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-
:

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

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

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.

-ft Which heal our ein atm!
Which

See in each heart of crimson
A deeper crimson shine.
Bo in the foldings of our hearts
Should glow a. love divine.
n.
Kext, place those tender violets.
Look how they still regret
The cell where they were hidden
The teWs are on them yet.
How many souls his loved ones
Dwell lonely and apart.
Hiding from all bat One above
The fragrance of their heart!
III.
Then take that virgin lily.
How holily she stands!
ITou know the gentle angels
Bear lilies in their hands.
Tet crowned with purer radiance
A deeper lov they claim.
Because their queenlike whiteness
Is linked with Mary's name.
IV.
And now this spray of Ivy
You know its gradual clasp
Uproots strong trees, and towers
Fall crumbling in its grasp.
So God's dear grace around us
With secret patience clings.
And slpw, sure power that loosens
Strong holds on human things.
V.
Then heliotrope that turneth
Toward her lord, the sun
Would that our thoughts as fondly
Sought our beloved One.
Nay, if that branch be fading.
Cast not one blossom by.
Its little task is ended.
And it does well to die.
VI.
And let some field flowers even
Be wreathed among the rest.
I think the infant Jesus
Would love such ones the best.
VII.
These flowers are all too brilliant.
So place calm heartsease there
God's last and sacred treasure
For all who wait and bear.
VIII.
Then lemon leaves, whose sweetness
Grows sweeter than before
When bruised and crushed and broken
Hearts need that lesson more
IX.
Yet stay, one crowning glory.
All his, and yet all ours.
The dearest tenderest thought of all
Is still the Passion flower's.
So take it now nay, heed not
My tears that on it fall.
I thank him for the flowers.
As I can do for all.

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.

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."

FOR SOILED CLOTHES.
A Wbiteirood Hamper That Anyone Can
S7ake at Home.
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 case of J. C. Lry, charged with
receiving stolen trooj.s, is beinf; urgued
in Justice Chesney's court this afternoon
by by S. S. Urmy for tae state and Joe
Ensininger for the defence. ' The testi
mony. in the case was concluded last
evening.
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.
Scott, who is register of deeds of Bour
bon county, and a very argeeable gentle
man, testified that he was a delegate to
the league convention, and on Friday
night from 9 to 11 o'clock he was at his
brother's house, and would undoubtedly
have known if his brother waj engaged
in any evil plaas at that time.
Mr. Ury of Ft. Scott was taken to the
county attorney's office yesterday by
United States Attorney W. C. Perry, and
introduced to Mr. Safford. The story of
Mr. Ury is said to have impressed him
greatly, and to-day at 3 o'clock after a
two days examination he was discharged.
