White man turned Yellow

Great CONSERVATION was felt bv

have developed it to such an extent

suaded under any circumstances to
walk down the prison tracks at night

husband was different, yet there was
in the minds of the fair petitioners the
thought that there was no place better
adapted for prayer for the increasing
matrimonial prospects than the Shrine
of st. Joseph. patron saint of matri-
mony
It is expected, too, that by June
there will be several weddings. al
though at present the young women
are keeping their own counsel There
is no doubt of the fact. however, that
they prayed without ceasing at St. Jo-
seph's church. They have with them
small leaden images of st. Joseph con-
cealed in their pocketbooks These

enclosed in tiny leaden cylinders and
carried as charms TO bring about the
wishes of the petitioners-a husband

The Reverend Father McAvoy took
a deep interest in the attendance OF
the young women, and it is said that
the reverend matchmaker secretly
gave advice to the Young men that
they should try in every way to live
up TO the ideals of the women. The
priest is encouraged over his cam
raign. and when the period OF roses

reason to fell still more satisfied as
to the results OF his advice.

SAGE ADVICE OF A FATHER.

"My son." said fond but wise
parent, "you are leaving me to go
out into the world. 1 have nothing
to give but advice. Never tell lie.
"Always read your contract. A
man might consider he is getting a
sinecure if he were offered a position
picking blossoms off century plant,
but, you see, he wouldn't have re-
munerative occupation if he were paid
on piecework.
"Be not overcritical. Even the
most ordinary sort of genius can tell
when the other fellow is making a
fool of himself.
Remember that the young man,
like the anglers worm, is rather bet
ter for being visibly alive.
'Be careful in the choice of your
surroundings. Environment will do
great deal for a man. For exam
pie, -four and water in a china jug is
cream sauce; in a pail on the side
walk it is billsticker's paste.
Don't forget that there's time
for everything and that everything
should be done in its proper time.
Never hunt for bargains in umbrellas
on a rainy day.
"You may make enemies. IF you
know who they are don't mention
them. Silence is golden it saves the
money that might otherwise be spent
in defending a libel suit. If you
don't know who they are-well, abuse
lavished on a concealed enemy is like
charity indiscriminately bestowed.
It's good thing wasted" "

TO BUILD CONCRETE HOUSE.

Concrete is the best building mate
rial in the world, three times cheaper
than wood, FIVE times cheaper than
stone, and superior to either.
Proportions for Mixing eight
barrows of slaked lime, we'll deluged
with water add fifteen barrows of
sand mix this to a cream consisten-
cy. Then add sixty barrows of coarse
gravel, which must be worked well
and completely. You can then throw
into this mixture stone of any shape
and size, up to as wide as you make
your walls.
Form molds for the walls of the
house by fixing boards against up
right standards in pairs around the
building where the walls are to stand.
They must be we'll braced to with
stand the immense pressure outward
as the material settles. Standards
should be from to 8 feet apart and
the space between standards to be
made as wide as you wish thickness
of wall. Into this mold throw the
concrete material as fast as you choose,
the more promiscuously the better.
In short time it will set as hard as
rock.
To make frost-proof stud the walls
inside with 2x4 and lath and plaster.
It will make rat-proof, frost-proof
and fre-proof building, and if good
lime is used and properly mixed
should last thousand years.-C. w.

PROFITS IN RAISING TREES.

It has been estimated that the tele-
graph lines of the country require
nearly 600, 900 new poles every year.
The cost of these is more than 81 ,ooo-
900.
It is also estimated that there are
more than 62o, 900, 900 cross-ties in
use by the railroads and that 1000, :
900 ties are required every year for
renewals.
The telephone and light companies
use nearly as many poles as the tele-
graph companies, and the street sys-
TENS of the cities use nearly as many
cross-ties as the steam railroads.
To awaken the farmers of the West
to the need of raising plantations of
wood to supply these needs of tele-
graph, telephone and railroad COM
panies, the forestry division of the
Agricultural Department has issued
bulletin to show that such work is
profitable.
The prices of pole and tie timber
have gone up nearly so per cent. in
the last ten years. ]. Hope Sutor of
the Ohio and Little Kanawha Rail-
road, an expert on the tie question,
told the Central Association that in
ten years more the prices of ties would
be so per cent. greater than at pres
ent. He also said:
"No material has yet been found as
substitute for the wooden tie, and
no satisfactory economical methed of
preserving the life of the wood or
prolonging its durability has yet been
discovered and, excepting the minor
questions of properly seasoning and
piling, the use of the plate, suitable
ballast and perfect drainage, and Incl
dentally climatic conditions, no seri-
Gus consideration of the future tie
supply has yet been had"
It is for this reason the experts
say:
From every reasonable point of
view it appears that great profits are
to be made in the growing of forest
trees in the next twenty-five years. !"
1t is declared that operations Should
begin in the middle West. There
has already been a great deal of tree
planting on the treeless prairies of
the central West, especially in Kan
sas and Nebraska. The forestry ex-
perts have found one plantation near
Hutchinson, Kan, planted with ca
talpa trees which in ten years has pro-
duced net value of $Io7.55 to the
acre.
In Iowa, near Men1o, twenty
fve-year-old plantation of red cedar
showed a net value of $500. 54 to the
acre. Usage orange, locust and har-
dy catalpa are the best trees to grow
for these commercial purposes.

STILL HE DOUBTS.

An old German was on his death
bed. In his earlier years he had led
wild life, but since the death of
Schneider, one of his boon compan-
ions, he had reformed and given up
his bad habits. This Schneider in
his day had been a mighty drinker,
famous for his capacity and carouses.
The Priest was ministering to the
dying man, consoling him with vi
sions of the Paradise he would soon
enter, telling him that he would meet
there his old friends and what a Joy
it would be to see them all again.
The dying man asked feebly, "Vill
Schneider be there, your Reverence?"
Thinking to give him pleasure, the
Priest replied, eyes, Schneider will
be there"
"Ach," said the other, "dot is
very bad +! All dose dringings und
eadings und fghdings all over again
all dot beer un1 vhishey."
"But there will be no drinking in
Heaven" said the Priest"
"Bnt you said Schneider would be

ply.

THE G1GGLING GIRL.

If you tell her she's modest or tell her she's vain,
She'll giggle.
She heeds not the fact that it gives you pain,
That giggle.
Though you may address her in serious key,
Make speech that presents no occasion for glee,
Or even for smiling, her answer will be
A giggle.
She runs to the door when her Chawley boy rings
And giggles.
While helping him take off his cold winter things
She giggles.
When seated for sparkling within the bright rays
of dollar per gas or the CRATES CHEEKY blaze,
She answers the sugary things that he says
With giggles.
In church if she catches girly chums eye,
She giggles.
There's no provocation. she doesn't know why,
Just gigges,
She'll arch up her eyebrows like back of the cat
That stands off the dog in the rear of the fiat
And give her eyelashes humorous bat
And giggle.
If called to the bier of a dead, silent friend,
She'd giggle.
If Gabriel's trump should bring time to an end
She'd giggle.
If up to the great judgment bar she were led
To list to her fate with the quick and the dead
She'd think it was funny and shake her fool head
And QiUQle. -DenU6T Post.
