Scene of Deadly Struggles.

1t is doubtful If there is any portion
Of the earth upon which there are so
many deadly struggles as upon the
earth around the trunk of a tree. Up
on this small arena there are struggles
fierce and wild; here nature is red
in tooth and claw" When a tree is
small and tender, countless insects
come to feed upon it. Birds come to
it to devour these insects. Around
the tree daily are almost merciless
struggles for existence. These death
struggles occur not only in the day
time, but in the night. Mice, rats and
rabbits destroy millions of young
trees. While at their deadly feast,
many time have they been surprised
by hawks, and then they are at a
banquet where they themselves are
eaten. The owl, the faithful night
Waterman of trees, often swoops down
at night, and as a result some little
tree is splashed with the blood of the
animal that came to feed upon it

A Channn for the Better,

Miss Lillian B. Hill, the advertising
expert, said at clothiers' banquet in
Grand Rapids:
4 am glad you clothiers now adver-
tfse, now print pictures of mems and
boys fashions. Thus you smarter up
the country, and you help to abolish
the cutting-down of the fathers clothes
for the son.
You have educated our little boys
to dress and few of them could bear
to wear now their fathers garments
made over by their mothers awkward
hands.
1t was not always so. remember
how, in the distant past, my little
brother rushed whimpering into my
room one night.
"'oh, dear, he whined, pas had his
beard shaved off, and now l guess
I've got to wear the old red thing!"

It is interesting to look back over the
pages Of history and see what things
we're at one time considered necessi-

it was considered highly improper for
a man to appear without his hair pow
dered, so Pitt put tax on the powder,
the guinea pig tax as 1t was called. In
consequence, the Wings cut of their
queues and only men servants were
allowed hair powder. 1t was finally so
unremunerative that the tax was re.
moved.

you.
IAN acre is s,272,640 square inches.
An inch Of water on an acre is there
fore 6,272,640 cubic inches. That
amount. at 227 cubic inches to the
gallon. equals $4,000 gallons, or 22O,.
900 pounds, OF 100 tons.

rain falling at the rate OF 1G0 tons

Away with Clothes.

II one takes somewhat broader
and less technical view of the menac.
ing conditions disclosed by the London
Lancets series of exposes, and is
large-minded enough to appreciate
the essential artiflcialty of the
whole modern scheme of clothes, there
seems but one logical conclusion from
the premises, viz, clothes must go or
the human race will be devoured and
exterminated by microbes. The con.
veniences of the household, from
scrubbing brush to the grand piano,
are nothing more nor less than germ
traps. From kitchen to drawing room
and garnet the house is alive with
microscopic brigands. Hence, houses
must be given up also. And it thus
appears that science as we'll as social.
ism urges a return to the misnamed
days of barbarism toward which the
back to nature" folk look so long
ingly.
