Evolution of Cherry Blossoms.

The evolution of the cherry bios
som from the simple, single little wild
mountain flower to a great, wide
spread, two-inch blossom as big as a
Cherokee rose, and to great rosettes
of "many-fold," "hundred-petal" and
"thousand-petal" flowers is as amaz-
ing as anything in the necromancy OF
Japanese gardening.
Beginning with the stock of the
wild mountain or Yoshino cherry, the
gardeners grated the shoots of the
Towering varieties close to the ground
then enlarged the petals, changed
stamens to petals, and multiplied the
petals. These they curled in cup
like forms beyond the possibilities of
a plum blossom, and, beside the one
indention of the traditional heart
shaped petal, cut deep notches like
a sparrow's beak or made serrated
edges like the petals of a pink or
daisy.
They called the latter flower the
s'little chrysanthemum." They curled
and b%roadened the stamens, stood
them upright like the sail of a junk,
and in some cases left two pistils of
pale green in the heart of the rosiest
flowers as a charming color contrast.

Not in stocs.

A Boston sportsman, who has Just
returned from the Maine woods, tells
of an incident which happened In one
of the small country stores in the
Pine Tree State. Laid up with a
cold one day, and consequently
forced to remain indoors, the hunter
went to the village store in search
for something to read. Robert Brown
ing he held as his favorite author,
so he promptly asked the rather ell
derby shopkeeper to look over his
shelves and see if he had Brown
ing's works among a small array of
books tucked away in an obscure
corner.
Nope" replied the storeman, run
ming over his shelves; ives got blue
ing, backing and whiting, but I
don't see no browning anywhere."-

A Comets Tail.

The tail of a comet is composed of
gas, existing in a highly raref1ed con-
dition. Little particles of electricity
called corpuscles, or ions, are being
constantly given off at enormous
speed by the sun. Each meteorite in
TIE comets head is surrounded by it's
own rarefied atmosphere. When one
of these little ions strikes one of the
molecules of gas in the comets at
mosphere, it carries it off with it to
form the tail. The electrical charge
makes the gas luminous, and 1t is by
this light, and not by reflected sum
light, that the tail is made visible to
us. A comets tail, therefore, seems
to be merely a very extended aurora

Return of Halley's Comet" in the

But Not Taxproof.

A model concrete house has been
built by a corporation at Montclair,
N. J.. 1t weighs five hundred tons
and has only two ingredients-con-
crete and steel. 1t is, in effect, a
solid chunk of rock, and Is expected
to last forever. 1t is fireproof, water
proof, rat and mouse proof-every-
thing but taxproof.
To make an imperishable house
that is not taxproof seems sort of
futile, but after all it may be no more
uneconomic than to make an immor-
tai soul and neglect to make it proof
against sin. A world of all-concrete
houses and sinproof souls might not
be so interesting as this world we
know. There would be no fire en-
gines, no insurance companies and no
churches. 1t might seem dull.
The perishable nature of mundane
things probably helps to make us toll
Grant of them. Imperishable things,
like souls, were wisely planned to be
unsubstantial. If souls weighed five
hundred tons we might wish they
didn't last so well, and that perma-
nent house in Montclair may be blown
up in the next generation by a public
out of all patience with it's style.

EDITOR KILLS THE MAYOR
Result of Three Years Feud In
Morehouse, Mo.
Four Bullets Fired in Rapid Success
sion at DIR. Hart in Front
Of a Store.

Morehouse, Mo.-Claude B. Hay,
editor of the Hustler, a local news
paper, shot and killed in the main
highway DR.. L. w. Hart, the Mayor
of Morehouse. The tragedy marks
an epoch in a feud that has lasted
three years and has involved all of
the public men in this part OF Mis-
souri, in one phase or another of the
bitter controversy.
Hay and Hart both come from old
and prominent families of this State,
and each has been influential in town
and county politics. The trouble
began in 1907, when Hay made an
editorial attack on DR.. Hart at the
time the latter was a candidate for
a local office. The physician met the
editor the next day in the street and
Quarreled and fought. A pistol was
drawn, it was said, but friends rushed
in, and the antagonists were separ-
ated before harm resulted to either.
From that time the two men did not
speak to each other, ne matter what
occasion brought them together.
After the town election recently. at
which the Aldermen were chosen, and
after DIR. Harris friends in the Citf-
zens' party were elected, a Socialist,
a member of the opposing faction,
wrote an article severely condemning
Harris activity in the campaign. The
article was printed in Hays paper.
This caused a renewal Of open ex-
preston of hatred between the Mayor
and the editor, and threats were
made.
Hay was in the main street when
Mayor Hart came out of a store.
Without a word the editor drew his
pistol and opened fire. He shot four
times as fast as he could pull the
trigger Of his weapon. Three of the
bullets entered DR.. Harris body. The
Mayor staggered into the store adj
joining that from which he had come,
and an instant later fell dead.
Hay walked unmolested, pistol in
hand, to his newspaper Office and
there awaited the arrival of the po-
lice. The town marshal was the first
to get there and to him Hay surren-
dered. He was taken to the county
Jail in New Madrid.
Harris friends took possession Of
the body, to be buried at Charleston,
Mo-, his former home.

"A number of my friends have
abandoned the old fashioned coffee

are some people that make Postum

boiled long enough, according to d.

Changes in Religious Effort.

The real ground, therefore, of our
superiority to our ancestors is not so
much that they were all selfish while
only a few of us are, or even that they
lacked zeal for human welfare, as
that their altruism was misdirected,
first to loving individuals rather than
the mass, and then to laboring for
their salvation from imaginary dan
gers in the next world, rather than
from real trouble in this. We have
learned first to confine our efforts in
this world, and second, to work at
wholesale rather than retail.-Ernest
C. Richardson in the Atlantic.
