Let us not count 1t silly to keep our

far wiser to sit by the little bed and
read the Jungle Stories" or "Alice In
Wonderland" than to don a satin robe
and go to a ball, or rel to manage
missions for Booribola Cha. A good
deal Of real missionary work should
be done by ones W fireside. In fact,
many a mother needs to be a mission
airy to herself.
To be like an elder sister to the
daughter just entering womanhood, to
win the story of her secret predilec-
lions, is to save her from many a
heartburn and pitfall. 1t is also to be
able to help her unfold the higher life,
to avoid envy and jealousy, fretful
| moods and whimsical depressions, just
| at the critical period. In f1uence over
| the daughter then lost is gone forever.

arrangement, and that is the loss of
confidence between husband and wife.

A Miser'a Last Wish.

story Of a Roumanian miscr: a Greek
died in the small town of Caracal. hav-
ing always lived on the aims of his COM
patriots. Before dying he made his
wife swear that she would bury him in
the dirty old ovcrcoat which he wore
every day. The poor woman had To ask
the Greeks of Caracal to help her to pro-
vide the costs of the funeral. A good
hearted Crock went to see her in her
aflliction, and, pointing to the body,
said he would give her Il better coat to
bury the man in. Then she told him of
the dead mans last wish. The Greek,
whose suspicious We're awakened, told
her that she should certainly not part
with the body before She had we'll ex-
amined the coat, for there must be some
particular reason for the request. The
widow unpicked the lining of the over
coat and found thirty-tive thousand
francs in bank notes which the miser
wished to take into the grave with
him ~

The Famous County Of Pike.

1t is not generally known that the
present State of Washington was once
included in the celebrated county of
Pike, a very small remnant of which
is the we'll known county of Missouri
OF the same name. The fact is histori-
cal, however, and tends to show that
the inhabitants of Washington are
closely related to the Missourians,
territorially at least. The st. Louis
Republic says:
The county of Pike is older than
the State of Missouri isself, having
been laid out in 1919. The town of
Louisiana was laid out in the same
year, so that Louisiana, Mo-, and the
State of Pike" came into history at
the same time.
When the territorial government
established Pike county, its southern
boundary was the northern line of st.
Charles county. The western line
was along the divide between the
Mississippi and Missouri rivers, to the
extreme northern line of the territory
of Upper Louisiana, and extended to
the Pacific Coast on the west and to
the forty-ninth degree of north lati-
tude.

II Seems So In Europe, While Ours Are
Growing Warmer.
1t is often asked, regarding the sea-
sons, whether they alter from year to
year, whether there is positive change
in climate from century to century.
The general opinion seems to be, ac-
cording to the New York Press, that
the springs and summers are cooler
than they were once, and that the win.
tiers are less cold.
The records of thermometrical obser-
vations show that the temperature OF
the month of May is diminishing, but
that the temperature of the year, taken
together, rather tends to increase.
Taking into consideration a period OF
fifty or sixty more years, there has been
observed an actual diminution of the
mean temperature in the climate OF
France. But observing a longer period
comparing, for example, the earliest
centuries of French history with the
present time-no sensible difference OF
the seasons can be established.
For example, the Roman emperor,
Julian. was very fond of living at Paris,
and about A. ID. 800 he made several
long sojourns in that city. In his Mis-.
opogon he relates that he was greatly
surprised one fine morning to see the
Seine stopped in its course and its
waters changed into blocks of marble.
Sowe see that there was at that time
as well as to-day, winters severe enough
to freeze the rivers, and that the eli.
mate has not changed much if any.
Perhaps the men of the present time
have a more sensitive epiderInis than
had their hardy ancestors.

TREES AND THEIR AGES.
They Are the Only Forms OF Nature Which
Accurately Record the Years.

Accurately Record the Years.
z Elm, 500 years; ivy, 335 years: maple,
$40 years; larch. $40 years; orange, go
years: walnut. 900 years: Oriental
plane, 1000 years: lime, LOO years;
spruce, 1000 years: oak, 1.500 years;
Cedar, 1000 years: yew, $500 years.
The way in which the ages of these
trees have been aSccrtainrd leaves no
doubt of its correctness. In some few
cases the data have been furnished by
historical records and by traditions,
but the botanical archeologists have n
resource Independent of either, and,
when carefully used, infallible.
OF all the forms of nature, trees
alone disclose their ages candidly and
freely. In the stems of trees which
have branches and leaves with Melted
veins-in all exogens, as the botanist
would say-the increase takes place by
means of an annual deposit of wood,
spread in an even layer upon the sur
face of the preceding one.
In the earlier periods of life trees in
crease much faster than when adult
the oak, for instance, grows more rap
idly between the twentieth and thir-
tieth years-and when old the annual
deposits considerably diminish, so that
the strata are thinner and the rings
proportionably closer. Some trees
slackcn in rate of growth at very
early period of life, and layers Of oak
become thinner after 40, those of the
elm after so, those OF the yew after 20.

MEXICO NEEDS IMMIGRANTS.
People From Northern Europe Would Sci
Valuable Example of Thrift.

q Valuable Example of Thrift.
There is a rumor to the effect that an
effort will be made in Mexico to turn
the current of European emigration
from the United States to that coun-
try. There is room in Mexico for many
more people, but it is by no means as
sparsely inhabited Il country as many
Americans think, says the Denver Re
publican. In area it is about one fourth
as great as the United States. Its pop
ulation is 1900 900. The same density
in the United States would give this
country about $4,000. 900, which is but
100000 less than the census of 1850
showed our population to be in that
year.
Mexico needs n different kind of
population, rather than an increase.
About one-half the people are full
blooded Indians, and of these one-half
are uncivilizcd. There are about | ,00O,-
600 whites, the majority Of whom, of
course, are of Spanish descent. The
remainder, with the exception of few
negroes and Chinese, are of mixed
blood. Probably 100000 of the in
habitants have Indian blood in their
veins, two-thirds of this number being
full blood. The hope of the country is,
therefore, in the people who have In
dian blood. If they shall not develop
to high civilization the country will
always be governed by small class,
composed chiefly of the whites
Fortunately the civilized Indians of
full blood are n quiet orderly peoplc
capable of performing great deal of
labor and attaining oproficiency in the
mechanic arts. Juarcz, one of the
greatest of Mexican statesmen and gen.
erals, was n full-blood. The hybrds,
like hybrids generally, are worse than
their paren is of either stock and have
caused great deal of trouble. Immi-
grafton of a good class from northern
Europe would do Mexico good, because
the immigrants would set an example
of industry and thrift to the natives.
But there is not much inducement for
immigrants of the labcring. mechanic
or agricultural classes to settle in Mex
leo. The demand for labor does not
equal the supply, and the farmers would
find but poor markets for their prod
ucts. Mexico is good country for men
with money to invest in mining and
other industries requiring large capital,
but to immigrants without means the
field is not inviting.
