RULES TO GET WEALTH.
Rothschild Said It Took More Wit to
Hoard Than to Earn,

RothSchild commonly aScribed his
early success in great degree to the
following rules:
"First-I combined three profits. l
made the manufacturer my customer
and the one bought of my customer
that is, | supplied the manufacturer
with raw materials and dyes, on each
Of which l made profit, and took his
manufactured goods, which l sold at
a profit, and thus combined three
profits.
"Second.-Make bargain at once
Be an offhand man.
"Third.-Never have anything to do
with an unlucky man or place. | have
seen many clever men who had not
shoes to their feet | never act with
them. Their advice sounds very well,
but fate is against them. They can
not get on themselves. How can they
do me good?
"Fourth.-Be cautious and bold. 1t
requires a great deal of boldness and
great deal of caution to make a great
fortune. and when you have got it it
requires ten times as much wit to
keep it."
The last idea was one which Roth
schild frequently expressed.-Life.

Where Clay Is Food.

In the colony Of Upper Senegal and
Niger, near place named Diekuy, eX-
lists an edible clay, of which the na-
tives are very fond. 1t is found in a
layer between strata of limestone, and
a gallery has been driven into the
earth for the extraction of the sub
stance. 1t is not only eaten on the
spot, but, broken into pieces few
inches across, is sold to the inhabitants
of the surrounding country over a ra-
dus of some twenty miles. 1t is said
by French explorers that some natives
consume several pounds Of the strange
food every day. A similar custom is
found in the Sudan and in other parts
of Africa.-Youth's Companion.

wrote somebody, and everybody ac-
cepted the statement as truth. 1t is
not true, however, for Christmas
comes twice a year. Those of us who
reckon by the Gregorian calendar cell
ebrate Dec. %. Those who still ad-
here to the Julian calendar observe
Jan. Z. Russia is the only great ma
ton which still holds out for the Ju-
lian calendar. The Greek Catholic
church sticks to the time measure
ment adopted by julius Caesar forty
six years before the birth OF Christ.
Thus the Greeks and all the adher-
ents Of that church, including the Rus
slams, of course, hold their Christmas
on the 7th day Of January
In the city Of New York both Christ
mas days are celebrated. New York
city has considerable population of
Greeks, Russians, Armenians, Syrians,
Servians, Poles, Bulgarians, Montene-
grins and Vlachs, all of whom observe
the Julianic Christmas. For forty
days prior to Jan. : they observe a
fast, eating no meat, neither beast,
fish nor fowl. They eat fish eggs or
caviar, but draw the line there. Their
principal diet for the forty days fast
ing is made up of olives, beans, caviar
bread and crackers.
But at 6 o'clock on the morning Of
Christmas day, Jan. Z, the Julianist
fast is over. Julianist friends go to
church early on their Christmas morn
ing, but not too early. They eat break
fast first. High mass is celebrated in
the Greek Orthodox church at s o'clock
The forty days fast having ended two
hours before, the Julianists are joyful
ly full of the good things of this world
before they enter the house of wor-
ship. The chief Wand, so far as its
symbolic character goes, is spiced

with walnuts. with n cross cut on top.
This is called the christopsoma-
dread of the Christ"
The Greeks, many of them arrayed
in gorgeous new clothing, bring their
feast to an end with the cups of Turk
ish coffee and the Turkish cigarettes,
mixed in with songs and toasts. 1t is
highly interesting for plain Ameri-
can, with plain name like Jim Jones,
to sit in cafe and hear the songs Of
the foreign gentlemen with seven
jointed surnames, observe the salts
faction depicted in their countenances
as the feast goes on and receive the
impression that this is real Christmas
cheer, though it be thirteen days late
according to our method of counting
time.

REGARDING Color Blindness.

1t is n curious fact that color blind
persons are not often aware of their
defect of vision. Even scientific men
frequently fail to detect this defect in
themselves.
The following is a favorite theory to
account for the cause of color blind
ness: The eye is capable of four dis
tinct color sensations-blue, yellow.
red and green. These arise, however,
from only two sources, each of which
has q double action, producing the
sensations of two complementary col
ors One of the sources of sensation
corresponds to blue and yellow. the
other to red and green. Most color
blind people are deficient in the latter
source of sensation and can distin-
guish, therefore, only blue and yellow
with their compounds, but sometimes
the reverse is the case. - Harper's
Weekly.

