essential -one-half inch being a popular size,

Trees in towns and cities naturally much

the practice of tree surgery than those in the
country districts The png of building material

grading of streets roads all pro

horse bites and girdling by wire labels are other
sources OF trouble One of the worst of all, how
ever, is improper pruning tree butchery. AS
matter of fact, intelligent. systematic pruning
and tree surgery are very closely related.
Pruning requires previous intimate knowledge
of the habits OF growth of trees whereas surgery
the other hand requires in addition knowl-
edge of the best methods for making cavities air
tight and preventing decay. The principle is
pauch the that employed by the dentists
who fll cavities In the teeth of human beings,
and this caring for the cavities in trees is the
only means Of preserving affected specimens and
saving to this and future generations some OF the
roblest specimens OF woodland growth. The
favorite mixture for filing cavities is composed
Of part Portland cement to three parts Of
clean. sharp sand. After all decayed decayng
matter has been removed from the cavity the
whole cavity Is filled with this thin mortar, and
then. when this has had time to become stiH
but not hard there is applied a surface coat
made OF one part sand and one part cement and
the surface is so faced as to exclude all mois-
from the opening of the cavity
II should be noted in conclusion that Provi-
dence has provided with the best tree doctor
in the form Of that familiar and unappreciated
bird, the woodpecker. The woodpecker is easily
the most useful of all the hundred varieties
of birds to be found in the United States and It
is largely because Of his constant search for and
warfare against the four hundred different varte-
ties of insects that prey upon our trees The
woodpecker is not merely tree doctor, but Is
actually. tree surgeon because his most

Deaths Due to Dust,

A warning against the dangers OF
dust was issued recently by the Ma.
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention Of tuberculosis, in which
1t is shown that the percentage Of
deaths caused by tuberculosis in dusty
trades is more than double that for all
employed men in the registration area
of the United States. While among
males generally In the registration
area of the United States 14.5 per
cent. of all deaths are from consump.
ton the mortality among grinders
from this disease is 492 per cent, and
In hardly any OF the dusty trades is II
below 25 per cent. The percentage OF
deaths from tuberculosis among all
those exposed to metallic dust is 36e
per cent: to mineral dust, 2S.6 per
cent; to vegetable fibre dust. 2s.s per
cent; to mixed animal and other
forms Of dust 321 per cent; to street

Sure Sign That Miss Amanda Lowry Was Going to Get
 Better.

There were certain traits which distinguished Miss Amanda Lowry from most of her neighbors, and al- though not all of them were ad- mirable traits, they were Miss Amanda's, and therefore accepted lovingly by her friends.
 When she was taken suddenly ill with pneumonia, the village was in great distress.
 q went in to see her just a min ute," said fearful friend, ''and she scarcely looked at me. I don't think she really sensed I was there. But yet they say she's mite better, if she can only get some strength into her. The fever's gone, but she lacks interest, she's so weak"
 4 few days later, still fearful, but joyous, the same friend made a more encouraging report.
 "She looked at me, Amanda did, where l sat, way across the room, and then she beckoned to me. You go take look at yourself in the glass, she said, 'and tell me if you've got your brooch on straight. It looks canted to the left, to me-
 
 "And twas" said the neighbor, wiping her eyes. "She could hardly speak above whisper, but when I'd straightned it, she said, That's all right and turned over and went to sleep. She's going to get well !"- Youths Companion.
