II makes one sick at heart to witness
tns ruin that these wretches have
wrought. Every farm house should be
surrounded by beautiful trees and none
are more beautiful than native oaks
with their large. spreading branches.
VI course the shade should not be TOO
oense, SO as to produce dampness.
There should be some opening for
glimpses of sunlight row and then. Nor
should the trees touch the house, or
overhang it. There should also be
enough light and sunshine. to nourish
a Rich. carpet OF grass. Every field
should have at least one good shade
tree, and pasture fields should have sew
ersi so that the stock may find shelter
WITHOUT molesting one another. Shade
is grateful to both man and beast. What

tree? II the farmer is bent upon econ

makes very fine shade Cattle will keep

protects them. A good, large apple tree
makes very satisfactory shade without
sptdiine so much ground as large oak.
This point may be considered, il one
insists On economy. The fruit of the
apple tree may also be marked up in
its favor. There is no reason why 1t
should not be a considerable item. The
pleasure Of getting fruit fresh from the
tree will also count for much to the tired
lab0rer. The culture Of q family is ex-
hihited in the shade trees and other ex-
terpal characteristics Of their home as
much as in their speech and the clothes
they wear. These are what make the
cid country homes so impressive. No
matter how elegant in itself. no house
can ever seem like true home while
standing In bare field exposed to the
broiling sun and pelting storms.-T. c.

New York, %<Dec.. fYY22.-An[ invention
which is expected to revolutionize the
telegraph business, and which has been
IN operation on the lines of the Western
Union Telegraph company for some
Barclay of that company. Mr.. Bar
clay is the inventor " If:
He claims for his invention that it
does away with the receiving operator.
At each end Of the telegraph line the
instrument is attached to a standard
typewriter, and the message to be
transmitted is given to d stenographer.
The: stenographer sits at, the sending
typewriter, and as he writes the mes
sage is reproduced, letter for letter, at
the other end on the receiving type
writer.
So perfect is the machine that every
Of the sender is duplicated by the type
writer at the receiving station. Tho
spacing, the paragraphing and the speed
are the same. The most expert type
writer cannot write too fast for the re-
ceiver to take the message.
Mr.. Barclay has worked for five
years to perfect the machine. He said
today: =
very simple, and it will not cost great
deal to install it. We are not going to
put it in use thruout the country imme-
diately.- The machine will only be used
in the important cities where the
volume of business is large and time is
valuable.
"The machine will be especially
beneficial to newspapers. Long stories
sent from correspondents can be re-
ceived in the Offices written and ready
for the editor. The mechanism will be
installed in the newspaper Offices first. -
Mr.. Barclay has been connected with
the Western Union Telegraph company
for thirty-seven years, coming here from
Chicago. He has originated many eco
nonlic and time-saving devices.

NEW FRENCH CANNON
PRONOUNCED A TERROR
New York Sun Special Service.


Paris, Dec. 22.-Interest is caused
here by the recent experiments with a
new cannon, a secret invention. The
most recent tests were made at Havre
last Sunday in the presence of Ber-
teaux, the minister Of war, and fifty
deputies and senators.
The merit Of the invention is the
extreme simplicity of the mechanism.
Three men can operate it, one to sight,
one to attend to the breech and one
whose duties are secret. 1t produces
a Whistling noise, heard a mile and a
half away, SO powerful is the force of
the shot. No ship in any navy will
be able to withstand it..
Altho fred $50 times, the gun appar-
entity was unchanged, whereas usually
the life of a cannon is 500 shots. A
French military expert, discussing the
new cannon, estimates that 100 such
cannon would protect the entire coast
Of France. The cost of the cannon is
said to be 100000, including quota
of proiectiles.

he met his hired man coming to town.:
They quarreled. The sum of Is cents is
said to have been the bone of conten-

where Mrs. Miles was alone with her
two small children. In the house the
men fought and the hired man got the
better of the contest, throwing Staten

Mrs. Miles took down shotgun and
ordered both out. When the men went

Fur Trader Murdered.
Word has reached Duluth that Dan
Cameron, fur trader, was murdered a
few days ago near Mine Center in the
Rainy river country by an Indian from
whom he had purchased 500 worth of
furs. The murderer is under arrest at
Fort Frances, Ont.
The story here is that the Indian who
had received the money followed Cam
eron and shot him. The Indian then
repossessed himself of the furs that he
had sold to his victim.
! Vigilance Committees Formed
Incensed over the murders and rob-
berries committed recently by Cameron
Indians in the northern part, of Itasca
county, near the international boundary,
the settlers and homesteaders have
formed themselves into vigilance COM
mittees for the purpose of avenging the
deaths of some Of their comrades.

EIasfic Marble.

In one account of Rome the author
mentions five or six slabs of elastic
marble as being in the possession of
the Prince Borghese. Being set on
end they bend backward and forward.
When laid horizontally and raised at
end they form a curve. If placed on
a table and a piece Of wood or any
other substance is laid under them
they fall into a kind of curve, each end
touching the table. The Able Forts
was told that they were dug up near
the town of Moldragon, in the king
dom of Naples. The grain is like that
of fine Carrara marble or perhaps of
the finest Greek. They seem to have
suffered some attack of fire. A slab
of marble similar in every respect to
those described and highly polished has
been exhibited for years at the British
