of the pretty Miss Roby who after

IDENTITY had a strong liking for the fu-
ture emancipation. This. however. did
not prevent her from writing Of him in
her diary as follows:

In after years Mrs. Gentry wrote to
one of LinColn's friends as follows: Il

The phenomenon of weeping trees
that is, of trees shedding drops of
liquid is ascribed by DR.. Sharp in the
Cambridge Natural History to the in
fluence of plant bugs. The familiar
frog-hopper which produces the So
called cuckoo-spit on SO many of our
plants belongs to this family of in
sects. A note in the Field calls atten-
ton to some interesting observations
on this subject made by DR.. AMMAN
dale, and contributed by him to the
records of the Indian Museum. DR. An
Mandate. while collecting insects in
Western Bengal, felt what he thought
was rain from a clear sky through the
foliage of the trees. On investigation
he found that it fell from the leaves,
and was due to a species of plant bug
present in enormous numbers.

his southern friend he was hurrying to

the crowd and ran back in great ex-

The southerner couldn't explain, but

The young negro laughed. NOW.

How often do you

FOR MORNING WEAR.

A short time ago there appeared in
the columns of one of the prominent
magazines an article on building brain
and muscle by the proper selection of
the foods you eat.
A good many people were surprised
to find oatmeal placed at the top of the
list of foods recommended; but if the
article had appeared in an English or
Scotch paper every reader would have
expected to see first place given to
good oatmeal.
AS matter of fact Great Britain
and Europe come to us for tremendous
Quantities of Quaker Oats because it
represents to them perfect food, being
the richest in flavor and best in clean
illness and purity, of all oatmeals.
Americans should eat more Quaker
Oats; the results would soon show
themselves in improved conditions of
health and strength. IS
