The great thing In oil education Is
10 make our nervous system our ally
instead OF our enemy. II is to fund
and capitalize our acquisitions and i've
at ease upon the interest OF the fpnd.
Far this we must make automatic and
habitual as early as possible as many
useful actions as we can and guard
AGAINST the growing into ways tnat
are likely to be observation-disclosures TO
us as we should guard against tne
plaRue. The more Of the details OF
our daily life we can hand over to the
effortless custody Of automatonism
the more Of our higher powers OF mind
will be set free for their own proper
work. There is no more miserable hu-
man being than one In whom nothing
ia habitual but indecision and Tor
whom the drinking of every cup, the
time OF rising and going to bed every
day and the beginning of every DIT Oh
work are subjects Of express yoiidonal
deliberation. Full half the time OF
such a man goes to the deciding or re-
GREETING of matters which ought to DC
so ingrained In him as practically not
TO exist for his consciousness at all.

Tho Eucalyptus Tree.

The great value Of the eucalyptus
tree lies In its remarkably quick growth
from the seed to the full sized tree.
Travellers In Australia have brought
back accounts Of enormous native spec
linens. There was record OF one
PROSTATE ancient forest giant OF the
blue gum variety measuring, with al
lowances for the lost top, $50 feet. sucn
a giant would have overtopped the tall
est Of California's living sequoias'
There are more than $50 kinds of eslca-
lyptus which resemble each other
though differing widely In size, height,
general outline and In appearance OF
leaf and bark. This tree is planted Tor
forest cover for naked hillsides as wind
breaks and hedges. The timber is val
liable, the wood and leaves make excel
lent fuel. and from the latter is made
drug extensively employed in medicine
and surgery. The blossoms supply
honey supposed to possess specially ny

Origin of the Cat.

In Arabian legends the cat IS traced
back as far as Noah and the ARK. 1t
is one of the enimals that came of the
ark, but did rot go on. When the 9th
er creatures entered for safety during
the time when "the doors of heaven
were to be opened and the fountains
of the deep turned loose" there was no
cat among them. Puss' origin Is ac-
counted for In this way:
During the time the ark was floating
about over the tall mountains mice ana
rats became an intolerable nuisance to
the people on the great vessel. and tney
complained TO Noah that everything
was being literally devoured by the
pesky vermin. That august parsonage
forthwith called the male lion to his
side and began to stroke his back,
whereupon the great beast sneezed
and, 10, full sized cat was blown
from his nostrils!
