The Trees of Paris.

Paris is probably the only city in the
world which has trees that bloom twice
a year habitually. These are the horse
chestnuts. There are seventeen thou
sand of them planted in the squares and
boulevards, and twenty-six thousand
buttonwoods. The trees of Paris are
numbered, just like the people, the
cabs, the animals, the lampposts and
the matches. These horse chestnuts
have only been doing this trick for
about five years, and only some of them
have made a practice Of it. These die,
or apparently die. in the latter part of
July, and all the leaves fall off.
month or so afterward they all come
out into flower again and little green
leaves shoot forth continually until
they are nipped by the first frost. There
is a reason for this, and the scientists
worked over the matter for a long
time to be able to explain it. Briefly
and unscientifically. the trees lose theil
leaves because they are attacked by 8
little fungus which is blown upon then
by the wind; then, being still full Of
sap, they start to put forth leaves al
over again.

PLAYED HER LAST GARD.
How Her Many vexations Finally cul.
minated ON the Car.


How Her Many vexations Finally Cal
minated on the Car.
One explanation is that she was not
in good humor when she took the
car. She had seen big man beating
little horse and when she had pro-
tested after the manner OF an excited
woman he had told her to "Gwa'n an,
chase yerself." and when she got q
policeman he would make no arrest un-
til she had agreed to make a COM
plant and she had not gone forty feet
before she rued this rash pledge to
appear in the role of a prosecuting wit
ness.
The car started as soon as both her
feet were on the steps and her voice
was sharp when she told the conductor
that every passenger had to make a
run and jump to get aboard. For her
part she wished that electricity had
never been harnessed. People needed
eyes In the backs Of their heads these
days.
Owing to her agitated frame of mind
1t was not unnatural that she should
hand the conductor plugged quarter,
says the Detroit Free Press. He was at
first disposed to pocket the coin and
the implied reflection on his ability
to look after the interests of the com
pany, but her curt request for the right
change was her undoing.
ssThis is no good to me, madam" he
said, quietly; sit is plugged"
| Being address as madam" when she
does not enjoy that felicity may have
tended to break her up still more Al
lany rate. she announced that she had

no way Of knowing whether she gave
him that coin. and that II she did she
probably got It from some other con-
ductor.
"You give 1t to him all right enough.
I seen you." said the iarge-featured
woman across the aisle.
The only reply to this was a glare
that never touched the volunteer wit
ness. But the angry woman had an
other string to her bow. The conductor
was chewing gum. "See here, sir" and
there was a veritable rip-saw edge on
her voice, "you go outside and finish
your lunch. We can fix this thing up
afterward."
There was litter along both sides,
the conductor was redder than toy
balloon as he ran the gantlet and the
question of the plugged coin was not
resumed.

WROTE COLUMNS OF LEADERS

Sir Edwin Arnold Could FIJI an Edi-
toriai Page with Ease.
Sir Edwin Arnold, whose recent long
Illness has left him totally blind, was
one of the most prolific writer's in Eng
land. He was for years connected with
the London Telegraph. and 1t is said
in the office that he has written over
10000 leaders for the paper, in addition
to which vast journalistic output he
has contrived to write some twenty or
thirty volumes Of poetry and literature
and to visit all parts Of the world. 1t
was through a simple advertisement in
the Athenaeum for a leader-writer that
Sir Edwin became connected with the
Largest Circulation" That such a
man would very soon get to the head
of affairs was a foregone conclusion.
AS an editor he was loved and respect
ed by all who had to deal with him,
for while his knowledge is prodigious
and his judgment unrivaled his cour-
tesy is unfailing.
In one respect Sir Edwin Arnold will
suffer less in his aff1iction than many
might, for his memory is SO prodigious
that though reading may be denied him
he need never lack the delights of lit
erature. A striking instance of Sir Ed.
wins extraordinary power in this di
rection has been recorded by Major
| Pond in his recent book in connection
with the visit paid by Sir Edwin to
Walt Whitman. The American poet
had presented him with volume OF
| his Leaves of Grass" and Major POND
in the presence of both was reading
aloud a random line, whereupon Sil
Edwin stopped him, observing, LET
me go on from there" saying which he
took up the lines and without break
recited the whole poem. 'sTry me any
where else," he said at the end, and
Major Pond complying, Sir Edwin
capped every line he named without 6
break and showed his perfect familiar
ity with the book from end to end. NJ

A MONTANA GIRL.
She Was Pale and BloodIess, But
Now Has a Good Complexion.
Her Ailments Gone.
From the Pioneer Press, s.. Paul, MINI.

From Florence, Ravalli county,
Mont, comes cheerful letter, the
writer of which is willing to tell how
she obtained the rich glow of health
that thousands of women are envious
to possess. Before she found the
right remedy she was in that pale,
emaciated condition which doctors
call anaemic, and which, if neglect
ed, inevitably means early death.
Miss May Smith, whose address is
given in the first words of this ar
ticle, says:
About five years ago I became i'll
without apparant cause, and I grew
worse until I was completely run
down. The least exertion would
bring on very severe pain in the pit
of my stomach. At other times I
would have pain in my head, some
thing like neuralgia. My kidneys
were very weak and my limbs always
felt tired. / was troubled with short
ness of breath and / had pale, blood
less appearance. There was smoth-
ering sensation about my heart,
which would beat heavily, with fits of
palpitation. For three years was
under the care of two doctors, neither
of whom seemed to know the nature
of my trouble. They treated me for
| dyspepsia, liberation of the stomach,
gastritus and neuralgia, but without
good results.
