To Encourage Tree Planting

There are many historic trees in
the country, and it is believed by the
department Of agriculture that interest t
in tree planting can be stimulated by
distributing limited number Of these
trees under proper direction. The
seedlings. when grown, will be sent to
schools in various parts of the coun-
try. and there will accompany each
tree II concise statement setting forth
the historic events connected with the
tree itself, and the growing of the
seeding.

GREAT BACHELORS.
Kingdom Are Unmarried at

This is the age Of bachelors in Eng
land. The women are discussing with
Keen interest the fact that four of their
great men are unmarried Arthur Bal
.our is a bachelor, and indeed the first
bachelor TO become premier since the
time of William Pitt
Lord Kitchener. EngIand's most not
able soldier, and Lord Miner, her most
prominent administrator, are both un-
married.
Completing the notable four is the
bishop of London, who is not far from
being the most prominent man in the
church.
The men on the other side, says the
Philadelphia North American, are de-
claring that France has long been
cursed with petticOat influence in poll
tics, and England has had some ex-
perience of the plague of women be-
hind the scenes at the war office"

VENEZUELA IS DECAYING.
German Traveller states That Mixed
Negroes and Indians Are Get
tInE an Upper Hand.

DR.. PaSSarge. the noted traveller,
who has just returned from Vene-
zuela. says, according to Berlin re-
port:
president Castro is a full-blooded
Indian and an energetic man without
political wisdom. He rose suddenly
from magistrate of a remote village
at the foot of the Andes TO the presi-
dency, and his rapid rise made him
OvercOnfdent.
''Ihe present situation is due 20
two facts: Germany suddenly sug-
pended the pressure of the early part
of the war, which diminished the re-
spect in which she was held by Presi-
dent Castro; secondly, the attitude
of the officials of the great Venezue-
Ian railroad toward President Cas-
tro. Germany's first principle must
be not to meddle in the internal af-
fairs of Venezuela. But the railroad
officials forgot this"
DR.. Passarge describes the state as
drifting to certain decay and as fol-
lowing a steadily downward course
since Gen. Blanco's presidency. The
color question plays an important
role IN political tendencies. The
mixed negroes and Indians, etc, are
getting an upper hand in society and
politics.

PERILS OF THE TRAPPERS.
erE Went TO Their Deaths on
the Platte River.

In the United States the free hunt
ers approach the mountains by three
main routes. II was coming down the
Platte that poor Scott's canoe was
overturned, his powder lost and his
rife rendered useless. relates Outing.
Game had retreated 10 the mountains
with springs advance. Berries were
not ripe by the time traPpers were
descending with their winters hunt.
Scott and his famishing men could
not find edible roots Each day Scott
weakened. There was no food. Final
ly Scott had strength to go no further.
His men had found tracks OF some
other hunting party far to the fore.
They thought that in any case he
could not live. What ought they to
do? Hang back and starve with him,
or hasten forward while they had
strength TO the party whose tracks
they had espied. On pretense of seek
ing roots, they deserted the helpless
man. The next spring when these
same hunters went up the Platte they
miles from the place where they had
left him. The terror that spurred the
emaciated man to drag himself all this
weary distance can barely be con-
ceiVed; but such were the fearful odds
taken by every free trapper who went
up the Platte, across the parched
plains or to the headwaters of the
Missouri.

WHERE DWARFS ARE MADE.
tOrted for The Purpose or Put
tIng g'Aem Out TO Beg.

Some interest has OF late been
aroused in Madras by the exhibition
of two dwarfS who are alleged TO be
over 30 years Of age, and are brother
and sister. These beings are not cnlv
small but distorted. IT is believed
that dwarfs are manufactured in
Indian. There is d practice extant in
the Punjab of elongating infants
heads SO as 10 render them out of all
proportion 10 the body. The effect of
compression on the brain renders the
victims idiotic. says the London Ex-
press.
They are sent around to beg. and in
their peregrinations visit the Madras
and Bombay presideacies. An instinct
akin 20 that of an animal however.
still lives in the distorted beings. and
invariably brings them back 10 their
masters. They are known as shah
Shuia's mice" from the name of the
temple where they are manufactured.
The children. it is stated, are vowed to
the temple by fanaticaI women.

