Buried Trees Unearthed.

About seventy years ago, says the
Kennebec (Me.) Journal, millions Of
tons of earth, boulders and gravel
slid from the side of Mt. Katahdin
to Sourdnahunk stream, a distance
of seven miles, and damned the
stream, forming what is known to
West Branch lumbermen as Slide
dam. A repair crew Of the Great
Northern Paper Co. recently had oc-
casion to remove quantity of gravel
from this deposit. At depth of ten
feet they found the trunk of a spruce
tree bent like bow, the top held
down by boulder weighing many
tons. The trunk was sound, but the
bark and foliage had been removed
by the scraping the tree received
when the slide occurred. Another
large tree with the foliage intact was
found in the pit. The foliage when
first removed from the earth looked
fresh and green as if it had just been
removed from growing tree, but
faded somewhat in a few hours.

Ranches Are Disappearing.

The great 10000 and 5O,0O0-acre
ranches in the far Northwest are
disappearing under the invasion OF
the farmers, who are satisfied with
one or two hundred acres Of land
and who are making these little
patches remarkably productive. The
time is not very remote when ranches
will be unknown AMI when the coun-
try now monopolized by them will be
broken up into moderate sized farms.
The rise in value Of farming land Is
steady, and In few years land WHICH
for decade or two has had only a
nominal value, will command from
$40 to 500 per acre. One reason
for this breaking up OF ranch con-
ditions is that railroads have pene.
trated the ranches, and are affordine
an opportunity for the transportation
Of agricultural, horticultural and
dairy products to valuable markets
nearby and far away. The mining
developments constitute an important
factor II this progress.

Building of Fortified Wood.

A building at New England. Het-
finger County, N. D., is made of petri-
fed wood. The building belongs to
Charles Mead, rancher. It was
constructed for a residence but is no
longer used for that purpose 1t has
been used for private school the
last year. It stands on the edge of a
bluff at the foot of which runs the
Cannonball River. The various col
ors of the petrified wood glisten in
the sunshine. The wall is left I'M
pointed, thus exposing the uneven
projecting specimens of the wood that
have become, through natures mys-
ferrous influence, beautiful stones.
Here and there scattered over a
wide area on the Missouri slope are
groups of specimens, usually one or
two wagonloads in a place. But there
is field in the western part of Het-
finger County where these petrifac-
lions are thick over two or three
acres.-Glen Ullin Correspondence

DOES LOVE DEMORALIZE?

Love makes man or woman very
unsociable. The most cheerful man,
the most delightful type of woman as
companion is changed into a rather
taciturn and morose creature after
falling in love. Indeed, the average
sweethearting couple are as dull as
ditch water; any vivacity they pos
sessed seems to have disappeared.
They are listless when thrown into
the company of others; not only do
they look Ill at ease but assuredly
they feel uncomfortable, and they
make every one in their vicinity real
lie the fact, the consequence being
that sensible persons take good care
to avoid and shun them. and ulti-
mately they become isolated-and
that is exactly what they wants.

Train-Timinu Clock.

An electric clock, about three 1eet
IN diameter, has been set UP at the
departure end of the Tube station at
Picadilly.
The dial is divided into twelve
sections of one minute each, with
only one hand, and its purpose is to
show the motorman how long it is
since the preceding train left the sta
tion.
AS soon as train leaves the sta
ton the clock starts recording the
time, and continues until the next
train comes in. Immediately that
leaves, the single hand goes back to
the starting point and begins afresh.

THE MAKING OF A CHAMPION.

Some fellows call him "Scrubby" Je
Cause he's so short an small,
An hardly no meat on his bones,
An don't look strong at all;
But when we choose up sides to play
Baseball, an when we look
Around to see who's there that day,
He is the first one took.
Somebody throws a bat up and "
Somebody grabs it quick, "
And then you go hand over hand :
To see who gets first pick;
And then whoever gets first choice,
No matter who it is,
He looks around among the boys
And takes Scrub" Jones for his.
And so you go on till you choose 7.
Nine men apiece, and then
You hope to goodness you won't lose,
And throw the bat again
To see who has first "ins" and when
You find out which one wins,
He always takes his "outs" for then
1t gives him the last "ins."

