Trees.

Few people realize how dependent
various people are upon trees. Here
we build our houses of wood, make
ships and various things from it, but in
the South the trees, as the palms Of dif-
ferent kinds supply not only wood, but
food. Thus the cocoa palms supply
water in dry arid wastes, also wine and
vinegar The blossom is eaten as q
cabbage the fruit is good, and from
it is extracted an oil that supplies peo-
pie with light Then there IL what is
called the COW tree. The natives drink
the nutritious milk in great quantities
in South America. The tree needs
only to be gashed and the white fluid
pours out in stream. Quite similar is
what is known as the travellers tree of
Madagascar. 1t is very striking in ap.
pea,ance, the broad leaves growing up
ward. instead OF falling down. If the
base of one of the big leaves is cut
stream of water flows out, so that a
single tree will provide a refreshing
drauqht for number Of men. Com
paratively few know that cork comes
from trees In Florida our orange
planters have to wait fifteen years, and
after that a tree is not touched for ten
years or more but the older tree is
the more cork it gives, though it is not
of so fine a quality. The cork is bark,
and YOU would think it would destry
the trees to remove the bark. They
flourish, however, and attain an age
under this treatment of nearly two hun
dred years. One Of the strongest trees
is the African Caob. You have pro-
badly heard that salamanders can pass
through fire. Well this tree is regu-
lar saamander, fire having no effect
upon it. | have seen one that was
twenty-eight feet in diameter, and
eighty-seven feet IN circumference, and
to show their vitality, after they are
sometimes unrooted they continue to
grow, though they have ouly a few
roots still fastened in the ground. In
some localities they are used as houses
by the natives, the interiors being hol-
lowed out, and fitted for the conven-
fence of the family Waverly.

How Girls Grow Plump.

The gentle Olive Harper tells how
girls aud women grow plump aud full
They go in most decidedly for hygiene,
she says, and they take their baths and
exercise like prize fighters, and science,
too, comes in little in the shape of
two or three parties who get well paid
for directing them how to add or di-
miuish their avoirdupois. Exercise
and strict adherence to Banting's
preceps are ordered for reducing, and
baths of-What do you think 7 Baths
of cod-liver oil and Banting again, are
given for the purpose of adding to ones
weight .
We asked one young lady how it
had effected her, and she said that the
smell of the oil was well nigh insup-
portable at first, but now she only
takes it at night, and then gets into
bed and holds a strongly perfumed
handkerchief to her nose till she goes
TO sleep. In the morning she takes a
perfumed and very soapy warm bath,
and that ends it until night again, and
she AYERS that she has gained fifteen
pounds in four weeks. ..
When we asked her if it was not
rather expensive, she laughed and said
"Well, little, but then not so much
so Ms cosmetics, and really feel strong
er and better than have for years. /
am willing TO pay all | do, you know.
l,don't, of course, use over two quarts
at bath. 1t is absorbed, l suppose.
TIC tell the truth, my newly gained
weight has cost me, with the advice,
about $40 pound. That isn't so very
dear, now, is it p And we thought it
wasn't.

The Habit of Shaping Our World into Our
Own Image N

A mans world is pretty much what
the man himself makes it. 1t is true
in psychology that what the mind itself
contributes to the making OF a concep-
ton is least as important as what the
outer world supplies for that concep-
