We think Of tree as a cooling agent
because its shade protects US from the
heat OF the sun, but ii cools the air In
another way that Is not generally
known; In fact, IL cools the air around
II as lump OF Ice cools vessel OF
water.
The tree has a body temperature OF
about 40 degrees, just as we have
body temperature OF 9s degrees,
which Is not affected by outside inhu-
elccs. II is the trees blood heat, 50
to speak. So that the air around II Is
cooled by the tree itself as we'll as by
the shade II makes.
When tree In full leaf Is struck by
strong wind we wonder that Ii Is not
torn all to pieces. And so II would be
but for the way the limbs and twigs
are arranged by nature. That arrange
ment is such that the effect OF the
wind is broken, for the limbs sway and
move in hundred directions instead
Of one, and the force Of the blast Is SO
scattered that 1t Is comparatively
harmless.
Ii the limbs all moved at once In the
same direction no tree could escape
being torn apart.

Smoking In Spain.
G. A. KNAPP.

in Spain people smoke necessarily
under all conditions, at all hours and
In all places, except In church. Men
smoke in the railway carriages; they
smoke I'm all the tram cars; they smoke
In all the minor theaters; they smoke
in all the restaurants. In the hotel din
ing rooms, and. of course. in the cafes.
In business offices the merchant and
his clerks smoke. In shops the shop
man, while trying TO sell goods to a
lady. will stop to roll a cigarette
which, when lighted. he will puff In
her face. You see conductors and
drivers Of tram ears smoking. All the
hackney cabmen smoke all the time,
while even coachmen and footmen Of
private carriages sometimes smoke on
the box. Beggars approach you, ciga-
rette in mouth, TO whine for aims. II
you ask for tickets at q railway Office.
the clerk lays down his cigarette as he
hands you the dingy bits of pasteboard.
The innumerable peddlers all smoke
cigarettes all the time.-J. A. Hart I'm

The oriental idea of the freedom
which American women enjoy does not
accord with that of Americans. One
Hindoo lady expressed herself as great
ly shocked that American men should
compel their women TO go about in
public unprotected, their faces exposed
TO the gaze of strangers, and a Hindoo
gentleman with whom we talked thus
expressed himself on the subject of
oriental treatment of women:
You say that we do not honor our
women. Why, let me tell you that all
HindoO boys, I'LL they are ready to
learn the ways of men, are taught by
their mothers. We are subject to our
mothers, and we know what you occi-
dentpls do not yet seem to realize-that
to have good men and good citizens
we must have good mothers. You will
hardly find IIindoo man, whatever
his caste, daring to go against the
counsel of his mother. Can you say as
much for American men"
Could as much, do our readers think,
be said for American men? There are
no asylums for helpless fathers and
mothers in the orient. So long as there
Is corner and crust to be shared the
parents in the oriental family have the
lions share.-Household.

A Dangerous Innovation.
Chambers Journal.

Deacon Carter could remember the
days when the minister lined out the
hymn and the congregation sang 1t.
Although he had long been too feeble
to go to church, his opinions still found
their way to the people.
I'VE shall have some good organ
playing this summer" an unwary Wis
itor remarked to the deacons daughter
In the old mans hearing. That
teacher from Boston is going to play
every Sunday while Annie Trumbull
Is off taking vacation"
The deacon raised his stick and his
quaverfhg voice at the same time.
You send for the minister to come
here and see me. Daughter Mary" he
said as clearly as he could. Il won't
have such goings on! A musician
playing on that organ! Let 'em go
without till Annie Trumbull gets home
again"

What Can We Dot

Whittier are we drifting? Some
time ago a wise fellow discovered
that it is unhealthy for two people TO
occupy the same bed, later another
found that it was unsafe to ride on a
car with other people, to attend
church where other people attend,
later an association of physicians de-
cided that to kiss was to tempt death
in all manner of hideous diseases.
The very latest is the discovery of a
French scientist that the practise of
handshaking is a prolific source of
spreading disease. If things keep up
it will soon be unhealthy to be buried
in the same graveyard with other
people. The only place where a per.
son can feel absolutely safe is at the
mid-week prayer meetings. Nobody
attends them.

The Canary's Claws.

II you have a canary or other cage
bird look to its claws from time to time,
for in a state of captivity the birds
nails grow so long that they need cut
ting. If this be neglected the bird Is in
danger of getting its nails caught in the
cage and hanging there till ii dies. Use
a sharp pair OF nail scissors and take
care not to cut more than just the
tips of the nails. If you hold the bird

Dumas, like Balzae, was fond OF his
own creations. Among them all he
loved Porthos best. The great, strong,
vain hero was child after his own
heart. One afternoon, II Is related, his
son found Dumas careworn. wretched,
overwhelmed. "What has happened to
you? Are you ill?" asked Dumas fls.
"No." replied Dumas pere. "Well.
what Is IL, them" II am miserable"
"WhyY This morning l killed Por-
thos-poor Porthos! Oh, what trouble
I have had to make up my mind to do
It! But there must be an end to all
things. Yet when l saw him sinking
beneath the ruins crying, 1T Is too
heavy, too heavy for mer swear to
you that l cried" And he wiped away
a tear with the sleeve of his dressing

The Aurora Zouaves cancelled en-
gagements covering nearly a years
time in order To return home. The
boys from Illinois spent about a year
in the cities of continental Europe
giving their exhibitions of marvellous
drilling and earned the title "Best
Drilled Soldier in the World" from
the nobility and royalty of these for
eign lands. Intending to remain
away from home but for q few weeks,
their success was so great that offers
of engagements came so fast that al
most before they knew it they were
consigning themselves to long exile
from their native land. AS many of
them had business interests at Aurora
that could be no longer neglected they
secured a cancellation some future
time. Once here the management of
the Adam Forepaugh and Sells Bro
theirs combined shows made them a
proposition for the present season
that they could not afford to refuse,
and they will be seen with these shows
when they exhibit, at Greenville Mon

THE FARMER IS INDEPENDENT

Financial crises have but little ter
ror for the farmer who owns a reasona
bly, good farm, and has comfortable
house to live in and comfortable barns
for his stock, his cribs, and stacks and
bins and cellars well filled and Is out
of debt. He has the best and most re-
liable policy of insurance against want
that human ingenuity can devise. If
banks fail, that does not affect his
crops. If merchants assign for the
benefit of their creditors, it does not
hurt him, for he has many crops, and
If by reason of drouths or floods any
of them fail, the others wall afford him
plenty. He has bread and meat and
butter and milk and every good thing
to eat, and as others must eat, who
produce no foods he is sure of enough
money to pay his taxes, and buy every
necessity Chat he does not grow. None
but farmers are thus situated. Texas
