DoutZalS.

Few shrubs excel the deutzia for
snowy blossoms in the early summer.
The flower clusters are usually white,
displayed prominently and with profuSc
prod igaiity. springing from the young
wood Of the previous years growth.
The flowers do not last long when cut
but their snowy effect with gracefully
arching sprays is well worth enjoying
Most Of the species respond readily To
cultivation in any fairly good soil, when
ii is well drained. Many of the best
kinds are hardy even in the New Eng
land states.
Deutzias should be pruned any time
after the leaves have fallen in the late
fall or during the winter. The young
wood of the previous years growth must
not be cut back but the old Towering
sprays should be removed and weak
Spndling wood and decrepit branches
cut out. The plants appear to he re-
markably free from the attacks of IN
sect pests.
Deutzia gracilis. a native of Japan,
is a low neat growing shrub seldom over
two feet and a half high with branches
slightly archng from which panicles Of
white blossoms are anundantly produced.
1t comes into bloom the first week III
June. II is well adapted Tor planting in
the foreground of tall shrubs of similar
habit and for masSiug and grouping at
the foundations of buildings where tall
shrubs cannot be used. This is one of
the easiest shrubs to force into bloom IN
a greenhouse.
Deutzia parvanora is native of
northern China and the AmOOr country
1t is perhaps one Of the hardest species
and comes into bloom Il week or so att
er the graciliS.

Pipe Buried in Tree Trunk.

The other day George RaImey and
George Brann of Passadumkeag were
saving into stovewood large elm tree
that stood near the old hotel. when their
saw encountered something hard in the
cut. They kept saving wood. however,
until they had the stick cut off. and then
investigated and found n clay pipe i'm
hcddcd in the very center of the tree.
The pipe was in a perfect state of pres
crvation and filled with tobacco. the
same a. when 1t was left there. Expla-
nations We're rife as to the presence of
the pipe in the center of the tree. but
the most plausible one was given by one
Of the old residents. He said that some
forty years ago some devil driver got
after n yoke of oxen in that town and
ran over this tree, and, it being small
at that time. bent it 10 the ground.
About this time he thinks that some one
used the bent tree for a pipe rack and
then forgot to remove the pipe. and the
tree after many years grew around the
pipe until it was in the very center of
the tree.--kcnnebec Journal.

EGG-SHAPED HEADS.
Fashionable in the New Hebrides-How
Thew Are Secured


The ecg-shaped heads Of some of the
natives of Malekula, in the New
Hebrides, We're once thought to be natur-
ally conical. For that reason scientific
men decided that the Malekulans were in
the lowest rang of the human ladder.
Later it was found that the conical
heads were produced as the Chinese
women distorted their feet, by binding
them in infancy. The egg-shaped head
is still fashionable in Malekula, where
some extraordinary results are achieved
\ conical head retreats from the fore
head IN such Il manner that one is
amazed to know the owner of this re-
markable profile preserves his or her
proper senses, such as they are. could
not hear, however. that the custom was
supposed to affect the intellect i'll any
way.
The conical shape is produced by wind
ing strong Snnet cord spiraily about the
heads of young babies and tightening thS
coils from time 10 time. y piece 81
plated mat is first put on the head ana
the cord is coiled over this, so as to give
it a good purchase. The crown OF the
head is left t. develop in the upward
and backward fashion that is 50 much
admired.

much from the process. The child | saw

it to me quite proudly, pointing out the

She had normally shaped head her
self, and it seemed that she had suffered
by her parents neglect of this important
matter, for she was married to a man
who was of no particular account. y
Young girl who was standing beside her
had evidently had a more careful moth

shaped. 1t is interesting to know that

the diseased portion Of the ear. There Is
only one way TO cure deafness, and that Is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the mu-

this tube is infiamcd you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when II is
entirely closed. Deafness Is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton. hearing will be destroyed forever nine

If the Sun Were Blue.

If the sun were blue there would be
only two colors in the world, blue and
black; or if it were red, everything would
lie red and black. In the latter case
there would be red snow, red lilies, black
grass, a black clear sky and red clouds.
There would be a little variety. however,
f the sun were green. Things that are
now yellow. would still remain thar col
