Fort Keouh, Mont., August 17. —
Now that the dread scourge yellow
fever has again made its appearance
in our country and bids fair to be-
come an epidemic, 1 would like to call
attention to the eucalyptus, or, as it
is best know, "The fever tree." For
one I may say 1 believe strangely in
its virtues und its power to dry up
miasmas and drive away fever. In
proof of its usefulness 1 would ask
those interested to read the following
evidences and lmtory of the eucalyp-
tus:

gaged in planting the eucalyptus, or

bitants of that city were afflicted.

country some accounts of it may not
be uninteresting.

the City (ioverument paying at the
rate of 10 cents for each tree planted.
It lias already been proven beyond
question that thin tree, when full
grown, absorbs or rather kills, the
miasmus in all malarial and fever
ridden districts wherever planted. It
is also believed by scientists and many
medical experts that it will prove a
safeguard against the spread of yellow
fever, as it has been seen that since
these trees have been planted
in the City of New Orleans yellow
fever has not become epidemic in that
usually yellow-fever section."
It is reported that a very unhealthy

century, and noble specimens of it are1
now growing in the public gardens of
Nice, Cannes, llyeres, and Algiers.
Its medicinal qualities did not, how-
ever, becomo known until about thir-
ty years ago. The Spaniards first dis-
covered that it was a preventive of
fever, and the colonists of Tasmania
used its leaves for a number of pur-
poses. It was not until 1800 that its
full power became known, and as a
hygienic measure it was introduced
into the Spanish realm as an antisep
tic. The people of Valenoia were
suffering from malaria fever, eucalyp-
tus trees were p'auted about the city,
and a marked improvement in the
healthfulneBB of the locality followed.
So popular did it become that the
trees had to be guarded, the inhabit-
ants stealing the loaves every oppor
tunity thov had to make adecoclion to
drink. The Spaniard! named the
euoelyptuH the fever tree, and soon
aftor it was introduced into Algeria.
It next traveled lo the Capo of Good
Hope, Corsica, Sicily, South America
and California.
(iaribaldi's attempt to introduce it
into Uome was not entirely new; many
year<4 ago a few dozeu specimens were
planted about the walls, and although
nearly all the trees lived but few of
them aro vigorous. After u trial of
many vean in Southern France it has
failed to become hardy, or suck up
and destroy the poisonous vapors of
the iwampe in which it wau pUated.
The Trappist monks of In* Tre-
Fontane set out larga plantations of
eucalyptus trees and have tended
thorn with the utmost care. This
may be fairly looked up as a decisive
experiment. The plaoe known as
Tre Foil tan e lies somo miles eouth of
Rome, and is tho seat of a mugnili
cent monastery. It* climate, once
healthv in conseqnanoe of thedfstruc
lion of all tiie timber in the vicinity,
has become so dcadlv that notwith
standing its splendid buildings, rich
mosaios, marbles, its freaooes, the
place is wholly deserted during the
summer months. To live tlioro in
July, Juuo and August is said to bo
almost certain death.

The record of the emalyntns tree

exMlient. The districts in which it
la indigenous are healthy, and those
into wuioh it has been introduced
and thriven have become healthy. A
few miles from Algiers is a farm
whioh was once noted for itc deadly
riveis. Life on it in tho snmmor
months was almost impossible. In
the year 1H07 the owners planted
I,800 Euoalyutus trees,and they grew
nine feet in thirteen months au<
a single ease of fover appeared;
has there been any fever there since.
Now, if the Eucalyptus will make the
sickly oiimate of the Fontane healthy,
it can safely bo relied ou as an anti
septic and disinfectant, and I advise
those curious in suoli matters to watch
the success of the Trappist monks in
its cultivation.
Near Constantino, Algeria, there
wcro vast swamps, never dry even in
the hottest months, and prospective
of violent neriodic fevers. About
II,000 Eucalyptus trees wero planted

lteferriug to our own country,plant-
ers havo met with the most wonderful
success in cultivating it on the Pacific
coast. One gentleman, who planted
several thousand trees at Wilmington,
California, says: "When set out they
wero only from three to five inches in
height, and in one year they grew 0
and 8 feet high."
But not only lias the Eucalyptus
tree become u favorite in California
for its well-known medicinal proper-
ties, but it grows so fast and to such an
enormous si%6 that it is uow being
planted for wood.
Mr. J. II. Byers, who had a farm
near the town of Colusu, ou tho west
bank of tho Sacramento Itiver, plant-
ed 50,000 Eucalyptus of the narrow-
leaved, iron harked variety, whioh lie
intends growing as an orchard, the
troes being set out about ten feet apart.
His reason, lie says,for planting iron-
bark instead of gum tree—i. e., bluo
gum—is that they stand the frost bet-
ter.
While 1 was at San Francisco, Mr.
W. A. Matthews came down from Sa-
cramento to purchase 50,000 Eucalyp
tus plants of tho iron-bark variety,
which ho said he was going to plant
ou about 100 acres of land that has
never been broken.
lie said he would grow cottou the
first year between the rows of trees
and the second year sugar beets, af-
ter which tho trees would be grown
alone, as they would probably cast
too much shade for the successful cul
tivation of crons with thom. Mr.
Matthews raised 50,000 trees in one
season eight inches high, from two
and a half pounds of seed gathered
from trees grown in Oakland, Califor
nia. This is quite important, as it
proves that the native California
seed will germinato quite as readily
as the imported article. He used ou
oue piece of land equal quantities of
imported and California seed and said
ho found the result so much in favor
of the California seed tliuf herpafter
he would use no other kind.