RED, BLACK OR BLONDE.
Imagination, Hat RCd-Headed
Gel the Good MARKS.

Some curious statistics relating to
hair have been collected by the school
authorities at Lille 1t is found that
authenticated boys are generally at
the head of the recitation classes, and
blonde girls come out highest as arith-.
meticians. But in composition they
are nowhere. says the London Ex-
press.
The dark-haired children Of both
sexes have the quality Of Imagination.
and in their compositions know how
not to fatigue the attention. and as
compared to the auburn and blondes
are born stylists.
| dare say the auburn boys and
blond lasses in the Lille elementary
schools are Of Flemish-that is 10 say,
phlegmatic-race. Their brains do
not grow at once congested when they
stand up to recite. and for that reason
they keep the mastery Ct the vocal or
gans. In short. they continue to know
what they are about. The dark chill
dren are probably of Celtic-that is to
say Halllc-oFtgln. Inc DlOOQ comes
with a rush to their brains, and they
grow confused, splutter and break
down. If they could only be -aught to
remain silent for a few moments they
would be all the better for this rush,
as the confusion would have passed
away, leaving only stimulated mental
organs.
Finally, on the subject of hair, says
writer in Truth. l am sorry to say
that the red-headed boys and girls In
the Lille schools are at the bottom in
everything, save in good conduct.
marks. Nor are they remarkable for
good health. The dark boys behave
better than the auburn or the fair, and
are more sensitive to praise or blame.

COMMERCIAL PROFESSIONS.
Thstr Businezs Into InEtltutIOnE
OF Usefulness.

The truth is, We hear too much
about the commercialism of the pro-
fessiOns. There are men who vulgar
lie them all, no doubt, and who sell
their craft-right for a mess of mil
lions, for there have always been such
men, says Worlds Work. But there
IS another tendency of our time that
Is far stronger than the tendency
10 get wealth; it is the ten
dency TO establish. TO build, and
TO maintain iustitutions-institu
tiOns of any useful and honorable
kind. Men give themselves in the
most unselfish way to build up colleges
and universities, hospitals. museums,
clubs, associations for the advance
ment Of trades and professions, libra
ries-there is no end of the list Men
labor TO turn their business into insi-
tutions. Many founders of great com
mercial houses work for their honor
able perpetuity.
Many manufacturers plan their fac
tories so as 10 give them an institu-
tional character and valae. The
naturally conservative tendency of an
active people is toward institution
building. Strong men in almost every
department Of work show such ten
dency, often as a dominant trait of
character, and this is a stronger mo-
tive than the mere wish to be rich.
The rich man who stands alone, who
has not established something, who
is not identified with some great in
stitution. commercial or public, is not
envied. He is more likely to be pitied.

CAMEL A CURIOSITY.
AatiOn Among the People OF
Cairo, Egypt.

One would hardly expect 10 hear Of
camel being an object of public at
traction in Egypt, That such is the
case, however, is youched for by the
Egyptian Gazette. The ship of the
desert" or the One-humped drome-
daTy, is very common in the streets Of
Cairo and other parts of the Nile
country, but when the geological gar
den at Ghizeh secured a specimen of
the twO-humped Bactrian camel there
was indeed a sensation.
The dOuble-decked ship of the des-
ert was the most interesting animal
in the menagerie 10 the native Egyp-
tian who had been familiar all his life
with the one-humped variety.
Strange as it may seem, this particu-
lar specimen was bred and secured
from the Rotterdam geological gar
dens, where the well-known Swiss nat
uralist, DR.. Buettikofer, is rearing the
species with success.
What the dromedary is to Sahara's
parched sands, says the PhiladelphiA
Record, the Bactrian camel is tc the
dreary stretches of Asia AS the
drOmedary may be hkened 10 the swift
and safe passenger ship, so may the
patient Bactrian beast be referrerd to
as the slower but all the more impor-
tant deeply laden merchantmen, for
centuries on centuries, generation
after generation. these patient crea-
lures have been transporting the
wealth of China, farther India and the
orient generally TO Russia and thence
throughout the Occident
