THE ARCH OF CHINESE ORIGIN.

The Chinese structures that impress
the engineering observer most strong
ly are the bridges, the pagodas, the
city walls and certain details of build
ing construction The arch, that
beautiful structure from the scientific
as well as the aesthetic point of view,
is generally believed to be of Roman
origin. 1t was not known to, or at
least never used by, the Greeks; and
although the shape appears in certain
specimens of Hindoo architecture, it
is of false variety--that is, a success
sion of protruding corbels In China,
on the other hand, we find it of most
widespread and general application,
and examination shows that the prin-
ciples involved are thoroughly under
stood. The universal use of the design
in all parts of the country and the -.
doubted antiquity of so many of "a
existing examples clearly demGh-
strate that it long antedates any pos
sible foreign suggestions, and &C a
long way to establish it as of Chinese
origin--a department, however, which,
like printing and gunpowdera neyerI
passed beyond the national borders-l

APPRECIATION OF A BON MOT.

On Aug. y. 1907 Jerome Bonaparte
married Princess Frederick Catherine,
daughter of the king of Wurtemberg.
AS king OF Westphalla he offered his
divorced wife Elizabeth Patterson. a
home within his dominions, also the
titles of princess of Smalcalden, with
a pension of two hundred thousand
francs per year. In regard to the
former, she replied that WestphaLa
was large kingdom, but not quite
large enough for two queens, and
to the latter proposition, having al
ready accepted Napoleons annuity of
sixty thousand francs, she made the
oft-quoted response that she preferred
"being sheltered under the wing OF
an eagle to being suspended from the
bill of goose" Napolean. with his
high appreciation OF bon mot, de-
sired to know what favor he could be-
stow upon woman capable of this
witticism Elizabeth replied through
the French minister at Washington
that she was ambitious, and would
like to be duchess. The emperor
promised the gift. but never conferred
It, Notwithstanding her unremltting
yet ever futile struggle for recognition.
Madame Bonaparte cherished always
the most enthusiastic admiration for
khe genius of the man who had blight
her life. In one OF her letters to
father, written from Europe.

"But you do said the colonel,

"Well, won't run this toime," said
Tim.
The regiment went into action and
when things were getting pretty hot
the colonel gave the order "lie down"
That left no one standing in front
of Tim and he ran for the rear as
fast as he could 20. He came a
big stump and threw himself behind
it. Later the regiment retreated and
there was Tim behind the stump

MOTHERS WORRY CHILDREN.
The Little Ones Enjoy Quiet aud - d.
Necessary That They Have IL.

In an article entitled Through
Baby Eyes," which has appeared in
Trained Motherhood, Frances Esmond
asks mothers if it has ever occurred to
them to wonder in what light they are
regarded by their children. The writer
says:
Now and then we see few pitifu
jokes of the imitation of older folks by
the children, and they serve to make
us think. For instance, / am reminded
of one of mother who said to her
little girl, why. Mabel, what makes
you scream and talk so loud, when
your little brother is so quiet at his
playa" to which the child makes an
swer, "Oh, mother, he is the grocer
boy, and L am you scolding him for
bringing the meat so late for dinner.
We do not know how closely we are
watched by these little ones and thus
the necessity arises to watch ourselves
that we lead not these little imitatora
into paths that are aside from those Of
Quietness and peace
Even a young baby seems to know
intuitively just the mood of the moth

ritable, in some unaccountable man
ner her mood seems to be reflected in
the baby to a certain extent Speak
gently to a little one, it is quieted;
the sweet eyes fill with tears, and the
baby heart is hurt.
A young woman who was fond of
children was visiting a friend who
had a particularly nervous and eNcit-
able baby. The mother complained
that she could not get the baby to
take a midday nap and as result the
little one was cross and fretful the
whole afternoon. She said she had
tried in every way to get the baby to
sleeps but always ended in fret for
both the baby and herself. At noon
the visitor took the baby and went to
a quiet room. At first the little fell
low kicked and twisted, cried and fig
tied as usual, but the new nurse gen.

Jesse Rover, the farmer of the

A reliable farmer in this county
says that if you bore a quarter inch
hole in the heart of a fruit tree or
any kind of tree that is infected
with insects and inject as much dry
sulphur as possible, then insert a
plug to keep the sulphur in place, it
will cure blight, make the tree strong
and healthy, and in no way injure it.
This is a valuable boon to fruit grow
ers, as the sulphur goes through all
parts of the tree, being absorbed from
the heart, and makes Il good healthy
color. The writer of this article saw
trees that were nearly dead from some
kind of insects, that were living and
had a beautiful thrifty appearance
after being treated as above. This is
one of the most valuable discoveries
of the age to fruit growers, and we
present it for the benefit of our read
