IT is sometimes said that the branches
of very old trees are, properly speak
ing, roots, and that it planted upside
down the trees would flourish. Herr
Kny, German botanist, has recently
investigated the matter by planting
vines and ivy with both ends in the
ground, and subsequently cutting them
at the arch. The experiments were
fairly successful, though not in every
instance, and Kerr Kny intends to con
tinue them with other plants and
trees, such as willows, pOplars and
roses.

Practical Joking in the Army.

The bump OF fun Is exceedingly well
developed in the average soldier Of the
regular army. They are constantly on
the lookout to play some pranks on their
comrades, and when found out Or dis
covered it seldom, if ever, results In
row. for all concerned take it good
naturally and wait their time to pay
back in turn.
One Sergeant sent a raw, verdant
recruit out on a dark, stormy night with
a lantern to see what time it was by the
sun dial. The poor fellow stood in the
rain for half an hour, and then it sud
denly dawned upon him that ne was
being made fool Of. The next tins
dress parade was formed the recruit GOT

.sNothing, sir, " answered the frightened
Sergeant. Dicipline was lost for

be heard a litter of merriment.
The victim saw there was something
wrong, and removing his hat for
moment, he discovered the feather. No
more jokes were played on that recruit

HereditY Of Myopia.

far more serious than the acquired form,
from which it is distinguished BY its

more frequently followed by other com

from the father to the daughter. ano

Money Of the Normons.

If gu 20 into the principal Office OF
the 1thing House, says a salt Lake City
lette to the Gl05e Dealocrat, You willsee
ia young man handling what koks
likenoney. He IS behind counter and
the .ounter is protected by high rail
inp The man glances through the
widow, then looks down at the bills,
nj goes on thumbing them like bank
Her. He goes to and from a big safe
arriving bundles done up just as bills are,
with little bands of brown paper pinned
about them. Sometimes the young man
doesn't stop to count, but takes the
on the brown slip as correct and
,asses out the bundle. This is Mormon
money. It IS a tithing script. 1t is
lsed to facilitate the handling Of the
yrain and hay and live stock and produce
which come in. If you pick up one of
.hese bills you will find it very much like
. bank note in its appearance. In one
upper corner is the number of the bill.
In the lower left-hand corner is the in
noe signo of Mormonism, bee hive
The face of the bill reads: General
Tithine Storehouse. Good only for
and Produce at the General

the Presiding Bishop. On the back Is

done. The bills vary in color. There
are greenbacks for one department of the
Tithing House, brownbacks for another,

Church is able to create a market fol
considerable quantities of the tithing.
This scrip is given out in dispensing
charity. 1t is used in paying for work
on the temple so far as the workmen can
make use of it. Employees Of the Tith-

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Men make laws; women make man
ners.
Remorse is the mother of good resOlu-
tons.
Envy hurts you more than it does the
man you envy.
It is the summit Of humility to bear
the imputation of pride.
With the great our thoughts and man
ners easily become great.
Amother's love, in a degree, sanctiies
the most worthless offspring.
To have what we want is riches, but to
be able to do without it is power.
There is nothing in life so earnestly to
be sought as character and probity.
A house is no home unless it contains
food and fire for the mind as well as the
body.
Thereare those who never reason on
what they should DO, but on what they
have done.
Can man or woman choose duties2 No
more than they can choose their birth
place, c. their father and mother.
Who is wisel He that learns from
everyone. Who is POWERFUL He that
governs his passions. Who is rieha He
that is content.
An egotist will always speak of him
self, either in praise or in censure; but
modest man ever sEdns making him
self the subject Of his conversation
Women never truly command till they
have given their promise to obey, and
they are never in more danger of being
made slaves than when the men are at
their feet.
Nothing binders the constant agree
ment Of people who live together but
vanity and selfshness. Let the spirit of
humility and benevolence prevail, End
discord and disagreement would be ban
ished from the household.
Yielding utterly to the inner impulse
of conscience gives an intelligent power,
a moral insight, a capacity of expression,
a freshness, an incisiveness of phrase en-
tirely unobtainable by mere will, or by
any method of intellectual prudence.

Not "Stuek Up"

Among the officers in the Northern
army of the Civil War no one was gruffer,
drawer or more beloved by his men thar
General Stannard, who commanded g
Vermont Brigade. He was always en-
ragged by any attempt of the men whom
he commanded to steal, or eforage, " as
as they called it, on private property.
A private named Hicks, on the marcl
to Gettysburg, remarked, chuckling, to
companion, that there was 'nothin,
stuck up about old Stannard. He was
not ashamed to converse socially with 3
puvatel"
elias he been talking to youl VIVA
did he sayl"
"Told me if l didn't get out of then
cherry trees, he'd kill mel"
Another instance of Stannard's keel
watchfulness IS given by one of his sol
diers. On the march to Frederick, tn,
General knew that an attack was to b.
made on the regiment in few minutes
The men were furnishing with thirst, anc
coming to a well wished to stop and fiji
their canteens. Stannard set guard
over it and forbade them to break ranks
A certain Lieutenant Brown, who had
a wounded comrade, disobeyed the order
and going to the well, at the risk of his
life, brought his friend some water.
General Stannard put him under arrest
and took his sword from him.
When the regiment reached Gettys
burg, Brown forseeing a fierce conflict
asked the General to suffer him to carr,
his sword for the day, to be returned Al
night 1t had, however, been sent with
the baggage to the rear. Brown pro
cured tomahawk and carried it into
the battle, and did such good service
that General Stannard at night, though
badly wounded, sent for him, gave nm
his own sword, and told him he richly
deserved to carry it.-Kouth's Compaa-
ion.

Points for Husbands.

| Do not Jest with your wife upon a
subject in which there is danger Of
wounding her feelings Remember that
she treasures every word you utter
though YOU never think of it again, says
the Domestic Monthly. Do not speak of
some virtue in another mans wife to re
mind your own of a fault Do not re
proach your wife with personal defects,
for, if she has sensibility, you inhict q
wound difficult to heal. Do not treat
your wife with inattention in company
Do not upbraid her in the presence of a
third person, nor entertain her with
praising the beauty and accomplishments
of other women Do not be stern and
silent in your house, and remarkable for
sociability elsewhere. Remember that
your wife has as much need of recreation
as yourself, and devote a portion, at
least, of your leisure hours to such So
ciety and amusements as she may Join
BY so doing you will secure her smiles
and increase her affection. Do not, being
too exact in pecuniary matters, make
your wife feel her dependence upon
bounty. It tends to lessen her dignity
of character and does not increase her
esteem for you. If she is a sensible
woman she should be acquainted with
your business and know your income,
that she may regulate her household ex-
penses accordingly. Do not withhold
this knowledge in order to cover you-
own extfs7ag5n Women have kea
perception. Be sure she will discosr
your selfsnness, and, though no woris
spoken. from that moment her respects
lessened and her confidence diminishd
pride wounded, and thousand, perhPs

Adverse criticism has been pronounscd
upon The pneumatic guns with which The
United States man-of-war Vesuvius is
supplied. The objections which have
been advanced by American and foreign
naval officers are that ship trusting TO
guns of this type could be riddIed a,d
sunk by modern high power riied ortli-
nance before it could get within range;
that the gun is too bulky and cumb,,r-
some for use on board Of ship, and tfat
accuracy of fire cannot be depended upon
in sea way. An exhaustive trial, how
ever, will be made before undertaking the
construction of another dynamite cruiser.
These charges against the utility of the
gun on shipboard viii not stand against
its use on shore, where most Of the OBJ
jections viii be overcome by the availa-
biity Of space.
