Oldest dragon tree known in the
island was that at Orotava, which was
at least six thousand years old--some
botanists say ten thousand! 1t was
about sixty feet high, with a trunk
forty-eight feet in circumference at
the base The ancient inhabitants of
the island the Guanchos, performed
their religious rites in its hollow
trunk, In 1867 the upper part of the
tree was broken off during a storm,
and, though every effort was made
to preserve the remainder, it grad
ually decayed, and there is now no
trace of it left The sap of the tree,
resinous substance like dark trea-

Divorce Statistics by States.

I'm 1900 North Dakota had an an
nual average rate of but 26S per 1OO,-
600 married population, whereas
Kansas reached 2S6, Missouri 2S1,
and Illinois 267. In the same year
South Dakota had rate of but 270;
colonization, actually achieved rate
of 355, the highest east of the Missis-
sippi. Yet even Indiana is outclassed
in the South and West; 391 is the
figure for Texas; 999 that for Arizo-
ma; while Washington reaches the
highest mark of all, with a rate of
513, closely followed by Montana with
400 and by Colorado with 400.
The best showing is made by the
States of the North Atlantic division !;
yet, on the same basis of 100000 mar
ried population, between 1890 and
1900 the average annual rate for the
nine States of this group taken to-
gether advanced from 81 to 100.
Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode
Island show an astonishing accelera-
ton in the movement during this dec
ade; Massachusetts,, like New York,
New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, does
much better; while Connecticut, with
a rate of 1870 in 1900 as compared
with III in 1890, has the high honor
of being the only commonwealth in
the Union for so long period to
check the rise of divorce. However,
if we take the general rather than the
married population as the basis and
compare the figures for 1880 with
those for 1900, Utah must be accord
ed share in that credit; for in the
twenty years her rate sank from ia
to 92 in the hundred thousand, the
latter also being precisely the ratio
for 1S7O.-George Elliott Howard, in

total collapse because of her thought

own wants.
Collier says:
Christmas is no Joy to employees in
department store. In the terrible
preceding fortnight, many girl, des-
perate with fatigue, wildly wishes the
strain of life were past. Not for her
the calm of the silent night, when
angels sang to shepherds, and peace
and good will were the burden of the
song. After tired days, come even
ings still filled with long standing,

A young boy of fifteen was kept on
wagon delivering packages until
o'clock at night. Reaching the stable,
too worn out to travel home, he curl
ed up in the wagon, pulled blanket
hastily about him, and fell into sleep
from which he never woke. In the
Christmas Eve of 1908, in at least one
big town, large delivery wagons were
seen loaded, at IL p. M, and about
to start, not, assuredly, to relieve dis
tress, but to add complexity to the
Christmas of those already overfed
and overlooked and bored with null
titudes of gifts. Stop crowding your
wealthy friends with presents and
spend your money on the poor. II
that step seems too sudden, at least
shop early enough to prevent the day
from being the climax of distress for
so many families in shop, in factory
and in home. Follow these wise sug-
gestions of the Consumers League:
l. Buy early in the season and
early in the day.
2. Send packages two weeks ahead

8. Minister to actual needs. Give
chiefly to children.
4. Choose presents having either
usefulness or beauty.
5. Demand articles which have beer
made and sold under conditions fail
and wholesome to the worker.
6. Remember that Christmas is o.
noble memory, not an occasion fol
display.

and ends in a mass of rosettes little

flowers, that is, ribbon so looped as
to resemble flowers, constitute an
other smart trimming for these hats.
Beaver, or felt, hats could not be
made at home, but obtaining frame,

of material matching the coat or suit.
This material would do nicely for the

brim and the crown must be covered
separately, the Jennings being conceal
ed by the trimmings.
The tricone so popular for grown
ups, is another shape that is quite
suited to small folks. Hats of this
style may be had in felt and in beav-
ed of different trimming, a simple
ribbon chou or rosette being quite
sufficient on many. One seen recent
ly has the upper side of the brim of
chamois. The sole trimming is a
strip OF chamois stretched from the
brim to the crown. At each point of
the strap is a large button. The strap
serves as a trimming and also keeps
the brim tilted at the proper angle,