CHRISTMAS IN SHETLAND.
Islands Have Curious Yuletide Gus
toms,

Islands Have Curious Yuietide Gus
toms.
The festival of Yule, as is well
known, dates back to prehistoric times,
when men worshiped nature rather
than natures God.
The inhabitants of the Shetland isles
are descended from Norsemen, who
were jealous in religious belief, and
"Yule" to them meant a season Of
great Importance, says Madame. The
"Gammel Norsk HUI signifies, liter
ally, wheel" and the festival so called
was held in honor of the sun at the
winter solstice wheeling round toward
the equator. The return of the sun
formed >an important period Of the year
as being the beginning of renewed life
in nature, which only could be revived
by the light and warmth of the ascend
ing orb.
The course of the sun was observed
in all things as far as possible. Every
thing was turned from left to right.
The boat was so turned on the water,
the corn stacks so built in courses, the
wheel in spinning. In fact, everything
went with the sun, even the round of
the drinking horn.
Many superstitions included in ma
ture worship had full scope at the
Hull" time-or more modern "Yule"
when vast multitude of "trows,"
or fairy folk, who at that season were
not only active, but maliciously dis
posed, had to be propitiated.
TO give the fairy folk no opportunity
of playing tricks the fishing creel and
lines We're removed from the wall, the
spinning wheel taken out Of gear and
its integral parts laid aside and every
thing suspended from ceiling or walls
lifted down, as II left in their usual
places the ubiquitous elves We're sup
posed to set all going against the suns
motion, which of course would mean
serious trouble. The time of Yule was
and still is rigidly observed as "helly"
i e., time Of rest from all manner
of labor.

MlSFIT CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

Now the women go a-shopping
, Every week day without stopping,
, Buying thin gifts for the stout man
and fat presents for the gaunt,
; And we reckon that's the reason
Why at every Christmas season
, All the married men and single get
, the things they do not want.
When a man with whiskers flowing
: Gets a razor. then he's going
!, To emit CALCULATIONS that would not
, look well in print
, And If hand soap is presented
He'll be sore and disconnected,
: For his feelings will be narrowed
by that most suggestive hint.
II man has no desire
For tobacco, then brier
, Or a meerschaum for his Christmas
would be sinful and absurd.
You might just as we'll give biub-
Der
To whale. for Yuletide grub or
, A bushel of canary seed to 4 chap
who has no bird.
But 1t doesn't really matter
If the women widely scatter
All their tokens of affection on the
men in manner rash,
For the luxury of living
Is enhanced by Christmas giving
When the presents are not misfits
that you can't exchange for
cash.

bark, there is little doubt that it is of
use in preventing infection from spores
washed down by rain from the upper
part of tree or from spores which
have been transported from other trees.
For this reason the spraying after each
rain of the parts of a tree below Il
spore bearing lesion is recommended.
but only on an experimental basis. If
no spore bearing lesion occur IN the
tree there is less apparent reason for
spraying. The scattering of slaked
lime about the base of a tree and the
whitewashing of the trunk and larger
limbs have shown apparently bene-
fetal results in preventing infections
and perhaps also depredations Of bor-
ers.
A tree which is being treated for in
dividual infections must be carefully
watched and the diseased spots
promptly cut out as they appear. For
this purpose each tree should be ex-
amined very carefully two or three
times at least during the growing sea-
son.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE.
inexpensive Decorations Which Will
Look Artistic.

inexpensive Decorations Which Will
Look Artistic.
The cost of decorating a Christmas
tree is largely question of choice.
Nothing makes so much show for
the money invested as tinsel, and 1t
should be used on the Christmas tree
as extravagantly as the purse war
rants. An inexpensive but exception
ally artistic decoration was worked by
one mother to whom expense was a
great consideration. 1t consisted of
chains of cranberries and popcorn in
terwoven with gilt and silver tinsel.
The red of the berries, the white Of
the corn and the glitter of the tinsel
against the green Of the tree were won
derfully pretty.
Another mother who had to evolve
her decorations had only cotton bat
ting and tinsel as her stock in hand.
The tree was first flecked with bits Of
cotton, as if q snowstorm had passed
that way, then sprinkled freely with
epson salt, which produces the same
effect as diamond dust and costs next
to nothing. Then yards and yards of
lluSel were oNtI anu
the branches. The result of this sim
pie decoration was charming. The base
Of the tree was banked with cotton.
Paper Christmas bells make effective
and inexpensive decorations for tree.
If the children Of the household are
kindergartners their fingers can fash
ion the trimmings of tissue or gilt and
silver paper. Apropos Of the children
lending a hand, it is a mistake upon the
part of the mother, after the children
are old enough to assist, to take upon
herself the entire task of trimming the
tree
Then, too, it is really depriving the
children of n great pleasure, for the
fact that they had hand in the mat
ter will add rather than detract from
their joy. OF course the gifts, the real
surprise feature, If hung upon the tree,
must be put in place after the children
are off for the Land of Nod. The bet
ter plan is to arrange the gifts around
the base of the tree, for if hung upon
it the decorations will be more or less
disturbed when detaching the gifts.

