Growing Rubber Trees.

From time to time articles are print
ed in the daily and other press discours-
ing upon the advantage to be gained in
the cultivation of india rubber. One adj
vantage would be in the respect that the
rubber tree does not grow in orchards or
groves, but generally isolated, some
times not more than four or five being
within the distance of a mile. 1t is
urged that if they could be cultivated
in groups the labor could be more adj
vantageously handled. Rubber growing
requires a hot, moist climate, and the
trees cannot be grown elsewhere. The
annual rainfall on the Amazon is about
40 inches against one-quarter Of that
amount in the United States. Tt rains,
as a rule, every day. The temperature
seldom falls below rs, its usual height
being about 80. 1t is the ideal climate
for growing rubber, which is SO plenty
that hardly any set Of capitalists would
undertake to plant trees and watch them
10 years before they receive the first
fruits Of their enterprise. Hardware.

Mr.. Grossmith's Humorous skitI Is but Lit
tie Exaggerated.
In one of his entertainments Mr..
George Grossmith, the English come
dian, extracts considerable fun from
''French as she is spoke" by the school
boy. In a clever skit on the French
play that forms part of the inevitable
prize day programme all the dialogue is
of the conventional first French course"
order-viz, "Have you seen the garden
Of my wife's uncle?' "No, but 1 have
found the pencil Of my fathers sister"
I was reminded of this the other day
when calling on a friend whose three
small nieces had just arrived from
South America. The children's native
tongue was Spanish, but evidently a
first English course had been used to
prepare them for their visit to this coun-
try, and their quaint high flown phrases
were a constant source of mirth to the
household. They invariably prefaced
each sentence with, sit is that"
"Juanita, why haven't you brushed
your hair?" said my friend to the dark
eyed eldest girl of about 6. SIT is that
I failed to discover my brush, was the
stately reply. AT that moment the baby
up stairs set up a piercing yell, where
upon the second child, with hand up
raised, remarked, with Infinite solem-
nifty, "Hark, the infant waiIfs!''-New

ANTIQUITY OF FISHING.
How the Fair Cleopatra Fooled Antony
With a Salt Fish.

With a Salt Fish.
The art Of angling no doubt had its
origin in mans necessities. The earliest
record Of mankind makes reference to
the taking of fish for food. There are
frequent illusions to it i'll the Bible.
Job, in the oldest book of all, says:
"Canst thou draw out q leviathan with
a hook, Or his tongue with a cord which
thou lettest down? Canst thou put q
hook in his nose?' Homer, in the
''Iliad, - speaks Of fishing in these lines:
AS bearing death in the fallacious bait,
From the bent angle sinks the leaden weight.
And it is recordefein the Odyssey:
AS when the anglersalis long rod in hand,
On a projecting rock assumesh Mis- stand,
Casts to the fiery fry the baited snare,
Then filings the wriggling captives in the air.
The Romans, Greeks and other races
of early days around the Mediterranean
practiced the art Of angling. Plutarch
tells Of a prank played by the fair Egyp-
tian, Cleopatra, while out fishing with
Antony, "They wagered on their an
CLING, and her divers did hang q salt fish
on his hook, which he with fervor drew
up"
The ruined walls of Herculaneum and
Pompeii abound in frescoes of fisher
men. ALI along the track Of history aye
found traces of this gentle recreation,
showing the gradual improvement from
the hook Of bone and rude equipment of
the ave man to the elegant accessories
and belongings Of the modern angler

Testing a Horses Wind.

While talking about horses the other
day an old farmer said: "Well, I'm a
pretty good judge of horses and can al
ways tell whether a horse is short wind
ed or not.
Before I buy a horse" he contin-
ued, SC, just borrow it for about an hour
or SO, and then I get out on some lonely
road and see what kind of stuff he is
made of.
II first let him choose his own gait
for a couple Of mile posts and finally
give him plenty of rein, making him go
for all he is worth. ALI the time I just
keep my eye on his launches, and if I

he's thick winded, and Of course every
