The Origin of "yvindfalI."

The origin of the expression "wind.
fall" which is used when one wishes to
refer to a streak of good luck, dates
back to the time of William the Con-
pueror. At that time it was n criminal
offenSe to cut timber in the British for
ests without royal consent. All that
could be gathered for fuel or other pur-
poses was such limbs Us the wind should
happen to break and cast to the ground.
On this account the peasants hailed u
great windstorm as blessing, because
1t was apt TO cast enough of ''windfalls"
for winter flre-wood. From this old.
time forestry custom comes the modern
application of the expression. At one
time il was decreed that only such
limbs and whole trees Us should fall
during the three summer months could
be used rs fire-wood, but the unjustness
of the act was so plainly apparent that
no attempt was ever made TO enforce il.

like condition will soon exist all over

member that a great deal depends on
having the right temperature.
BY the ruling of the government au-
thorities having the matter in charge.
the name of butterine is abolished, ard
ali such products are henceforth to be
known us oleomargarine.
After person has learned to make
good butter, the next thing is to get
good market for it. Generally the print
will help to do this and to hold the
market after it is obtained.

creation. Make up your mind before
the cow kicks that you will hold your
temper.-Farmers Review.

MISSOURI CURIOSITY.
Two Sycamores, an Oak and an Elm,
Growing from One Trunk.

Two Sycamores, an Oak and an Elm,
Growing from One Trunk.
Four miles from Pineville, Mcdonald
county, on the grounds of j. l.. Parish
is freak of nature so curious that if
L had not seen it with my own eyes, says
contributor to an exchange, l could
scarcely have believed it possible. On
the bank of the Elk river rises large
tree that towers high above the neigh
boring trees. At the ground solid
buttressed trunk appears from eight to
ten feet in diameter. A little higher
than a mans head this trunk divides
into four lesser trunks, the two smaller
of which are in themselves fair-sized
trees, while the other two are far above
the average size. Here comes in the
queer part of the story: OF these di-
,ergent trunks the two large cnes are
respectively an elm and a sycamore,
while the two smaller ones are an oak
and n sycamore. Above the union of the
common trunk each tree in leaf. branch
and bark is normal to its type. The
trunk itself seems homogeneous whole.
l would not presume to say that close
examination would not show in the
bark from different sections of the
trunk those peculiarities that dis
tinguish the bark of one tree from
that of the other, but certainly these
characteristics do not appear on cursory
examination, nor are the lines of join.
ture visible where the four trunks
coalesce.
l doubt if anyone 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 oc-
casionally seen, but this is an unusually
fine illustration. Each tree must, how
ever, form its own bark-that is to saw.
no one of them has been wholly en-
veloped by another. Hence careful in
vestigation ought to disclose n slight
line where the incurving bark of each
original tree meets.-Boonville Demo-
Crat

Large Seeds Are tho Best.

The question of the influence of the
size of seeds upon termination and upon
the size of the plant that springs there
from has been recently studied anew by
Mr.. b. II. Galloway, summary of whose
conclusions is given by the Gardeners
Chronicle. The weight and size of the
seed are of great Importance. A large
seed terminates better and more quick
ly, and with it one can count upon hav-
ing at the same moment from IS to 90
per cent. of the total crop, while with
small seeds the crop reaches maturity
only in successive periods of time, SO
that at no moment in gathering the
crop in could we have the same proper
ton of the whole. Besides, where with
small seeds four successive crops are
obtained, we have six with larger seeds,
their evolution occurring with greater
rapidity.

JARalNo THE cuRcuL,o.
The Process Il Very simple and Requires
But Few Tools

The jarring process is very simple.
Provide tool as shown in cut, which is
an ordinary hoe handle, at the end of
which is n light, hardwood block, the
upper part of which is made concave, so
as to permit being filed with cotton or
deers' hair, and then tightly covered
with leather of some kind. 1t must be
rendered soft, so as to do no injury to
the bark of the tree when used as a
FOUNDER to Jar it. No. 2 represents
frame, that may be made of 2I%x1K-
inch pine, notched and nailed together
at G, with a distance from A to b of
about nine feet, and from b to ID about
Az feet. A cross bar of the same width
and thickness is notched and tightly
nailed at the points u and d. Upon the
frame thus made stretch and tack a
piece of factory cloth three yards long
and ~ yards wide. Provide yourself
with two of these frames; have a boy
carry one. and with the other in your
own hands and the FOUNDER you are
ready for business. Drop the france
under the tree with the sheet side up,
SO that the tree may be about opposite
the point (C) of the sheets. You then
have the ground beneath the tree COW
cred for about nine feet in each direc-
ton.
A sudden blow on few of the larger
limbs. if the tree is large. or one blow
on the body, if the tree is small, will
cause the curculios to drop upon the
sheets, from which they may be picked
experience will enable any eye to detect
them at once. Two or three minutes
will suffice at any tree, hence a large

HANDY GRATING TOOL.

The Cost of Making One Need Not Exc
coed Twenty Five Cents.
The accompanying engraving shows
the side view of complete grating
tool or knife, which is not only per-
feet tool, but also has the decided adj
vantage OF being very cheap.
Almost every person having grating
to do, has about the place an old fat
file or rasp, IL inches or more in length,
that has been thrown aside as worth
less. By taking the old file to black
smith, it can be easily forged into a
tool shaped like the cut. The main
part should be brought to about half
inch square, leaving the wide part (as
shown to be drawn to an edge for a
cutting blade ~ inches wide, which is
TO be used to split the stock, and also
pare it if desired, care being taken in
forging that sufficient steel is left SO
as not to weaken the tool at this point.
This cutting blade should have a mild
temper only, not so hard as to leave
the steel brittle, else the blows given it
with Il mallet in splitting the stock
will be likely to crack the steel. Now
forge the shortest end to wedge shape,

WHITE AT THE THROAT.
Fashion May Decree That 1t Must Be

Fashion May Decree That 1t Must Be
Worn.
The advance guard of the white coll
lar arrived some time ago in the little
lace-trimmed muslin tabs, and the uni
versal resumption of the old-fashioned
linen collar itself seems imminent.
1t has already encircled necks illus'
trious in the realm of fashion, and il
may be taken for granted that it has
come to stay. One does not need TO
be venerable to remember the time when
gown ungarnished by line of white
at the throat was regarded as incom-
plcte. and TO be seen without collar
was to be seen in u neglige equal TO
that of the collarless man to-day.
\ touch of white about the throat
is universally beceming, and when the
edict of Punishment was first decreed
women rebelled and vowed they would
never succUmb to fashion so ugly.
But it is a well-known fact, so mex.
plicable otherwise that psychological
influence must be inferred, that what
ever is the fashion looks well, and
whatever ceases to be the fashion looks
ugly, regardless of intrinsic merits
