More than 40 plants enter into the

WATERING TREES.
A System of Sub-Irrigntion which l.
Very Simple Hut Effective in
Every Instance.

In transplanting trees, success de-
pends largely upon the water supply.
Most trees do the major part of their
growing in the springtime. After the
middle of summer practically all wood
growth ceases, and the balance of the
year is devoted to hardening up the
wood to withstand the cold of winter,
SO that the wood growth of trees de-
pends largely upon the kind of spring
and June weather encountered. If the
spring is backward one, and May or
June drought ensues, even though
slight, no matter how splendid the
growing weather of the latter part of
summer and fall may be, the wood
growth of trees will be light. There

REASON FOR CURLS
English Scientist Exhibits n Model
Illustrating How Natural Curii-
ness Is Produced.

At recent conversazione of the
Royal society, says the London Graphic,
a curious exhibit was shown by Prof.
Arthur Thomson, namely, a model to
illustrate how natural curlincsS of hair
is produced. According to the cNplana-
ton three factors require consideration
in the production of curly hair: (D
The hair shaft; (2) the hair muscle,
and (3) the sebaceous gland. Straight
hair is always circular on section, and
is usually thicker than curly hair,
which is ribbonlike and fine. In order
that the muscle may act as an erector
of the hair it is requisite that the shaft

"GOING TO BUY A BUGGY"
a Mortgage Gotten Out of the Way
Typical story of IA Nebraska
Farmers Experience.

few years ago hard times made
the Western farmer deny himself
everything save the barest necessities
of life. Then came the great crop
year of 1897 and with it a story.
4 Nebraska farmer carried a mort
gage of $4,000 Oh his property, and it
was a burden hard to contend with.
The wheat crop in '97 was enormous
and prices were high. He appeared
at the bank shortly after harvest,
pulled out $4,000 and asked for loan
of 5000 to enable him to cancel the
mortgage note. The banker, who held
thenote, urged him not to bother about
it, but go and buy cattle with his
$4,000, feed his corn crop and in that
way get the maximum for mis- product.
"No, sir" replied the farmer, Il want
to pay that note now. Then when L
harvest the corn crop I'm goin' to pay
you back that 5000 [ just borrowed,
and then do you know what I'm going
to do?" and his honest face beamed all
over with pleasure. I'm going to buy
a buggy!" This little incident tells the
story of thousands of others out IN
Nebraska, and the fact that during the
past six months one concern in Chicago
shipped 20 one firm in Omaha alone one
hundred and thirty carloads of buggies
and carriage averaging about 22 TO the
car, makes it very evident that prosper
ity is with Nebraska. 1t is wonderful
state with great resources, and the
crops of the past few years have put
Nebraska farmers in an enviable posi-

GETTING A DINNER.
How Two Scheming Rascnls VIC

Paris boulevard.

The other day rather amusing
scene was witnessed on Paris boule-
ward. Two friends of rather eXcitable
temperament perceived quietly sitting
at the foot of a table in front of a cafe
an enormous dog. with head, teeth
and claws that would have done credit
to lion.
well" said one of them, "the owner
of that creature need be afraid of no
body with such protector
"What, that dog" said the other.
"Why, he wouldn't move a paw"
The dispute grew warm, and the first
peaker emphatically declared:
II bet a dinner that you won't ven-
Ire to touch its master!"
Not venture, indeed! You shall soon
see." was the quick rejoinder.
So saying. the latter dealt box on
the ears of a gentleman who was drink
ing a glass of beer at the table where
the dog sat.
The gentleman uttered a loud cry and
rushed upon his assailant; the dog re-
mained impassive. An explanation fol-
lowed, and the injured gentleman was
informed of the wager in question.
But the dog isn't mine" he howled,
in tremendous passion.
An hour later, however, you might
have observed through the windows Of
a famous restaurant a little distance
away three jovial guests sitting before
sumptuously spread table, and dis
cussing the merits of several bottles
of old wine. They were the bettors and
their victim.-Tit-Bits.

HOW HAIR cURLs NATUKALLY.

of the hair imbedded in the skin should
be sufficiently strong to resist any ten
dency to bend; unless this be so the
leverlike action necessary to produce
its erection is destroyed. When the
hair is fine and ribbonlike the shaft is
not sufficiently stout to resist the strain
of the muscle and naturally assumes
curve, the degree of curvature depend
ing on the development of the muscle,
the resistance of the hair and the size
of the sebaceous gland. The curve thus
produced becomes permanent and af-
fects the follicle in which the hair is
developed. the softer cells at the root
of the hair becoming more horny as
they advance toward the surface, retain
the form of the follicle; the cells on the
concave side of the hair being more
compressed than those on the convex
side. In this way the hair retains the
form of the follicle after it has escaped
from it,
