A Sat in Church.

At a recent and well-attended reli-
gious service in this city on a hct
evening, a bat varied the interest OF
the occasion by flying about the room
much of the time, occasionally in en-
barrassing proximity to the bewilder-
ing beauties of the millinery art. 1t
appeared to enjoy good society, as 1t
made TO effort to escape through the
open windows on either side of the
room. Two or three times it alighted
on the wall and listened attentively,
apparently resting as easily upon its
perpendicular seat as though it were
upon the floor. A few of the sitterr
we're very nervous, and regarded tie
bat as an unweIcome intruder-a dark
portent of evil. Others, more optimis-
tic, looked upon it as a raincarnation,
a glorifed mouse, haEing won its
wings by unfailing rectitude Oh the
lower plane of its animal life. At any
event, it p~erseyered in it's presence,
and was flying about ioyfully when
the benediction was pronounced.-Troy

IL you will adopt the Home Health
Club method Of reducing the fat, which
is a disease of digestion. you will cure
all Of the difficulties or disorders which
you have enumerated. / would also
suggest that you practice thorough
flushing Of the colon until the effect
of the treatment for obesity or exces-
siye fat is noticeable. Then you
should take cold sitz baths at least
every other night until the constipation
is cured.
How to reduce the flesh and at the
same time grow stronger was fully de-
scribed not long ago by n Of the

OutiaWed.

The mar on the downtown car
was holding on by a strap next to a
tailor whom he happened to know, and
between begging pardons and grant
ing them to his neighbor, he was try
ing to read a few paragraphs in his
paper. One of them, says the Brooklyn
Eagle, told Of a discovery by a Nippur
expedition Of the University Of Penn
sylvania-a well-preserved and thor
oughly authenticated taiior's bill
nearly five thousand years old.
Since the mar who was holding on
to the next strap is himself engaged in
the clothing business the man with
the newspaper thought the item would
interest him, SO he read it aloud to
him; but the story left the listener
with a blank look on his face.
Don't you understand" said the
other, impatiently. "1t's a tailor's bill
almost five thousand years old"
"Well," said the tailor, without ex-
element, what is it good for? They

An Autom obile Fire Denartrnent.

The municipal authorities Of Vienna
have determined to abandon the use
Of horses to draw their fire apparatus
and to equip their service entirely on
an automobile basis. The Vienna fire
department is considered the best
equipped of Continental Europe, and
within ten years it has replaced all
obsolete apparatus with the most mod
ern and useful devices. The first step
taken was the ordering of ffty-three
motor chemical engines and wagons
TO replace those previously drawn by
horses, and which are most useful fof
dealing with small fires. When this
has been accomplished, the horse
drawn steam fire engines and the ex-
tension ladders will be changed or
replaced in some way not as yet deter
mined. It is claimed that increased
efficiency will follow the innovation,
while there will be a saving of some
$4,000 per annum in the cost of main-
tanning the stations for which the fif-
ty-three sets Of apparatus have been
ordered. The outlay will be about

trrs EUCALYFTUo TREE.
In Espidlty and Hardness OF It's
Growth It Has No Equal.

One CT the most useful and wonder
full of all the trees is the eucalyptus.
1t is predicted by the United States
bureau Of forestry that within a few
years the different varieties OF eucalyp-
tus will solve the fuel problem, both
in America and in Europe. In the
raridity and the hardness OF its
growth this tree has no equal. FIVE
years from the time Of planting
groves raised from seedlings VIII
yield IS cords of stove wood an acre.
Three to five years from the time OF
cutting sprouts that spring from the
stumps mature into trees that produce
more cords to the acre thar the or
igiral growth. Repeated cuttings ado
to the thriftiness of the eucalyptus.
A period Of 25 years will develop
trees the size Of oaks known to be
900 years old. In some sectlcI
nearly exhausted as fuel the eucalyp-
tus is taking it's place.
Some varieties thrive in tropical
swamps. Others flourish in the noun
tain SHOWS far above the timber line.
To every degree of climate and con-
dition between these extremes some
species from this prolific genus is
adapted. Scientists have demonstrate
ed that eucalyptus has a wonderful
effect upon climate. From some OF
the swampy areas Of Italy malaria has
been banisAed by the growth Of the
eucalyptus groves. This is due both
to the tonic and medical effects of its
aroma and t1e trees phenomenal
capacity for absorbing water.
Notwithstanding tie latter trait,
however, some varieties OF the blue
gum will thrive On arid plains. Soil
on which not even cactus will live will
produce great eucalyptus trees.
The genus is invaluable as a source
Of timber. The uses it is put to in
this regard are amazingly diverse. IN
Australia it is used extensively in the
construction of ships, buildings,
bridges, vehicles, agricultural imple-
ments, furniture, barrels and hum
dreds of minor articles.
Faultless hardwood logs over 2O0
feet long, 120 feet in diameter at the
top and 80 feet in diameter at the
base are hewn from giant eIcolyptus.
1t is one of the most durable of hard
woods. This is a remarkable fact
when the celebrity of it's growth is con
sidered. In repairing a decayed pier
at Santa Barbara, Cal, it was found
hat a few piles were perfectly sognd.
Examination disclosed that they had
been hewn from eucalyptus trees
