The Roots of Trees.

The roots of a tree do not cover the
same area beneath the earth as they do
above. A gardener of many years ex-
perience, having had vast deal to do
in digging and Tansplanting trees,
says he has found that the roots of
trees cover on an average about two
thirds of the area of its branches. The
tree which has the largest area under
ground is the weeping willow. This
trees roots spread TO such an extent
that should there be any trees or shrubs
planted within thirty feet of them in
few years the roots of the willow will
be found intermingled with them. Fruit
trees, such as apples, pears and plums,
have very small roots in comparison
with their size. The roots OF currant
bushes do not occupy more than Il quar-
ter the space their branches cover.

An Appropriate QUOTATION.

Dr. Temples hatred of verbosity was
intense. On one occasion his chaplain
was surprised to receive a telegram
from the archbishop consisting of only
the words, Third John, 13 and A."
Mystified, the chaplain turned up his
Bible and read: Il had many things to
write, but l will not with ink and pen
write unto thee. But l trust l shall
shortly see thee and we shall speak face
to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends
salute thee. Greet thy friends by
name"

A Little Bit Of Advertising.

In his volume on "Eccentricities of
Genius" Major Pond says that one
evening when Henry Ward Beecher
was about half through with bis lee
ture the attention of the audience was
attracted to the front of the house as
Emma Abbott, the singer, walked
down the aisle in her Juliet makeup
and wig, the train fairly sweeping the
Risles. Upon reaching the orchestra
rail she turned and walked in front of
the audience to the box which was on
the left of the stage and which she
might easily have reached by the side
aisle without observation.
After the great wave of interruption
had spent itself Mr.. Beecher continued
his lecture to the end, when Miss Alb
bOtt leaped from the box and rushed to
Mr.. Beecher, in whose church in
Brooklyn she had formerly sung, ex-
claiming: "Dear Mr.. Beecher, how do
you do? You must excuse my Juliet
makeup and dress and wig. felt that
l must see you, and l rushed from the
opera over here without changing my
dress, fearing / should miss you"
AS a matter of fact, she had not seen
the theater since o'clock and availed
herself of this opportunity to secure a
little free advertising.

BRANDS OF CHEESE.

GOrgOnzOIa u IA Cheese to Swear by,
LimburEer to Swear At.
Each country has its favOrite cheese
The Swiss make the Gruyere cheese,
known more generally in this country
as SchweitZerkase 1t is made of goats
milk and is full of holes caused by the
gases il fermentation. The cheese is
initiated, but never equaled, here. The
typical English cheese is the Chcddar
first made in the English town after
which it is named. 1t is very like
American cream cheese CLeSire is an
other favOrite English cheese while the
fashionable cheese of the day is StiltOn,
cheese which dcfies imitation. Sage
cheese, first made in England. is now
made the world over. Its distinguish
ing characteristic is the tlavoring and
colOring of sage, parsley, spinach and
marigOld leaves bruised and Steeped.
Brie is a popular French soft cheese,
and Camembert, originating in Nor
mandy, is another These cheeses are
cured in caves where the temperature
never rises above u to IA degrees.
They are ready for marketing in May
and November. ROquefOrt, a celebrated
French cheese is made from the min
gled milk of goats and sheep that
browse OH the thyme clad banks of the
ArnO. in western France. These cheeses
are also ripened in caves but the tenn
perature is kept at 40 degrees.
Akin to the Roquefort cheese is that
called GOrgOnZOla, made in Italy after
similar processes. 1t is milder than
ROquefOrt and not quite so good. but it
is sold much cheaper. Another Italian
cheese, the Parmesan, is very hard, and
is usually grated. 1t is oftenest used
with macarOni. Another curious Italian
cheese is the CacciOcavellO or horse
cheese. which is delicious. and i'm
proves with age. 1t is cured in the skins
used in making sausages and comes in
curious sausagelike shapes.
Limburger cheese, so beloved by the
Germans. originated in Belgium 1t is
extraordinarily rich, being allowed to
ripen to putrefaction; hence its hOrrify-
ing Odor in unaccustomed nostris
Some persons have a saying, "GorgOn-
ZOla is a cheese to swear by, Limbur-
ger to swear at" From Holland come
the Edam and the pineapple, both made
in cleanly manner and very popular
1t is written in history that the Dutch
used their round, cannon ball like
Edam chesses to shoot out Of their can

