The Bottle Fed Trees,

Science has recently learned a COCA
deal that was previously unknown
about the anatomy of a tree, and es-
pecially about the circulatory system
of the great plant. In order that it
shall be healthy it is as necessary for
a tree to have a good circulation as
fot a man. But hitherto nobody has
realized the activity of this function
i'm the tree-an activity sufficiently
evidenced by the fact that chemical
Substances injected into cottonwoods
Were detected in the sap of the top
most twigs, thirty to forty feet above
the bottle, within ten hours. Some
recent experiments at the North Da-
kota Experiment Station have had for
their object merely the feeding of
poorly nourished young trees, which,
when supplied with a bottle filled at
frequent intervals, appeared to suck
in sustenalnce at a rapid rate. So far,
indeed, is this the case that it has
been found possible to regulate to
some extknt the growth of young
trees by Auch means, retarding their
dtvelepment or making it more rapid
as might be desired. 1t is all a mat
ter of food supply, the patient" I'M
der treatment showing a ready will
ipgness to absorb extra provendeI
and to utilize it in the building OF
plant tissues.

with food for three months. After
that the commissary officers in Cuba
will provide their own food under
the direction of the commanding Off
GERS in the field.
General Sharp also made arrange
ments for the immediate shipment to
Newport News of $1,000 emergency
rations. These came from Kansas
City, where they are manufactured.
An emergency ration is in a sealed
can, weighs but twenty unces and
has enough condensed food in it for
three meals. These rations are used
only in cases of great necessity and
will be given to the men who go out
on long hikes which might take them
away from the base of supplies.
The Bureau of Ordnance of the
War Department, of which Brigadier-
General Crozier is the head, has a
sufficient supply of ammunition with
in easy reach to meet all possible de-
mands.
The transportation of troops to
various parts of the island for garri-
son duty will present n serious diff
ficulty, for modern railroad lines now
connect Havana with Santiago and
with Pinar del Rio. The old high
ways of the Spanish regime, little
better than trails in many parts of
the island, have been replaced by
macadamized roads between the chief
cities, which will permit of rapid
movements by cavalry patrols. The
second occupation of Cuba begins in
an orderly manner, without haste or
waste, and the reins of authority laid
down at the evacuation in 1902 will
be taken up as if there had been no
interval of experimenting with civil
government.

RIGHT HOME
Doctor Recommends Postum From
Personal Test.

No n is better able to realize
the Injurious action of caffeine-the
drug in coffee-on the heart, than the
doctor.
When the doctor himself has been
relieved by simply leaving off coffee
and using Postum, he can refer with
full conviction to his own case.
A Mo. physician prescribes Postum
for many of his patients because he
was benefited by it. He says:
II wish to add my testimony in re-
gard to that excellent preparation
Postum. i have had functional or
nervous heart trouble for over Is
years, and part of the time was I'M
able to attend to my business.
Il was a moderate user of coffee
and did lot think drinking it hurt
me. But on stopping it and using
Postum instead, my heart has got all
right, and | ascribe i to the change
from coffee to Postum.
II am prescribing it now in cases
of sickness. especially when coffee
does 10. agree, or affects the heart,
nerves or stomach.

better flavor than coffee, and is a
vital sus-a.ne Of the system. | shall

Amusing the Baby.

ROSCOE c. Sutcliffe, who has fought
chlild-lhbor so successfully for sixteen
years, said recently in Dallas:
"ThIese employers of child-labor
seem to me to be ~lunatics. They fat
ten on tender little children, working
them eleven OF twelve hours a day,
sfuntihg alike their bodies and their
minds; yet in nine cases out of ten
they are pious, church-going people,
and they ssure you calmly that their
&ork benefits and gladdens the chill
dre1h instead Of harming and sadden-
ing them.
''They remind one in their perfect
assurance of my wife's niece, q child
of hine.
'1My wife's niece was once left 4.
charge of her baby brother for some
hou RS.
'iWhen the mother returned home,
the first sound she heard was the iopd
Yelling and squalling of the baby.
Shy ran upstairs at once.
= What is the baby crying for?'
she said.
f'And the baby's juvenile monitress
answered calmly:

Swiss Doctors of journalism,

In view of the proposed establish
ment of a university Of journalism
IN New York, the United States Con-
sui at Brunswick draws attention to
the instruction that is being given in
this subject in the universities of
Germany and Switzerland. During
the present summer session lectures
on various aspects of journalism are
being delivered at the universities of
Leipsic, Berlin and Heidelberg, as
well as at the Technical High School
OF Danzig and at the commercial col
leges of Leipsic and Cologne. At the
University of Berne a course is being
given on the editing and news SER
vice of a newspaper, with practical
exercises" while at Zurich, as the
Consul points out, the degree of doc
tor may now be obtained in journal
ism as well as in any other political
science.-London Times.

Wives as LOTTERY Prizes.

That marriage is a lottery is not
merely a figure of speech in the prov
ince of Smolensk, Russia; it is an
actual fact. There four times every
year a lottery is held, the capital
prize being a young country girl, with
sometimes a good dowry in sheep.
The price Of a ticket is about eighty
five cents. At a single drawing 5000
tickets are sold. He who is fortu-
nate enough to draw the lucky ticket
has his alternative-he may marry
the girl if she pleases him, also gain
ing thereby $4374, in addition to
whatever the girl brings with her as
dowry; or if the ''prize" in question
does not please him he can turn the
ticket owe to a friend.-Detroit

A feeling OF relief is everywhere
manifested over what is regarded as
the end of the strife in Cuba. The Gu
ban Government officials and politi-
clans were not much in evidence,
but even among them expressions of
satisfaction were not uncommon
over the fact that a reliable Govern
ment had control of the islands af-
fairs. Everybody seems inclined to
agree that the future is much bright
er than it would have been under
other conditions. Implicit confidence
is expressed in the good faith of the
United States, and while no one is
willing to predict the duration of the
American occupation, the Cubans as
a rule are hopeful that the sovereign
ty of the republic will eventually be
be restored to them.

