Formation of Strong Wood.

a knowledge of the strength and dura-
bility of timber as influenced by the con-
ditions under which the same was made
is of great Importance. 1t would greatly
advance forest tree culture if we only
knew the most suitable conditions for
making the best ash, oak and a score of
other woods. The position trees occupy
in the wild state is not always guide in
making plantations. Because a tree
grows upon a rocky cliff, it is no reason
why it would not thrive in rich soil. Is
it true that the more quickly wood is
formed the stronger it is? When we look
at the end of a log it is seen to be made
up of a number of rings. These rings
are caused by unequal growth during
each season. A comparatively porous
layer is made during the rapid growth of
early summer, followed by a more dense
portion later in the season. 1t would
seem that the more rapid the growth,
other things being equal, the more por-
Gus would be the product.

Frightened by the Epidemic

She was timid, shrinking creature

The old physician looked at her
agitated face and gravely responded !:
"Once upon time, my dear madam,
a certain city built high, thick stone
wall about it. A six-footer of gate
keeper, as hard hearted as flint was
put ON guard with instructions to let
no one in except on business. One
day along came stranger for admis-
sion.
"'You can't come in said the gate
keeper
"The stranger civilly presented his
card and represented that his business
was urgent. The gatekeeper looked at
the card. 1t read Mr.. Cholera
"I suppose I'll have to let you in
said the gatekeeper. How many of
our people do you want ~
ooh, hundred will do said Mr..
Cholera, pleasantly.
"Will you promise to take no more ?
asked the gatekeeper.
Sure replied the visitor, and the
guard let him in.
"When Mr.. Cholera came to take
his departure the gatekeeper took him
to task.
"'See here, Mr.. Choler,' he said
'How's this =? You promised to take
only one hundred Of our people and
you've taken full one thousandY
Ono replied Mr.. Cholera. I've
taken just the number promised
But at least a thousand are going
with you

for this purpose.

How Scotland was Saved

Little Minnie, in her eagerness after
flowers, had wounded her hand on a
sharp prickly thistle. This made her
cry with pain at first and pout with
vexation afterward.
81 do wish there was no such thing
as a thistle in this world,'' she said,
pettishly.
"And yet the Scottish nation think
so much of it that they have engraved
it on the national arms said her
mother.
at is the last flower | should pick
out" said Minnie, 81 am sure they
could have found a great many nicer
ones, even among the weeds"
"But this thistle did them such good
service over" said her mother, "that
they learned to esteem it very highly
One time the Danes invaded Scotland
and they prepared to make a night
attack on sleeping garrison. So they
crept along barefooted as still as pos
sible, until they were almost ON the
spot. Just at that moment barefooted
soldier stepped on a great thistle, and
the hurt made him utter sharp, shrill
cry of pain. The sound awoke the
sleepers, and each man sprang to bis
arms. They fought with great bravery
and the invaders were driven back with
much loss. So you see, the thistle
saved Scotland, and ever since it ha
been placed ON their seals as theil
national flower"
"Well, | never could suspect tina
so small thing as a thistle could saw
a nation" said Minnie, thoughtfully.-

Gle did not remember at the dinner
party. His knife went up to his mouth
dozen times. Next day, when the
family was dining alone, the old judge
detected his youngest son, Frank, with
his knife at his lips
Eating with your knife, sir? Leave

"Really, papa, think you are too
hard on poor Frank" said Mrs. Dewey
as the little fellow left the table. The
faces of the elder boys and the grown
up daughters showed that they agreed
with their mother.
"He ate with his knife" growled the
old man.

Mrs. Dwery, severely.

Judge. "Don't l know it? l eat with

Have You Saved the ManP

A few years ago a homeward-bound
vessel was wrecked on the coast of
England. The life-boat was launched,
and away the men went, and were a
long while at sea. Darkness set in,
but the people on the coast lighted
great fires so that the life-boat might
be guided on its return to shore After
awhile they saw it returning, and a
great strong man by the name Of John
Holden, who was on the coast, cried
aloud to the captain of the life boat;
eli hi! have you saved the men ?"
The captain answered, CAY, ay, have
saved the men" and all hearts were
filled with gladness.
But when they reached the coast it
was found that one man aUas left cljnging
to the mast ! "Why did you not save
him ?" said Holden. Because we were
exhausted, said the captain, "and we
should all have persisted if we had re-
manned another five minutes attempt
ing to save one man." But you will
go back 70 the rescue ?" They said
they had not the strength. the storm
was so fierce.
Holden threw himself on the single,
and lifted up prayer to God. When
he had ceased praying, six men, were
preparing to start, when the good old
mother of John Holden threw her
arms around his neck and said /:
"John you must not 60. What can
l do if you perish -? You know your
father was drowned at sea, and it is
just two years since your brother
William left we have not heard from
him since. No doubt he, too, has
persisted. John, what shall | do if you
perish p
John said, "Mother, God has put it
in my heart to go, and if | perish he
will take care of you"
And away he went and after awhile
the life-boat returned.
Hi hi /! John, have you saved the
man ?"
John answered in a trumpet voice,

CUPID,s DECADENCE,

In ancient days, when all was young,
And Love and Hope were rife,
Don Cupid fed on rustic fare,
And lived a country life.
He rose betimes at break of day,
And round the country harried:
Upstirring hearts that were unwed,
And soothing down the married.
But then, on wider mischief bent,
He HE'D him to the city;
And finding much to suit his taste,
He stayed there-more's the pity.
Men built him there golden house,
Delight with golden stars
They Toasted him on golden grain,
And VINE in golden jars.
They draped his pretty nakedness
In richest cloth of gold,
And set him up in business,
Where Love was bought and Sold
And thus he led city life,
Forgetting his nativity;
Since then he's gone from bad to worse,
From Cupid to cupidity.
