whether her lover, Il handsome soldier,

it. To accomplish this GA francs 80 cen.
times, Il sheet and a chemise were nee
essary. The money and the articles We're
brought the next day by Mile. Bauchct.
Nine days later Nine Brethcaux said
that she had removed the spell which
had been thrown on Mile B;,uchct, but
she had discovered that the witches of
the country i'll which her lover was liv-
ing had thrown spell OIL him. The
witch" declared she would succeed i'll

francs and Il dozen linen pocket hand

A few days later the ingenious cheat

her an additional sum of 500 francs OH

The Value of Plant Life In Towns Greatly

The city of Washington has COM
mission which takes full charge of the
streets Of the city as regards the mattcr
of tree planting and caring. As Il result
the planting of shade trees III its streets
is carried out i'll harmony With one gcn-
cral plan, and, i'll addition, the trees
are planted hy men who understand
their business, and failures are few and
far between. Further, i'll certain diff
rult localities trees are selected by men
of experience that are particularly
adapted to tho trying conditions under
which they must exist. In Il word,
there is Il general plan of planting
which is carried out for the benefit of
the general public regardless, of the lit
tie likes and dislilcs of individual prop
erty owners.
The trees are in the absolute control
of this commission, and therefore they
are intelligently cared for, and individ-
ual property owners are not allowed To
have trees mutilatcd by amy alleged job
bing gardener that they may happen to
employ on their grounds AS a result
the ci!y Of Washington is noted the
world over for its street trees. and i'll
cnumniating the charms of Washington
it's street trees are invariably mentioned
as one OF ill., most beautiful features.
Further nan this, the universal plant

greater degree than is generally rccog

You that plants take up carbonic acid
gas and give off oxygen. This. as every
one knows, is exactly the reverse of
animal life. The absence of trees from
large cities and the heavy coNtribu-
tions OF c;trboliic acid gas to the atmos
phcrc from the combustion Of fuel are
what make the cities less healthy than
the country. and We can do nothing bet
