The Twist Of Trees.

A singular uniformity has been OBJ
served In the twist of tree trunks.
In 900 trees out of every 1000 whose
trunks show torslon, the direction OF
the twist is from right to left This
accords with the direction of the
revolution Of cyclonic storms In the
northern hemisphere, and also with
that of whirlpools. which the French
savant, Jean Brunhes, says almost In
variably turn from right to left. The
question arises whether in the south
ern hemisphere the torsion of tree
trunks has an opposite direction, like
the cyclonic motions of the atmos
phere in that half Of the globe.

Oat Straw Feed,

II oat straw is intended for feed,
the oats should be cut before they
are fully ripe, when the grains are in
good dough. Oat straw If stored in
the barn is almost equal to timothy
hay in feeding value. Do not let oats
stand in the field too long before
threshing.

Prisons as Deathtraps.

That Is per cent. of the cOnvicts In
the United States are victims of tu
berculosis is the statement contained
in a bulletin issued by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton of tuberculosis. There are 10000
tuberculous prisoners in state, fedora
and local prisons of the United States
with less than % special institutions
and hardly 500 beds for their treat
ment. Some of the prisons of Penn
sylvania, Kansas and Ohio show such
shocking conditions with reference &c
tuberculosis that many wardens admit
that these places of detention are
deathtraps. In the majority OF cases
the only sure remedy is the destruc
ton of the old buildings and the cree
ton of new ones. Concluding, the bul
letin says: The facts that 10000
prisoners are discharged from the jails
and prisons of the country annually
and that from 10 to Is per cent. OF
them have tuberculosis, make tn,
problem of providing places for thei'
treatment while they are confined

GOT HIS sOBRIQUET EARLY
"Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right
to the Title Long Before
Manhood.

There have been many stories about
the manner in which Honest John"
Kelly, the ex-umpire, first got his nick
name. Mr.. Kelly himself, according
to a New York letter, holds that 1t
came to him naturally, for even as a
small boy the purity of his soul shone
through his face. II think the first
time | was ever called Honest John
was when I was quite a youngster,"
said Kelly. "a man engaged as an
ambulatory salesman of tinware OBJ
served the ingenious countenance l
presented to the world and hailed me.
You look honest, boy" said he. What
might your name be?' john said l,
quite simply John'-just like that.

And so l held his horse while he went

this was on lower Ninth avenue, in
day when the avenues honors went
to the man who could clean the most
cops in a given time. BY and by the
gang came along and beheld that
wagon full of tinware. The peddler
was detained within by sore thirst,
and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cush-
ions off the wagon. Eventually, be-
coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took it away. True to my
trust, stood there, holding the horse.
And by and by the peddler came out

YOUNG Ace Pensions.

Young-age pensions. Why not? tt
ties, honors, riches, pensions and most
other good things are. as a rule, post
poned to period of life when the ca

We're All Her Friends,

A pretty story of Miss Ellen Terry
and a gallant young playwright has
gone the rounds of the Players club.
Miss Terry attended in New York
the first night of this playwright's
latest work and at the end of the
third act he was presented to her.
She congratulated him warmly.
'It Is very good" she said Your
play is very good, indeed. and shall
send all my American friends to see
it."
''In that case" said the playwright,
with a very low and courtly bow, my

Ended the Controversy.

On the steeple of an old UNIVERSAL
is church in Bath, Me-, there is q
wooden figure of an angel. 1t is not
a remarkably fine specimen of art, and
has always been somewhat laughed
about, especially because of its high;
heeled shoes. The Bath Enquirer re-
calls the story that a former pastor OF
the North Congregational church once
accosted a devoted Universalist with
the question: "Mr. Raymond, did you
ever see an angel with high-heeled
shoes on it's feet?" why, no." an.
swered Mr. Raymond, Il can't say that
