Ounce Culture.

Ounces, like forest trees, need but lit
tie training. During the first two years
remove branches that are likely to in
terfere or cross, for all branches then
will be main branches in time and
will seriously interfere if allowed to
cross or touch each other. After that the
trees will nearly take care of them
selves, as far as training is concerncl.
Let them head now and remain so, for
ounces are of a dwarf habit. If the
head is formed within a foot of the
ground, it will not be too low. The best
tool for cu~ltivating is a disk or cutaway
harrow. These tools reach beyond the
team and under the branches of the
trees, thus stirring the soil and keeping
down the weeds under the trees. A plow
is not very satisfactory. 1t cannot be
used under the trees without danger of
barking them. 1t does not leave the
ground level and must be followed by
some other tools to smooth down the
ridges. The other tools mentioned do
not throw dirt enough to form ridge at
the trees or in the space between, either
of which would not be desirable. Phil
adelphia Ledger.

Life In Other Worlds.

The fact has been established that the
supposed diamonds found in meteorites
les the Canyon Diablo, in Arizona, are
actually such. This is a matter of pro-
found interest, indicating as it does that
such stones exist on other planets. Some
authorities assert that diamonds-like
coal, which is SO nearly of the same
chemical construction-could not posi-
bly, come into existence without previous
vegetable growths to generate their ma
terial. For this reason they infer that
the finding of the gems in the meteor
ties proves that there must have been
vegetable life in the place whence the
meteorites came. If there was vegetable
life there, it is a fair presumption that
there was animal life also. All this may
be untrue, but it affords the first guess
glimpse ever obtained into the greatest
problem that mankind has ever attempt
ed to handle-namely, the question
whether life exists in other worlds than
ours.-Philadelphia Press.

A Theater Check Club.

There is q small social organization
which occupies three ROOMS III q house
not far frola Herald square, and which
has on to be known as the ''Theater
Check club." There are about 25 mem
bers, and they are mostly OF the type of
men who like to look III at d theater for
an act or so two or three times a week,
bat who do not particularly care to sit
through al entire performance. 1t IS al
most always the case that during the
evening from half a dozen to twice that
many door checks of the various the
aters will be found sticking in the side
CT the mirror which is over the mantel
in the reading room, and these are used
by any member who cares to do so, but
it is understood that if he does so he is
to bring II back or have it i'll its place
in the mirror within 49 hours. The the
aters in many instances change the door
checks from day to day, but the mem
bers of the little club in question are
pretty well posted as to which color is
good on each evening, and if they are
wrong they W. betray it, for a glance
at the checks being used shows them if
they have the proper check for that
evening, and if not they Go not attempt
to use it.-New York Mail and Express.

y. "a: No iat In m AEtifat Diet Profes-
sion@l!y Discussed.
Spea%7ng in Il paper on the subject OF
the various diet cures for fairness, the
eminent authority, DR.. Andrew Wilson,
says:
Doubtless starches and sugars, repre-
scented in such vegetable foods as bread,
rice, tapioca and the like, are fat form
els. The living body has thus a power
OF making fat out of that which is not
fat. An2 along with this point is an
other-tLat fat itself does not go, di-
rectly at least. to make fat III the body.
Fat is, on the other hand, a valuable
addition is the diet of a %corpulent per
son because it has a power properly ad-
ministered of burning off food excess.
In more than one system of body reduc-
tlon fat is, therefore, administered as an
essential part and parcel of the diet
| cure. Ii is said that when tat, sta7ches
and sugars are all cut off reduction CT
weight takes place much faster than
when fat is allowed III the dietary scale.
This may be so, but strongly question
lllt NiSbOIii VI tiiC B1otNSuihS
All we know about fat points to it as
an absolutely essential element of our
food. We can't live healthily without
it, and if decrease in weight rapidly
follows its elimination from the diet
the very rapidity of the reduction is an
argument against its safety. Besides,
starch and sugar largely omitted from
the food, with a moderate quantity Of
fat allowed and a slight increase of the
flesh foods, will accomplish all that is
needed more gradually. but l also hold
more safely for the patient.
The lesson of physiology, therefore, to
US all is: Don't neglect the fats of the
food. They assist the assimilation of
other foods and are essential for the
body's nutrition. I should not believe
in any system of ordinary diet Or OF
weight reduction which neglected fat on
the one hand or insisted that its absence
was essential for the cure Of corpulence
ON the other.-New York Times.

A CITY Without q Woman.

Maiwatchin, in Mongolia, close to the
borders of Russian Siberia, is the only
city in the world peopled by men only.
The Chinese women are not only forbid
den to leave this territory, but even to
pass the great wall of Kalkan and enter
into Mongolia. All the Chinese of this
border city are exclusively traders, and
they accumulate money till their trad
ing with Europe through Siberia has
created a sufficient fortune to enable
them to return to their native cities and
live there in ease with their families.
Their dwellings indicate their prosperi-
ty. They are separated from the street
by a clay wall, rather ugly, it is true,
but surrounding generally a very ele-
giant looking house, before which are
gamboling those sleek looking, plump
cues, with unusually big eyes, such as
are pretty faithfully represented on Chi
nese vases and screens. The main part
of the houses of Maiwatchin is divided
into two compartments, and that which
is behind is raised. Fires are kept up
under this great platform, which is COW
cred with mats that serve as seats by
day and beds by night. Opposite the
door a niche is generally seen where
the domestic idols, unaccustomed to at
titudinize to profane eyes, repose be-
hind an ornamented blind. The walls
of the reception are lacquered in
red or black and sometimes covered
with figured silk, according to the
wealth and taste of the owner. The
apartment overlooking the court is gen
orally of light wood, perforated and
carved, and over these openings colored
paper is stretched, producing something
of the graceful effect of stained glass.
The idol temples are gorgeous build
ings.-Chicago Tribune.

A Ticket Chopper Who Is Saving Money In
Phenomenal Fashion.
There are some men with whom thrift
and miserliness are synonymous, but the

called even penurious, despite the fact
that in Is years, out Of a salary of
$40. so a week, he has accumulated over
Sc, 900, all of which is drawing at least
4 per cent interest.
When the 81" roads were completed
and the ticket chopping machines placed