Clarice is little changed, save that
her beauty is more matured; her tall,
graceful figure is more firmly set.
The dark eyes are as soft and luc-
trous as ever, tho pale complexion is
perhaps a shade warmer, but a sha-
dow of sadness is over all.
Beauchamp has been staying at
the Pines nearly a month. When he
first came he had not long left sick
bed, and was incapable of using any
exertion. But the genial Surrey air
has wrought wonders upon him. Each
day he is gaining strength.
And was 1t only the air? Was
there no other factor? Watch him
as he drinks in the silvery accents
of Clarice Wyndham's voice and the
yearning look in his eyes, that are
fastened upon her. In pause in the
reading she looks up and meets his
gaze. Her eyes fall instantly and a
deep blush suffuses her pale cheek.
Brief as was the flash it thrilled him
to the soul.
He glanced toward Mr.. Wyndham,
who was doing in his chair. Then
he whispered softly, "Clarice!"
And, as though there had been a
compelling magic in his voice, she
rose and. with hot, flushed cheeks,
advanced to his side.
"Clarice!" he whispered again,
taking her trembling hand in his
Dare say that love you? Dare I
ask you to be my wife?"
Was the declaration as unexpected
as 1t was abrupt Oh, no; his eyes
had uttered it long before. She was
waiting only for the word.
Their eyes met, and though she
made no audible reply, the next mo-
ment his arms were about her and
his lips pressed to hers.
Mr.. Wyndham awoke with a start,
stared amazedly for moment at
what he saw, then closed his eyes
again and gave warning cough.
When he looked up again Clarice
was gone. The two men regarded
each other, and there was something
in Mr.. Wyndham's face which ap-

messed this love passage.
Beauchamp said quietly, ''I have
asked Clarice to be my wife, Mr..
Wyndham. Does it meet with your
approval?"
There is not another man I know
to whom I would so heartily say
Yes" answered the father, rising
and grasping his hand.
THANK you!" said Beauchamp,
warmly returning his pressure. Then,
after a moments thought, while the
other resumed his seat, he said, do
you remember a conversation we had
upon this very spot just above five
years ago."
Wyndham, who was lighting Gig

JUDGED BY HER LETTERS.


Unless woman uses brains and
tact in her correspondence, she will
fail Of social success, one reads in the
Delineator. A young woman once
wrote letter of coincidence to a
widow whose husband had committed
suicide after defaulting. In the same
mail she sent letter to her own
own sister, in which she intended to
inclose sensational newspaper clip
ping on the subject. BY some fatal
mishap she put the clipping into the
wrong letter and set it to the widow
with her note Of sympathy The mis-
take was never forgotten or forgiven.
Letters Of coincidence are particu-
larly difficult to write. A calling
card inscribed with the words, with
sincerest sympathy" is an accepted
form which eliminates the possibility
of Earring note.
Appreciative acknowledgment of
an invitation or gift should be
made on the very day that it is re-
ceived; and if more than one gift
comes, as at Christmastide, each note
must be so distinctive in it's mention
of the gift as to remove any suspicion
that one form of letter is being made
to work overtime. The bride who
words her note of thanks so vaguely
that she can copy it over for Aunt
Eliza's embroidered centerpiece and
Uncle Johns piano, and the lamp
from her Sunday-sehool class, is
breaking one of the important can
Ons of etiquette.
The courteous woman must not fail
to write to her hostess within twenty
four hours after her return from a
visit. This "bread and butter letter."
sometimes known as the ''roofer,"
should carry an atmosphere of appre-
citation of the delights of the visit,
and messages to any friends who
have helped to make the visitors stay
a pleasant one.

ODD OPPOSITION BY DOCTORS.
Beauty doctors in London, who are
foes of the cart-wheel hat on the
ground it ruins the figure and ulti-
mately the face of its wearer, seem
to have found another argument to
strengthen their crusade. 1t is fatal
to good looks, they say, to ride all
crunched up in carriages. as one must
ride to save the tent-like construction
from being pushed forward. If one
will wear such thing, better walk.
Watch the modern woman in a han
som cab, omnibus or private car
riage," one Of these specialists rays.
To sit in hanson in comfort she
would be obliged to put the feather
OF her hat out of one window, the
bunch Of flowers out of the other,
and bow of ribbon through the
trap door in the roof. AS she is not
permitted to do this, she sits crunched
up, her shoulders huddled, her neck
bent and that expression of patient
resignation on her face which is the
forerunner of wrinkles" If that be
so. why are the beauty doctors OPP
posed to producers of wrinkles? The
more wrinkles there are on faces the
more money the beauty doctors
make.

BATHING.

Cleanliness is next to Goodness,
and it is likewise essential to health.
There is no apology for filth, and
filth breeds disease. Germs do not
like cleanliness and they almost ex-
ert themselves to avoid it, so to keep
clean is essential. Every child
should receive. either sponge or a
tub bath each day. The skin con-
tains small glands, which should con-
stantly carry off the poisons which
collect within us. When the skin is
dirty, these glands do not act, and
these poisons are retained and give
rise to i'll health. Bathing keeps
their ducts open, stimulates their ac-
tion and thus aids in the process of
elimination, thereby improving the
nutrition. It is EVIDENT, therefore,
that the idea that frequent bathing in
the winter months is dangerous is
wrong. National Congress Of Moth
