GETTING CLOSE TO NATURE
Stretch Yourself Out Beneath an Oak
and See II You Feel This
Way.

Whether its branches show green
against dark-blue sky-gold where
the sunlight touches them-whether
its leaves show magenta in the light
of the setting sun, or black and sill
yer in the moonlight, there is no tree
of them all to compare with the oak.
All summers day you may lie
stretched beneath it, SO strong and
so friendly, not to you only, but to
all the little lives that swarm about
its roots. All kinds of busy crea-
tures-ants, spiders, daddy-longlegs
beloved of your childhood go
scurrying over you on this errand
and that, as unafraid, almost, as if
you we're dead. A feeling Of kinship
comes to you: knowledge that all
this life about you is oak and grass
and insect, and the good dog lying
at your feet, is but a little part of
the ageless fux and refux; sooth-
ingly as a cool hand on an aching
head there comes to you the realiza-
tion that soon fears, hates and loves
forgotten, your tired body shall rest
under the trees all the days and all
the nights.-Atlantic Monthly.

WINE OF KIRK-KlLIsSEH.

Under its own name Kirk-Kilis-
sch, now figuring in the war news,
conveys nothing to the majority of
Englishmen, but incognito, SO to
speak, it is very well known indeed.
For Kirk-Kilisseh is a place of vine
yards, producing an excellent wine,
which is eagerly purchased by
French firms, shipped to Bordeaux
and sold as the "best Bordeaux.
And so it comes about that many
smack lips over Bordeaux" that is
really Kirk-Kilisseh-

ANGRY FISH BITES ANGLER
Brooklyn Man, the Sufferer, Sends
Head to Pasteur Institute, Fear.
Ing Rabies.

Whether fish can have dydro-
phobia is question that Fred
Henry of Hancock street, Brooklyn.
would like to have settled. and for
that reason he has sent to the Pas
teur institute In New York the head
Of q pickerel that bit him at Swarts'
wood lake recently. says Newton IN.
~ correspondent of the New York
Press. Henry was fishing in a boat
that was a trifle leaky and he took on
his shoes and socks. His first catch
was a pickerel Weighing three pounds.
When he yanked the fish 1t Topped
around in the bottom of the boat In
, lively fashion.
AS Henry was batting up again he
felt a sharp pain in one OF his feet.
and. looking down. saw that the pick.
erel had made o jump and fastened
It's teeth in his toe. He tried to kick
the fish away. but the pickerel held
on and Henry had to use the handle
Of his landing net to pry open the
fish's jaws before he got free Of 1t.
The toe started to swell where the
teeth had punctured 1t. and Henry be-
came worried. He says he thinks 1t
possible that the pickerel may have
had hydrophobia and as precaution'
AIRY measure. he sent the head to the
Pasteur institute.

Mallory tucked Marjorie under his
