BEAUTIFUL NATIVE TREES.
American Elm Should Be Planted
When Soil Is Moist and Suitable
Other Good Examples.

Probably the American elm
would be voted our most graceful
and beautiful tree, asserts the
Chautauquan. Ii is certainly

has received. 1t should be plant.

where there is an abundant

species which have come to us
from Europe are not so graceful
in shape, but they have qualities
which make them worthy of place
in any cemetery large enough to
contain all available trees.
The naples are good trees, es-
pecially the sugar maple and the
Norway maple. The latter is, per.
haps, the most available Orna.

The soft white or silver maple is
a tree of very rapid growth, but

AUSTRALIA DIVORCE MECCA
More Divorces There Than in Mos.
Countries, But Average Is
by Far Less.

divorces in the Australian
states" says United States Con
sui GOdingat New Castle, IS. W..
"are more numerous than in most
OF the countries of the world,
though the average is far below
that reached in the United States.
The number is particularly large
in Victoria and New South Wales,
where the facilities for procuring
divorces are greater than they are
in the other states. Since hepass.
ing of the Shells act of 1890, which
made desertiOn for three years a
ground for divorce in Victoria.
divorces have averaged over 100
per annum, the greatest number
being 131 in 1902, and the lowest,
65 in 1895. The total for the peri.
cd 1S91-1903 was l $50, and the av-
erage per 10000 marriages for the
period 1S96-1902 was 1854.
In countries where divorce laws
are in force this record is only sur.
passed by those of Germany, 165;
France, $50; ROumania. 2O4;
Switzerland, 432, and the United
States, 612 divorces for every TO-
600 marriages.
/. In New South Wales the figures
are mach higher than they are in
Victoria. An act similar to the
Victorian measure came into
force in New South Wales in 1892,
and the number of divorce DEGREES
at once showed an increase-an
almost alarming increase. In the
quinquennial period 1S91-1S96
the number of divorces granted in
New South Wales was no fewer
than 1.0S7, against 212 for the
period Immediately preceding it.
This total gives IAN average of
212.3 divorces per 10000 mar
riages, which is much more than
double the average in Victoria
during the same years, and is ex.
coded only by those for Switzer,
land and the United States. In
the period 1S96-19O2 the number
of divorces granted in New South
Wales was 1,615. an average of
26S.4 per 10000 marriages. the
third greatest among all countries
where divorces are in force.

EUROPE LIKES OUR SALMON
Puget Sound and Columbia Fish Are
Offered to Residents Of Ber-
lin and Paris.

Puget sound and Columbia riv-
er salmon are delicacies offered in
a fresh state to the people of Par
is, Berlin, Copenhagen and other
European cities, says the eSattle
correspondent of the Chicago In
ter Ocean.
These fish are being successfully
shipped in cold storage from the
plaats of Puget sound and the Co.
Iumbia river direct to Copenha-
gen and other European ports, ar.
irving there in a perfect state of
preservation
In a recent shipment sent BY
way of New York and Copenhagen
TO European centers, $4,000 Co.
lumbia river ShinOOk salmon
were handled without the loss of a
single fish. The pink beauties
were served as table delicacies
without theolOss of any of their
flavor.
The export of the Pacific coast
salmon in cold storage is really in
an experimental stage as yet. 1t
is only within the past few years
that the cold storage plants have
been able to ship successfully to
eastern points, but the sale Of
salmon on the Atlantic coast is
now a common enterprise.
Cold storage houses are COM
peting with the canneries, and,
where the demand justiies it, the
cold storage people have outbid
the Gamers. So long as the sup.
ply runs low the cold storage
men will get the better part of the
salmon caught either in the Co.
lumbia river or Puget sound.
This has been demonstrated In
the American trade, and will be
more than ever true since the
European demand has opened.

DAY OF FAKE JewsLRY FAD
Dealer in Genuine Article Sees Trade
Fall Of Because of Imi-

This is the day Of the manufac.

said the sale of genuine jewelry in
New York has, suffered from the

been possible to obtain imitation
jewelry in France and England
which is difficult of detection by
experts. The principal manufac-

nun these diamonds" would also

are given an undetectable resem.

These gems" are mounted in IA

worn, the platinum tipping can
not be seen. An infinite variety
of designs, copied from the best of
real models, are shown, and at a
price which is about so per cent.
less than the genuine. All the
colored stones-rubies, sapphires,

manufactured and are similar in
appearance. The turquoise is so
hard that the surface can be filed
and no blemish made on the stone.
As genuine pearls are the most
costly of gems the imitation
pearls take the lead in price. They
are made of fshskin and a secret

of some especially good imitation
pearls, known as venetian
pearls" is lost art, the process
having been invented by a poor

him. The difficulty in the manu-.

A long time ago when the earth was
young she used to have things pretty
much her own way. Every month she
had a new moon to play with. When
she got tired of it she threw it away
and a little new one grew for her.
The old moon always took care of
the little one till it was big enough to
whirI alone. The first few nights Of
its life it was rocked carefully to sleep
and everything went happily until one
fateful October.
The little new October moon had
just been born, and the old September
moon was lowering over it. when she
noticed that it was large for its age
and moreover was a very handsome
little crescent.
This was unusual, for up to this time
all the moons had been just alike.
Il think Ill keep an eye on this
yuongster,' said September with just
a tiny pang of jealousy at her center
'She's better looking than I was at her
age, and she'll be feeling it,"
