Queen Alexandra Happy.

Queen Alexandra Is delighted to
think that she will again have the roy.
al children under her care while the
king and queen are in India at the end
of the year. Christmas will be passed
at Sandringham, and almost immedi-
ately afterward her majesty will bring
her grandchildren to Marlborough
house in order that they may visit
the pantomimes and other entertain
ments. Though somewhat indulgent,
Queen Alexandra maintains discipline
among her grandchildren, and even
the prince of Wales will find that he
has to submit to her ruling. 1t had
been suggested that the prince OF
Wales and Prince Albert should have
small household OF their own at
York cottage in the absence Of their
parents, but his majesty has decided
that they are too young for this. so
that the two princes will stay at Sand
ringham with their sister and younger
brothers.

COHEN'S MUSICAL COMEDY.
As Minutes From Broadway at the
Boyer Theatre, Saturday, Jan. 6.

At the Boyer Theatre on Saturday,
January 6, George M. Cohan's Forty
Five Minutes From Broadway will be
the attraction both matinee and night.
This musical comedy is in the fourth
year of its successful career, which
means much for excellence in these
days of "show me" on the part of the
theatre going public. A play to live
nowadays must absolutely please the
popular fancy; and to do this it must
possess the qualities that stampit for
the gilt edged article. Forty Five
Minutes From Broadway is best de-
scribed as a good story delightfully."-
told-told as none but George Nj. Cohan
can tell it. It's music is tuneful and of
the kind you find yourself whistling

leave you with a pleasant recollection
of them. This delightful comedy is a

to make the engagement this season as

WHY PLANT STREET TREES
Ornament. Health, Comfort and Pro.
lection Are Four Good and Suf-
ficient Reasons.

There are at least four good rea-
sons why We should plant street
trees: First, for ornament; second.
for health; third, for comfort; fourth,
for protection.
1. Ornamentation. That street or
namentation pays in many ways no
one will deny, but it pays directly in
dollars and cents. Beautifying neigh
borhood is not a mere fad. 1t costs
but little more to make it attractive
than to leave 1t or make it unsightly,
and well-kept, well-planted district
will not only attract, but command
residents desirable in every way II
is not mere sentiment that prompts
the railroads TO advertise the attrac-
tons along their lines Beauty TO
them represents cash, and each year
they spend immense sums calling at
tention to the attractions of the sec
tons through which they pass II
people choose a line OF travel be-
cause of its natural and acquired
beauties, how much more eagerly
will they seek such a place for a res
idence. That both are eagerly sought
for is undisputed. Landscape beauty
Is capital. Again, not one OF us would
be satisfied to spend his life in des-
ert, though surrounded with the ne,
cessities of life In plenty. Our ma
lures crave better and more beautiful
surroundings, and we oftimes travel
far seeking the most beautiful loca-
tion obtainable.
2. Health. Trees add greatly to the
healthfulness of any district by cool
ing and purifying the air, the foliage
evaporates large quantities of vater
and the reduction OF temperature in
this way is greatest during the hot
test and dryost weather. The foliage
also absorbs impure and therefore
harmful gases. Trees also promote
circulation of air (due principally to
unequal temperature)
3. Comfort Trees add materially
to comfort either in city or country,
not alone to shade the passer-by,
and the idler who rests beneath their
branches, but in climate like ours,
with perpetual sunshine, they soften
the glare and heat of the sun on side
walks.
a. Protection. Every one will read
lily concede that street trees afford
protection from both wind and sun,
but as a protection against fire they
are not so we'll known. The chief OF
the San Francisco fire department
writes that shade trees on sidewalks
are beneficial in checking the spread
Of fire. First, they are good as wind
breaks, keeping sparks and cinders
from nearby buildings. Second, they
shield the houses, preventing them
from catching fire from the heat He
tells of fire where single large
tree prevented the destruction OF a
three-story fiat adjoining. In this
case there was considerable delay in
getting water, so that the fire gained
great headway.

Mushrooms and ToadstooIs.

The mushroom means the best
known fungi that is good and safe to
eat. There is no grand division of
mushrooms and toadstools. All the
larger feshy fungi are toadstools, and
probably most of them may be fit for
folk to eat-if the truth were known.
There are something like 1900 spe-
cies of toadstools In our temperate
belt About a hundred OF these are
known to be eatable, and only about
thirty are known to be poisonous. OF
the thousand-odd unknown varieties
the only way to prove them good OF
poison is for some mushroom crank
to experiment and find out.

Ocean Phenomeno1.

In recent pilot chart OF the Brit
fish meteorological office many obser
vations Of the singular phenomenon
called white water" are collected
1t is more frequently seen in the trop
ical parts of the Indian ocean than
anywhere else, and it impresses some
observers as weird, CHASTITY and awe
inspiring. The ocean has a milky
look and the ship seems to be passing
through a kind OF luminous fog, in
which sea and sky appear joined and
the sense OF distance is lost. The
phenomenon is believed to be due Il
some form Of phosphorescence, but {
satisfactory explanation Of it is ye
lacking.
