R AM Was Of VaIue

When the late Prof. Sommerville
OF the University of Pennsylvania,
the learned collector of gems, charms
and mascots, had set his mind on
some curio heard of in one Of his
meetings with orientals, nothing
could bar the way, says the Booklov-
er's Magazine. Were it in the center
OF the desert of Sahara or on the
topmost pinnacle of the Hamalayan
mountains, he would go after it and
keep up the search until the treasure
was found, purchased and placed on
exhibition at the university museum.
American gold was Prof. Sommer-
ville's magnet, wherever he went. He
then describes it's effects on one of
his expeditions.
ION one occasion we desired to
visit the famous Dilwarra temples in
India, and for that purpose engaged
two jinrikshas and a number of ma
tives to draw them, about twelve in
all. The temples, as you know, are
set in a magnificent grove of mango
trees on a mountain top and surround

The Riuht Place to Beuin.

When the political history of Mary
land is written there will be a para.
graph or two for the McComas-Mudd
feud. 1t is now in progress, bitter
and unrelenting. McComas was a
United States senator until March 4
last, and Mudd is a Representative
in Congress. Both are Republicans.
In the old days, though, they were
bosom friends. McComas was the
leader and Mudd a follower. One
day they were dining together.

is your boy?"

Pine Stumps Yield Oils

A new proof of the fact that what
is wasted one time becomes a valu-
able material under other circum-
stances, is given. in the success of pine
tar plants hat have been started up
near the head of Lake Superior. That
the industry is no experiment and of
no doubtful value is shown by the fact
that the W~eyerhaeuser syndicate, the
largest numbering concern in the
world, has taken it up, has just bought
out the plants already established and
is installing more.
All the region about the head of
Lake Superior is. or was, covered with
pine timber, and when this was cut
the stumps remained IN the ground.
Pine stumps do not rot as do those
OF h%ardwOo6s and the presence of
these stumps was a serious obstacle
to the spread of farming in the region.

Women and the LOOKING Glass.

How much time does a woman spend
before her looking glass? A German
estimates that a girl OF six to ten
spends an average of seven minutes a
day before a mirror, from ten to ff-

twenty to twenty-five occupy twenty

People talk Of the wonderful
growth of the tropical Jungle" said a
traveller last week, but they rarely
think Of the wonderful vitality and
swift growth of our own domestic
trees in this country.
There is the poplar, for instance.
Rip branches from a tree, thrust them
into the ground without any care
whatever, and inside of three months
every n OF those branches will have
sent out a mass of roots and be de-
veloping fast into a tree.
Il have just passed through a
thicket of pOplars in New York state
where trees of about fifteen feet in
height stood SO close together that
a man could barely push his way be-
tween them. They were all flourish
ing, healthy young trees, with thick
trunks.
TO my surprise, / learned from my
guide that this whole little grove had
sprung up from branches stuck into
the ground after a windstorm had
torn them from other trees along the
road.
