WAYS OF SOME TREES.
How Elms Make Hedges. and Berry Trees
Get Themselves Planted.

Trees which have their own individual
methods Of reproduction are interesting
The way Of the elm is one Of the most
remarkable. because the elm actually
makes hedges, or rather it fits in. with
our England methods Of bordering our
trees and roads with hedges, IN o very
accommodating way helps US with ma
teriai.
The habit 81 the elm is to send out
its roots in every direction and then to
push up suckers from its spreading
roots When an elm seeds Itself or is
planted in hedgerow and becomes es-
tablished there It sends cut its roots
and pushes up its suckers on all sides
ii It, but except on two sides the young
suckers get killed. they are trodden
down in the path or cut up by the
plough or gnawed down by grazing ani-
mails
But they flourish on each side Of the
elm in the direction in which the hedge
runs, and they kill out the other trees
in the hedge, till at last possibly the
hedge is al elm. Then if the hedge is
net cut or only partly cut the strong
est suckers grow up and become trees
themselves and carry on the process.
Other trees instead OF being killed
down by animals get helped and planted.
Squirrels carrying of hazelnuts and
burying them for private consumption
later, frequently forget where they put
them, and so plant countless hazels every
year. Trees with berries, such as h0I-
lies, wild roses, elders and yews, have
their seeds swallowed and carried about
in different directions by birds and from
the trees point Of view there must be
COED and bad seasons as regards the SOW
ing or planting. Last winter, for in.
stance, must have been poor season
ter holly planting, Birds do not
really like belly berries and will not eat
them when they can get other berries
or when the weather is warm and open,
50 that in a mild winter like the last,
comparatively few holly berries can
have been eaten and sown.
But the tree which occasionally gets
itself propagated ii the most interesting
way is the elder. w. Fl. Hudson in his
book "Afoot in England" has delight
full passage giving tile life story Of some
elders lie noticed growing on a Wiltshire
down. There was small group Of
them set among some rabbits burrows
and a local farmer told him how they
came there.
First, the rabbits, finding that the hill
had setter chalk at that spot, had made
burrows. Then some wheatears came
and nestled in and lived about the bur
rows. The wheatears fed on the berries
Of an elder growing higher up on the
down and 80 brought the seeds to the
burrows, where they rooted in the soft
ground and soon established a flourish
ing thicket.-From the Spectator.

Promissory Note Cause Of
the Outbreak.

Dallas, Tex, Aug l.--Adyices re.
ceived Saturday night stated that IS ne
goes are dead and several white men
are injured as result Of race riot
which has been in progress since Friday
night at sloeum, near Palestine.
Il is reported that a number Of ne.
groes are surrounded in a thicket, and
further bloodshed is anticipated.
The trouble seems to have been pre-
eipitated in a controversy over a note a
man named Afford had Endorsed for a
negro. The negro, when questioned
about the reason why be nad not paid
the note, cursed Afford and said no
white man could ador him. Fighting
between them began at once, and, others
being drawn into the affair, the trouble
continued throughout Friday night
Sheriff Black, with large posse Of
citizens, heavily armed, has gone TO slo-
cum. The situation is reported as very
serious, and the governor may be ap.
piled to for militia.
Many citizens not included in the
posse left Palestine yesterday and win
aid the whites.
The negroes, 1t is said, are organic
ing, and there are 200 armed negroes at
Dennison Springs, near Slocum, who are
reported to have expressed their inten.
tion Of cleaning OUT the entire white
community.
Austin advices are that rangers have
been FASTENED to the scene Of the race
trouble in Anderson county, and com
pany Of militia has been placed under
ordos for prompt movement.

II Gave Columbus the Idea For His
Voyage Of Discovery.
Medieval europe knew but very lit
tie Of eastern and northeastern Asia.
Many OF the most learned cosmogra-
piers Of the time taught that Asia
stretched eastward indefinitely, aud no
one Imagined that it had an eastern
coast washed BY the ocean. A. was xe-
riously taught that eastern Asia was a
land of vast swamps. inhabited by
monster sernents and dragons This
was the opinion that still prevailed up
to within 200 years of the time Of Co
lumbus.
At this time two Venetian merchants
Of the name Of Polo went on vast
trading expedition to the uttermost
parts Of Asia. They were gone many
years. Upon their return the son Of
one Of them. a young man named Mar
co Polo. wrote out full account Of
their travels. described the empire Of
the grand khan (the Chinese emperor)
and revealed the fact that Asia was
bounded on the east by a vast ocean.
He described this eastern coast Mi-
nuteIy. with all its vast cities and its
wealth Of precious stones and spices.
1t was from reading this book that
the imagination Of Columbus was fred,
and he conceived the bold idea Of
reaching this eastern coast OF Asia by
sailing toward the west around the
earth
So when he discovered Cuba he had
not doubt that he had landed upon
the coast Of Asia and thai Iie looked
upon the same scenes that REQ Polo
had gazed upon 200 years before.

Scents Scheme to Make All Iberia a Re-

the Throne Of Portugal, as
Well as That Of Spain.