"Tll run away!"
FVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVl

"I'll run awayw
This was Hetty Warmers reply TO
her mother when told that she could no
longer keep company with Sam Beech
er. Hetty was nineteen and an only
child, and the Warmers were well to do
farmers living just outside the town of
Lincolnville. Sam Beecher was a rath-
er fast young man living in town. and
his calls at the farmhouse had not
been received with favor by the old
folks.
Don't be foolish. Hetty," said her
mother. I'VE don't want to see you
throw yourself away on worthless
young man.
"WhO says he's worthless?" demand
ed the daughter, with flashing eyes.
why, everybody knows he drinks
and swears and gets into scrapes."
He's simply young man of spirit,
and l admire him for it,
For the lands sake! Well. it seems
that father didn't put his foot down
minute too soon. Now, you'd better
finish hemming that tableclOth and
wait for a better man to come along"
Hctty had no more to say. She felt
Inundated and defiant, and she was
determined to do something. She want
ed to make her father and mother feel
bad-wOrse than she felt herself. There
was one thing left-to run away. The
more she thought of the plan the bet
ter she liked it. She would steal away
at night. She would leave behind her
letter saying that her heart was bro
ken. She would 80 far, far away
among strangers and probably die
within few weeks and be buried un-
der a willow tree Her father would
search in vain and be sorry for his
cruelty, and her mother would pine
away and become a living skeleton.
Hetty allowed a week to glide past
to lull suspicion and to see if Sam
Beecher would bid defiance to her fa-
theirs edict, and then she was ready.
Sam did not show up. He was having
a lawsuit just then over horse trade,
and he had no time to scheme and
plan.
At 10 O'Clock one summers night
Hetty stole from the house to return
never again. She left a heartbroken
letter on the kitchen table, and there
were tears in her eyes as she bade the
cat and dog and cherry trees and flow
er beds goodby. Her plan was to walk
through the village and keep OH until
she had put hundreds of miles between

The sinister Chameleon.

A chameleon which had been a long
while in Il cage had become so entirely
the color Of the wood that it was not
easy to distinguish it. placed it among
plants and on the grass, but it did not
turn green again, and then ! left it on
a vase of flowers, in the center of which
l placed a tall stiff spray. Soon the
creature found its way to the very sum-
NIT, and there it remained, "as still as
DEATH" until fly happened that way.
Then there was very slight movement,
a click was heard and the chameleon
resumed its silent observation as if no
fly had been swallowed.
There is something cunning and
weird, almost sinister, in the expression
of that very small eye in the center or
apex of its mobile globe, now turned
upward, now downward, so quietly yet
so watchfully, rarely the two eyes look
ing the same way. The chameleon must
surely be endowed with duality Of
brain, for it certainly must take in two
ideas at once through its two eyes, or
why should it move both so ceaselessly
in contrary directions? MOtionless is
the animal hour after hour the eye be-
ing the only sign of life it displays.
The one at the top of a spray in the
vase of flowers remained in the same
position day after day, only throwing
out its tongue to catch fly when one
few by, and otherwise moving only it's
ever restless eyes.-EXchange

Criticism Tint Hurts md rrets.

To bring about sane friendship be-
tween people who love each other. re-
spect for each others individuality is
of course necessary. We can vow that
unless duty seriously and lovingly de-
mands it there should be no unasked
criticism between people who love each
other Think how it would make for
peace if domestic criticism were for
hidden at every breakfast table! Think
of our own happiness if our brothers
and sisters will stop telling us unpleas-
ant truths Think of their happiness

her grieving heart and the dear old
home. She had 20 cents in cash and
grim determination to die a martyr to
parental injustice
She got along bravely until she had
passed through the village and was
half mile beyond. Then a thunder
storm came up and drove her to seek
shelter in a farmers barn, but before
she got under cover she was thoroughly
drenched and had torn the skirt of her
dress half off in getting over a rail
fence. She found a door of the barn
open and crept inside with chattering
teeth and was wondering If Sam
Beecher wouldn't shed tears of grief if
he knew her situation when the OdOr of
tobacco smoke came to her nostrils.
Before she could make q move, how
ever, man with a pipe in his mouth
stood between her and the door, and
gruff voice said:
''Well, old dusty, l bids ye come in
out Of the wet and make yerself at
home. Got any cold vittles with YEP
'WhO-who is it?" screamed the girl
as she started back.

Il want to go!" exclaimed Hettv
who'd have given all the Sam Beechers
on earth to be safe at home i'm her bed
just then.

the tramp. IT'S what the perlfce calls

II we've got any sOrrers pour 'em in,J
my listenin' ears"
Chattering with the cold and trem-
ping with fear and having only the
idea OF appealing to the tramp's SYM
pathy, Hetty stated her case. 1t wasn't
much of case, as she had to adrsjt to
herself when she had stated it, and the
reply OF the man was prompt and to
the point.
Say, gal" he observed as she IN
lshed, we are a silly kid Yer dad
and marin was dead right, and We
ought ter be locked up. Whar was We
runnin' away to-"
II don't know"

Course ye don't. 1t is jest a gals
whim, and mighty silly one. Gals

know it. The old folks has got to keep
an eye on 'em till they is married off. A
Kid OF a gal is as apt to marry a rascal
as an honest feller, and l don't reckon
your beau Sam is anything to brag of.
The storm is passin' over, and when it
stops rainin We are gOin' back home"
'But l can't" sobbed Hetty.
"But ye must. Yes, marin. I'm go
in right along with We. Mebbe ye kin
get into the house and up to yer room
without anybody bein' the wiser. At
any rate, we've got to try it,"
Miss Hetty wept and objected, though
all the time hoping the tramp would
carry out his programme. When the
rain had ceased and the stars shone out
again, he said:
Now, gal, Wen jog along. Purity
wet and muddy, but yen remember it
the longer"
Very little was said as they splashed
through the mud left by the shower
and brushed against the wet weeds Of
the highway. The tramp smoked and
Hetty shivered, and she was ready to
sink down from exhaustion and emo
ton as the pair finally arrived at the
farmhouse gate. 1t was nearly o'clock
in the morning, and all within the
house was quiet.
