farm wagon is as Anticipated as the pillow.
Many of the smaller farm implements
are of the clumsy patterns in use a cen
tury ago. The carpenter uses neither
Ratchet nor handsaw, and his other
tools are not nearly so complete as those
of an American carpenter. Furniture
is largely handmade, G3dis correspond
ingly expensive. Although the high
ways here are nearly perfect, the light
American buggy and phaeton are IN
known. Though much is made of all

small pleasure launches are rarely seen.

OAKS FROM AcoRNs GROW.
Mount Vernon Oak In Cars Garden
Supplied White House Tree.

WASHINGTON, April GA historic
oak sapling will be planted in the
White House grounds tomorrow. Sec
rotary Hitchcock has supplied the tree
and in connection with it told the
president u pretty story. Many years
ago Charles Sumner sent to the car
of Russia some acorns from a stately
oak which overhangs the tomb of
Washington at Mount Vernon. The
car caused the acorns to be planted
in the grounds Of the Peterhof pal
ace in st. Petersburg. One of the
acorns grew into a magnificent oak,
which yet stands in the palace
grounds.
While in st. Petersburg in 1898 as
the United States ambassador to Rus
sia, Mr.. Hitchcock collected a hand
full of acorns from the historic Off
spring of the Mount Vernon oak, sent
them to this country and had them
