..rhe strangling Fig.r

Visitors to Mexico and other tropical
countries often have their attention
called to ''the strangling fig'-a tree
that commences its growth as an cpl
phyte (that Is, 6Qe form Of plant life
that grows perched on another) far up
on the trunk or among the branches
Of another tree, usually on a palmetto
or some Of the kinds of palms. The
roots of the strangllng tree extend
downward around the host tree to the
ground, gradually joining together, max
ing q tube-like mass OF roots some
times as much as six feet or more in
diameter.
When the attacked tree is palm,
death to it is caused not so much by
the binding around the trunk as by
shading out its branches by the attack
ing tree.
When the attacked tree is an exogen
(that is, one with wood and bark the
attacking roots bind SO tightly as to
cause a stoppage OF the flow of sap.
As the sap of tree is really its food
(changed by the leaves so that it can
be used) and the flow Of the food Is
thus stopped, the attacked tree is real
ly starved to death. So death to the
attacked tree is caused either by
smothering or by starvation or by both.
The peculiar manner in which the
fiattened roots extend down and around
the tree, give them the appearance Of
some thick, slow-fowing material run
ming down the tree.-St. Nicholas.

A woman's walk.

Walking badly is a defect commonly
seen. Let any enc who doubts it look
from a window that commands view
of a public thoroughfare, and note how
few of the women who pass by hold
themselves we'll or move gracefully.
Imagine the scene Is a stage, and re-
gard people critically, as IL they were
actors or actresses. At once their
method of webbing, or slouching, or
striding, or hobbling. or dragging will
show up in way that would be ridicu-
lous on the stage, where a good walk
is the first thing cultivated. Many
women walk like WORKOUT cart horses,
making 4 labor of every step, without
ease, grace or lightness. The general
fault Of bad walkers Is that they rest
on the heel longer than on any other
part of the foot. That this is a very
common defect can be seen by looking
at the snapshot photographs reproduc-
ed in the papers, most of which depict
some one resting firmly on his heel and
showing the whole sole of his foot to
the observer. The toe should strike IL @
ground first. The wearing of high
heels accounts in measure for the
fact that women so often put down the
heel first

Pensions for mothers from Uncle
Sanl--a sliding scale, according to the
number of children, whether the women
are rich, or poor-is the plan of Prof.
Charles Zueblin, of the University of
Chicago, to stop race suicide. No pre-
MUM will be given, however, for the
thirteenth child. Too many children
he considers as bad as not enough.
Just how the pension is to be paid. or
who is to pay it, Prof. Zueblin did not
make clear.
Il thin. We shall be driven to pen
sion motherhood, unless somehow some
other great change takes place in the
economic status of the wife aud moth

Of our own, meeting our needa sor-
rows and assaults, yet maryeously
clear. uninterruptedly in touch with
heaven, revealing supernatural sources
Of spiritual strength, touched with the
feeling of or infrmities, but show
ing the possibility of overcoming them
BIZ yet closer touch with the infinite.
Here was a life that ever turned its
face to the Father of all; life that
looked up and lived up. Sin is living
down. missing. and falling away from
the mark of mans possibilities. Saliva
ton is living up, growing. going for
ward, reaching toward the mark. Catch
the trend of that life, look on life with
his eyes, turn in the direction he faces.
In other words, believe that he is right
and set yourself with him.
Here was a life that ever believed In
the possibilities of better things. Jesus
had faith in the possibility of good
ness; he believed in virtue. honor,
truth. He may not have seen much OF
these things in others; but he believed
there could be more. and he looked on
the virtues as things not unattainabe
for himself. A man indeed is lost when
he has ceased to believe in the POSSIBLE
ity of goodness for himself or in his
fellows.
Nor was this all; here was a life in
the beauty of harmony and helpfulness
with all other men. He was hated by
the breeders of discontent and preju-
dices because he was by his own life
teaching men to live together as broth
ers. His was not only face turned
toward Father in heaven; it was a
tender face and helping hand turned
toward all his fellows
To believe on Jesus Christ may have
little to do with questions of history
or Of philology; 1t has TO do with see
ing in him and in his life the best in
depreciation of life, the secret of our
living, the message Cor our own man
hood; with seeing life through his
eyes. setting the face in the direction
that he lived, seeing God and man az
he saw them. findirg in him our teach
er. following him as our master In the
art Of living.

SOUL CULTURE.

