WHEN WELCOME is WORN OUT
TactfuI Hints of Hosts Who Are Weary
of Guests.

An Ohio host, wearied out of all en-

chose as his medium the family prayer
after breakfast, and said: 20 Lord,

leave us on the 10 o'clock train this
morning" l prefer the subtler and
more reverent method of another
Ohioan, the father of William Dean
Howells, the novelist. His practice
was, when visitor had worn out his
welcome. to be called away on busi-
ness and to say to his guest: II sup
pose you will not be here when I re-
turn, so ! will wish you good-by."

the boys was the formula used by DR..
Vaughn, when, as headmaster of Har-

Black Rain In Ireland.

A few weeks ago, in the Mullingar
district of Ireland, there fell what
seemed like shower Of black rain
SO black indeed, that it obscured the
sky and sent fowls to roost. The fall
extended over an area of some miles.
While the rain continued lights were
obliged to be lighted. birds roasted,
and, as is often the case, many people
imagined that the last day had come.
According to a meteorologist, the cause
Of this singular shower was only SCOT.
Although it fell in district far re-
moved from the large manufacturing
towns, it was explained that during the
previous week there had been strong
winds blowing from the northeast and
these winds, collecting the SCOT from
the manufacturing towns of the north,
had carried it at high altitude In a
southwesterly direction. When the
soot-laden air met moist wind from
the southwest the latter parted with
its moisture and the former with its
soot-hence the shower of black rain.

TREES IN NEW ZEALAND.
The Kauri, n Pine. Grows to nm Enor.
nous Height.

nous Height.
From the Chautauuuan: The kauri
is the monarch of the New Zealand
forest, an indigenous pine, growing .
enormous height. frequently eighty
feet, before it sends out bough, while
its average diameter is from eight to
nine feet. 1t is said to be 500 years in
reaching maturity. There is no under
brush in a kauri forest. the prince Of
domain. The totara is another species
of pine. which, however. has none OF the
characteristics of the coniferae of other
countries, either in habit or in appear
ance. The most singular of all is the
rata, peculiar tree with somewhat the
nature of a parasite. If it springs up
near rimu pine it winds about it like
a huge vine, its tightening coils grad
ually crushing the life out of the un-
fortunate pine. When it reaches the
top it sends out branches and stands
a hollow shell, its coils knit closely to-
gether by a dense network of fibres.
which appear in the last stage of its
growth. 1t has like affinity for its
own species and a second rata spring
ing up beside one of earlier growth
will absorb and destroy it as it de-
stroys the rimu. If, however, neither
rimu nor rata is within reach, it grows
up respectable and ell-behaved tree.