cut OF the entire limb or to cut down
the tree, as the case may be, unless
there Is some special reason for at
tempting to save the limb or tree. The
fungus usually, though not always, de-
velops most vigorously in the inner
bark next to the wood. When this is
the case not only all the diseased bark
and an inch Of healthy bark around it
must be removed, but at least two or
three annual layers of wood beneath
the diseased bark must also be gouged
out. Special care should be taken to
avoid loosening the healthy bark at the
edges Of the cut out areas. Except in
the early spring this is not difficult
after a little experience in manipulate
ing the gouge and mallet, provided the
gouge is kept sharp.
Small branches which have become
infected should be cut off, the cut be-
ing made well back of the disease-at
least two or three inches, if possible.
All cut-out areas and all the cut ends
of stubs should be carefully and COM
pletely painted with coal tar. A good
grade of paint has been recommended
by some authorities as superior to tar,
but 1t is more expensive. If the tar Is
very thick the addition Of little creo-
sote will improve it for antiseptic pur-
poses as well as for ease in applying.
II the first coat is thin a second one
of fairly thick tar should be applied
within a few weeks or months. Other
coats should be applied later whenever
it harpmns paraScofv
The entire tree should be carefully
examined for diseased spots and every
one thoroughly cut out and treated in
the way already described. In case of
suspicious looking spots n portion of
the outer bark can be cut out with the
sharp gouge as q test. If this cut
shows the enthusiastically discolored
bark the spot can be considered as dis
eased and cut out accordingly; If the
cut shows healthy bark it need merely
be treated with tar or paint, as. other
cuts are treated. In examining tree
for diseased spots it is always best to
begin at the base, Of the trunk and
work up, for If the trunk is girdled at
the base it is useless to work anywhere
on the tree.

present. especially in the form of

threads or horns, they are readily
washed down the branches and trunk
by every rain and thus carried down
to or toward the base of the tree. AS
a result the base of tree, the crotches
and other places which afford easy
lodgment for the spores are particular
ly subject to infection.
Although spraying with any of the
standard fungicides appears to have
no effect whatever in stopping the
progress of the disease after it has
once started in the inner or middle

DIRECTIONS FOR THE WORK.
Federal Department of Agriculture
Recommends Cutting Out of Diseased
Spots and Treatment With Coal Tar
or Good Paint

Recommends Cutting Out of Diseased
Spots and Treatment With Coal Tar
or Good Paint.
Where valuable ornamental shade
or orchard chestnut trees become in
fected in one or more spots with the
chestnut bark disease that has been
killing the trees in several states and
is spreading rapidly the life and use
fui1ess of such trees can be prolonged
for several or for many years, depend
ing largely upon the thoroughness with
which the recommendations given in a
bulletin issued by the United States
department Of agriculture for cutting
out the diseased areas Qesions) are car
ried out.
The essentials for the work are a
gouge, a mallet, pruning knife, pot
Of coal tar and paint brush. In the
case of a tall tree ladder or rope or
both may be necessary, but under no
circumstances should tree climbers be
used, as they cause wounds which are
very favorable places for infection
Sometimes an ak, saw and a long
handled tree pruner are convenient
auxiliary instruments, though prac-
tically all the cutting recommended
can be done with n gouge with cut
ting edge of one or one and one-half
inches. All cutting instruments should
be kept very sharp, so that a clean
and smooth cut may be made at all
times.
BY cutting with the gouge into dis
eased area a Enthusiastically dlscol-
ored and mottled middle and inner
bark Is revealed. All of this diseased
bark should be carefully cut out for at
least an inch beyond the discolored
area if the size of the branch will al
low 1t. This bark should be collected
in bag or basket and burned. If the
cutting is likely to result in the re-
moval Of the bark for much more than
half the circumference OF the branch
or trunk 1t will probably be better to
