Trees Planted by Insects.

The uses of worms In wood and

Andrews. 1t has long been known
that squirrels aid the forester by
burying nuts, of which some sprout
and ultimately develop into trees, but
that also he is indebted to earth
worms for like services is knowledge
new. 1t appears that the dry fla,
fruits of the silver maple are frequent
ly used by worms to plug the aper
lures OF their burrows in the fashion
long since described by Darwin. In
districts too dry for them to GERM
nate under ordinary conditions a Ger
tain proportion of maple seeds thus
drawn into their holes by the worms
were found to sprout and grow into
seedlings, and, although these ulti
mately persisted under the influence
OF the late summer drought, Mr.. An.
drews thinks that under less unfavor.
able conditions certain number
would survive. He believes that by
planting trees worms more than
amend the damage with which
they are credited through destroying
seedlings in the gardens.

Explorers Tell OF eeculiarities Of Queer
f.aee OF People.

Pygmies are climbers par excel

tree somehow. II there are conven-
lent vines he uses them, his big toes
serving as thumbs; II there are no
vines and the tree be thin, he grasps
IL with his hands and walks up; If the
tree be thick he grips with his legs
and rimbly works his way to the top.
The pygmy is a prayerful little man.
During a thunder storm he may be
heard imploring God to dispense 1t;
but If the storm only continues In vio-
fence he changes his entreaty to beg
protection from violence. Maj. Pow
ellCotton's gunbearer saw group OF
fygmies In the forest seated In wide
semi-circle, the men wearing their
Okapi belts and the women their
beads and all their finery. They were
busily eating round table in the cen
ter. Each pygmy carefully placed a
little packet of his particular provi-
sion on the table, which was soon
laden with a supply Of bananas, honey,

were changing camp and by this cere-
monial feast, invoked the supreme
spirit to give them good luck In their

Talented German Empress.

Empress Augusta Victoria Is thor.
oughly womanly woman, but she Is by no
means the mere hausfrau that she is
often supposed to be. In fact, she
has decidedly artistic tastes and is
a sculptor and painter of no mean
ability. In her husbands study at
Potsdam there is a lifelike bust of
the emperor In bronze and several
of her sons have been portrayed by
her In marble. Her majesty Is very
fond of beautiful fans and she has
some valuable specimens of them.
Many were gifts from the emperor,
grouse that fell to his gun. Some
others, beautifully painted. bear the
signatures of great artists.

WHEN TROUSERS WERE pEcRleD
On Their First Appearance Many Con.
sidered Them lndecorous.

IL Is hard to think back to the days
when men did not wear trousers such
as now encase the limbs of all the
Inasculines one meets. Harder still to
believe that these garments were by
many considered immoral on their first
appearance, and that one of the most
numerous of all religious denomina.
lions for long while forbade its min
.sters appearing in the pulpit clothed
in apparel so frivolous.
II is a fact that trousers, introduced
by the duke Of Wellington, came in
slowly and were for a long time looked
upon as light-minded departure
from the serious and conventional in
mems dress.
And now, should any sober-minded
gentleman venture to lay these ubi-
quitous and ugly garments aside, and
prance down the street clad in the
brief knee-breeches and hose of his
progenitors, he would no doubt incur
the accusation Of being an indecorous
trifer.
So much has custom to do with our
sartorial morals.

Pastcurize the Milk.

Nathan Straus sends message to
American mothers to the effect that
raw milk is not good for children, the
scientific men of the world having
agreed upon the fact Milk should be
pasteurized and the mother can do this
herself in her own kitchen. The in
ternational congress at Brussels
warned against raw milk, because of
the danger from tuberculosis. 1t is
not the poor alone who need instruc-
ton upon the subject, as many of the
babies of the rich suffer from the eff
fects of raw milk, but Americans are
said to know more on the subject than
people of other countries.
