entirely too wet to work and it will

An enthusiastic automobilist who
lives in Philadelphia had it in mind to
tour through southern New England,
and wished to make a stay of several
days in one Of the most interesting of
the old towns along the Massachusetts,
coast. He was not certain that the
town contained accommodations for
storing his car, and accordingly he
wrote the postmaster to ask whether
there were any garages there. In a
few days he received this reply:

was 90 when he died. Her father and
mother also lived long. The reason for
this, they say at the home, is simple.
The family for more than 300 years
has owned a string Of amber beads.
Very common beads they are to look
at, giving to the unframed eye no hint
Of their power. Always the eldest
daughter Of the house has worn the
necklace, and while she wore it death
was warded Off The beads were pos
sessed Of marvellous healing powers
and circulated as freely among the
children of the east side who had the
whooping cough or the measles as gen.
erations ago they did between the huts
Of q Russian village.
On Sunday, when her daughter, Mrs.
Fannie Kowner of So East Goth street,
visited the old woman, the beads were
given to her.
'"Take them" said the mother, "for
it is not well that I should bear them
longer"
Then she talked Of the beads. which
never before had left her neck for
more than twenty-four hours.

Hard. fine grained, durable wood u.s.
ually grows slowly. A most remark
able exception is the eucalyptus, and
this it is which gives the tree its great
value as a means Of reforestation. II
is said that it grows five times as rap
idly rs any other tree. Seedlings have
been observed to make an average
growth Of six inches in height a day
and one tree in California has attained
a height of one hundred and twenty
five feet and a diameter of thirty-six
inches in nine years. The eucalyptus
will not thrive where there are frosts,
but in the South it promises to go a
long way toward filing the place once
occupied by other hardwoods. which
have been greatly reduced by demands
for furniture, carriage and cooperage
stock.
