 In spite of this early disposition for religious work he decided to become a physician and was graduated from the New York Medical college in 1S15. While attending to the bodily welfare of his patients he took very active part in the work of the Franklin Street Reformed church. Among the luke warm Christians whose enthusiasm he undertook to rekindle was Mrs Ruth Waterbury, a widow, at whose home he was boarding. As the result of his proselyting Harriet Waterbury became his wife and fellow missionary.
 In 1919 the American board of mis- sions wished to send a physician to Ceylon and began advertising for q suitable person. Dr. Scudder offered himself and was accepted.

 The Scudders had 10 children who grew to maturity John Scudder began then his missionary work in earnest without neglectlng his medical duties.

generally followed in the Mozambique and other northern districts. There the bark is stripped from the roots of the vines or from the vines and Is cooked over a slow fire and pounded until the bark is finally pounded out, leaving a mass of rubber in all stages of crud- fly. This rubber Is known as Mozam- bique rooty. It is classed very low, but a large concern now operating In the Mozambique district has perfected the system of bounding to the point of producing q rubber which is rapidly approaching the classification of Mo- zambique pink.
 strange truth has come to light in regard to the landolphia, and that is, that while vines are frequently killed by incision or tapping, this seldom hap pens with the vine which Is cut down almost to the ground after maturity. It is also 6 notable fact that large sec tions of the root of vine can be dug up and cut off without killing the Hne. In the Mozambique district there are places where natives have been cutting roots from the same vines year after

Planting Trees for Ties

The scarcity of timber for railroad ties has become so great, and the price charged for them Is so high that the Pennsylvania system has adopted a scheme of raising trees for it's owf use. More than 4,500,00 of trees have been planted by this company in the past 10 years. Last year alone 515,703 trees were transferred from the companys < nursery at Morrisvile, Pa. to perma- nent places on railroad property Tho present. stock at the nursery. which in- cudes 36 acres of ground. is 2,296, ,S33, of which 2,072,166 are forest trees, and 22b667 ornamental plants Steel has largely taken the place of trees for building material, and in some places for railroad ties, but the destruction of the forests of this country has been cruel and wicked, and the national health and wealth will be promoted by the replanting of trees

Dr. Thomas Specs Darlington aims in his book, Fresh Air and How to Use It." 10 show how an abundance of fresh air is within the reach of everyone, whether he be a millionaire owner of a country house, or q dweller in a city ten ement Probably no more complete com pendulum of information on how to get fresh air in the home at all times has ever been published.

world of Paris. and in an unfortunate hour he gives a glimpse of this phase of the city to a young Englishman of weak character and little courage. who has wearied of the usual gaieties of Partisan life.
 Young D'Argminac becomes enam- ored of the life. Is soon an associate of the worst criminals, and finally he plays once too often with fire and to save himself turns informer. This is the situation when the Duke de Sous pennier learns that this chance ac- quaintance. who is in difficulties and won't be kept out of them, is none other than the brother of the woman he means to marry.
 To disclose more of the plot would be to lessen the readers enjoyment of the story it must suffice to say that this is just the sort of thrilling TO- nance compounded of love, mystery and adventure of which the American public never wearies.
 The skill of Anthony Partridge im- proves with each successive book, and he Is now reclxoned among the fayorite novelists of the day.
 THE BARMECIDES FEAST" By John Gore Illustrated by Arthur
 Penn. The John Lane Company New
 York.
 On one point every reader of "rhe Barmecide's Feast" will agree, and tha' Is that the author, John Gore, has an unmistakable and Irresistible sense of humor.
 Can you doubt 1t when he makes his hero say such things of himself as these:
 My nose was supple rather than strong and My mouth was tender and eurled naturally"
 Pretty good start, isn't 1t, for some fun?
 The story of "The Barmecide Feast Is told in the first person, by Sir Rupert l Barmecide, a young gentleman of many charms and attractions-accordtng to his own statement-and who inherits a great fortune. The fun commences with this episode | in the life of the young fellow, and l from that moment all sorts of terrible things happen-wicked people try to swindle him out of his fortune his father included, and the perils and ad- ventures that tho young hero is sub | jected to is nothing short of modern 1 fairy tale
 The author has burlesqued his sub- 1 ject in the cleverest possible manner and he has injected enough mystery and sensational incident to make the story very readable.
 Toward the close of the book Sir Ru- pert begs for just one word more namely:
 "The whiskers and boards used in this narrative were all supplied by w Clarkson. of Wardour street"

 (RBVIEWED FOR THE BOOK
 SHELF" BY MIR CLYDE ". ENNIS.
 Those readers of Kennedy Square, Peter" "The Adventures of Oliver Horn" will delight in reading this latest novel by the popular writer, MT. F. Hopkinson Smith. In none of his clever books has that most versatile of authors scared to such heights of description as in "The Arm Chair At The Inn" The scenes are laid in an old Normandy Inn. The characters, all ar- lists, meet there after the fashionable season, as is their annual custom. The merit of the book is found in the ad- ventures, all personal and truthful, that are recounted by the eminent fel- lows around the company.
 Unusual appreciation will be felt by any reader in Louis, the water color painter in Herbert. the most thoughtful of them all; in Chromois, mine host who is al ways clever; clever fellow and High Muck whom 1t may be taken Is MT Smith himself. on account of his modesty and infrequency of story telling.
 The trend of love running through the book is between bewitching maid and fisherman. The artists and that adorable woman. Madam la Marquise are the cupids of that marriage.
 The thrilling stories related. the comradeship there shown, the power of the writer in giving color and life to the entire situation, not to speak of that most happy of marriages are all features of this thoroughly charming book, which will be read with delight One may almost see the richly fur t.lx 74..f, raA alf 1Act h. temp ted to stretch one's hand out tc get warm before the blazing fire--ir fact. the pen of the author has been used at It's best in The Arm Chair"
 Mir. Smith is so intensely southern that book by him without log fire and a duel would seem contrary to his way of handling a situation.

THE PRISON FLOWER


 "A ROMANCE OF THE CONSULATE AND EMPIRE" By Romaine Callen- der Richard G. Badger. The Cor ham Press, Boston.
 No more beautiful or romantic story has been written of late years than "The Prison Flower-A Romance of the Consulate and Empire" by Romaine Calender.
 Laid in the time of Napoleon, with all the delightful environments of that period, the author has the opportunity, which he takes advantage of to a striking degree, of depicting certain phases of this wonderful mans charac- ter, and that of the inimitable Jose phine, of whom we never grow tired
 The notorious B'ouehe plays an i'm portant part in the story, the develop ment of which is cleverly wrought and admirably conceived.
 There is a romance and beauty con nected with the story that makes it interesting from beginning to end and the character of Charles Neramont, Count de Charnay. the hero of the book is well delineated and the best best points of the authors imagination have been given full play in the re- cital of the story.
 "The Prison Flower" is one of tho best novels of the day and will no doubt have a large following of readers.

that several golfing enthusiasts are
working on plan for several inter-

below the local players In ability, on
account Of lack Of practice, are more
than willing to try conclusions with
the town contingent for the sake OF
good sport. The suggestion was made
some time ago that Leilehya and
