Makina His Mark.

"One funny thing l have learned about human nature," said a drug store cashier, 'is the habit many peo- pie have of marking their name in the city directory. They do that because the directory is the only place where their name ever gets into print, and 1t has such a fascination for them that they can't resist calling attention to 1t. A funny little old man who likes to talk tells me that he has made special trips to different parts of the city just to mark his name in the directories of the neighborhood. He puts a little cross in red ink before it. asked him what good it did. He said none, pos sibly, although he is a teacher of Ian guages and may get few calls on account of that queer advertisement.
 'sBut his is an exceptional case. Not many persons spend time and money hunting up city directories, but every time they happen to see a new one they can't help looking up their name and putting some kind of a mark around t"-Philadelphia Ledger.

Spruce Trees Nur.ed by Pines.

A singular fact with regard to the re lations of different species of trees has been brought out by the reforestation of the peninsula of Jutland, Denmark 1t was observed that when planted alone spruce trees did not prosper, but that if spruce was planted near a mountain pine it grew up vigorously. Further experiment has shown that fl the pines are placed near the spruces at the beginning and after being al lowed to grow together with them for a few years are cut down the benefit to the spruce continues. The phenom- enon is not understood, says Profes- sor J. W. Harshberger, but it is sup posed that the roots of the mountain pine are inhabited by some mycorhiza which produces the nitrogen needed by the trees and that this organism is transferred to the roots of the sur rounding spruce. Once the infection has taken place the presence of the pine is no longer necessary.

French Whiskers.

The full and SumptuOuS beard which was once the pride and joy of every well oiled Parisian is fast disappear ing. Not so long ago the streets of Paris teemed with rotund figures car rying black portfolios under their arms and screened by curtain of curly hair which whisked gayly in the breeze. Red bronze was the favorite color, either natural or bottled, as the case might be. In moments of agita- tion or perplexity the beard offered great possibilities to its harassed own CT, who seemed to derive inspiration from it's constant manipulation.
 I remember once. when I was living with French family on the other side of the Seine, I was attacked by influ- enza. Madame insisted upon my call ing in her doctor. He was a very small man with a very large beard After listening to the story of my life he proceeded to examine my lungs. I was about a foot taller than he was. so he was obliged to stand on uptoe to perform the rite. As he glued his ear to my chest his beard seemed to annoy him. for he suddenly gathered it up in one hand and flung it over my shoulder. The action so astonished me that I entirely forgot to wheeze. thereby depriving him of one of my most interesting symptoms.-Exchange

Old Tim. London Sundays.

Now and then one hears Londoners complaining that their. Sunday is too dull They want more amusements, attractions. life. But had they lived in the seventeenth century they would have found vast difference. At that period Sunday in London was a day of trials. One had only to fetch or carry to break the Sabbath Men were fined for carrying such things as a haunch of venison and pair of shoes. while another individual had to pay up for swearing on Sunday. A duke and knight were fined again and again for riding in their carriages on the first day of the week, and one un- fortunate pedestrian had to pay sov- ereign because he was caught in the act of strolling from Bristol to Bath on a Sunday.-Pearson's Weekly.

When Ono Drills With Diamonds.

A diamond bit for rock drilling is quite an expensive article. says Cas- sier's Magazine. It's value, however. will undergo fluctuations. dependent upon the price of the diamonds. Per haps $500 is a fair value for bit. The diamond used is exceedingly hard harder than those usually used as jewelry. Their carat price is consid erable, averaging, say. $6O per carat The diamonds used will weigh from one to two carats. so that eight have a value ranging from $4SO to $96O on the average. The loss of a bit means many diamonds gone and may lead to difficulty with the hole The diamond is not tough. but brittle It will withstand heavy pressure if applied evenly and without shock. It can readily be seen that drilling through seamy rock may become quite unfavorable. If there is much quartz present the abrasion may become ex- cessive. Under ordinary conditions. however. the wear on the diamonds. while considerable. is by no means pro hibitive.
