TREES RESTING TIME.
The Evergreen in Winter-Tropical
Plants in Dry Season.

What we call evergreens," says gen.
tleman formerly connected with the park
department of st. Louis. are not eally
green during the winter, nor are they
really alive but are dormant.
Every plant must have its period OF
rest at some time in the year, and in oug
northern ATTITUDES the winter is, OF
course, the most appropriate season. The
evergreens generally retain the greater
part of their foliage during the winter,
but close examination shows that il
dries to such an extent as to be really
dead. and a large part of it falls off
when the plants begin their spring
growth. The drying IS not peculiar to
tn, foliage The branches and stem be
almost entirely devoid of moisture are
little damaged by the winters cold.
in some parts of the tropics, however.
as in the highlands of southern Mexico
aud Central America. the summer is the
resting time of the trees. The intense
heat of the sun dries up the earth. the
trees drop their leaves, the woody por-
tions become as dry as cur evergreenS
in winter, and the tree takes its rest
until the autumn rains begin.
''Of course this rule does not apply to
a urge number OF tropical plants which
c.ew in moist jungles or swampy places.
Ttey have accustomed the uselveS 20
.heir conditions, but even they still re-
fair the resting habit. and at some tim p
of the year relax in their grow Ing ana

circumstances win permit. - 81. Louis

THE TRUTH ABOUT MEDIUMS.
Perfectly Healthy People Often Possess
Abnormal Powers.

Il have had good deal of experience
with mediums. and I've come 10 the CON
clusion that they all start with at least
some small basis of abnormal power.
Is it not rather suggestive that the num-
Der of practicing mediums does not ma
terially increase? If it were mere mat
ter of deception, would there not be
thousands at the trade? As a matter of
fact, there are not fifty advertising me-
diums in New York at this moment
though of course the number is kept
down by the feeling that it is bit dis
reputable to acknowledge possession of
these powers.
There are nice ones. My own moth
err had this power in her youth. so my
father tells me. Her people We're living
IN Wisconsin at the time, and the set
tiers from many miles around came to
see her perform An uncle, when a boy
Of four, did automatic writing, and an
aunt recently wrote to me in relation TO

that for two years beginning when she