From Poverty to Peach Kirg.
(The Bookkeeper


Down in the State of Georgia they
have peach orchards where one can
walk mile in a straight line and not
get beyond the end of row of peach
trees. After the Civil War anyone
could go through the same country
and see nothing but cornfelds. Now
more peaches are produced on the
Georgia soil than in any other portion
OF the United States, with the posi-
BILE exception of California. This
revolution in horticulture was
brought about by a Connecticut Yam
kee. j. H. Hale as a boy began his
start in life by carrying fruit and
truck in baskets to Hartford, Conn,
and selling it from house to house =.
He finally accumulated enough money
to plant little orchard of his own
in the suburbs of Hartford on ground
that people said was unfit for any
crop. Hale thought differently and
when his orchard grew from an acre
to over hundred acres and his in
come from the peaches to thousands
OF dollars year, they realized that
they had been mistaken.

Fashions and Fads.

Younger girls still cling to the
Windsor tie.
More and more wide ribbon is be-
ing used on hats.
There are fewer suede slippers and
more of satin.
Paris predicts still larger hats for
theatre wear.
Fur hats are growing larger as the
season advances.
Black satin revers and cuffs are to
remain in style.
Ermine stoles and muffs for even
ing are soft and fiat
The all-black toilette is the reign
ing favorite in Paris.
Chiffon is lavishly used for after
noon and evening blouses.
The shawl effect is simulated in
many of the new fur pieces.
The newest muffs are round with
stiff-fiuted sides of satin.
Mules for wear in the bedroom
Mouse gray chiffon cloth promises
to be popular for evening wear.
The latest demand of fashion is
that the muff shall match the hat.
Never was the simple little after
noon gown in higher favor than now.
The muddy-toned colors of last
season are little seen in present
styles.
Hatpins with ball-shaped tops of
gun-metal are to be had in several
sizes.
Fichus and shawl draperies are
seen on many of the handsome even
ing frocks.
Ceckades of silver, gold or scarlet
are seen on many of the tri-corners
this fall.
Heavy serge and the old-fashioned
poplins are exceedingly smart for
tailored suits.
The fashionable stationery is in
soft shades with hemstitched borders
of white.
Greater freedom is allowed in
present arrangements of draperies
than ever before.
Wings and ears made of ribbon are
among the trimmings to be used on
winter millinery.
Fichus or the fichu effect will be
characteristic of many gown this
season.

Dance forbidden by Uncle Sam.
Middlebury, Nov. 20.

Fiercest of all the wild orgies of
the aborigines of North America is
the fiesta which eliminates in the
fire-dance of the Saboba Indians, a
small tribe living close to the Sierra
Madre range of mountains, which
walls off the seacoast of California
from the desert.
Up to last year, when the Indian
Bureau of the United States govern
ment finally forbade the holding of
these fiestas, the Sabobs had gathered
San Jacinto to sing, dance and gam
BILE, and finally to throw themselves
into pit of fiery Goals, rool over
and over on the burning bed, and
then dance with bare feet on the red
hot floor of the pit.
With the passing of the Saboba
fiesta has gone out and was, per-
haps the strangest and weirdest gath
ering white men have ever seen. Ev-
en- the potlatches of the Chilkat In
dams of Alaska are tame affairs
compared to the fire-dances of the
Sabobas. There is a Saboba Indian
reservation at the base of the historic
mountain named above. From it
there went forth to their homes in
the desert, at the end of the last
fiesta, bands of Yumas, Cocopahs,
Northern Yaquis, and Moapas-mere
remnants of the tribes which once
densely populated all the region not
known to the white men of the West
as the desert. From THE Last
Dance of the Sabobas,' in the Deem