It is unnecessary to discuss further
the merits of tho eucalyptus tree.
The evidenco already adduoed i* so
overwhelming in its favor that it must
ooinmeud itself strongly to the favor
of our farmers and tree growers. It
should be given a full and fair trial
iu all tho States. I think it would
thrive luxuriantly in the South; it
should bo planted at once in all our
fover and aguo districts, and if it will
suck up and dissipate tho poisonous
vapors lurkiug in tho swamps of Ar-
kansas and other Southern States, it
will do a service for America worth
million* of dollars, ami alleviate much
suflering. as well us save many valua-
ble lives. Ert us by all moans give
the Eucalyptus a fair trial.
Tho Wilmington /■'«/(• c/k/k reports
that "Col. I). It. Wilson planted a
parlt of IZ,<MM) Eucalyptus trees on
the '20th of March, 1H7A. Tho
trees when sot out were from four to
six inches in height, ami many of
the lower branches in a year grew
over four foot in length. It is no
exaggeration to say that thosi trues
have grown four feet in live months.
We have similar instances of the ex-
traordinary growth of the eucalyptus
in Han Diego. '
The Euoalyyptus liae a tall, red-
dish, aluooth stem, with ragged,
rheumatism, and the malaria inci-
dent to the country. The flower of
the Eucalyptus tribe is very like the
myrtle tlowcr, is full of honey, and
attracts a multitude 9f flies,bees, etc.,
and the birds naturally follow, foi
they find not only food but thick,
warm, leafy cover in winter, and
shelter from the burning sun in sum-
mer.
Finally, my opinion is that the cul-
tivation of the Eucalyptus tree will
prove a powerful agency in there claim-
ing of the uninhabitable malarious rig-
ions of our Southern and Southwestern
States. I believe that there is no
disease to which flesh is heir that has
not an antidote in some root, plant,
herb or tree, reared by God's hand
for that purpose. All that is required
is the intelligence of man to find out
the antidote and apply it; and al-
though it would require more than
human mind to discover and deter-
mine tho remedies for all diseases, yet
by patient study and experiments we
may learn much, and among other
things how to prevent yellow fever.
Philosophy of Advertising.
In liia address to the editors of Iu
diana, at their lecent meeting at Fort
Wayne, Col. Pierce of Chicago, pre-
Bonted the following thoughts with
reference to advertising whioh arc
worth remembering. He said:
"And in presenting a beautiful
sheet typographically, one should re
member the advertiser as well as the
readers. A man likes to have his
advertisement pleasing to look upon,
catching the eye and indicative gen-
erally of the advertiser. This class of
patrons arc so important to buccibs
that they should receive every enctur
agement. Particularly should they
be impiessed with the desirability of
keeping thoir wares before tli* public.
A man never realizes the full bene-
fits of advertising until he has placed
tho matter before the saino people
fifty or a hundred times. The first
advertisement is good, but tho one
hundredth is worth more than live
hundred times as much us tho first.
Some one has s nd that the
First time a man looks at an ad-
vertisement he does not see it.
The second time he does not notice
it.
The third third time ho is dimly
conscious of it.
The fourth time he faintly remem-
bers something of the kind before.
The fifth time ho half reads it.
The sixth time he turn* up his uoso
at it.
Tho seventh time he throws the
paner down impatiently.
The eighth time he ejaculates
"There's the confounded thing
again."
The ninth time he wonders if tlioro
is anything in it.
Tho tenth time he thinks it might
possibly suitsomobody rise's case.
The eleventh time ho thinks he will
ask his neighbor if he has tried it, or
knows anything about it.
The twelfth time lie wonders if the
advertiser can make it pay.
The thirteenth time lie rather thinks
it mii|it bo a good thing.
Tho fourteenth time ho happens to
think it is just the thing he wanted.
The fifteenth time ho for a long
times reiolvos to try it as soon as he
can afford it.
The sixteenth time he oxaminos
tho address carefully and makes a
memorandum of it>
The seventeenth time ho is tanta
lined to think he is hardly able to af-
ford it..
Tho eighteenth time he sees how
much in need ho is of that particular
articla.
Tho nineteenth time ho counts his
money to see how much lie would
have left if he bought it.
Tho twentieth timo ho rushes frau
tically forth aud buys it.
Souk philosopher has said that "no
our eyes upward, you can see that

to the lascivious pleasing of a whole
colony of telephone wires.

the merry sunshine with his hat in his

tically kicking his feet into the air,
in desperate efforts to get the water
out of hiiears; or when you see him
holding a warm stone to his ear for
tho same purpose, it is a true sign
that you may think of that boy, by
and by, standing speechless when his
mother asks him how his shirt came

disheveled nml the two upper buttons

and his necktie twisted awry, and a
Buspicious-lookiug Hush, and two or
three scratches adorning his face, you
will know that he was 'kep in,'
after school, and was taunted for the
same by another boy when he came
out ; and if you want to know the
re t of it, it will not be necessary to
go into particulars, but just ask him
"which whipped?" If a joyous look
of triumph dances in his (xultant
eyes, you can know that just around
the corner you can find a boy
with a bleeding iioee ond'a generally
demoralized facade. But if the lad
you question looks downcast, multis
