1t was probably in the character of a

Millions Made by Planting Trees.

Any one who takes n vital interest in
the welfare of his grandchildren can
insure their being rich by planting
trees on treeless land. which land he
can leave to them in his will. Some
big British fortunes have been provid-
ed for in this manner. y predecessor
Of the present Duke of Athole had lot
of land, but it was not especially valu-
able-in fact, he was "land poor"
He determined that his descendants
should fare better and so began plant
ing trees. In the course of his lifetime
he planted 1905 10 larch trees alone.
covering an area of 1921 acres. His
last plantation covered $500 acres,
which in the ordinary way becomes a
forest of mature timber 40 years after
planting. Trimmed down TO about $50
trees an acre each tree will contain at
least 90 cubic feet of timber, which. ut
% cents n foot, gives n sum of S4,3T5
an acre. n total for the value of the
timber on the last plantation alone OF
$34. 100000.
The whole initial outlay for this plan
tatiOn. which has so increased the
wealth of the ancient house of Athole,
is said to have been only about $4,000
for the Seeding trees and the cost of
the labor of planting them. The main
tcnance of the wood was paid for out
of the profits arising from the sale of
young wood when thinning the planta-
tions.

A Mule as IA Life Saver,

The mine mule knows a thing or two
quite as well as does the army mule.
In one of the mines in the Pittsburg
district the ever patient mule proved
himself possessed of an almost human
sense of coming danger. One morning
when the full shift was at work there
occurred an unusual thing. The air
currents had seemed defective, and
there was i restless feeling among the
miners, something like the uneasiness
of live stock before a storm. A few
days previous chamber had been
closed on account of gas. and the men
were instinctively thinking of what
that might mean. Suddenly there was
a clatter of hoofs, and a mule appear
ed. Its long ears were Guivering, and
its intelligent eyes were full of terror.
1t gave n shrill bray and then was
gone down the entry, broken traces fly
ing after it. The men looked at one
another, and then the feverishness Of
the air moved them with one impulse.
Dropping picks. they fled precipitately.
making a headlong dash through the
labyrinth for the open air. With scared
faces other miners Joined them, and
while they were wondering what it
all meant dull, deep explosion went
rumbling through the hollow back OF
them, followed by wave upon wave OF
noxious vapors. Then they understood.
When the bodies of the few. poor men
who had been hopelessly entrapped
were recovered. another was tenderly
carried out with theirs-that of the lit
tie gray mule that sounded the warn

SNAKE, EGGS AND A JUG.
A MOccasin's Appetite and Lack OF
sense Led to His Death.

A Moccasin's Appetite and Lack of
sense Led to His Death
A party of JacksonN1ie mechanics
were at work on the Matanzas river
raising a sunken dredgeboat They
lived on board of the big lighter on
which they worked in a small house
on the deck. One noon their bill of
fare was somewhat strengthened by
some wild turkey eggs which had been
found by some of the party while hunt
ing on shore. After the hungry en-
gineers had destroyed a heavy dinner
they left their dining room and return
ed to work. The doors and windows
were all open, and the cook did not
clear off the table for some time.
In this interval a large water moe
casin of near six feet crawled on board
the lighter and wriggled into the din
ing room through the open door. In
his prospecting tour he climbed the
table leg, and here, with snakes
fondness for eggs, he went in for a
feast. One of the turkey eggs lay
alone by plate, and the rest were in
a dish on the other side of the table
In the center stood a large water jug.
and right here the willy serpent slipped
up. After swallowing the lonesome
egg, he started for the main supper
and in his artless manner crawled
through the handle of the jug. 1t was
q rather tight fit, and he had to stop
about half way through on account OF
the egg, which enlarged him some
what. So, stretching forward, he bolt
ed another egg and thereby fastened
himself
On each side of the jug handle was
an egg on his inside, and he could
move neither backward nor forward,
practically riveted in position. He was
soon found in this peculiar situation
by the cook, who speedily killed him.
The reporter was shown the skin of
the snake with Il crease still in the
middle from the tremendous pressure,
and he was also permitted TO gaze on
the jug whose handle proved so fatal.
