IRON TONIC FOR TREES.
Plant Nails Among the Reets and
Vigorous Growth Results.

Plant Nails Among the Roots and q
Il Vigorous Growth Results.
A dozen large nails planted among
the roots of Z tree assure the tree Of
health, because the vegetable saps
cause the oxidation Of tho iron and
the sap carries ferruginous salts
through all the living cells and circu-
lation vessels. bot aG ~
Not many years ago one Of the sights
OF q certain French cemetery was q
tree, half green. half rust colored. lux
uriantly leaved upon both sides and
in fourishing condition. When the tree
died and preparations were made for
an examination of its roots it was al
most impossible to exhume 1t. When
all the ground around it was loosened
and the roots were exposed 1t was
found that the tree when sappling
had clasped its young roots around the
haste Of an iron balustrade encircl1ng
a tomb The roots of the tree had run
in and out between the iron bars OF
the fence. Exactly half of the tree
had come in contact with the iron, and
that half put forth growth luxuriant-
" leaved in rusty brown. The half
that had not touched the iron devel-
oped a growth of normal coloring.
The tree as a whole was fine speci'
men of healthy vegetable growth. but
the side impregnated by iron far ex-
ceeded the green side in its output of
vigorous LEAKAGE.
Sulphate of iron Is Of little value
when sprinkled on the leaves of sick
tree, but powdered iron has marvel
Gus effect when introduced into the
tissues by means of holes bored in the
trunk. The holes must be filled with
the powder and then corked with
wooden plugs and we'll puttied over
and around the plugs, so that none OF
the tonic can escape. To do its work
the iron must be carried through the
tree in the circulation of the sap.-Har-

1hIdy Thousand Persons Home

WATER PouRs INTO ARKANSAS
Three New Breaks Occur In MIsslo.
sippi River levees at Points
South Of Memphia.

st. Louis, April s.-Thirty thousand
persons homeless; two thousand
square miles of country inundated,
thirty persons drowned and . financial
loss Of $10,OO0,000 constitute the re.
suit OF two-week flood In the Missis'
sippi valley.
These figures were arrived at by
government engineers and officials Of
state levee boards engaged in fighting
to maintain the Mississippi levees
from Illinois to threatened points in
Mississippi and Arkansas.
Water is pouring into Arkansas
through three new breaks in the levee
south of Memphis. These gave way
and several hundred square miles are
flooded.
Railroad traffic in these sections
practically is paralyzed. Hundreds of
persons still are menaced by the river
at points in lower Missouri, North
west Tennessee and Arkansas. They
are marooned in housetops. in trees
and on anchored RATS.
The most dangerous point in the
flood situation was at the Golden
Lake. Ark, levee.
A break at Golden Lake would mean
the inundation of 4 section ~ large -
that flooded Saturday BY the collapse
Of the wall at the st. Claire loop. 700
square miles, with tho probability that
the water from tho two crevassea
would Join. Because Of this the Hood
danger In the southern part Of tho val.
10y increased. Al long % the levees
north hold the strain on tho southern
onbankments increases. z gf3s w
Hourly the danger zone works south
ward. In the upper reaches Of the
Ohio and Mississippi rivers the flood
has reached it's highest stage. This
means that the crest now is exerting
its pressure on the dykes from the
Missouri line southwark.
There has been suffering among
thousands of refugees gathered In the
highland towns in the food district.
However, this situation will be brief,
because officials of the state and fed
eral government are working to re.
lieve it.
State and levee board officials in
the districts south of Memphis have
been laboring to top the threatened
levees. Mississippi state officials
think their embankments will hold.
Nevertheless the menace to states
bordering the Mississippi south of
Memphis will not have ceased until
the flood has passed the New Orleans
delta and emptied into the gulf.

Powerful opponsnt
In painting the sacrifice Of Iphigenia
the artist, It Is said, exhausted the
emotions Of grief and horror In the
faces Of the bystanders.
HE has left nothing unsaid. How
can he depict her fathers sorrowY
was the anxious query Of those friends
who were watching the development
Of the picture The artist threw q
mantle over Agamemn0n's face. The
blank silence was more effective than
any picture woe.
One of the most extraordinary effects
produced by an absolute silence ts re-
corded in the reports Of a convention
In which the foremost men Of Virginia
took part John Randolph had meas
ure to carry in which he looked for the
opposition Of Alexander Campbell. u
man then noted for his scholarship and
power in debate.
Randolph had never seen the Scotch
logician, but he had heard enough OF
him to make him and his partisans
uneasy. When, therefore, the gaunt
stranger first rose to speak in the con-
vention Randolph looked at him with
such an air Of alarm as to attract the
whole attention of the convention and
as he glanced around seemed to be
asking for sympathy in his coming de-
feat. He then composed himself to

Campbell, aware of this byplay, hes
itated and lost the thread Of his argu-
ment. Randolph's face by turns as he
listened expressed WEAKNESS, indif1er-

back and yawned. Campbell sat down
hastily. He had lost the whole force
Of his speech. Not word had been
spoken, but he was defeated.-St. Louis

Tho Crew of Columbus.

The list of the officers and sailors in
the first voyage Of Columbus was al
most cosmopolitan in it's character.
Among them there was Jew, Luis
de Torres; an Irshman from Galway,
Ireland, William Harris: an English
man, Arthur Laws; Italians, Portu-
guese, spaniards and several other
nationalities, though, Of course, the
Spaniards were largely in the MAORI
ty. It is maintained by some authori-
ties, with considerable plausibility,
too, that there was Scotchman in
the list and that after Columbus him
self he was the first man to tread the

The most notable example Of mas

Beethoven's "Eroica" symphony. Gen.

In Vienna In 1893 as ambassador from

gthoven the composition of q symphony
In honor of Napoleon. At that time
Napoleon was looked upon as the
champion Of freedom, the savior Of
his country, the embodiment Of re-
publican ideals, with which Beethoven
was in thorough sympathy. and he
willingly accepted the proposal. Be

news reached Vienna Beethoven was
violently angered. After all, then,
he is nothing but an ordinary mortal!
He will trample all the rights of men
under foot to indulge his ambition
and become a greater tyrant than any
one!"
With these words he seized the mu-
sic, tore the title page in half and
threw it on the ground. He never
again referred to the connection be-
tween his work and Napoleon until
news of the latter's death reached
him. Then he said, II have already
