fve been very much interested o.
late In the revelation of schemes for
retailing youth, as called forth by the
gold Eagle prize offered by the page of
the Recorder which this paragraph is
designed to adorn, or bemish, as you
will. The little schemes have been
amusing, and they have assumed pa
thetic aspect in way, because they are
all SO innocently feminine and unoD-
trusl7e and philosophical, and none of
them has been written by woman
who cares a fig whether she looks
old or not. But l liked the tone of
them. 1t was honest. abe happy"
writes one of the contestants for
the Prize; "be good" suggests another;
"be meek" 'De cOntented," "bathe
ofteh," love your neighbour" "agree
Withiy0ur adversary" "be uncOmplain-
ing.a and a lot OF other like suggestions,
which the woman who really makes a
point of keeping young would smile at.
Take this list of recipes, and consult
the massage doctor and the Turkish
bath proprietor and the Delsartean
apostle and other physical culture en-
thusihStS, and they will tell you these
gentle hOmespuu suggestions are not
WORTH a farthing. Then carry them to
the nlilliner and the mOdlste, and they
will hugh at you.
However. | am on the side of the hon
est suggestions, for after all, sisters,
what lOes it matter anyway about this
growing old? You haven't lived this
long Without knowing that old women
are tha fashion. What is this they say
of uS? "A woman is as old as she
loOks?' That's it, But some of us
look oder than what we are. In that
case the balance is in our favor, be-
cause, don't you see, if when you are
forty you look fifty, why, then, you
have ten years start of yourself. Fifty
years denotes degree Of experience
and wisdom not attained at forty. Now,
then, If you possess it at forty, when
you are fifty you will be just ten years
in advance of yourself. See?
The Women's Council, which con-
veens in Chicago the 18th inst. is in

Women don't mind the gray hair like

A VERY STRANGE TREE.
It Looks Very Much Like a HUI

~ AOOhS very MuCn AlhS q n u
man Hand Protruding From the
Ground.
Philadelphia Inquirer.
Up on the east side of North Seventh
street, about midway between Poplar
street and Girard avenue, stands a
strikingly curious tree. which attracts
the attention of every pasSer-by. 1t
stands just in front of a stable yard,
and the employees of the place say
that dozens of people come to them
every week and make remarks or ask
questions about the strange growth.
From the thickness of the growth at the
base, the tree is prsbably about forty
years old, but its branches and foliage
are new and fresh. and look as though
they were but the growth of year or
two. The trunk runs straight from the
ground to a height of fifteen feet.
Above this, for short distance, is a
thick, glObular mass of foliage, the
leaves appearing to grow directly out of
the wood. Above this growth run up
three thick stalks of stumps.siX or eight
feet high, also covered with a dense,
close mass of foliage. When the tree
is viewed from the north side it pre-
sents startling resemblance to giant
human hand protruding from the earth.

MARRYING BY WHOLESALE.
Two ShipIoads OF Girls Seek Hus-
bands in Puget Sound.

Thirty years ago the settlers around
Puget Sound were lumbermen from
Maine and the provinces. Life was
hard, and there was not half dozen
women in the country. A pioneer
named Mercer, who had come from
Massachusetts,, knew that there
were plenty OF spare girls in
that state, and so he went back to B0s-
ton, chartered ship, advertised for
girls, and set forth the advantages of
Puget sound so strongly that he secured
over sixty girls. The six months yoy-
age was made safely, and when the ship
arrived at Port Townsend the news
quickly spread that MERGERS girls were
coming. When Seattle was reached the
wharf was crowded with men, and there
was quite a demonstration.
CourtShps at once began, but they
were short, for everybody meant bust
ness. Soon all the girls were married,
and second ship load WAS sent out
with equally satisfactory results. Some
of the wealthiest and most representa-
tive women of Seattle and Olympia to-
day are these same plucky New Eng
landers: and, although many Of them
are now grandmothers, the old settlers
can never be brought to speak Of them
except as ''the Mercer girls"

Drying Sheets and Table Cloths

1t is good plan, always considered,
of course, whether time and strength
will allow, to take linen sheets and
table cloths from the line when about
half dry, shake them and smooth them
out, fold them once over and hang them
over the line without any stretching or
pulling. A couple of pins at little dis
lance from either edge will keep them
in place. This gives more line room,
which is often greatly needed and al
lows the pieces to dry in much better
shape.
Many Iaundresses seem to think that
clothes may be flung on the line IN any
way whatever, wrinkled, folded Or
twisted, as the case may be; but this
means just so much additional work
when ironing day comes. Things that
are done right i'll the first place save
much labor and perpleXity, as we'll as
not little wear and tear Of the articles
themselves.

resent the three middle fingers. and
upon either side of these can easily be
seen CONGREGATIONS of the surrounding
foliage which correspond with the little
finger and thumb.
The explanation of the phenomenon
is curious one. The tree was once
full-grown and vigorous, but was at
tackled by blight or some other dis
ease, and the dead trunk was pruned
down to its present proportions, where
upon the present new growth developed.
