In tho Heart of a Tree.


Two men with axes chopped at the
trunk Of great Eastwood tree, and
then they went Mt the notch with a
long saw. one man at each end. The
tree stood in the forest along the
Montreal river in Wisconsin. The
men sawed away, and all of sudden
the saw raspcd on something hard
the tough heartwood doubtless. The
sawyers worked the harder, but it
was to no effect. The teeth of the
saw were blunted. and the men took
to the axes again.
Can you imagine what they found
when the tree had fallen with roar
that shook the surrounding woods
Their axes had uncovered the edge
of another ak blade. hidden in the liv-
ing tree, covered so deeply that no
mark had remained on the bark to
tell of what was within. The blade
must have been in its place for a cen
tury or more, while the wood was
growing about it and beyond. Its
owner must have been one of the ear
ly settlers or perhaps n French hunter.
The ak, still in its bed of Eastwood
will be kept on exhibition in the
Smithsonian institution at Washing.

The Game of Pairs,

Great fun may be got out Of the
game of pairs" Each boy chooses a
partner for himself The host, who
pretends he is a lawyer, walks up and
down the room in front Of the pairs,
asking questions Of any one he pleases.
The answers to his questions must be
made not by the one addressed, but by
his partner. If the girl be addressed
the boy promptly answers. For in
stance, the lawyer says, "What is your
favorite occupationY' to the boy. His
partner answers, "Dressing dolls" or
Making beds" He may ask a girl
what do you like best to do?" and
the boy by her side answers, playing
leapfrog," or some other masculine
sport. If any one answers out of turn
he or she mustNpay a forfeit. The
saucier the anse FRS the greater the
fun.

Among the Chickens.

No use to sputter about it and call
folks fools because they insist on hav-
ing white eggs. Just get yourself into
a position to cater to the taste and let
1t go at that.
Don't forget that meat is good to
make hens lay, but don't go crazy on
the meat question and give them too
much, for you can easily make them
sick. Meat two or three times week
is often enough.
Why not feed the laying hens some
potatoes, cabbage, turnips, etc, and
thus make them feel somewhat as
they did in the summer, when they
found plenty OF green material for
food? Then your egg basket would
also fill up as it did Sin the good old
summer time"

GARDEN SEED SOWING.
Hard TO Find Man Who Can Perform
Operations Properly.

Among the different gardening opera
tons there Is none more difficult than
seed sowing. To get a man who can
properly SOW both broadcast and with
hand drill all the various seeds is al
most hopeless task. The subject
needs close study to avoid heavy loss.
es, which may come either way by over
or underseeding or by entire failure.
Some operators would make us believe
that the time for broadcast sowing is
past absolutely. Such Is not the case.
There are times and subjects when
broadcast seeding is very successful.
The reason for this Is very plain upon
investigation. Broadcasted seed Is COW
cred at varying depths, so that under
almost all conditions q stand is obtain
ed. If the weather turns wet after
seeding those seeds nearest the surface
will sprout; if dry the deeply buried
ones will have their chance, while by
the drill method they are all uniformly
covered; hence If the weather turns un-
favorable for the depth at which they
were sown the whole lot may be fall
ure. Old market gardeners know from
experience that it Is easier to get n
stand OF lettuce. spinach. radish or tur-
nip by broadcastinS than by drilling;
hence the method is still in use. We
do not like broadcasting, but admit its
uses says Gardening.
10 operate seed drills successfully
requires close attention. Where Il very
thin stand is desired and Il drill set
very close il will be found that after
some time the machine has actually
sifted the seeds by allowing the small
ones to pass and rejecting the large
ones and thereby reducing the stand
for the last onp-half. Some machines
will not stand close regulation at all,
as they choke up unless the flow is lib
eral. When this is the case the only
way out is to proceed rapidly, thereby
reducing the time for the seed to roll
out. Where land is too rough for nice
work such machines as have a two
piece coverer can often be made to
work by removing one side of the Gov
ering device, thus allowing Clods to
pass. Another way to handle rough
land is to precede the drill with a sin
gle wheel hoe, using one slim cultiva-
tor tooth to open a mark and roll the
clods aside. This can be made to work
where nothing else will. Soils that
bake readily can be handled similarly
by opening a slight furrow, removing
the covering device entirely and de-
pending upon the roller to firm the seed
without covering. This permits the
weak seedlings to come up through the
crevices. There can be no greater mis-
take made than preparing land too fine
If it is liable to puddle and bake. A
certain amount Of roughness is abso-
lutely necessary to keep such soils
open.

