desired Mr.. Lockyer to take particu'

GERS as TO its nature and the amount
of duty chargeable on similar con-
signments in bulk. The Chinaman eX-
plained that dried lizard was a very
important item in the pharmacop3eia

al properties OF untold value. The
officers of the department were at a
loss TO know how to classify the arti'

New 12-Cent Stamp.

A new twelye-cent postage stamp is
to be provided by the Post Office De-
partment to meet the changed con-
djtions resulting from the increase OF
the fee for registering letters and
parcels from to 10 cents.
Acting Postmaster General stewart
has requested the Secretary OF the
Treasury to authorize the preparation
OF such.
The new stamp will ultimately re-
sult in the d.scontinuance OF the thlr'
teen cent stamp. The latter was cal
culated TO cover the cost of the eight
cent registry fee and the cents In
ternational postage rate. The fifteen
cent stamp will serve this purpose

creased from 5 to 10 cents. The
proposed twelve-cent registry fee and

This sent Mrs. Barrows after the

BY this time all the members were
in groups. All knew who gave that
vote; it was very easy to get into
the argument; each one was against
every other one in the room.

WHY THE BIG TREES ARE BIG.
Heavy Rainfall Gives Quick Germlna-
tion and Steady Growth.

The magnificent forests Of Douglas
fl in Washington-it Is called Wash
ington fir there and Oregon fr Uts
commercial name) in Oregon-do not
have an equal anywhere else in the
world This is not surprising II We
take into account the rainfall. which
In the Puget Sound country is about
fifty-th.ee inches, while up in the
higher Cascades near Seattle it is 100
inches and even reaches $50 inches.
Under such climatic conditions the
seeds of trees germinate readily and
all trees continue to make a vigorous
growth. These great forests, says
Horticulture, are due to the climatic
conditions OF the region.
On the east slope of the Cascades
the rainfall is much less and here the
bull pine is found, interspersed with
beautiful white pines, which some
times reaches a height of 200 feet and
a diameter OF feet. although there
are many trees over 100 feet high and
8 or feet in diameter. The tree re-
sembles our Eastern white pine, but
is more slender and with slender
spreading or somewhat dropping
branches.

IN doing good the angel on the right
