The Sap of Trees.
From the Forest and Stream.

From the Forest and Stream.
Probably nearly nine out of every
ten believe that sap ascends in the
spring and returns in the fall. AL
though I have never been able to find
anything to the contrary in any book
I have ever seen, l know from long
and careful observation that this is
not so. The sap never decends. 1t
fulfils it's office in causing the growth
of the leaves and adding another to
the rings which indicate the annual
growth of the tree. So soon as the
leaves fall the sap begins to reascend.
This can be proved in various ways.
Any farmer who has cut a pile of
hardwood in November has noticed the
sapfies gathering e.rOund the ends of
the sticks on warm days. They are at
tracted by the sap, which can be seen
issuing from the ends of the sticks,
which sap had already begun to as
cend before the sticks were cut. Any
hunter who has set line of log traps
for sable has noticed the sap flowing
from maple sticks in warm days in No
vember. cartridges begin to bud in
November, and find something besides
dry twigs, or they would not bud. But
a still more convincing proof is that
in some warm falls have known ma
pie syrup to be made and sold in guam
titles Of several gallons at time. Pus-
sy willows, where rowing in wet plac-
es, often bloom in warm November
and December. One can see that the
buds on the horse chestnuts are swell

There is no JOY in this world equal
to the happiness of motherhood. A
wOman's health is her dearest possess
sion. Good looks, good times, happi-
ness, love and it's continuance, depend
on her health. Almost all of the sick
ness of women is traceable directly or
indirectly to some arrangement of or
cams distinctly feminine. Troubles of
this kind are often neglected because
a very natural and proper modesty
keeps women away from physicians,
whose insistence upon examinat ton
