that knot above the spot where they
have joined shows that one top died
after the trunks grew together"
Both trunks are alive now" said
Richard, who had been testing them
with his pocket knife.
Then the teacher explained that orig
inally one tree branched, and the other,
leaning in that direction, rested in this
crotch, and a small branch above this
crotch held the trunk securely. That
is to say, one trunk grew between two
small branches of the other tree. AS
these branches increased in size they
held the bark of one trunk against the
other as firmly as if they were clamped
in vice, so that one tree grated
naturally into the other. In time the
top of one trunk and the small branches
died, leaving this odd and puzzling
growth.-St Nicholas

COLD INCREASES EXPENSES.
When Zero Is Recorded I'm New York
City the Outlay Is Swelled
by Millions.

Every time the mercury hangs about
zero for three or four days, the expenses
of New York are increased by millions of
dollars, states the Sun.
Public and domestic economy in this
latitude is adjusted for winter tempera-
ture Of somewhere between 20 and 35
degrees. If the ordinary expenditures
of the people of this city are estimated
at about S3,500,000 normally day, the
increased cost of living in extremely
cold weather is probably more than half
a million dollars day. In addition to
this, there is an enormous loss from the
incapacity of thousands to work at all or
to do their accustomed full days work.
! The increased cost of food alone is en-
ormous with fall of 20 or 25 degrees
below the ordinary winter temperature.
The most expensive foods are then con-
sumed in increased quantities, and hun
dreds of thousands increase their con-
sumption of alcoholic drinks under the
false impression that they thus keep
warm.
The consumption of fuel in zero wealth
er is increased somewhat between 20 and
40 per cent. To the ordinary household
er who heats his own house it may be in
creased so to Is per cent Lone houses
in the suburbs increase their fuel con-
sumption in very cold weather by nearly
100 per cent.
1t is impossible to estimate the wear
and tear of extra clothing in cold wealth
er, but with all the hundreds of thou
sands who cannot stay in doors at such
times the item aggregates large sum.
The increased cost of local transporta-
ton, whether the power be steam, cleo
tricity or just mere horses, is a very i'm
portant item. The fuel necessary to gen
crate increased power of one sort or an
other is one element of this cost. Horses
must be better fed with the most expen-
sive kind Of provender, andthe wear and
tear of rolling stock is greatly increased.
New York's bill of repairs for the two
recent cold snaps must be greatly be-
yond the normal. Plumbing repair bills
alone have probably exceeded those of
the three summer months.
The waste Of water alone is another
considerable item. Doctors bills are
trebled and quadrupled for thousands.
Even the item of domestic breakage is
considerably increased in cold weather,
and there is a large loss from damage to
perishable food.
If losses of income, of production and
from breakage and damage of various
kinds be considered along with increased
cost of living the seven or eight days of
extremely cold weather in January must
have cost New York almost as many mil
lions, and If the loss on sales caused
, by the lessened stream of buyers from
the country be considered the bill will
be enormously increased.

WHAT DOCTORS MAKE.
Practitioners Is STANDARDIZATION
Costly Item of Expense.

There are about 100000 doctors in
the United States, or about one for
every $50 people,, says Leslie's Month
ly. 1t has been approximately esti-
mated that the average yearly income
of these men is $3.50, or that the pub
lie in the country pays $150.000, 900
annually for medical attendance, omit
ting entirely the money spent for pat
emit medicines, which brings millions
of dollars to manufacturers, or the
amounts spent for doctors prescrip-
tions. or paid to quacks and CONNER
cial doctors. The preparation for the
practice of medicine that gives man
a good standing in the profession
means an expense of, literally speak
ing, $4,000 for four years in a reput-
able medical school, $1,000 for general
expenses during two years hospital
service, and perhaps another $1,000
fer setting up in practice. A year or
.wo in Europe is also help.

The Repainting of Lfner,,

The great Atlantic liners are. as a
rule. reprinted every trip. The sides
of the average first-class liner from
water-line to rail represent an area of
about an acre. The outworks of decks
and cabins amount to almost as much
more, while the outside surface of the
two great tunnels and n,asts totals
over half an acre. Thus there is an
area of about two and half acres to
be covered on the big liners at the
end of every voyage Tho painting Of
the tunnels is the most important and
difficult of the whole undertaking, and
the men carry on their work from
swinging seats.

TWO TREES.

Through lonely years an algaroba stood.
Her only company the wand'ring wind:
And dreamed that Heaven was fellow
ship of kind.
One happy day the solitary one
Awoke to find little PAIN tree near,
Whose waving leaves were shining in the
sum-
Whose stately grace that moment made 1t
Through months and years the twain
grew, unafraid,
And for the palm trees need the other
The shelter of her boughs. their fliny
shade
The storms they faced as comrades true
and brave,
And ever when the twilight winds did
They whispered each to other all they
knew
OF life and love, and waxed in beauty so.
The gardener came; their mingled leaves
Too well-beloved the young tree! and
straight,
Lest all unrnindful Of It's inner law
The palm be dwarfed, he moved It from
its mate.
Again the algaroba is alone.
The pangS of parting still are unforgot.
| But love sings song of joy in place OF
moan
For she can see, though far, his glorious
lott
o lonely one, dost sorely miss thy friend?
Royal his state-shalt see when life doth
end
| Too close thy love did cling about him. SO
| God took him, for his soul had need to

TWO TREES IN ONE.
Natural Graft Discovered by q Party
of Children I'm q Tramp
Through the Woods.

The children and their teacher were
off for tramp in the woods, where each
brown tree trunk showed plainly against
the background of snow. Suddenly
Richard. who had gone ahead, shouted
to the rest: 81 have found the queerest
tree with two trunks!" and the whole
party hurried to the spot. Beside the
path they found two small red oaks that
after several feet of growth had united
into one tree.
at looks like a tree on stilts," de-
clared Alice; "but how did it get two
trunks?"
Alfred, who had been studying it care
fully, said: There were two trees, and
