FOUR TREES WITH ONE TRUNK.
Natural Curiosity of Which a Mis-
souri, Farmer Boasts.
Bonneville Democrat.
FO11r ,,oilac fr1,,,

Bonneville Democrat.
Four miles from Pineville, McDon-
aid county, on the grounds of j. L..
Parish. is a freak Of nature SO curious
that If had not seen it with my own
eyes, says a contributor to an ex-
change, 1 could scarcely have believed
it possible. On the bank of Elk river
rises large tree that towers above
the neighhoring trees. At the ground
a solid buttressed trunk appears from
eight to ten feet in diameter A lit
tie higher than a mans head this
trunk divides into four lesser trunks.
the two smaller of which are in them
selves fair-sizeds trees, while the other
two are far above the average size
Here comes the queer part of the
story. Of these divergent trunks the
two larger ones are respectively an
elm and a sycamore, while the two
smaller ones are an oak and q syca-
more. Above the union of the common
trunk each tree in leaf branch and
bark is normal to its type The trunk
itself seems a homogeneous whole. I
would not presume to say that close
examination would not show in the
bark from different sections of the
trunk those peculiarities that distin-
guish the bark of 5one tree from that
of the other, but certainly these char
acteristics do not appear on cursory
examination, nor are there lines of
Jointure visible where the four trunks
coalesce
doubt If any one can point to
stranger growth than this-two syca-
mores, an oak and an elm all grow
ing from one common trunk This
meeting together of four youthful tree
trunks as they thickened with age is
occasionally seen, but this is an I'M
usually fine illustration. Each tree
must, however, form its own bark
that is to say, no one of them has
been wholly enyeloped by another.
Hence careful investigation ought to
disclose a slight line where the in
curving bark of each original tree
meets.

"THIs BRIDGE is BLOWN Up.v
A German officer Who Consulted His
Comfort During the Maneuvers.

During the army maneuvers near Stettin a.
comical incident occurred, says a writer in
the Berlin Borsen Zeitung. young lieu
tenant of the cavalry guards, who has con-
siderable property, was sent with six men to
reconnoiter in the direction in which his
regiment was to advance. Arriving at a
bridge crossing the Stettin high road, he
fastened a board across writing upon it
with chalk the words, "This bridge is blown
up" signing it with his name. After this
heroic exploit he retired a little way and
treated his command and himself to an ex-
cellent breakfast. in which several bottles
of liquor played an important part Tired
from the ride on the hot day the little COM
mand, after that repast, took a rest along
the wall Of the cemetery near by, allowing
the horses to Craze.
In the meantime, however, an infantry
regiment of the enemy had arrived at the
bridge, and it's commander wrote another
one, which read: s'This bridge is built
up again. The cavalry patrol were
discovered and found asleep. The colonel of
the regiment ordered their horses taken
away, allowing them to continue their slum-
Der. OF course, when they awoke few
hours afterwards, and made their way back
to their own command, without being able
to give an account of what had become of
their horses, sabers and guns, there was
great CONSERVATION among them. Since the
to retire into private life at an early day to
devote himself to his agricultural interests,
the colonel of his regiment gave him the ad-
vice of executing the contemplated change
at as early date as possible.

him ammonia to smell and examined
him again, and then told the officers
that the man was shamming; that the
Inconsistencies was assumed, and
patrol wagon was summoned and the
negro was taken to the Four Courts,
where he was locked in cell in the
central police statian.
He lay on the stone floor two hours
without moving muscle, only breath
ing gently and silently. Capt. O'Mal-
ley watched Thea man for a long time,
and then struck him on the soles of
his shoes repeatedly and persistently,
but to no avail. The captain was sure
the man was not shamming. He was
taken back to the dispensary, and DR..
Kearney sent him to the city hospital.
A sponge saturated with the strong
est ammonia was placed over his
mouth and nostrils and he was COM
PEELED to breath the fumes. It seemed
to have no effect upon him. Drugs
with long names and worse taste were
forced down his throat until the hos
pital pharmacy's stock of restoratives
has been tested. His clothes were
stripped off and he was patted all over
the body each pat making a loud sound
and necessarily a painful sting; vet
the patient paid no attention to it. His
arms and legs were shaken until it
was thought that the joints would be-
come loosened. For over six hours
every breath he took he inhaled am
monia. When the physicians would
raise his eyelids the eyeballs would be
turned upward so that the pupils were
hidden
At o'clock the patient muttered a
few words, from which it was learned
that his name was Sam Murphy: then
the unconscious state returned, and it
seemed as profound as ever. At 6
o'clock the physicians and attendants
left him for a few minutes to go to
dinner. They had not been out Of the
room five minutes when Murphy climb
ed down from the glass top operating
table and put on his clothes. He tried
the door. but it was locked. He tried
to tear board from the partition
and, finding that impracticable. but
his shoulder to one end of the partition
and showed the whole thing down.
He then walked over it and got to a
window, but it was locked. He broke
out the sab and climbed through. He
ran across the yard to the high board
fence surrounding, the hospital. and
climbing over it, he was at liberty.
His escape was not discovered until
the hospital physicians saw the wreck
ed partition, and then had a hearty
laugh on themselves. 1t is Thought
that Murphy will be a very sick man
because of the quantity and variety of
drugs and medicines given him.

