Cupey Tree.

they resemble lot of rope ladders
thrown over the tree. Next, the para
site sends down a great cord, which
tWines round the trunk of the sup
porting tree, at first as though in low

tighter, eventually strangling it's
benefactor out of existence. The
nurse" tree, thus killed, rots to de-
cay, and from the immense fibrous
roots of the destroyer now springs a
great trunk, which rises high into the
air. The cord-like roots rise often
to fifty or sixty feet in height.-Pear-

The Sparrow Hawk.

The sparrow hawk family lives both
in North and South America, but it is
subdivided in five sub-families or spe-
cies. 1t preys upon mice and snakes,
and also on small birds. 1t will perch
for hours on some tall tree, perfectly
motionless, waiting for prey. It al
ways builds its nest ina hollow tree,
and it's five or seven dark, cream col
ored eggs are nearly round. It is a
very useful bird, because it ribs farm
ers of grasshoppers and other small
insects that are harmful to trees and
crops.

The boy who was listening looked
rather disappointed. Still, he was
anxious to know what the other one
might have, anyhow, SO he asked,
What, them"
HE is what is called millionaire
of cheerfulness' He is merry and
bright the whole day long, not alone
when all is sweetness and light, but
when it isn't. He has such pluck and
spirit, and such unfailing good ma
ture, that he must have million to
draw upon, though he pays no taxes
upon his capital. You never see him
scowling or hear him whining. So
he scatters his fortune all about and
is a blessing to the neighborhood. I

wearing little grass spakes for brace
lets. She entices che reptiles to
Irvine themselves around her wrist.
then she plunges her hands and arms
into icy-cold water for a few mo-

pents become torpid and remain in a
more or less comatose state for some
hours. Thus she is able to preside
at afternoon tea with her arms COW

The seeds are borne on the wings of

burst into roots, which are dropped
towards the ground all around the
nurse tree. In time these roots
reach the ground and strike into the

Of INTEREST TO

Rossed Pulp Wood is Held to Be
Not on Dutiable
List.

New York, April 3.-Another pulp
decision &C interest TO paper manuf&ct-
urcrs has been handed down by the
board of United States general ap-
praisers. which declares that rossed
pulp wood is free of duty as paper
stock. This case has involved more
labor than any other that has come be
fore the board for long time on ac-
count of the bitter fight made by the
paper manufacturing companies which
have rosSing plants in the United
States TO keep out the Canadian rOssed
wood.
Rossed pulp wood is spruce or pop
lar cut into logs about two feet long,
and with the bark and roughness re-
moved by Il mechanical process called
rossing. This is done in Canada for
economy in transportation. and the
logs in this condition are ready to go
direct into the grinders.

Indianapolis. April >. - While the
