The logical application of such a

charge brought against any company

FINE TREE SURGERY
SUCCESSFUL WORK DONE WITH HISTORIC OLD FILMS.
Decayed Cavities Cleaned Out Just as Doctor Would Clean Wound In [ Human Body, and Antisep- <, tic Dressing Used.

Tree surgery is the vogue in the Connecticut valley where stately trees. some of them two centuries old, have been threatened with destruction from decay. Many historic elm has been saved to this and coming generations by the careful. thorough method of treatment which the tree doctor has prescribed. Tons of cement have been put within the hollow trunks of some trees in order that there might be given to them new lease of life, and 1t is really wonderful how trees have rallied after the treatment and give promise of rounding out several more decades. Among the trees thus pre- Served which are of national fame and interest are the Jonathan Edwards elm, at Northampton, the Indian house

In her hand she held ticket plainly marked 69. and representing. so her friend who had purchased 1t at the shipping office had said, very comfortable stateroom.
 So with not few pleasant anticipa- tions,. the girl followed the stewardess into a neatly equipped cabin, marked clearly on the door. "69."
 Suddenly the ssewardess stepped back, murmuring words of apology. The cabin was already occupied by a lady.
 "oh. but it is my cabin" protested Miss NJ. This is 69, and my ticket says s."
 Mine also says 69," replied the lady, undoing a bag and producing her ticket.
 The stewardess looked perplexed, and asked that she might see the lady's ticket

 ''No. surely not" said the lady. talk. ing the ticket from the stewardess. Then her face flushed indignantly. Well, the steamship company should have their tickets printed more plain ly," she retorted. T have unpacked my things and arranged this cabin as want it. shall not leave it now"
 For few minutes a small warfare ragged between the stewardess and the lady. The one declared that she must uphold the rights of passengers. and that the cabin was really engaged for Miss M-. and the other refused blunt. ly to rellnquish her position. At last. not relishing the unpleasantness that the situation had created, the girl yielded her right to the cabin, and asked 10 be taken to "9s"

Ribbons for Neekwear,

How many of us continually are throwing away old ribbons, taken from discarded hats and waists, think. ing them worthless?

l tin or zinc Is employed, this being sel cured to the trunk or limb in way toI preserve the natural shape. The tin is put on in strips. being fastened with round steel nails having broad head and a small shank. The strips arel wide enough to lap over upon the sound wood and the nails are placed from half an inch to an inch apart. according to the strain imposed.
 The first strip of tin is put on at the lower part of the aperture, and the cement put in until 1t reaches nearly to the top of the tSa. Then secondI strip Is put on, tapping over the other two or three inches. and the twol nailed together. Then more cement isi used. and so on until the cavity isl filled, the last strip of tin being bent down while the final application of cement is being puddled into place and the cavity entirely filled, and then it is straightened up and nailed in place.
 This remedy is applied successfully to fruit trees as we'll as shade trees. MT. Clarke, the octogenarian forester of Northampton. has in his own door,. yard an apple tree 75 years old, to- which large quantity of cement has been applied. This was done at cost of about $50. and the tree is now bearing four different varieties of ap-'' ples.
 The largest filings Mir. Clarke ever, put in tree were in the Jonathan Edwards elm. in Northampton, in which three tons of sand and cement were used. This tree was planted more than 175 years ago by Mir. Ed wards in the early part of his ministry in Northampton. The trunk is now. about 25 feet in circumference, and formerly the tree had immense spread. ing branches and was one of the hand somest trees in the state Much work was involved in treating this tree, and the expense amounted to about s125. The tree is preserved chiefly for it's nlstOTlc interest," lls beauty navinRi been sadly impaired.
 One of the most interesting of an trees in the Connecticut valley is the Indian house tree. in Deerfield, be. lieved to be nearly 250 years old. The house which formerly stood by this tree was the one attacked by the h.. dIans on Feb. 2s. 1704. when many white captives were carried away to Canada and others slain.
 Another fine tree that has been pre- served by this means is the Cen. wIl-l liam Shepard elm in westfield, me. morial of a brave revolutionary officer and the man who commanded the troops which put down shay's rebel Hon.

STREET AND HOUSE SHOES.
Line of Demareatlon Between Them
 Is Strictly Drawn.

Never has the line of demarcation between street and house shoes been wider than it is now. The golden brown kid shoe has simply monopo- lized the field for street footwear. Boots, oxfords or pumps of glossee brown kid are the footwear of the smartly shod.
 This is the logical outcome of the fashion for golden-brown accessories last summer. It is a most sensible, as we'll as a most smart fashion. Aside from the brown kid being ideally com fortable for summer wear, this golden brown shade harmonizes delightfully."- with nearly every possible costume color.
 The ultra fashionables have taken to wearing high brown with cloth or kid tops in the same or one tone darker than the vamp. Whether they will continue to do so when the heat of summer becomes extreme remains to be seen.
 Smaller, yet equally important, &C., cessories to the up-to-date wardrobe are the summer girls veils. belts and jewelry. The most essential thing in these is that they harmonize in de- sign. as we'll as coloring, with the toilet.
 Belts of leather or elastic in the same color as the skirt, or white linen belts. plain or embroidered to match the neckwear. are considered correct with the tailored coat suit of plain fabric. while novelties such as those Japanese feathers are worn with the novelty striped and checked suitings.

His conclusions were supported by mathematical analysis which has since become classic and are accepted at the pres ent time by practically all the astron- omers of the world.
