The prairie crab or native apple (Pyrus coro- naria) is hardiy known even in fits own locality, but it is one of the most beautiful trees in blossom that can be found anywhere. It thrives almost anywhere that a common apple tree will grow. The Kentucky coffee tree is a beautiful and curious species which will grow in almost all parts of the country, but which thousands of honest people have never seen. This list is by no means complete, It Is intended only to be suggestive, In the way of shrubs—which ought to be planted even more freely than irees on the school grounds—the op- portunity for happy selections is even greater. There are dogwoods, bar- berries, buffalo berries, native roses, and other sorts galore, some of which can be collected In every neighbor- hood, and all of which can be easily secured through the plant dealers. These things ought to be on the grounds of every school, especially every rural school; and Arbor Day Is the day to put them there. The Country Gentleman.

Its marble shaft rises, in all the dignity of unadorned simplicity, to the height of 555 feet. The base of the shaft is fifty-five feet square, and it gradually tapers, until at the 500-foot point it has diminished to less than thirty-five feet.
