MIstletoe Is Dangerous.

Few people who know uistletoe only as a desirable feature of Christ mas decorations understand that tho plant is a parasite dangerous to the life of trees in the regions in which 1t grows. It Is only a question of time. after mistletoe once begins to grow upon a tree before the tree It. self will be killed. The parasite saps the life of the infected branches.

nized. hrsely through hints dropped
BY t~radespeopIe and servants. but a
well-kneWn facial masseuse had an ex.
perienee with q patron which certainly
capped tie climax or her intercourse
with rieA women. Her patron had laid
aside a ball gown in tolerably good con

her friends n struggling young actress
who. she Thought, might utilize the dis.
carded frsck, says b New York World.
The deal went through. the actress pay

material and the aid OF her own deft

for $50.

When The little. masseuse came home
that night to her boarding house. which
was by NO means questionable, she
found three boxes jammed into her

From old shoes to hat frames from
which NIL trimmings had been stripped

for an expressman, paid his charges
and shipped the entire outfit back to
