Trees in q Wind.

The big wind that passed over the twin
cities recently taught much about what
trees to plant for permanent shade and
other effects One might easily have ex-
pected the softer varieties of wood to
break first, but would hardly be pre-
pared to see the ease with which box ell
ders and soft naples are uproOted. When
if is let alone the former likes to branch
near the ground, and it can be seen on
the prairie more like gigantic bush
than like a tree. This habit of growth
would not call for any great spread of
roots except in capturing nourishment,
an operation in which the tree Is sup
posed to excel. We have known Il tree
Of the kind to send its roots to almost
any length in the seams of 4 quarry, yet
in well-sOdded and watered lawns it is
the first to give way at the root. 1t
should be less missed than any other
sort Among the indigenous trees the
elms hold an intermediate position, fur
nishing not so much more resistance to
the winds than the sorts mentioned. This
is a pity, they being such universal ia
vorites for shade trees Coniferous trees
and the larches seem to hold UP well
against winds, as do the ashes and white
walnuts, although SO few of the latter
are used for shade that one cannot speak
with confidence of their performance.
Coming to trees of slower growth and
harder wood the hard naples in the
track of the storm seemed to suffer much
more than their numbers would warrant,
but the oaks preserved their reputation
for sturdiness while the humble hack
berry held its own as we'll as any.
BY the way, oaks Of some varieties are
by no means so slow of growth as i'm
agined by some, nor are they so averse
to the ways of civilization as has been
ght.-Western Architect.

Cremation in England.

The experience of the doctor in shoot
ing two deer and moose without NOV
ing from his tracks IS considered rather
remarka BILE, as were the incidents heading
up to the wholesale slaughter.
The doctor was hunting through the
woods alone when, off q considerable dis
lance to the right, he heard a most ter
rife and unusual racket. The sound Of
breaking brush and saplingS was com
bined with animal cries Of rage and pain.
Tt sounded not unlike two bulls engaged
in mortal combat. Seeing that his gun
was ready for action, the bold hunter
rapidly approached the sounds. He made
considerable noise rushing through the
brush. but this did not bother him, for he
knew it was not loud enough to be heard
above the din ahead.
Suddenly coming to a little glade, a
remarkable sight burst into view. In the
center of an open space a huge bull moose
and two buck deer all with large antlers,
were fighting desperately. The moose
was in the middle. with a deer rushing

conditions, but what the deer lacked in
weight they seemed to more than make
up in numbers, and it seemed but a mat

have to give up the battle.
The doctor soon found that he was not
the only spectator of the deadly combat
On the opposite side of the glade were
ranged two does. three fawns and COW

They appeared to be very much excited
and stamped rapidly up and down, occa-
sionally bleating and believing out en-

At this interesting juncture, the doc
tors sporting blood got the better of HIM
and with three shots he dropped all three
of the fighters III their tracks. He kindly
permitted the feminine portion of the
audience to leave the theater unmolested
but he came very near not getting out
alive himself. for no sooner had he fired
the three shots than with n frightful
crash and rear a third moose, also a large
bull. broke through the brush from behind
and charged him. Unfortunately the doc
| tors gun was one of the kind holding
only four cartridges, a half magazine. so
he had only one she'll in it ut that time
This was fired so hurriedly that it missed

climb a tree when the moose saw the

an interview: ''The proper way to de-

thought of there being a boundary line

the major, "of there not being any
more land in North Dakota and the
surrounding States, and the people are
focking to Canada to get good farms.
Naturally the number that will come

Why Old People are Especially Liable
to Systemic Catarrfl.
When old age comes on, catarrhal dis
eases come also. Systemic catarrh is
almost universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become
SO Indispensable to old people. Peruna
is their safeguard. Peruna is the only
remedy yet devised that entirely meets
these cases. Nothing but an effective
systemic remedy can cure them.
