A Writer Contends that the Stepmother D
a Mnch-Abus.d Character,
IJow . many ;books do we 'dill take rep
in which the plot turas, on t cruel Ma-
chinations of a stepmother. and surely
.writers ought to be wiser now. They
make the vers name hateful; it seems to:
rind' with unkindness and injustice, and
far be it from us to say that the proto-
type is nowhere to he farted. Cold-
heartedness and oppre.s;ton toward the
children of one wito has preceded her
in heart and home are leo doubt at times
to be met with, but cannot many home -
holds tell another tale—a tale of love
and gentleness, and mutual affection
and peace? And cannot, too, somehontes
tell a third story, where the sufferer is
the one who is looked on as an inter-
loper? Are there* not cases where a man
whose hearth has been early desolated,
and who is left with little ones whom he
cannot look after, with a heart still
yearning for affection, bring homesolne
warm-hearted girl, ready to pour out no
stutters measure of love on the mother-
h'.; ones; and what du he and she find
on settliagdoiyn to theirilailylife? That
foolish relatives or ignorant servants
have already poisoned, the baby mind
against their second mother, and that
all ht•r efforts to win their afffection and
trust are blighted by the unholy imine
ence that has been wielded. And when
other little children come, too often, ins
stead of being welcomed( with brotherly
or sisterly love, they are greeted with
feeling; of bitterness and jealousy. *'Tor:
is this only so when the children, na-
turaily perhaps, have a feeling that they
may be deprived by a stranger of part
of their birthright Cases there are
where hundreds have been added to the
income by such marriage—hundreds not
even settled on the woman who brought
them to a comparatively poor house-
hold; and yet she was set aside as a
**nobody," treated with cold insult by
stepchildren. and undefended by her
husbaud. We might tell of iek-beds
watched with all a mothers devotion;
of dying hours soothed with all antoth:
er'e faithful self forgetfulness; of the
young spirit ,:inking tD the grave, cling•
leg with fond affection to the represent-
ative of that real parent whom it was
Loon to greet in the spirit land; and we
turn with just anger from pictures laid
before us as false as tliee are ill-jutfged.
Into how many households meat the
second mother bo brought. or they could
never hold to^.!ther? flow mane fans-
ilies most consist of the children of the
one father, but of two =there; and is
it well that young mind, should be pre-
judiet?d against a state of things in so
many cruses sa. necessity. But in the nee
el orbs; tale a youthful hero or heroine
is the more interesting. the more he or
she sulli'rs under the domestic roof, and
that suQerin"r is supposed to be moat
easily wrought by the "stepmother." --
Let us hope that a truer view will be
taken of this relatdonship; that the vul-
gar feeling with regard to it (a feeling
showing itself so plainly in some lot:al:
ities that the mune of stepmother is
vee to the most painful thing on the
finger, sometimes called a hater -nail)
may ere long pass away- from amongst
us; and that, as at last the long -despised
"old maid" is meeting with justice and
kindly judgment, the same may be meted
with no stinting hand to the often long-
suffering
ongsuffering and much -slandered "step-
mother.
Why the Prairies are Trceol..ss.
The salvation of the great new prai-
rie empire depends in great measure
on the feasibility of cultivating forests
to serve its farmers as windbreaks. The
potency of a grove of leafless trees in
shielding one from the winter wind is
hardly credible. Its influence on the
open prairie reaches !rouses it mile dis-
taut. The laws of all the northwest.
ern states favor the plstntiter of forest
trees, and the subject einpntv's not a
little of the rattling rice+t+t"•:e t•f their
numerous orators. The eta dienep of
these laws was never questioned until
recently. .A. few months since a pro-
fessor of Harvard university after ten
years of study pronounced` these laws
useless and unscientific. The learned
professor announced that trees will
grow where they ought to grow and
willnot grow where they ought not to
grow; that the. great inland prairie
lacks trees because it bas not a large
enough rainfall to support them, and
that the laws encouraging arboricul-
ture will be futile. In traveling through
western Minnesota we explained this
theory with nolfttle pride to our fellow-
traveler, a teamster. The teamster
made no reply. except to quicken the
pulse of his pipe. At length, having
made.sure that he had smoked it to the
bottom of its socket, he drew the pipe
from his mouth and pointed its handle
toward a clump of native trees that
skirted one side of a large mud lake.
"Do you notice," he asked, "on which
side of the lake those trees stand?":
"The southeast?" "Well; that settles
it." . There are, as he afterward , ex
plained, hundreds of these lakes dot
ting the prairie land. of Minnesota.
Most of the lakes on their southeastern
shores have clusters of forest trees.
The reason of this is not far to seek.
There are two winds there prevalent
the northwestern and southeastern.
The southeast wind is the rain -bringer.
Tho northwest is cold and dry. The
prairie fires are spread by. the north-
west, never by the southeast wind.
When the prairie fires swept over the
prairie they burned the young trees on
all sides of the lake except the south -
`eastern, which was sheltered by the
water, There could be no more con-
cursive proof of the .power of the' prairie
fires to 'destroy . the growth of forests.
even in soil favorable to their produc-
tion. , Massachusetts may well be proud
of the Wealth and leisure that enables
her to secure astute professors to elab-
orate theories that a teamster can ex-
plode between two miffs of his pipe.

river banks all along this part of the
coast. The most remarkable work of
this kind is on the south bank of Spruce
Creek—an estuary of the Iialifax. Its
base has a diameter of 100 feet. tend it

There is nothing to indicant the age of
the shell mound's or of the earth mounds
on Spruce Creek —no timber growths of
sufficient size to record the Passage of
the centuries. But,on the Lake Flirt
works the ease is iflertent. On the
erects of these artificial upheavals the
live oak is growing in luxuriance. ---
While the age of the largest specimens
of these trees cannot accurately be de-
termined, it is safe to say they are from
700 to 1,000 years old. And they have
had germination and continuous life
since the earth was • disturbed by the
hand of man. America is called the
new world, and Florida is the newest
part of it, for the polyp has not yet
ceased his work of creation here. And
yet it is of such great age that many of
the important events of the old world.'s
history are recent when compared with
what we know has happenetlrn the new.

"Electricity is an element elusive
