Erench Burial Customs.

The ancient custom of depositing
valuables in tombs still prevails In
France. But it is not only jewels and
he like that are buried with the dead.
A few years ago it was the custom In
La Vendee to put polished stone
within reach Of the corpse. This was
supposed to guide the dead on his
new Journey In the district Of Oman
a piece of bread was used for the same
purpose. The people of the Bordeaux
district place in the coffin a sprig of
myrtle blessed at Easter This is con-
sidered to insure entry into paradise.
On the borders of Brittany and Poitou
a little pebble is placed on the tongue
of the deceased. Without this it is
thought he might plead his cause be-
fore the great tribunal with such vol
utility as would insure his condemna-
ton without appeal.-Journal des De-

In the Heart of q Tree.

In the Heart of a Tree.
Two men with axes chopped at the
trunk Of a great Eastwood tree, and
then they went at the notch with a
long saw. one man at each end. The
tree stood in the forest along the
Montreal river In Wisconsin. The
men sawed away. and all of sudden
the saw rasped on something hard
the tough heartwood doubtless. The
sawyers worked the harder, but it
was to no effect. The teeth of the
saw were blunted. and the men took
to the axes again.
Can you imagine what they found
when the tree had fallen with a roar
that shook the surrounding woods?
Their axes had uncovered the edge
Of another ak blade. hidden in the liv-
ing tree, covered so deeply that no
mark had remained on the bark to
tell Of what was within. The blade

A Real Handy Tree.

Did you ever hear of thread and
needle tree? 1t is rather handy tree
to have growing in the back yard. don't
you think. especially when there are
boys in the house with buttons coming
off about every other minute?
This strange tree grows in nearly all
tropical countries and in some places
nearer home where the climate is
warm. 1t gets it's name by which we
know it from the curious formation Of
it's leaves. At the tip Of the leaf there
Is sharp thorn. which is the needle.
If you grasp it firmly and pull it out
there you are with a needle already
threaded for your sewing. This fiber
thread is very strong. and the Mexi-
cans use it for weaving a coarse kind
Of cloth as we'll as for sewing.

insects In FLIGHT

Motion pictures of insects In fight
prove that the movement Of the wings
of all insects presents the same gen.
eral character When flight is begun
the amplitude of the first wing beats
is much smaller than of the subsequent
ones, but the period remains almost
unchanged The insect regulates the
velocity of its fight. not by the rapid
ty Of the motion of it's wings. but by
changing their inclination. Although
in normal conditions the period of the
wing beat remains constant. it may be
increased or diminished by various in
fuences, such as fatigue and cold.

The quality of ones work is,
after all, about the surest test of

goes pretty closely, even if not

it stamps in the mans own

whether he has succeeded or fail
