The Hat Trick.

A large, good-looking and evidently
good-natured man walked into the eX-
change-roOm in the Board of Trade
building the other day and was an in
terested, not to say, anxious spectator
of what Is known on Change as "the
hat trick"
The large man wore q glossy new
Derby hat.
A member Of the exchange walked up
to him, neatly lifted his hat off his
head, and in a moment the newcomer
saw what he supposed was his hat
flying across the room.
1t had been propelled by kick. Sew
eral others made a rush for 1t, and 1t
was sent hither and thither like foot
ball.
The man looked on in amazement.
Presently the hat came his way and he
seized it. He gave the now dilapidated
headgear brush or two with his elbow
looked it over obviously, then he put it
on and started hurriedly for the door.
Before he could make his escape the
hat was again seized and again became
the center Of q rush.
Once more the man got the hat,
clapped it on his head and was rushing
away when he was intercepted by the
man who had originally taken it from
the visitors head. s...Ds
With great politeness the joker hand
ed over the visitors own hat, as glossy
and perfect as if had just come from
the hatter's block, and took the old hat
in return.
The visitors surprise increased. He
scrutinized the new hat. 1t was certain
ly his. Then he joined in the general
laugh. He had simply been initiated
into the mysteries of the Board of
Trade hat trick, the first point in which
is a bit of sleight-of-hand work by
which hats are changed and the stock
hat, kept for the purpose, is kicked in
to the ring of jokers.-Buffalo Com

RAMBLING.

"A young fellow from the East who
has been brought up on farm, or who
has done hard manual labor as a ma
chinist, need not go through novitiate
of manual labor in order to get accus-
toned to the rcsIghness that such labor
implies; but boy just out of a High
school, or a young clerk, will have TO
go through just such novitiate before
he will be able to command dollars
pay. Both alike will have to learn the
actual experience on the ground. Again
the beginner must remember that
though there are occasional excitement
and danger in a ranchman's life, 1t Is
only occasional, while the monotony Of
hard and regular toll is not often
broken. Except in the matter Of fresh
air and freedom from crowding, a
small ranchman often leads life Of as
grinding hardness as the average dwell
Ter in New York tenement house. His
shelter is a small log hut, or possibly
a dug-out in the side of a bank, or In
summer shabby tent. For food he
will have to depend mainly on the
bread of his own baking, on fried fat
pork, and on coffee or tea with sugar
and no milk. or course he will occa-
sionally have some canned stuff or po-
tatoes. The furniture Of the hut is of
the toughest descriptions roll Of
blankets for bedding, bucket. a tin
wash basin, and tin mug, with per-
haps cracked looking glass four
inches square.-Harpers Round Table.

Biggest Of Big Trees.

The largest tree In the state Of Cali
fornia or on the American continent,
perhaps, Is "Old Sequoia," the titan of
all the redwood giants, which stands at
an altitude of $500 feet above sea level
at a distance of seventeen miles from
the Yosemite Valley. At present the
"Old Sequola" Is but blackened
stump, but as 1t stands 1t is without
doubt the Oldest representative of the
vegetable kingdom in the world. Az
one time before fire and wind partially
destroyed the grove Of "big trees" OF
which 1t was the chief, "Old Sequoia''
was more than 100 yards high and up

The eadl Of india and He Peculiar oflle
| Some curious customs are to be found
among the Inhabitants Of the northwest
provinces of India. The following, for
instance, is related Of ceremony per-
formed by badis or r0pe-dancers, to
bring prosperity to the villages to
which they belong. The rite Is COM
monty performed In the Garhwalli vii
lagos, dedicated to Mahadeva, Mt pro-
pltiatory festivals which are annually
held In his honor.
A rope Is stretched from the summit
OF a cliff to the valley beneath, the
ends being made fast to stakes driven
into the ground. The Badi seated a
stride on wooden saddle, well creased
to make 1t run freely, rides from the
top to the bottom of the rope: The
pace, Of course, varies according to the
degree Of inclination given to the rope,
but as may be expected, 1t is always
very rapid and sometimes terrific.
Precautions are taken to prevent ac-
cidents. The saddle Is fastened, for In
stance, so that 1t cannot slip round the
rope, and the Badi's feet are ballasted
by sandbags to maintain his perpendic-
ular; and the only danger is from "a
possible breaking of the rope. This Is
usually made of bhabar grass, and nat
urally the Badi takes great care to see
that 1t Is equal to the strain.
The remuneration paid to the Badi
for this novel form of Blondlnism Is
one rupee for every hundred cubits Of
rope traversed, and the longest journey
Of the kind on record Is one for which
twenty-one rupees were paid, and
which accordingly measured 2,10ocu-
bits.
The practice is not so dangerous
tive rule, when to the risk Of fall
was added the certainty that such
mishap would entail death, because 1t
was the custom whenever Badi fell,
for the surrounding spectators to
promptly dispatch him with swords.
That part of the excitement has been
eliminated, and it is on record that no
fatal accident has resulted from the
performance since 1915, though it is
probably still celebrated ut upwards OF
fifty Indian villages every year.
The rope or bast used for the cere-
mony is supposed to be endowed with
remarkable properties by the success
full accomplishment of the feat and it
is cut up and distributed among the
people of the village, who hang the
pieces to the caves or their houses in
order that they may serve as charms.
The Badi's hair is believed to have
similar properties, and Is cut off and
preserved, and he himself is supported
by contributions Of grain from the viii
layers, in addition to the monetary re-
ward for his feat, the theory being
that his share in propiiating the gods
to secure fertility to the lands Of
others makes his own land unlucky,
and that any seed he might sow would
be certain not to terminate.

OUR INSECT ENEMIES.

Insects are divided into two classes,
viz, biting and sucking kinds. The
biting kinds gnaw the wood and foliage
and chew their food and therefore can
be killed by outward applications Of
poison, but the sucking insects get
their food and do their damage by in
sorting their long shouts through the
outer coverings into the top or soluble
life foods of the plants. The remedies
for either kind or called insecticides.
Fungi are also divided into classes,
such as mildews, pots and blights,
which are minute plants, and the para
site fungi, simple threadlike bodies
such as are often seen in delicate trac-
ings over grape and other leaves. You
state that tomatoes are one of your
chief crops. Moulds, root blight, leaf
blight and black rot are the chief enc
mics of the tomatoe plant and fruit. To
protect the tomato from these enemies
William s. Powell, of Maryland, recon-
mends to first soak your seed in weak
solution of the ammOniacal solution Of
carbonate Of copper, then dry and SOW.
AS tue pldutS put IOrIn the lnlru ZEAL
spray them in the beds with the same
solution. When they are set out pour
around each plant one-half pint of the
same. This answers as a watering and
impregnates the ground and prevents
root blights, which cannot be cured by
spraying the foliage. This application
also induces rapid starting of the
plants in growth, caused by the volatile
ammonia the solution contains. Then
spray until the fruit begins to color
up. 1t is well to remember, damp and
cloudy weather induces disease in
plants. Therefore in such seasons or
when constant rains occur, the spray
pump must be kept going.-Coleman'
