STRANGE GREENLAND TREE

Dauphin county, Pennsylvania, con-
tains the only tree of its kind In the
world, a species of Greenland fir, and
although less than foot high the
circumference of the space covered
by its branches is sixty feet. This
tree is located on the Shenk farm In
Bull Frog valley. 1t is at least 200
years old, and from short distance
1t appears to be simply a collection
of small shrubs. Horticulturists OF
the country who have heard of the
phenomenon have made offers Of sub
stantial sums for the tree, with
view to removing it, roots and all;
but these offers have been consist
emily refused. Aside from tree spe-
cialists and residents of the neigh
borhood, few persons have heard of
the spreading tree. In Greenland, its
original home, the species never
grows high and is little more than a
shrub. In its natural surroundings
1t does not attain anywhere near the
circumference of the one in Pennsyl-
vania.

MOST DEADLY OF PoIsoNs

A poison, the most powerful known,
is reported to have been extracted by
German chemist from the seeds OF
the ricinus, the familiar castor oil
plant, and has been attracting much
attention on account Of Its remarkable
properties. It's power is estimated to
be so great that g gram-about a thir-
tieth OF an ounce-would kill mill
ion and half guinea pigs. If admin
istered so as to cause severe illness
without death, it gives immunity
against larger quantity, and the
dose can be gradually increased until
more than 1000 times as much can be
endured as would kill an untreated
animal. Though arsenic, morphine and
other poisons can be taken in larger
and larger quantities, nothing ap-
preaching this marvellous increase In
dose can be borne.

FEW FILIPINos OLD MAIDS

Although Filipino women do not
usually marry early, grandmothers at
thirty are not uncommon. Such as do
not marry, and these are very few,
generally retire from the world to the
seclusion of a convent or beaterio In
some capacity or another, and conse-
quently the old maid of Europe and
the United States Is practically un-
known. The Filipinos as rule make
good wives and tender mothers, and
are very devoted to their husbands
and children. The motherin-law is
also a rara avis. No Filipino would
brook any interference between her.
self and her husband. so long as she
lives with him. Whatever his short
comings may be, he is her "marido"
(husband), and as such always occu-
pies the first place in her considera-
ton.

Paner Jolly CUPS.

The new paper sanitary tumblers
which have just come cut ought to
be hailed with delight by the modern
housekeeper, especially at preserving
time. These little vessels are made
from spruce pulp. They are treated
with aseptic qualities at the mill be-
fore being packed in cartons and
shipped to the various stores and in
these cartons sold to the housekeeper,
SO the only thing she has to do Is to
break the seal and the jelly jars are
ready for use.
They are 30 inexpensive that they
may easily be thrown away at the
end Of the winter season, says the
Philadelphia Times. Each tumbler Is
treated with wax process which en-
ables the jelly to slip out as easily
as from a glass jar.
Little round lids come for covering
the vesgelB and 4 slip into q small
groove at the top. The hot liquid can
be poured directly into these paper
tumblers.

but only suggest the original models.
They are used more sparingly than
others and in small wreathes and tiny
punches. They are liked immensely
on children's millinery.
A favorite way for using small flow
ers is illustrated here. Roses or other
blossoms are banked about the under
brims Of straw shapes, sometimes COW
ering them completely. With this un-
derbrim trimming, ribbon is usually
selected to make a finish for the upper
brim.
In all-fower hats, the brim-edge Is
usually bound with velvet and the
under-brim covered with maine or
chiffon. AS rule such hats set close

Chicken With Bacon.

Boiled chicken, which is ordinarily
rather tasteless and which for many
persons is not improved by the usual
accompaniment Of fiat egg sauce,
may be made a most appetizing dish
If served with bacon, the thickest
possible; trim off the rind and smoky
portions and roast 1t In the oven, like
fresh pork. 1t should cook slowly
that fat may ooze out and leave the
bacon crispy almost through. Place
with the chicken on one platter and
serve slice or two of the bacon with
each helping of the fowl. 1t Ia dell.

when your letter came 1t had already
gone to press. / am very much afraid
you will not like my advice, for most
certainly think seventeen is too young
for any girl to be married. Wait at
least until you are twenty. You will
then have had some girlhood and rea-
lie a bit more the responsibility OF
the step which. you know, is for life,
and for better or worse. Enjoy these
next few years and you will be better
fitted to be a wife.
