Birds Plant Trees.

An old time Arizona woodchoppel
says the blue jays have planted thou.
sands of the trees now growing all
over Arizona. He says these birds have
a habit of burying small seeds in the
ground with their beaks and that they
frequent pine trees and bury large
numbers Of the small pine nuts in the
ground, many of which sprout and
grow.
He was walking through the pines
with an eastern man a short time ago
when one of these birds flew from a
tree to the ground, stuck his bill into
the earth and quickly flew away. When
told what had happened, the eastern
man was skeptical, but the two went
to the spot and with a knife blade dug
out sound pine nut from a depth Of
about an inch and half Thus it Will
be seen that nature has her own plan
for forest perpetuatiOn.

A House Moving Worm.

The bagworm is ii little smarter than
his cousin the caterpillar. Both make
very snug little Silken houses for them
selves, but the bagworm lives in his
and moves it around from place to
place. When he becomes tired of liv
ing in one neighborhood he simply
crawls halfway out of his silkeh sack
and holding on to it with his back
feet. walks away on his front ones,
pulling his house along after him. OF
course the house must be very strong
to stand being dragged about like this,
so he weaves in little twigs which
make it very firm.
After awhile the bagworm fastenS

pupa. Not satisfied with this, the male
worm crawls out again and becomes a
moth The poor female meanwhile
stays in her house, lays some eggs and

Curtis declined to go and from that

cided to take the advice.
The night before reaching the port
of New York Curtis was sitting with
"thc schoolsirl' in a retired place on
deck. He dropped several hints that it
was time for all passengers to be in
bed, but the senorita seemed inclined
to sit late. Suddenly Curtis felt himself
embraced by an iron grip and was pow

out bottle from a pocket in her dress
and, saturating handkerchief with 1t,
held it against his face

THE LABOR AGITATOR.
Some of the Qualities He Must Pos
sess to BE Successful.


sess to BE Successful.
Strikes contribute but slightly to the
equipment Of the successful labor agi-
tator. The agitator must be thorough
ly acquainted with the history of the
labor movement and be capable of pre-
sentng It's aims and aspirations In an
attractive and convincing manner He
must possess the ability to think rapid
ly and to express his views and opin-
ions clearly and forcibly. But. Withal,
he must inspire those whom he would
lead with absolute faith in his honesty
The agitator isn't always an advocate
of strikes. He has sometimes to exert
his influence to prevent Il strike which
his Judgment tells him would be un-
wise. 1t may sound like mixing terms
to say so, but it is Il truth that the
most difficult tasks performed by the
labor agitators are their "agitations
in the interest of peace, their efforts to
prevent strikes. The man who is al
ways i'll favor of strike as soon as
one is suggested or who is constantly
on the search for a eaSuS bclli soon
finds his influence as a leader gone. -

Among the Yao Midos, one Of the
many Burmese-Tartar people, the
young men woo their wives absolutely
without words, but to the sound Of
music. On the first day Of winter they
have a great feast, at which all the
manageable girls gather and listen to
the music made by the bachelors, who
sit under the ''desire tree," each play
ing his favorite instrument. AS the
maiden he loves passes him the youth
plays louder and more feellngly. If the
girl ignores him and passes on he
knows that she will have none of him;
If she steps UP to him and lays a
flower upon the instrument, he jumps
up, grasps her by the hand, taking
care not to drop the flower. and they
go away together.

And then they'll vote the other way

Dogs In the Arctic,

Dogs are ~undenlably the most useful
animals for man in his polar expedi-
tons where sledges must be dragged
over the ice of the polar sea. They
have the advantage also that. unlike
horses and reindeer, they readily eat
their fellows. Their weight Is small,
and they can be easily carried on light
boats or on Ice foes. AS the Danish
government has forbidden the exporta.
ton of dogs from Greenland explorers
usually get their animals from western
Siberia.
