Most of the handles of canes, alpen-
stocks, parasols and umbrellas used in
France are grown in nurseries. Ash,
maple, oak, chestnut and other woods
are used. In the early part of the first
year after planting the young trees
are cut near the ground to bring about
the formation of numerous sprouts,
The lower branches are removed. and

Early in the spring the sprouts are
subjected to surgical operation,
Their bark is cut, and the wood is

relief as the tree develops. Special in
struments are used for the cutting and

Heart toHeart
Talks.
RICH AND UNHAPPY.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.

To the woman or the house:
Are you tired of your daily drudgery +?
Does the monotony of your work,
which is never done, wear you to the
edge of revolt?
Does the utter uselessness Of doing
things over and over again loom large?
Are you wishing for riches and raj
ment and leisure and luxury and
travel?
Then consider this woman.
Sophie Irene Loeb tells about her.
She has abundant wealth and leisure,
and yet she is discontented and dis
satisfied.
This woman has everything life can
give save one thng-happiness She
is never at peace Her breakfast Is
brought to her bed A maid dresses
her Servants cater to her slightest
wish.
She travels much and has the most
expensive staterooms in the steamers
hotels. But
She has nothing to do.
In consequence she is always discon-
tented and wishing for something, she
knows not what. She gets lonesome
and feverish and fretful and is con-
stantly asking, whats the use of it

This woman says:

son. She fills a need. | wander about

Why doesn't she go to work?
'That's just it, she says. Where
would be the incentive the need? Be-
sides, don't know how to begin.
would have to make myself need to
work, and can't make believe"
Do you see?
This woman has more wealth and
more leisure than she knows what to
do with. She does not know the JOY
of the worker. the compensation that
comes with task well done.
Which is the happier?
You with your commonplace task or
she with her leisure?
You answer, of course, there is such
thing as a happy medium between
extreme wealth and poverty. And so
there is. And you, probably, are nei-
Their poverty stricken nor rich.
Can you not subtract from the sting
of your discontent-which, after all. is
but OCCASIONALLY this glimpse into the
life of one extreme?

Plucky Birds,

Compared with mammals. parental
love is stronger in birds. In protecting
their nests and young, birds often
show courage and strategy, more or
less of which is doubtless inherited.
Even the SO called dangerous man
mails. the bears. mountain lions, wild
cats and other mammals that are best
able to protect themselves, seldom
make stand against domestic intru-
sion. Rarely do they attempt to en-
tee an enemy from their home by
strategic means. but at the first warn
ing of danger they either hide or watch
the intruder from a safe distance. But
there are very few species of birds
that do not attempt to defend their
homes in some way, and even the most
timid evince more intelligence than
most mammalS.-Colliers.
