Parisjan Trees.

Paris is said to lead the world
in the culture of city trees. The
success of the French capital is due
not so much to an admirable soil
climate as to a well-organized system
of caring for the trees.
In large nurseries young trees are
grown and prepared for the Partisan
streets. The culture of the soil is
elaborate. From the very beginning
the trees are pruned and staked to
compel a straight growth. By fire.

come so hardened that they are ena-
bled to withstand injury due to trans
portation. When a tree is sufficient
ly large, it is set out in the sire !
with the same care that was Lavish q
upon it in the nursery. Often the
cost of planting a single tree is $50.
Whenever a storm destroys the city
trees the nursery can be Immediately

MARRIAGE AND LONG LIFE.
People Joined in Matrimony Live
Longer Than Those Single.


Scientific research justifes the rule,
Marry and live to ripe old age" AT
tables Frederick l.. Hoffman, writer
upon insurance subjects, demonstrates
the influence of marriage on longevity.
Interesting figures show that the NOR
tality Of married males has been con-
siderably below the mortality of sin
gle males at all ages, the difference
being most noticeable between the
age periods of forty-fve and sixty
four years. Between those ages,
roughly speaking. three single men die
to two married ones. The rate of fe-
males gives a result favorable to mar
ried women. Although their death
rate is greater than that of single
women in the period between fifteen
and forty-four years, after that period
the proportions are reversed in favor
of married women.
In both sexes below the age of forty
the deaths among married persons,
due to certain specific causes. are
slightly in excess of deaths among
single persons. The causes are can
Ger, tumor, nervous diseases, circula-
tory, digestive and urinary diseases.
But deaths from consumption among
single persons are preponderatingly
greater than those among the married.
Above the age of forty-fiye the NOR
tality of the married in both sexes,
from all causes, is much less than that
of single people. Mr.. Hoffman unhes-
itatngly concludes that marriage
makes for long life. Undoubtedly
many factors other than the fact Of
marriage contribute to decide the ques-
tion of longevity. The questions OF
regular living and settled habit must
be considered as well as that of the
human being fulfilling his natural des-
tiny and following natural laws.-St

The Sleepy Hour of Night.

A head-on collision between two
freight trains on the Southern Pacific
in California was due to the careless
ness of the engineer OF one OF the
trains. who slept at his post and paid
the forfeit with his life. Manager AL
ger of the Southern Pacific says that
the company has great trouble on ac.
count of men succumbing to sleep be-
tween 3 and 4 in the morning. This
was the time at which the accident
occurred. 1t is the sleepy hour that

RELATIVES IN KANSAS.
Carroll, Last Surviving signer Of
Declaration of Independence.

In connection with the resolution IN
trOduced in the United States senate
recently in connection with special ex-
ercises of the acceptance from the state
Of Maryland of the statue of Charles
Carroll of CarrOllton to be erected in
statuary hal in the capitol in Washing
ton, it is interesting to note that there
are numerous descendants of Carroll IN
Marshall county, Kansas.
Carroll was the last surviving signer
Of the Declaration of independence He
was one of the wealthiest citizens Of the
American colony and leading spirit
and participant in the revolution He
died in 1882 and at the age of 50, and IN
his ninetieth year on July 4, 1923 he laid
what was called the corner stone of the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
Winifred Carroll, a cousin of Charles
Carroll married David Barrett, who
afterwards moved to Harrison county,
Ohio. and became the parents Of eleven
children4 seven of whom six boys and
one girl, became Kansas pioneers and
were among the first people who came
to Marshall county.
A. G. Barrett located here in 1854.
bringing with him his sister Winifred
and her husband Isaac Walker and
made permanent settlement in 1886.
They brought with them the first grist
mill and saw mill that were in the
country and Barretts mill became
widely known and patronized. The
other brothers followed and locating
here all raised large families.
The Barretts and Walker were ardent
abolitionists and their real purpose in
coming here was to help make Kansas
a free state The first election held In
Marshall county was at Barrett's mill,
at which place the pro-slavery men
stole the ballot box.
They did heroic service in building up
the Republican party at time when
patriotism and courage were required.
Two of the elder Barretts are still liv-
ing, John K and Joseph. Of the young
er generation, mum bering about two
hundred, about half of them removed
to Oklahoma. The remainder are inter
married with the MOffatts and Shearers
and to Montgomery, Mckee. Van Vliet.
Lucas, Love, Knox and Holtham, all
of whom are prominent families Of this
locality
