In place of the legal practi- tioner the pleader is a native boy who Is assigned to one or the other of the sides and is given bamboo tube in which Is sealed the pleading of the person or party whom he represents.

By grasping the stakes they are enabled to remain under wa ter for quite awhile after their natural inclination would bring them to the surface, but at last one of them gives in and, releasing his hold of the stake, comes to the air.

Few people who know mistletoe only as q desirable feature of Christmas decorations understand that the plant is parasite dangerous to the life of trees in the regions in which 1t grows It is only q question of time after mistletoe once begins to grow upon a tree before the tree itself will be killed. The parasite saps the life of the infected branches. Fortunately il Is of slow growth. taking years to de velop to large proportions. but when neglected it invariably ruins all trees 1t reaches. The only method of eXtcr imitation Is the cutting down of dis eased trees.-EXchange.
