The fountain that supplied the

which it was necessary to cut down.
At the forestry station of st. Ferdi-

eucalyptus trees planted above have
penetrated the assures in the rock

ivy clings to walls. Owing to their
energetic absorptive power, these root

Extravauance of Treating.

Is it not fact that men really
spend in treating amounts that they
really would hesitate to give away, no
matter how deserving the charity? It
is a trait of human character that
comes through this all-absorbing dis
position to "hold your end up" when
with friend Hundreds of men take
thousands of drinks that they do not
want and other hundreds pay for
thousands that are not desired. Two
men meet and one says: mighty
glad to see you. Let's. have some
thing Neither generally needs or
even wants a drink. But the man who
offers it wants to- show that he is gen.
erous. He takes this method of prov
inc. that he is glad to meet his friend.
The friend, after he has taken the
drink that he did not want, to prove
that he toe is a good fellow, insists
upon a second round. The German
custom of. entering a saloon, taxing
a drink and paying for it, end for no
others, if adopted in America would
prove a blessing. The American GUS
tom Of treating is decidedly a curse.
What we do for friendships sake costs
us many dollar and many a pang.-

Ministers No Longer Guide Their
FIocks in Secular Affairs.
If scholarly men more and more re-
ject the church as the means by which
they will influence opinion and con-
duct, and replace it by educational,
editorial and administrative agencies,
the next century may be altogether
guided in it's intellectual decisions
and in those of it's actions which de-
pend on intellectual judgments by
forces outside the church. Our grand
fathers looked to the minister for ad-
vice, not only upon religious beliefs
and moral practice, but also upon most
matters outside their own direct &C
uuaintance The minister prescribed
for the education of sons, solved social
problems, and acted as the source and
Judge of truth in matters of general
knowledge. Our sons seem likely to
regard the ministry as body OF men
fitted to deal with mems religious well
fare, but less fitted to be general men.

PIGS FEET FOR sLEEPLEsSNEss
Here Is Pointer That May Be Worth
Something.

SOmethln9.
"The story sent out from Washington
that the Siamese Minister had not been
able to sleep for a month, not even Tor
a few minutes, may seem Incredible
to persons accustomed to their eight
hours every night" said New York
specialist in neurasthenia, "but in the
profession we are constantly coming
across such instances. Most persons
would suppose that a man or woman
going with out sleep for month would
succumb to sheer exhaustion. Nothing
of the kind. Many patients refuse to
take narcotics, no matter how long
they go without sleep, and when they
do feel that way the doctor seldom in
sists. 1 had a patient this winter
who never slept wink for forty-two
days. He was suffering from COM
mon form of insomnia. I got his di-
gestion all right inside of month by
regulating his diet and giving him
hearty meal of pigs feet about three
hours before bedtime. It was as
successful as it has been in, other
cases. No, don't say that there is any
virtue in pigs feet as a sedative, but
in the digestive process they induce
restful slumber quite different from
the stupor sleep induced by heavy
feeding"

Gems of Thought In His Closing Ad-
dress to Jury.
Chief Justice Sir John Madden of
Australia is noted for his mellif1uous
style of addressing juries. Recently
he presided over a curious breach of
promise case in Melbourne and here
are few of his summing up remarks:
Women like to be approached by a
process of steady, solid, honorable
siege. A mere beating of tom-toms and
letting off explosive fireworks does
not affect them very much" "Adven-
turesses are women who trade upon
the amorous or cerebral softness of
men. young or old, and try to induce
them to part with their money" 1T
has been suggested that volcanic
Young Irishman (the defendant) should
be permitted greater range OF ex-
preston than any. one else, and l see
no objection to that proposition" And
this was Sir Johns final hint to the
jury in the matter of awarding dam
ages: "A true lover, no doubt, would
pay no regard to the fact that the lady
had been the plaintiff in an action for
breach of promise, but many suitors
might be discouraged by it." The jury
took the hint and ordered the vol
canic Irishman', to pay 81, 500. The
lady had asked for $4,000.

empty rooms he named the uses to
which the four rooms had been put dur

in the cabin. The room to the right,
he said, had been the family dining
room; that to the left, the parlor. On
the second floor, the room above the
parlor was the apartment Of his par

was the room used by himself and his

than he can perform. A blind person
always knows his limitations; he
either retires from active participa-

But there is no defense against deaf

"I knew one man who lost his
whole fortune simply because he was
deaf. He ran a haberdashers shop
on Broadway, and as he had been in
the business for good many years
he was quite prosperous. An acct

prove a complete bar to his work. He
began to lose money. He lost nearly
all his old customers and had to de-

Simply because he could not hear

of the road and his companion to the

black simoom. The man on his back
was in very real danger, but as ne
bolted past them he actually bowed

ance, and called out:
