape. The maDy things that can be cooked in a steam cooker, from beef tea to . first pre mium canned fruit, cannot be enumer ated here; but persons procuring a steam cooker, I am sure, will pro nounce it a "household convenience."

A wicker hamper is desirable for this use, as it is so well ventilated, but where such is not at hand or readily purchasable, a light box can be made to answer the purpose of such a wicker hamper very nicely." Half-inch white wood or pine is heavy enough to use for making a box, which should have a hinged cover, and openings on top, bottom and all the sides, which may be rectangular as in the illustration or they may be made by boring holes in the sides with an inch bit in the form of a rectangle or diamond. ram and Home. SOME HOME REMEDIES. For a bee sting-, make a paste of earth and water. Cover the stung place with it, bind it on and it will soon give relief. When a felon first begins to appear cut off the end of a lemon, put the fin ger in it and keep it there as long as it can be borne. Fob a sore throat, try a frequent gargle of salt and water. If a little is swallowed it will allay the irritation, cleanse the throat and do no harm. Fob stains on the hands nothing is better than salt moistened with lemon juice. Kuo tne spots wen witn tne mixture, then wash off m clean water. It is said that a good remedy for strengthening and clearing the voice is-to beat the white of an egg with the juice of a lemon and sweeten it well with sugar and use as needed. To cure round shoulders, sleep per fectly horizontal that is, without any bolster or pillow. The habit can easily be acquired of sleeping thus, and the round shoulders will soon be straight ened. For a cough, boil an ounce of whole flaxseed in a pint of water, strain and add a little honey, the juice of two lemons and an ounce of rock candy. Stir together and boil a few minutes. Drink hot. Flirting Is Very Had Form. The man or woman who will indulge in. the practice of "flirting" with an outside party is not worth going out with or being taken out. It is a species of bad form that nothing can excuse, and liiougn there are many who think it cute to make eyes and re turn signs made by strangers, feeling that such attention is a bit of personal homage, the outside world judges dif ferently and one exhibition of that sort should be enough to wean the re spect of either man or woman, no mat ter how devoted they might heretofore have been.

The prosecution showed in evidence practically the same facts proven -u-jamst the three men who were bound over yes terday. The stolen property was found in Ury's back yard, and Ury him self was discovered hiding ' under the porch. Ury in' explanation s;iid he heard a noise in the yard and went out to see what it was. lie did not know the goods were there. When he hoard the policemen coming, not knowing but that they were some dangerouj charac ters, he hid to avoid being seen. Mr. Ury's brother, I. N. Ury, of Ft.
