AanhaIt and Trees.

Experience in the east in regard to
the effect of asphalt pavement upon
trees by the roadside has taught OBJ
servers that the influence of the inn
pervious pavement depends upon the
character of the soil Where there is
a substratum of rock the trees will
suffer, because the, pavement will pre-
vent moisture from reaching the roots
from above, from which direction all
nourishment for the trees must come.
On the other hand, where there is
deep soil the roots win find plenty of
nourishment under the pavement,
which serves to keep the moisture
from evaporating and holds 1t In sup
ply for the trees.
1t will probably be found that where
trees have died as result of asphalt.
ing the roots We're cut by the exca-
vators for the concrete foundation
Trees which are thus robbed of roots
must be deprived of branches sufficient
to Offset the loss of nourishment. The
builders Of cement footpaths are also
responsible for the injury of a good
many trees. They chop out all the
roots that interfere with the laying of
cinder foundation, and some trees
have their main roots very close to the
surface of the soil. Exchange.

Don't Be Afraid to work.

Que thing that keeps, young men
down is their fear of work. They aim
to find genteel occupations, so they can
dress well and not soil their clothes
and handle things with the tips of their
fingers. They do not like to get their
shoulders under the wheel, and they
prefer to give orders to others or figure
as masters and let some one else do
the drudgery. There is no doubt that
Incidence and laziness are the chief OBJ
6tacles to success.
When we see boy who has just Sc
cured position take hold of every
thing with both hands and Jump right
into his work." as if he meant to sue
ceed, we have confidence that he will
prosper, but If he stands around and
asks questions when told to do any
thing; if he tells you that this or that
belongs to some other boy to do, for it
is not his work; if he does not try to
carry out his orders in the correct way;
Ii he wants thousand explanations
when asked to run an errand and
makes his employer think that he could
have done the whole thing himself,
one feels like discharging such boy
on the spot, for he is convinced that he
was not cut out for success. That boy
will be cursed with mediocrity or will
be failure. There is no place in this
century for the lazy man. He will be
pushed to the wall.-Success.

sly Little Eishermen.

In nearly all streams where the cur
rent is swift you will find the nests of
the caddice worms tucked down be-
tween two rocks or fastened to fiat
stone on the brink of a waterfall.
These little nests catch stray water
bugs and sometimes entangle small
fish. They are made Of silken fabric.
which the worm spins with its mouth.
and are shaped like funnel, the lar
ger end being pointed up stream, so that
the water rushing past spreads them
out in position. The nets are very
strong and quite similar in construc-
tion to spiders web.
Close by his net the little fisherman
builds his home. Lift up the nearby
rocks and under one Of them you will
find little bunch of pebbles bound
together by silk threads. In among
these is small silk tube in which the
worm lives. Were it not for the peb-
bles attached to it the caddice worms
home would go sailing down the
stream.

The handy and charming silk muff
Innings introduced last year are once
more to the fore Intended to slip
through muffs either as a renovation
or quick transformation to harmo-
nize with each costume they are very
tasteful. In no case is omitted the
fluffy frill, often embroidered, and nes-
tling may be flower, over which
droops the deep lace founce annexed
to all dress muffs, whether in fur or
any rich material Evening and brides
maids muffs are quite dreams with
their delightful ornamentation Of span
giles and flowers, which strain all the
inventive power of artistic workers.
Such lovely conceptions, within decid-
edly the scope of cultured women, are,
alas, too fragile as rule to be made
beforehand on speculation. 1t is only
in the midst of the treasures of the
florists themselves that the creative
idea sparkles in unison with the whims
Of the day can be struck. Here once
more the home worker, through ad-

where she ought to triumph! The new
dat and enlarged shape Of muffs should

THE PRAIRIE DOG.
How He Is Hunted by Indians, WI
Use Him as Food.

How He Is Hunted by Indians, who
Use Him as Food.
Many of the western Indian tribes
regard the prairie dog as one Of the
choicest of game animals. The Navajo
in particular, while he cannot be pre-
vailed upon to eat rabbit, is greedily
fond Of fat prairie dog. Large commu-
mites of these small animals abound
on the western plains, and the Navajo
has resorted to many ingenious meth
DDS for trapping his coveted dainty.
One of them is by the aid Of a bit Of
mirror placed at the entrance to bur
row. When the animal ventures from
his bedroom, deep underground, he sees
familiar image mocking him at the
front door, and he hurries out to CON
front the impudent intruder, when he
Is pinned to the ground with an arrow.
But the most effective method is
what the Indians call the rain hunt"
AS soon as the steady downpour Of
summer rains begins every Navajo who
can walk repairs to the prairie dog vii
tage with hoes, sharp sticks or any dig
ging implement. With these they hol-
low out trenches that will lead the
storm into as many burrows as possi-
BILE. Soon a little stream is pouring
down each small home, and the inmate,
much disturbed, pops out to see what
the matter can be. Many of the AMI
mails remain underground until they
are drowned and their bodies float to
the surface. After such hunts, in which
many pounds of prairie dogs are gen
orally secured, there is feast for days
in the Navajo huts.
