From Acorn to Tree.

The oak does not produce good
seed until it is more than six years
old. The acorn is the fruit of the oak.
The seed germ is small object at the
pointed end of the acorn, with the fu.
ture root uppermost. The acorn
drops, and its contents doubtless un.
dergo important molecular and chem.
ical changes while it lies under its
winter covering of leaves or snow,
says the Chicago News.
In the mild warmth of spring the
acorn swells, the little root elongates,
energies from the end of the she'll,
and no matter what the position of
the acorn, turns downward. The
root penetrates the soil two or three
inches before the stalk begins to show
itself and grow upward. The meat"
of the acorn nourishes both root and
stalk, and two years may pass be-
fore its store of food is entirely eX.
hausted.
At the end of year the young oak
has a root twelve to eighteen inches
long, with numerous shorter rootlets,
the stalk being from six to eight
inches high. In this stage it differs
from the tree. To watch these trans
formations under the lens is fascin-
ating occupation.
II an oak could be suspended in the
perfect and unobscured, the sight
would be considered wonderful. The
activity of the roots represents a
great deal of power. They bore into
the soil and flatten themselves to
penetrate a crack in rock. Invaria.
bly, the tips turn away from the light.
The growing point Of tiny outer root
is back of the tip small distance.
The tip is driven on by the force be-
hind it and searches the soil for the
easiest points of entrance.
When the tips are destroyed by OBJ
structions, cold, heat or other causes,
a new growth starts in varying direc-
tions. The first roots thicken and be-
come girders to support the tree, no
longer feeding it directly, but serving
as conduits for the moisture and nour-
ishment gathered by the outer root.

Mysteries OF Planting.

The devices adopted by nature for
securing the planting and distribution
of seeds are very interesting. Some
seeds have wings, so that they may
be carried away as far as possible in
falling from tie parent plant. Oth-
ers, like those of the milkweed and
dandelion, may be said to be provided
with balloons, inasmuch as they are
made so light by feathery appendag-
es that they are readily drawn up to
great heights by warm currents or
air. Astronomers used 70 mistake
the floating seeds of the milliweed for
meteors until q noted star gazer set
his telescope at a near focus and was
thus enabled to examine the floating
vegetable germs that passed across
the field of view. Certain burrs are
seed vessels that are provided with
tiny hooks in order that they may
catch in the fur of animals and be
carried of.

The Careful King.

Once upon a time certain king OF
Persia went out hunting with all his
court. The chase that day happened
to be long, and the king became very
thirsty. But no fountain or river
could be found near the spot on the
plain where they rested for short
interval At last one of the courtiers
spied a large garden not far OFF. 1t
was filled with trees bearing lemons,
oranges and grapes, His followers
begged the monarch to partake OF the
good things in the garden.
Heaven forbid that | should eat
anything thereof said the king, for
If | permitted myself to gather but an
orange from it my officers and court
iers would not leave single fruit in
the entire garden"

He's a real smart fish, isn't he?"
said Alan. Did your Aunt Peggy
ever see one?"
Yes, and she saw the ink, too, and
she dipped a pen in it and wrote her

most like any ink. If you'll come in

An Elephant cauaht a Fish.

Elephants are very wise and can be
trained TO do many things. A gentle
man who had lived for many years in
India tells some interesting stories OF
these great beasts. He had owned
one that became so fond of his two
small boys that the parents felt glad
IL the children were in the elephants
care. The three friends often went
off on long tramps together, and the
home with the two small boys riding,
happy and safe, on his back.
One day they remained away SO
long that the father finally went to
look after them. After some search
ing he came out on the river bank,
and a funny sight met his eyes.
The great elephant was standing
knee deep in the mud, with a happy
small boy squatting on either side of
him, and all three were fishing inst
as hard as they could. The boys held
their rods in their hands and their
companion held his with his trunk,
while they all were watching the
corks bobbing about on top of the
water. By-and-by the elephants line
gave a flop, and the boycs crowded up
to see If it really meant that he had
caught a fish. He had, and while the
big brute watched them solemnly.
they pulled out the line, detached the
fish, and then, putting on another
worm, gravely handed the rod back to
its owner-Detroit News.Tribune.

THE MAGIC OF A SMILE.

q MILE a little, smile a little,
~ AS you go along;
Not alone when life is pleasant,
But when things so wrong.
Care delights to see you frowning-
Loves to near you sigh;
Turn a smiling face upon her,
Quick the dame will fly.
Smile a little, smile a little,
All along the road;
Every life must have it's burden
Every heart it's load
Why sit down in gloom and darkness
With your grief to sup?
AS you drink Fate's bitter tonic
Smile across the cup.
Smile upon the troubled pilgrims
Whom you pass and meet;
Frowns are thorns and smiles are bios
SONS
Oft for weary feet.
Do not make the way seem harder
By a sullen face.
Smile little, smile a little
Brighten up the place.
Smile upon your undone labor;
Not for one who grieves
Ger his task waits wealth or glory;
He who smiles achieves.
Though you meet with loss and sorrow
In the passing years,
Smile little, smile little
Even through your tears.

a draped female form whose appraised
hands and folded wings support the
desk of the lectern. The figure stands
on a globe with one foot resting OF
Great Britain and the other on the
United States. The globe itself is sup
ported by the British lion and the
American eagle. Between these figures
is the coat of arms Of the English
Washington family.
Each of the three tablets at the base
of the lectern bears an inscription. On
that to the front are the words. ITO
