OLDEST OF LIVING TREES.

One of the Sixty Species known I'd
BE 2,190 Years Old.
This DO tree (the f1cus religiosa) is
probably the oldest living thing in the
world Of which record has been kept
by man, and, with the possible excep-
ton Of the seQuoia, the oldest Of living
trees, says the Century. It was brought
from India by the Princess Sangha-
militia, and was planted by King De-
wananpiya Tigsa In 288 B. O. It is
therefore 2,195 years old. The preser.
walton Of this tree has been an object
Of reverent solicitude to successive dy-
nasties and either through superstitious
reverence or because of it's worthless
ness to a plunderer, 1t has been spared
amid all the havoc Of repeated inva.
sions- AS recently as A. D. 1920 It
was endowed with lands by Kata
Sinah, Kandian chief.
The DO trees age and identity are
matters Of absolutely faithful record
and when one recalls that In the rig
orous climate OF northern Germany, In
Hildesheim, there grows a rose bush
which Is 1000 years old, it does not
seem so remarkable that in the balmy
climate Of Ceylon this tree should have
lived twice as long. 1t Is gnarled and
unsymmetrical, because many Of its
branches have been cut off and sent
to distant temples. This bo tree is
a branch Of the tree under which eau
tama Buddha sat when he attained
Nirvana and Buddhists say the pas
sion through which he passed COM
municated itself to the tree and cauS-
ed all the leaves to tremble.
Each of the millions OF pilgrims
who have toiled along the sacred way
which leads to this shrine has hoped
to bear away with him a leaf from
the sacred tree, and happy Is he at
whose feet one falls.
The leaves ng on a slender stem
and are easily stirred by the slightest
breeze, so each petitioner is rewarded
for his pilgrimage by feeling that the
tree responds to the ferver Of his soul;
but few take home a leaf. Many bring
offerings to the tree and on number
of the lower leaves are sheets Of gold
placed there by jewellers and other
wealthy worshiperR

Raising Garden Truck for Miners
I'm Early Days of Montana.
Ray Woodwork, of Moscow, Idaho,
has been visiting relatives and friends
in Dillon during the last week, says
the Anaconda Standard. Mr.. Wood
worth was one of the early arrivals
at Bannack, when the placer gold was
discovered in Grasshopper Gulch, and
also moved near Virginia City and re-
sided there when that famous placer
field was in It's glory.
Mr.. Woodwork says that he came
to Bannack from Denver in 1868 and
took up n ranch near what is now
known as Taylor Crossing, between
Dillon and Bannack. He brought lot
Of garden seed along with him, believ-
ing that garden vegetables would be
a delicacy SO craved by the miners that
they would pay handsomely for them
and that he would make more money
with his spade and garden rake than
with the rocker and pan. He succeed
ed very well near Bannack and when
there was a rush to Alder Gulch he
went there and took up ranch in the
Madison valley not far from Virginia
City, where he continued raising vege-
tables and selling them to the miners.
He raised the first wheat crop ever
raised in the territory of Montana and
sold his wheat for % cents a pound.
81 lost $1,000 on one load Of ruta-
bagas and it was this way" he said.
81 hired a freighter to haul a big load
to Helena, paying him 4 cents pound,
and told him to sell them for 8 cents
a pound, thinking that that was high
enough for them A few days after he
had left the ranch l heard that the
vegetable was retailing at 90 cents
pound and 1 sent courier after him
to tell him not to sell for less, but the
messenger arrived at Helena q few
hours after he had sold the load for 9
cents a pound. The dealer retailed
them at 60 cents. | also lost some
money on load Of turnips. They froze
en- route and 1 secured only IS cents
a pound for them. l sold many pota-
toes to the Alder Gulch miners for 30
cents a pound, after cutting all the
eyes out of them to save for seeo."

like the early morning for downright
good odorS-the morning before eat
Ing. Fresh from sleep and unclOgged
with food a mans senses cut like
knives. The whole worlds comes in
upon him. A still morning is best, for
the mists and the moisture seem to re-
tain the odors which they have dis
titled through the night. Upon
breezy morning one is likely to get a
single predominant odor, as of clover
when the wind blows across a bayfield,
or of apple blossoms when the wind
comes through the orchard, but upon
perfectly still morning 1t is wonderful
how the odors arrange themselves in
upright strata, so that one walking
passes through them as from room to

IS Pe-ru-na Useful

Should a list of the ingredients ofPe.

pert, ofwhatever school CT nationality,
he would be obliged to admit without
reserve that each one ofthem was ofun-

years experience in the treatment of
such diseases. THERE CAN BE NO
DISPUTE ABOUT THIS WHAT

the home the scientific skill and howl-
edge ofthe modern pharmacist; and last
butnotleast, brings to the home thevast
and varied experience of DR.. Hartman,
ntheuseofcatarrh remedies, and in the
treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh is dis
ease which is very prevalent. Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh. They have visited
doctors over and over again, and been
told that their case is one of chronic
Catarrh. It may be ofthe nose, throat,
lungs, stomach or soms other internal
organ. There is no doubt as to the ma
ture Of the disease. The only trouble
Is the remedy. This doctor has tried to

BUT THEY ALL FAILED TO.
BRING ANY RELIEF.
DR.. Hartman's idea is that catarrh

The Word Etiquette.

The very high sounding word Ell
Quette had a very humble origin, for
etiquette meant simply label. 1t re-
ceived its present Specification from
the fact that Scotch gardener who
laid out the grounds at Versailles for
Louis XIV. was much annoyed at the
courtiers walking over his newly made
paths, and at length had labels placed
to indicate where they might pass AT
first these labels were not attended to,
but a hint from high quarters that In
future the walks Of the courtiers must
be within the ''etiQuettes" or labels
was promptly attended to. To keep
within the etiquettes became the cor
rect thing. The meaning Of the phrase
was afterward widened

Precautions of Old Time Doctors.

1t was formerly the practice among
physicians to carry cane having
hollow head, the top of which was gold
pierced with holes like a pepper box.
The top contained small amount of
aromatic powder or of snuff, and on
entering the house or room where a
disease supposed to be infectious pre-
vailed the doctor would strike his cane
on the floor to agitate the powder and
then apply it to his nose; hence all
the old prints Of physicians represent
them with canes to their noses.