Rome, Aug. Notwithstanding the
extremely strained relations between the
vatican and the Spanish government the
recall Of Marquis de ojeda, the Spanish
ambassador to the vatican, has produced
great sensation in Rome. The yati-
can says in a semi.ofiieial communion
ton that his recall proves that Premier
canaleias programme was not arranged
in the hope Of accord, but with de-
sire for a fght--and, the conmunics-
ton adds, he will have It.
The vatican officials are taking the
darkest view Of the situation. not only
in Spain but in Portugal They think
the extreme parties in both countries,
aided BY foreign elements, are trying
to overthrow both monarchies, in order
to unite the Iberian peninsula under
republican rule.
In Spain, Il is pointed out, there Is
the French Free Mason influence, and
besides the English Protestant influence
exercised over the king through the Bat
eubergs, who have established them.
selves at the Spanish court consequent
upon the kings marriage.
The vatican hopes that Don Jaime,
the Carlst pretender. who has threat
ened revolution, viii raise the Carlist
flag and yindieate Catholicism.
The vatican attacks Premier Canale-
jas. declaring that be premeditated a
rupture, as from the beginning Of the
differences he has on every possible oc-
casion taken two steps backward in the
negotiations for one that be has taken
forward. Indeed, since the negotiations
with the Holy See with reference % the
religious congregations began, the prem
Ter has taken the following steps an.
tagonistic to the vatican.
First, the issuing Of an unconstitu.
tional decree, fayoring nOn-catholie
creeds, thus violating the Coneordant
with the Holy See.
Second, the reproducing Of the decree
Of 1902 against the congregations, which
was never in force.
Third, the preparation o. the speech
from the throne, which contained hos
tile ana threatening expressions against
he church.
Fourth, the projected bill prohibiting
the institution Of religious hots.es.
This attitude Of the premier, the yati-
can says, shows that the Spanish gov
eminent had always aimed contrary 70
that accord which it pretended to desire.
The Holy See repeatedly asked that the
government take a different position,
pointing out that It would be impos-
sible to carry on negotiations efieatiye-
h when the second party showed such
hostility.
Premier Canalejas answered BY re-
calling the Spanish ambassador and this,
the vatican says, is clear confession
Of his true program, although he has
always said that he was obeying the
viii OF the country.
Cardinal Merry Del Val, the papal sec
rotary Of state, has been especially af-
fectsd BY the rupture with Spain. It
Is reported that he went TO the pope
and offered his resignation, which the
pontifl refused.

which might be more rightly called
bungle-O's. We see them bulging over
narrow frOntingS and shrinking to the
size Of a dolls house on spreading lawns;
but with proper environments there is
surely no more attractive style for the
moderate priced home than the unpreten-
tious, sturdy, artistic little bungalow. A
six-room bungalow recently put up had
as a background a sixty foot BLUM, while
it commanded a view Of a little valley be-
low that rose again gently into timbered
hills The piers OF the porch and walls
and chimney base we're of moss-covered
stones brought from the nearby bluff and
laid up In black mortar with recessed
joints so that the extremely rough face
was preserved. The outside walls were Of
narrow siding painted a light gray, the
trim being painted ivory white. The gable
panels were finished with fine screened
gravel and the porch floors as well as en-
trance and carriage steps were Of cement.
The roof shingles and the porch balus-
trade Of rough plank, were stained q soft
green. The interior finish Of the rooms
was in curly FIR, stained and waxed. In
the living room a simple fireplace had
built-in book cases on one side Of it and
a writing desk on the other. Loaded case

ment windows admitted the light above
the book case and the desk.
The prevailing interior woods Just now
seem to be almost universally a fumed
oak, in the soft finish, for the living rooms,
and white enamel for the bedrooms. When
the style OF the living room or drawing
room is carried out in colonial furnish
ings, white paint is considered the only
true colonial trim, but when the furnish
ings tend toward mission effects the dark
woods are used. In nothing so much as
wall decoration has the taste of q century
changed. Indeed we are prone to think
that the dingy, durable wall papers and
family portraits that ornamented the walls
OF our grsndfathers' houses, indicated NO
taste whatever. The walls of our lower
rooms are q harmony Of low, quiet tones,
with sometimes the introduction Of deco
rative border. or artistic stenciling. Plain
hanginge are used, and the portiers Of
tapestry or silk may have plush lining the
shade of the wall. Mahogany or English
oak, always in the dull finish, is favored
for furniture. Jacobean sets, or Circassian
walnut, with cane insets are especially
suitable for the dining room or the hall.
The doom Of the plate rail, with its con-
glomeration OF plates and odds and ends,
has been sounded. The nearest approach
to this abomination Is the wainscoted
room, having a finish for the wainscot in

be obtained when other building material
is used. From the cement jardiniers for
bay trees or decorative plants which may
now be bought as cheaply as two dollars,
one may enhance more elaborate grounds
with pergolas. and lily ponds and bathing
tanks whose curbing and surrounding
benches are Of concrete.
Houses built of hollow tile have the ad
vantage Of being affected to the minimum
extent by changes in the temperature.
The present tendency in stucco houses is
the use Of this effect for the entire build

of treating the dining room just now is
the use of burlap, or oatmeal paper, or
the woven woOd-veneer for the lower
third, with the paper above and q plain
strip of wood like the trim Of the room
separating them. Picture holdings are
being placed at the ceiling just below the
molding that connects the ceiling with the
side walls.
A noticeable feature Of the new dining
room is the corner cupboard Of the same
wood as the trim OF the room, with glass
doors which may be diamondpaned or In
small squares. The closed closet below
affords a handy cupboard for linens or
other things which IL is desirable to stow
away. Another innovation that is gaining
favor is the use OF wardrobes In place Of
closets in the bedrooms. These are but
two feet deep, but the garments are hung
on coat hangers from the one shelf and
