growing straight. there being no indica-
tons whatever of an injury. This faculty
Of celebrating wounds is not possessed by
all trees however, for some, like the
maple, will retain the curving of the
grain over the spot where the injury was.
Sometimes this marking of an old In
jury is perpetuated for years. 1t is this
faculty together with the naples (usu-
ally the red maple, but sometimes the
hard mapleD ability to produce many adj
ventitiOus buds. that makes II valuable
cabinet wood. The adventitiOus buds pro-
duce the sprouts on the trunk. Some Of
these sprouts will persist. but making
little growth for a long time, while others
live only Il short time. Just AS soon as
one of these starts growing, the grain of
the wood of the trunk grows around II,
while the branch or sprout grows out
through the bark. II is not necessary for
them to show outside of the bark: many
of them make but little growth and never
produce a green leaf. 1t is these sprouts,
the grain of which runs the other way
uhey are seen in cross section), that make
the '.eyes' in the bird's-eye maple.
Sometimes the trees which have this
popularity can be easily told by the
sprouts. but others cannot: although some
lumbermen claim to be able TO always tell
a bird's-eye maple.
If a log of this wood We're cut by q
saw in the usual way, there would be a
great waste. for the boards would not
bring nearly so much when cut into
veneer for covering inferior grades OF
wood.
To cut the veneer. special machines have
been made into which a whole log is put:
the log is made to revolve on its axis
against sharp knife that cuts on a
very thin slice. usually about one-six-
teenth of an inch: but it can be cut az
thin as thin piece of paper. This meth
cd of cutting not only produces more
square feet of lumber. which Is used for
covering furniture, but 1t brings out tho
popularity of the wood to the best adj
vantage.

Mistletoe a Race Perpetuator.

1.-The botany of ancient Wales is ex-
ceedingly interesting continued Mr.. Well
come. 'It is full Of quaint conceits and
curious notions. Pliny discusses them,
and SAYS the Druids held nothing so
sacred as the mistletoe that grew upon
oaks He says, They make choice of oak
groves in preference to all others. and
perform no rites without oak leaves.
The mistletoe was known to them as the
air plant and the 'all-healing plant and
was regarded as an important factor In
perpetuating and increasing the race.
1.-The hedge hyssop was also highly es-
teemed and was specific for diseases OF
the eye. It was gathered with the great
est care and much ceremony. and was
never touched with the bare hand. The
ivy and the holly were both sacred. The
properties of the poppy were known In the
very earliest times. and physicians boiled
the flower In ale or wine as remedy for
insomnia. The birch was used for pur-
poses of discipline, as IL was in the New
England schools not 80 very long ago.
Welsh mothers still use birch rods to
chastise their children. The mountain ash
was planted around the houses to protect
them from evil spirits, just as 1t is In
Italy today. Whether the practice was
carried from Wales to Italy or vice versa
is not known. The acorn was the emblem
of fecundity, and the marsh wort wnich
was called gwlydd, was SPECIFIC Tor DIS

Ferrcts for Rata.

A correspondent OF a London pa
per, commenting on the crusade
against rats In Great Britain, says:
1.-The real remedy against rats Is the
ferret. Not the unhealthy ferret kept
by the half-starved rat catcher OF the
agricultural village, but the strong,
healthy ferret. bred on the ground
floor of a well ventilated, commodious
dog kennel, and there kept on skim
milk, table refuse and small birds.
Bedded with clean wheat straw, the
ferret is one of the sweetest animals,
and the expert goes into the kennels
and cheers them as though in kennel
OF hounds, and they crawl about ohim
harmlessly. The young bucks will run
miles across the country with the ex-
pert, Just like little terriers. With
this healthy life they grow too big for
hunting rats in barns or other build
ings, but they can settle any rat in a
wheat stack IL put In before the rat
has made a labyrinth inside the stack.
The doe ferrets will rout the buildings,
and they alone should be. the chief
instrument In the crusade. The rat
Is too cunning for guns. traps and 9TH