Nhe Solar System.

In al Jne heavens, with the excep-
ions o5passing meteors or meteor
ties, no one body occupies a position
closer d the earth than the moon,
which some 100000 miles away

any e$arthly distance, but a mere
fractiokn side by side with other as
Economical distances.
Nexf to the moor our nearest occa-
sional neighbor is Venus, and then
Mars. Both Venus and Mars, how
ever, 4ra often farther away from us
than thel sun, which remains always
at somewhere about the same dis
tance,i roughly at from 10000, 900
to 99,bOp,OO0 miles.
THIS dividing space between sun
and earth is of great Importance in
~think4ngi about the stars, and it
shoulF be clearly impressed upon the
mind| Next to the sun in point of
near4essl come the more distant plan
ets-Jupiter, which is about five
.imes as far from the sun as our earth
is; SATURN, near twice as far as Jupi-
ter; uranus, nearly twice as far as
Saturn, land Neptune, nearly three
times af far as Saturn. All these
planets lbelong to our sun, all are
members of his family, all are part
of tlpe sblar system. The size of the
solar system as a whole, consisting
thus of the u and his planets, in
cludingl our earth, may be fairly we'll
gra$peqi by anyone taking the trouble
to MASTER two simple facts. They are
these, that our earth is roughly about
2,p003000 miles away from the sun,
and THAT Neptune, the outermost
planet lof the solar system, is nearly
thirty times as far distant from the

The Domestic Hen a Wonder.

Scratching a living here and there,

which would cause much loss of crops
If allowed to live, the ordinary barn
yard hen is q wonderful combination of
productive forces. In five years time
she will lay 700 eggs, each contain
Ing $50 grains of water, 125 of fat,
l0S of lime, sc Of albumen, &c of sugar
and 10 of ash-the most condensed and
strengthening form of food offered to
man. Every person having a little
plot Of ground is able to keep from
half a dozen to many dozen of these
wonders and so add to the family in
come. To do this to the greatest adj
vantage, one must know how to car
for his fowls-to guard against, de-
tect and cure disease; which fowls to
save for breeding purposes, etc. The
simplest and most satisfactory way of
securing this knowledge is to buy it
from some person who has made a
success of fowl raising as a business.

tablish peace, and the intention of
continuing the country's constitu-
tional our with its own citizens up
to n after the new elections, which
shall determine the future permanent
native government of the island. No
one vas menaced; all were treasured.
The favorable reception of the procla-
nation was universal and pro-
nounced.
No troops were landed. The Cuban
flag remains flying in its accustomed
place, it's courts are unchanged and
there is no disturbance of the usual
order of things. 1t had been planned
to land 5000 marines and iackies
from the feet in the harbor as soon
as it was learned that the Cuban Con-
gress would not meet to elect a sue
cessor to President Palma. These
were to be camped in various open
places in the city for it's protection.
But this plan was abandoned.
At President Palma's request thirty
marines were sent from the Newark
to guard the Treasury, and this is
all the force that has been landed.
The sight of a large body of foreign
troops occupying their city was thus
saved the Cubans, and they appreciat-
ed the fact and remained perfectly or
derby. The feelings of some were
ready to be hurt, but the sight of
their own flags all day and the alb
Sence of a uniformed invader under
the circumstances made them happy.
The liberation of siXty-odd political
prisoners added to the general salts
faction ver the peaceful ending of
an intolerable situation. In the
change not the slightest friction oc-
Cured anywhere, and if in the hearts
of a few politicians who brought on
the downfall of the first republic
there is soreness, the great mass of
the people feel only joy at the pros
pect of q second more completely
s~afeguarded by their powerful friend
on the north.
The commission to superintend the
laying down of arms by the rebels
will visit all the rebel camps through
out the island. 1t will also disarm
the volunteer forces of the Govern
ment, leaving the Cuban forces as
they existed prior to the rebellion.
The commission will be accompanied
by a disbursing officer who will pay
the expenses of the return home of
the rebels and thus avoid any dissat-
iSfaction.
Governor. Taft received many
prominent Cubans, including the
Mayor and municipal officers and SUI
gar growers and cattle breeders of
Camaguey: The latter complained
to him that anarchy was rampant in
the Province of Puerto Principe, that
many of their cattle and horses had
been stolen, and that some women
had been assaulted. Captain Mccoy
assured them that American soldiers
would be there within a week.
General Funston conferred with
Mr.. Taft regarding the location of
the camps for the first division of
the American troops to be landed
here. General Funston will CON-
mand all the troops in Cuba, but if
they exceed the dimensions of a bri-
gade an officer OF higher rank will be
sent from the United States. 1t is
practically certain, however, that no
such contingency will arise, as it is
apparent that the maintenance of the
Provisional Government will not re-
anire a large number of troops.

ARMY OF
Force of 5652 Men Started For Cuba
at Once.

Washington, D. C.-The President,
acting on the request of Secretary
Taft, ordered the troops, 1852 in
number, which had received pre-
paratory ORDERS" to sail for Cuba.
The necessary orders were imme-
diately telegraphed to commanding
officers of organizations and to staff
officers. Special trains were in readi-
ness at nearly every point and these
started as soon as the troops got
aboard. The troops were taken by
rail to Newport News, Va, the point
of embarkation. The transport Sum-
ner will carry the first organization.
With the troops which are to go
forward and the marines and blue
jackets already in Cuba, the United

number will prove sufficient to gar
