HE WHO PLANTS A TREE.

The science of forestry is being slow ly but surely developed in America, but as yet is only attempted on a large scale, and by experts who make 1t their profession. Amateur gardeners and makers pay but little attention to its possibilities. They will put out speci- mems of the different varieties of trees pr plant conventional groups or borders for shade. etc, but rarely, if ever, go n for broader effects or devote any amount of acreage to their cultivation. Groves-that is to say, bits of wood land judiciOusly placed-add immensely to the views of an estate, and although he slow growth of trees is deterrent, still the years go by some way or an- other. and most people live to see trees which they have planted become good iy specimens.
 ''TO this day" said an older woman. speaking of the beauties of a grove of trees. 'I remember a beech wood bor- dering the road near my aunt's place. and yet I could not have been over 12 years old when I last saw it. But it seemed to appeal to my sense of the beautiful even then, for can see it distinctly now in my minds eye-a grove of about an acre or so of beech .reeS only-their smooth white boles shimmering through the leafage, and the wonderful foliage effect of layers ot pure sunlight and then of shadow, that only the flat branches of the beech can produce.
 Anyone who is the fortunate posses sor of 2 sufficient number of acres to devote a certain portion to trees would do well to plant several groves, each after it's kind, for tres think s0od eeaI of kinship. and thrive best with their own relations. Someone will en- joy the results even if the planter is no longer there, and the probabilities are that he himself will be able to de-
 light in them.'-New York Tribune.

THE TOO ATTRACTIVE TRAP.

There are maids and maids; some are intelligent, others are-well, maids E. NJ. Dey says. "A few days ago a friend of mine employed one of the others one O. the maids.
 The night before the arrival of the maid in question my friends wife dis covered some Unmistakable signs of mice in the kitchen. so she bought and set a trap for them. The next after noon-the girl had been in the house some hours then-she bethought her self of the trap and went to look for it. It wasn't where she had placed it; she couldn't find it, in fact, anywhere. so she asked the girl what had become of it. Oh, that dirty thing! I threw .t out was the astonishing answer, for I found it was attracting all the mice in the house to it.'"-St Louis be-DemOcrat.

AN EVERYDAY HEROINE.
The Young Woman Autonobilist Didn't
 Hesitate When the Test Came.

A Chicago young woman on Monday night was taking several friends home in her automobile from a supper after the theater. The hour was late and the street practically deserted, and the pavement smooth. Quite possibly these circumstances tempted the young wo- man to try a high rate of speed.
 Near Eighteenth street, a street cleaner suddenly appeared before the car. The pavement was wet there, and the brakes would not stop the machine in the distance. The young woman had but an instant to decide, and she decided Rather than run down and perhaps kill the stranger, she preferred the risk of injury to herself and her friends.
 She tried to turn aside, but there was not room, and the next moment the car was upset against the curb. For tunately, none of the occupantsg was seriously hurt. All said they were glad that the street cleaner was left to help them out of the wreck, rather than that they were left to pick up his body from the street
 There may be cynics who will say that the young woman decided wrong that she should have risked one life rather than several Not so. Those who have the greater power and the greater pleasure have also the duty to take the greater risk. The young wo- man decided right for herself and hel

 The gun, which was handed to him, happened to be a double barreled one. The major examined it and saw there was one barrel unexploded, so. turning the gun on the astonished Flanagin, he said:

 One day the crow got away from the major and rerched on a high hedge bordering the road. A young man named Flanagin, who had been out all day with his gun and had shot nothing happened to be passing. and seeing the crow. said to himself he might as well have a shot. He fired and killed the crow. The major was furious when he saw his pet dead. and, coming up to the delinquent. said quite calmly that it was a good shot.
