nlrdn plant trees.

An old Arizona woodchopper says
the bluejays have planted thousands
of the trees now growing all over Ari-
zona. He says these birds have hab-
it of burying small seeds in the ground
with their beaks, and that they fre-
qdent pinon trees and bury large num-
Ders of the small pine nuts in the
ground, many of which sprout and
grow. He was walking through the
pines with an eastern gentleman a
short time ago, when one of these
birds flew from tree to the ground,
stuck his bill in the earth and quickly
flew away. When told what had hap
pened the eastern man was sceptical;
but the two went to the spot and with
a knife blade dug out sound pine
nut from depth of about an inch and
a half Thus it will be seen that ma
ture has her own plan for forest per-
etuation.-Indianap News.

safety in school hours, as we'll as their

Green cannot supply the demand for
teachers, nor that women employed
in New Jersey schools are resigning
to accept better places in other
states. Trenton Times.
One thing is certain. The city
streets ought to be regularly sprinkled
when they are dusty if it happens to
be June or January and if the present
method is not satisfactory then ii
devolves upon the Common Council
to provide some new method. Under
anv circumstances it would .be well
for the Council to look into the sub
jeot and see if the service can be any
way bettered. d.-Plainfield Daily Press.
The Legislature must soon take
some action to restrict the pound
fisheries along the New Jersey coast,
which are multiplying at an alarming
rate. For several years the pleasure
Of hand-line fishermen has been des-
troyed by these pounds, which gather
in the fish as they come up the coast
and prevent them from getting into
Barnegat Bay. Last year there were
three Of these pounds along the Ocean

Every year the great need Of the
preservation of the forests becomes
more apparent. Last week the flames
DESTROYED hundreds of acres of timber
in Monmouth, Atlantic and Ocean
counties, not to mention the fire in
Middlesex county. In Pennsylvania
and through the west the flames create
the same havoc with much more loss
according to the kind of timber de-
stroyed.
It is time some definite action was
taken which really amounted to some
thing. Not only should the national
government make some decided move
far more effective than ever before,
but the States should also treat the
matter with all seriousness.
The thousands of dollars being
appropriated throughout New Jersey
to investigate the mosquitoes and
ascertain how to exterminate them,
might better be spent ON the forests
in the State. Everyone knows how
to exterminate the mosquito. Fill up
the marshes and low lands and the
mosquito will disappear, but not be.

however, but it is not impossible to

for the purpose.
Let the mosquito alone and investi-
gate the forest fires. Learn how to
fight them, control them and finally
eliminate them then some real good
will be accomplished for the common
wealth and country.

DOG WITH GOLD TOOTH.
Philadelphia Canine of the "BulIS
Breed Has Remarkable Mouth
Adornment.

A well-known Philadelphia pet
stock dealer some years ago hit upon
very odd and effective way to iden-
tify dog, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord. The owner of this dog called
on him and said:
"Jack, my valuable bull, is running
away all the time. So far he has
been traced and found in each Of his
flights, but it has been amatter of
difficulty, and l am afraid that some
day he will be irretrievably lost be-
cause of the lack of some positive
and striking mark of identification. -
"You want" said the dealer ''a
good Identifying mark? Well, I'll tell
you what to do. Go to dentist and
have a gold crown put on one of the
dogs front teeth. The crown won't
hurt the tooth; on the contrary, it will
preserve it; and always it will be a
mark whereby your dog will be
readily known"
The other did as the dealer advised.
and since then there have appeared
from time to time advertisements In
the newspapers that began:

Freak Calculation.

We all like to puzzle our brains over
things which give certain and strange
results, but which we cannot explain.
Here's puzzle that puzzles every
body: Take the number of your living
brothers, double the amount, add to
it three, multiply the result by five,
add to it the number of living sis
ters, multiply the result by ten, add
ito it the number of deaths of broth
ers and sisters, subtract $50 from the
result. The right-hand figure will be
the number of deaths, the middle
figure the number of living sisters
and the left the number of liv-

MINT IN THEIR COFFEE.
Maksfake of a Society Leader Taken
for the Real Thing by Ann

That the advice, Watch how others

good to social aspirants, was illus
trated the other evening at dinner
given by young matron in honor of
q guest of acknowledged social stand
ing, relates the Chicago Tribune.
When coffee was served, and with it
the indispensable chocolate mints, the
guest was seen to take one of the
sweets and toy with it gracefully over
her coffee cup. Instantly every wom-
an at the table did likewise. Evidently
some new wrinkle of fashion was about

guest and onthe mint drop. Determin-
alton to follow the leader and give no
sign that they were notin the habit of
doing this new trick every day was
written on every face. The sudden
calm caused the guest to look up, and
as she did so she inadvertently dropped
her mint into the tiny cup. To her sur
prise a series of c4inks ran around the
table as each of the rural ones followed
her mistake.
Approaching the situation. the guest
hastily gulped down her coffee to hide
her mirth.
Later in the evening she heard one
woman remark to another:
Il don't care if it is swell, don't like
mint in my coffee"
"Oh, dear" replied the other, loftily,
sit is really delicious. never think of
taking my demitasse without it."

THE COUNTRY NEGRO.
Which Are Denied to His
City Brother.

The average city negro grows mp
in the shade. He is completely over
shadowed by his overtowering envi-
ronment. AS one walks along the
streets of our great cities and views
the massive buildings and sky-seek,
ing structures, he finds no status for
the negro above the cellar floor. The
city negro of education and culture is
forced into menial employment be-
cause higher forms of occupation are
preempted by the more favored
class. There are a dozen competitors
for every dollar in sight, and in the
great majority of cases, the negro is
