rRnE PLANrlNo lN FRANCE.

Useless sand Ounce Converted Into valu-
abl Land with Pines.
The French thoroughly appreciate the
advantages to be derived from systematio
treo planting. Tracts Of sand have boon
covered with pine forests, and the word
lande, borrowed, as it is thought, from
tho German, is losing its meaning Of
waste" Till n century ago a large
portion Of the forest Ct Fontainebleau
consisted Of bare sand hills, but tho
planting of pines was begun. A variety
capable of standing the severest win
tors was evidently found, and millions
Of trees now difuse healthy and agree
able odors, besides furnishing timber
for fuel.
The deccmposed fir needles, more
over, gradu lily form a crust of vegeta-
bio m permitting tho growth of trees
and shrubs less able than the pho 10
live ON air. The department Of tho
LAndes, once a barren region, with sand
so loose that people had to walk g.
stilts. is covered with pines. and tho
problem Of draining the subsoil has been
solved, ns described in Edmond About's
story Of "Maitro Pierre.
The losses by fire and anxiety to pro-
duce something more remunerative than
pine aro now, however. inducing
schemes Of artificial fertilization. In
many French watering places dunes
have been transformed into woods. thus
holding ont to seaside visitors the ut
traction of agreeable shade anda change
from monotonous beach. Shifting sands
have been I"evented from extending in.
land. In some cases dunes have been nc
quired by c. npanies, which, after plant
ing them, ! ave cut them mp into bui /
ing lots and havo seen them dotted with
villas.
Elsewhere municipalities have taken
up tho matter, and in large operations
the district or the department has pro-
vided tho funds. London Times.

9ome Curious supsrstltions Regarding ft
In the Popular Mind.
There IN asuperstitious regard for the
number three in thu popular mind, and
tho third repetition Of yihing Is gem
orally looked upon az a crisis. Thus IN
article may twice DO lost and recovered,
but the third time that it is lost Il Is
gone for good. Twice a man may pass
through some great danger in safety,
but the third time he loses his life. II,
however, the mystic third can be n 70
ocssfully passed, all Is we'll. Three was
called by Pythagoras the perfect num-
Der, and We frequently find its use sym
bolical Of Deity. Thus we might mon
ton the trident Of Neptune. the three
forked lightning Of Jove and three head
ed dog Of Pluto. TIE idea Of trinity Is
not confined to Christianity, but oc-
curl in several religions.
In mythology also we find three fates,
three furies and three graces, and, COM
speare introduces his three witches. Iu
public house signs three seems 10 play
an important part, for we frequently
meet with Three Cups, - Three Jolly
Sailors, " Three Bells, "''ThreoT uns, "
"Three Feathers''-in fact, the number
Of almost anything Of which q fertile
imagination can conceive q trio. In
nursery rhymes and tales this number
Is not unknown. and IL VIC look back to
the days Of our childhood most Of us
will call to mind the three wise men Of
Gotham who took a sea voyage in q
bowl, not to mention the three blind
mice that had their tails cut of by the
farmers wife. Perhaps there is some
occult power in the number which gov
erns the division Of novels into three
volumes and induces doctors to order
their medicine to be taken thrice daily.
It is said that some tribes Of savages
cannot count beyond three. But, al
though they may have no words to ok
press higher numbers, perhaps We should
be scarcely justified in assuming that
they are incapable Of ~appreoiating the
value Of the latter. New York AdvOr-

was usually held in tho village school
house, the schoolmnster often figuring
as the singing master. Thither at reg

months tripped the gTandmas with their
escorts. Little did they imagine as they
lifted mp their sweet voices in unison
with the strong tenors and bassos that
those same airs. even the very gowns
thoy wore, would at some distant day
be reproduced for the benefit Of an up
preciativo audience. Yeti 1t may be safe

the colonial tea the old folks concert

ola Superstition which Mas Powerful IT,
nuenoa with Eurupcau B,idni Couples.
The municipal statistics Of the city o.
Morsoilloa show tho observer that on the
28th Of April, 1904, there were regis.
tered at the mayors Office in that town
no less than "a marriages. why this
enormous NUMBER because, according
to an ancient tradition, couples that
marry In tho month Of May expose thom-
selves TO great dangor-death will soon
smito the u~nfortunates, on. at the very
least, thoir union will not DO blessed
with children. Therefore a largo NUM-
Der Of Marseilloiso lovers availod them
selves Of the last days Of April to join
themselves in wedlook.
This curious superstition ~ by no
means confined 20 Mnrseillea M. 10
Blaut a French investigator. ascribes
10 it an origin in Roman antiquity. The
Roman poet Ovid said that May was no
time for widows to marry or for young
girls, and adds tl9t tho imprudent
woman who braves fate by so doing will
die early. Plutarch agrees to the truth
Of this
It may DO because Of this ancient prin-
ciplo that the Roman Catholic church
has mado tho. month Of May sacred 10
the Virgin. However this may be, tho
idea has certainly perpetuated itself with
singular persistence. Tassoni, writing
about tho middle Of the seventeenth cen
tury, relates that among the inhabitants
Of Ferraras many young mobiles and
princes who were married in May died
only a few days aftorward. 1T is tho
observation Of this strange fact, I" no OBJ
serves, THAT induced the Fcrrarcse, 20
It is said, to follow the ancient custom. "
At the present day the superstition
has not ceased to show itself in certain
regions Of Italy, in Roumania, in south
Germany, Bohemia, Westphalia Eng
land and France, notably ia Shmtonge
and in the Cevennes, where every one
acknowledges the truth Of the provorb,
1.-THE mouth Of flowers is a month Of
tears.
Perhaps" said Plutarch, ''the
month Of May is regarded as unlucky
because it comes between April and
June, the II onths respectively Of Venus
and Juno. the tutelary g~oddesses Of mar
riage, or perhaps It is because May is
tho month of the feast Of tho Lomuros.

He thanks you when he brings your

kin, when he takes away your plate.
when he happens to find you looking at

by the bus conductor. who thanks you
for your fare and thanks you again when

A Dentist na1a enc Nerves In Them Az
KILLED ~ Nicotine Poisoning.
There - ono bad result Of constant
cigarette smoking that very few people
know anything about. " said a Brooklyn
dentist THE result itself has been ap-
parent 10 mo and to all dentists for q
long time, bpt the cause has been q mys-
terry until very recently. For years the
nerves Of teeth IN every other way per-
feet have been found dead. A careful
examination Of a dead nerve found in
an unoxposod tooth recently revealed the
fact that Il had been poisoned by nico-
tine, and thereby the mystery referred
to was solved. Nicotine poisoning from
cigarette smoking Is killing the nerves
in the teeth Of smokers It Is q most
serious state Of Affairs, although most
people will not understand They think
a dead tooth Is as good as a live one
They will find their mistake some day.

the truth Of what ! had said, and thai

po No. slesp on the Len Sac.

There is little doubt that an Immense
number Of persons habitually sleep on
the left side, and those who do so can
never, it is said. be strictly healthy. It
is the most prolific cause Of nightmare.
and also of the unpleasant taste in tho
mouth on arising in the morning. All
food enters and leaves the stomach on
the right side, and hence sleeping ON the
left side soon after eating involves a sort
Of pumping operation which is any
thing but conducive to sound repose.
The action Of the heart is also seriously
interfered with and the lungs unduly
compressed. Hence 1t is best to cultivate
the habit Of always sleeping on the right
side. although Sandow and other strong
men are said TO invariably sleep on their
backs. Philadelphia Times