BY Rev. John S. Heisler-
Text: "Grow in grace, and in the
knowledge of our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ-"-II- Peter iii. 1S
We are expected to cultivate every
part of our being Physical culture and
mental culture must aways claim our
attention But above every other kind
of culture is soul culture, as the soul
Is the supreme part of our being. After
God made mans body out of the dust
of the ground he hreathed into him the
breath of life and he became a living
soul. 1t was Gods own nature which
He breathed into him, thus making him
a partaker of the divine nature.
But this divine nature was lost In
the transgression, and now it is neces-
sary that God shall do for fallen man
what He did for the first man. 70
breathe into his dead soul the life Of
God. Here Is the doctrine of regenern-
ton or the new birth, when we are
born of God. which consists in right
eousness and true holiness. Here is the
foundation of soul culture.
Ard here we call attention to the
provisions which God has made for our
advancement in the knowled &c and love
of God. First, we have the holy scrip
lures which are able to make US wise
unto salvation. This Book is lamp
to our feet and light to our path
Here Is set forth every duty which W

all along the bottom of the front, with
central piece extending up the front
to the belt. The central piece kept
the pocket from sagging, which it
would have done when work was put
inside of ii, if it were not for this sun
port. Another most attractive apron
noticed at French shop was in prln-
cess effect, the apron being tucked
down the front from below the bust
line to the hips. The apron was, of
course. in one piece. 1t was made
quite long. and had suspenders over
the shoulders. 1t was most becoming
to the figure.

The Plain Girl.

Plain girls, knowing ones say, make
the best wives. This is one of those
broad generali1ations which are lit
tie more than half-truths, but are not
whole truths. A better way to phrase
the rule would be to say that plain
girl is more likely than a pretty girl
to make q very satisfactory wife for
a man of intelligence
Good looks are more often a girls
misfortune than her fortune. A pretty
girl soon finds out that she can attract
men and usually she takes delight
in manifesting her powers. The vice
grows upon her and occupies much of
her thoughts. Her mind. under the
influence. is disposed to clothes and
friv0lity. She spends her hours before
the mirror instead of before her books
Alen pour silly batteries into her eager
ears. She is not aware that men make
compliments for sport and think moth
ing of such pretty perjuries. Adj
mirers make light of her faults or
transmute them into merits. Schooled
in adulation, it is small wonder that
the pretty girl in so many cases be-
comes conceited, silly, vain, and, in a
general way, lightheaded.
On the other hand, the plain girl is
driven TO make herself attractive for
more enduring qualities. She must
make accomplishments, intelligence
knowledge, take the place of beauty.
She develops in her character moral
strength. She makes the most of her
mental gifts. She learns 10 know
things and to 10 things. When a man
marries a girl merely for her pretty
face and figure he is sure to tire of her
unless she has mental and moral
charms TO support her physical
charms. When a man has been mar
ried five years he hardly knows
whether his wife is pretty or plain.
He knows ONLY whether she is dear to
him or not. And the qualities that en-
dure and endear are the interior quai-
tiles: fidelity, intelligence, true com

Learn to laugh. A good laugh is
better than a edicine.
Learn to attend strictly to your own
business very important point.
Learn to tell story. A well-told
story is as welcome as sunbeam In
a sick-roOm.
Learn the art of saying kind and
encouraging things, especially to the
young.
Learn to avoid all ill-natured re-
marks and everything calculated TO
create friction.
Learn to keep your troubles to your
self. The world is too busy to care for
your ills and sorrows.
Learn to stop grumbling. If you can
not see any good in the world, keep the
bad to yourself.

Dit for the Sick.

The most trying time for sick per-
son is between the hours of l and
a. m. Vitality becomes diminished,
and the strength should. therefore, be
fortified, as far as possible, and with
some strengthening food, such as soup,
or egg. or milk, about midnight, says
Woman's Life. Meals should be made
to look as tempting as possible, and
the tray should be taken away as soon
as the repast is finished. To leave I'M
tasted food by Il persons bedside in the
hope that it may be eaten later on is
simply enough to disgust the patient
with food altogether.

HE REBUFFED THE COLLECTOR.
Scared Him So that He Forgot TO
PrezGnf His RflI

Present His Bill.
Quick See that fellow?" exclaimed
the bill collector to a Kansas City Star
man. "'rhat burly-looking guy coming
out of the barber shop. He's a cross
between a coyote and grizzly bear +;
good at getting away, you know, and
bad man when he's cornered. He
runs a sort of miscellaneous business;
in east bottoms. l know him we'll
very we'll. His names Spregg.
"He got US in for small amount
and the boss told me to try my luck.
So | mOoched out there for several
days and had long heart-to-heart talks
with a diminutive Office boy, but the
boss of the dump never came near. The
kid said he was out collecting his bad
bills.
well. for the first few days." con-
tinuel the collector, IT didn't mind my
stun wcrk in the east bottoms, but
when you keep a thing up forever, and
still nothing in sight, it is quite vexing,
you know. The Office boy informed me
that Mr.. Spregg wasn't having much
luck with his collections. Encourag-
ing, wasn't it?
But perseverance always counts, you
know. and finally caught my man. I
was pretty sore by this time, and de-
cided to unload on him. The Office kid
opened the boss door and gave me a
gentle push. My victim was squatted
on a cracker box, mumbling up col
umn Of figures-his bad bills, l guess.
His back looked me IN the face-one
of those square, mean-looking backs.
"Oh, was going to say a lot of
things, but didn't get the chance. fof
just then Mr.. Spregg reached In his
desk and pulled out a horse pistol, and
then he hitched arouad ON his box and
glared at me. He didn't point the pis-
toll at me-he just monkeyed with the
trigger.
"'Are you the fool collector from
Brown & Cor he inquired, casually.
"'Er-could you please direct me to
Helms park?' was all said"
