In the window Of a florist stood some
quaint china bowls, In each OF which
grew tree-not q shrub, but full
sized tree, dating back many years.
"Yes," replied the florlSt to the writ

done to concentrate the life Of the

Here are number of don'ts for
smokers. some Of which no doubt will
surprise a good many men: Don't
smoke directly after meal. There Is
the most Irresistible craving to smoke,
but 1t Is wiser to walt half hour or
an hour. Don't smoke out Of doors
in high wind or in cold, frosty
weather. In the former case 1t is dan
gerous, and In the latter 1t cracks the
lips and prevents proper breathing.
Don't smoke with the cigar or pipe
held Mt the corner of the mouth. This
excites the secretion Of more saliva
than when the cigar or pipe is held
straight in front. And, above oil,
don't get in the bad habit Of expecto-
rating frequently when smoking. 1t
Is quite unnecessary and merely hab-
1t and harmful.-St Louis PostDis'

incidentally It is interesting to note
that the skill which enables one to de.
tect a counterfeit comes not from a
study of eonnterfeits, but from a thor
ough and unconscious familiarity with
the genuine, II a man were pointed
out to you and you were told that some
day another who much resembled him
would try to impose upon you, you
would be pretty apt to fix his features
in your mind: you would not spend
any time looking at other people who
looked something like him. would you?
And the moment the impostor ap-
peared you would note that in this,
that or the other particular he failed

face and figure Just so it is in the
detection OF counterfeits. A skillful
teller in bank, counting money rap
idly. will involuntarily throw out a
note which in the slightest degree de-
parts from the well-known pattern
which is so strongly impressed on his
mental vision. That involuntary act
will nearly always prove to have been
justified, for the bill in 19 cases out Of
20 will prove to be a counterfeit. 1t is
because OF this fact that when a re-
quest is received from some one to
loan him a collection of counterfeits
for the instruction of his cashiers, he
is advised to have the young men
study the genuine carefully, and there
will be no trouble in detecting the had
notes. es.-National Magazine.