In reply to a question by Represent

For q Washington's birthday party,
given for children between the ages Of
eight and fourteen, the following will
be sure to prove amusing:
Pictures of George Washington and
number of his generals, q drum, a
boat, a flag, tent, picture of Mount
Vernon and a cannon have been cut
out of white cardboard. Red, white
and blue crayons are to be given to
the children, with the request to dec
crate their designs. The latter are
chosen by binding the eyes with a
handkerchief and then leading the
child to the table. This method of OBJ
tanning the picture precludes any pref
erence. Allow half an hour for the
completing of the pictures. Each guest
is to keep the figure that he or she col
ors. Cut the sandwiches with hatch
ct shaped cutter, and the ice cream

FIND II DlN0SAURIA IN UTAH.
Or. Holland of Carnegie Institute Calls
1t Greatest Discovery Made.

1t Greatest Discovery Made.
DR.. W. ]. Holland, director Of the
Carnegie institute museum at Pitts
burgh, who is accounted the highest
authority in this country on the dip
lodocus and dinosaur has Just received
news Of archaeological discoveries in
Utah. DR.. Holland is known for his
work abroad in mounting the replicas
Of the frame Of the gigantic Diplodo-
Gus carnegil, which Andrew Carnegie
presented to the king Of England, en-
peror Of Germany, car Of Russia, the
kings Of Italy and Spain and the Aus
trian emperor, the doctor each time
being decorated with orders.
The doctor learns that strippings in
a quarry near Jansen, Utah, have re-
vealed the existence OF three or four
fossil dinosauria Of huge size, which
appear to be lying undisturbed. Up to
the present time the work Of excavat-
ing has disclosed nearly dozen skele-
tons, one-half OF which are practically
perfect, all the bones lying in place.
DR.. Holland says 1t is the greatest col
lection Of Sauropod dinosauria which
has ever been found in the history of
paleontology.
The quarry, which is under the su-
pervisiOn Of DR.. Holland, is nine miles
north OF Jansen. The bone level now
reached is in the bed Of an old river,
where cobblestones and shells abound
with the sand covering. 1t would seem
that the mammoth animals lay down
IN the river and food blanketed them
with stones and sand.

Did you ever head Of thread and
needle tree? 1t is rather handy tree
to have growing in the back yard. don,
you think, especially when there are
boys in the house with buttons coming
off about every other minute?
This strange tree grows in nearly all
tropical countries and in some places
nearer home where the climate is
warm. 1t gets its name by which we
know it from the curious formation of
its leaves. At the tip Of the leaf there
is a sharp thorn, which is the needle
If you grasp it firmly and pull it out
there you are with a needle already
threaded for your sewing. This fiber
thread is very strong, and the Mexi
cans use 1t for weaving a coarse kind
OF cloth as well as for sewing.

KIPLING ATTACKS HOME RULE,
Bitter Poem Against tho Irish Bill by
the Enalish Writer.

the English Writer.
Rudyard Kipling's slashing denuncia.
tory poem on the Irish home rule bin
Is entitled Ulster" 1t follows:
The dark eleventh hour
Draws on and sees US sold
To every evil power
We fought against Of old
Rebellion, rapine hate,
Oppression, wrong and greed =
Are loosed to rule our fate.
BY England's act and deed
The faith in which We stand,
The laws we make and guard,
Our honor, lives and land
Are given for reward
To murder done by night,
To treason taught by day,
To folly, sloth and spite,
And we are thrust away.
The next two stanzas of "Ulster" de-
clare the home rulers to be England g
foes. The poem concludes:
We know war is prepared
On every peaceful home;
We know he'll Is declared
For such as serve no Rome;
The terror. threats and dread
In market, hearth and field
We know when all is said.
We perish II we yield.
