THE STRANGLING FIG.
a Curious Tropical Tree That Lives
Upon Other Trees.

Upon other Trees.
Visitors to Mexico and other tropical
countries often have their attention
called to 'the strangling fg"-a tree
that commences it's growth as an cpl
phyte-that is, one 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 OF
some of the kinds of palms. The roots
of the strangling tree extend down
ward around the host tree to the
ground, gradually joining together,
making tubelike mass of roots some
times as much as six feet or more in
diameter.
When the attacked tree is a palm
death to it is caused not so much by the
binding around the trunk as by shad
ing out its branches by the attacking
tree.
When the attacked tree is an exOgeI
that is, one with wood and bark-tht
attacking roots bind so tightly as tt
cause a stoppage of the flow of the sap
As the sap of a tree is really it's foot
changed by the leaves so that it car
be used and the flow of the food il
thus stopped, the attacked tree is real
ly starved" to death. So death to th'
attacked tree is caused either b!
smothering or by starvation or by both
The peculiar manner in which til,
| f1attened roots extend down and arounC
the tree give them the appearance o
some thick, slow flowing material run
ming down the tree.-St. Nicholas.

to appear at her best all me time.

AmeRlcus NEEDS MORE HOUSES
People Coming Here will Demand
Shelter.

What is Americas going to do with
the people who will soon come crowd
ing here, either seeking employment
upon buildings and enterprises to be
erected, or seeking a place of residence
for educational or business purposes.
Already rents are away up, and
while several hundred dwellings have
been erected within the past year or
two the demand is far more, In addi-
ton to these, private parties are build
ing small houses in the city and
suburbs in order to supply the increas-
ing demands. There has been a steady
advance in rents during the past few
months, which fact has encouraged
property owners to build more houses,
Notwithstanding the fact that lumber
is high and good material hard to get
in this section.

She keeps water pipes clear by dis

she pours the mixture into the waste
pipe Of the sink. During the night the

current of water turned on in the
morning will wash it away and the
pipe will be as clear as new.

Sendinu Linen to Laundry.

Here are a few good rules for send.
ing linen to the laundry: All articles
should be leglbly marked with full
name In either cotton or ink. Mark
plainly where the letters will show
when the piece is folded or freshly
troned clothes will be tumbled in the
search for the distinguishing sign.
Look in pockets carefully before send
ing clothes off. Turn socks and stock
ings inside out For the sake of COM
mon humanity, be sure that no pins re-
main anywhere. Use rust proof hooks
and eyes. Mend clothes before send
ing or they will come back in much
worse condition. Tie handkerchiefs in
bundle by themselves. Take off all
buckles and detachable buttons and
even any very valuable buttons al
ready sewed on.

the car buffet or station, it Is not safe
to give this to baby, for his regular
routine must be broken as little as
possible If he is to be kept quiet and
healthy. 1t is well that a child who
is to travel should have some of the
food to be eaten on the trip given to
him for at least a week brfare the
journey, SO that he will be accustomed
to it and not made sick by the change
at such time.
Of course, if he has been taking
modified milk or other prepared foods
the same thing may be continued
Modified milk may be sterilized as
usual before the journey.
1t Is generally safe In a sleeper to
rely upon the porter to keep the bot
ties Of food on ice where they will be
sweet. While there are most conven-
lent little travelling baskets now, with
ice compartments, these are nuisance
and to be left behind when possible. A
little alcohol lamp must be carried to
heat the food to proper temperature.
1t Is well when possible to have this
food in bottles that may be thrown
away after using, thus reducing ones
hand luggage.
Pure milk will keep a long time
long enough for a journey across the
continent-if it Is properly prepared.
The process consists in rapid chilling
after sterilizing and putting into ster-
ilized and sealed jars. This, If put on
ice and kept there, should be sweet
for five or six days.
It is never safe to start away with
baby for journey Of any length
without taking an enema bag, for it
may be needed.
A great saving in hand luggage, al
ways nuisance at best, may be made
by substituting old linen for diapers
when travelling All old soft table
linen should be saved for this purpose,
and cut into pieces Of the usual size.
No infant should be allowed to use
the blankets provided in a sleeping
car. He should always have his own
if he is to sleep through a night, thus
saving him from chance Of con-
tagion.