WOMEN ARE THREE TO ONE.

Life on an Island In the South At
1antic.
From the isolated group Of little
islands in the South Atlantic, whence
| the Gagged eagle, Napoleon, was guard
ed, though 1900 miles distant, on lonely
st. Helena, comes by faraway, rounda-
bout means the strange tale of life,
without communication with the rest
Of the world for six months, and a bit
Of history in a community in which
women outnumber the men by such
a majority that they may compel ODE
dience by force, if violence should be
necessary. The news from the group
of Tristan de Cunha, the three little
islands midway between the Cape of
Good Hope and the coast of South
America, came through the captain of
the ship hartford, who says that in
about latitude 81 degrees 5 minutes
south and longitude II degrees 16 min
utes his vessel was signaled by
small boat. The yards of the Dart
ford were backed and the boat came
alongside. In it were several men
and quantity Of potatoes, eggs, milk
and penguin skins. The men offered
the fresh produce and the skins in
trade, saying they wanted clothing,
tea, rice, sugar and flour from the
ships stores in exchange for the ar
ticles they brought from their island
home They told the captain that they
depend on passing vessels for the pro-
visions they named ana for clothing.

were in dire distress, because for six
months not boat had succeeded in
hailing a ship.
The population of the island Of iris
tan da Cunha, as reported to the cap
tain Of the hartford by the men in the
boat, is sixty, the women outnumber-
Ing the men in the proportion Of three
to one. Therefore there are forty-five
women and fifteen men-that means
thirty minated women. The group
consists Of three tiny volcanic islands,
Tristan, the largest, being seven miles
in diameter Gin the center being a.
mountain 1900 feet high; Inaccessible
about two miles across, and Nightin-
gale island, a baby islet, Just big
enough to hold two hills. The islands
have been under the British flag since
1915, though, as the men in the boat
told the master of the hartford. no
European government has paid any at
tention to them in the memory of any
of the inhabitants. When Napoleon
was at st. Helena, 1900 miles distant,
a British garrison was stationed on
Tristan, but was withdrawn after the
death Of the exile. Corporal William
Glass, his wife and family and two
private soldiers were permitted to re-
main on the island when the garrison
was withdrawn. The population had
increased to sixty people, some Of the
accessions being due to shipwreck and
some to desertion from whaling YES
sells.
The captain Of the hartford reported
no explanation of the extraordinary
majority of women, but as his parting
bit Of information he related that the
men told him that the latest addition
to the population of the island was the
second mate Of the wrecked vessel
Allan Shaw, who was washed upon the
rocky shore. He was seized by the
women and married before he was dry.

to know that all female ailments are

YOUR HAND MODELLED.
Women Give Their Hands lin Marble

New York sculptors are devoting
themselves to new branch of art.
They are busily engaged in modelling

bronze, marble or paper mache, and the
price, of course, depends upon the ma
terial used.
The caprice originated with the stage
Ophelias, Juliets and lesser lights of
the theatrical world some seasons past.
1t was their custom to have their hands
nodded and present the casts to their
friends as slight tokens of esteem. So
clety women are now following their
example, and the hands of many ultra
fashionable women are doing duty as
paper weights and objects of bigotry
and virtue" in New York bachelor
quarters.
AS an index to character those hands
are always an interesting study When
the palm is exposed to view the lines
are very tell-tale, and frequently reveal
unsupported characteristics The left
hand is chosen as usually the more per-
fectly formed. However what nature
lacks, art supplies, and beautiful hands
IN marble are the rule rather than
the exception. clinched hand and a
few inches Of arm is the original design
of one society dame who has won fame
as presiding officer. Another example
is a partly closed hand with the fore
finger extended, indicating the favorite
attitude Of a celebrated woman parlia-
mentarian.
The hand is always gracefully posed,
and the turn Of the wrist Is visible. It
is sometimes reproduced life-size, but a
slight reduction is better taste, and half
the size of the origintl model consider
ed best
The fad is not confined to women
who possess beautiful hands The
chisel is brought into play, and unsym-
metrical hands and fingers that do not
taper succumb readily to the sculptor's
skillful work. The result is beautiful
hands for all. Invariably the good
points in the model are accentuated, and
the defects conveniently overlooked.
The clasped hands of Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, the pioneer of ''woman's
rights, and her co-worker, Susan B.
Anthony, have been perpetuated in
marble. At the suggestion Of Lille
Deveraux Blake and other moving
spirits in woman-suffrag ranks the
souvenir was modelled to denote the
common interest and loyalty to their
cause which mark the friendship of
these two women. n
Calve has recently INDUCED in the
modelling habit, and her plump hand
in fac-simile is the proud possession Of
a few intimate friends. Yvette Gull
bert, who left nothing undone which
would attract attention to herself, also
added her name to the sculptor's list
The late Mrs. Paron Stevens was
noted for her beautiful hand. She was
among the first women in New York
to yield to the temptation of having her
hand modelled.
