Head-tired people and muscle
tired people are in two different
classes. What is recreation for one
is not recI IeatIon for the other. 1t is
notorious that head-tired people are
likely to shrink from the very exer-
else that they should seek.
Head WEAKNESS produces a ten
dency to avoid all initiatory move
ments. At the same time the shrink
ing of the head-tired person is, to q
certain extent. prompted by neces-
sary caution. The exercise taken up
by person who has been exercising
the brain without the body should be
exercise that animates the body
without taxing the brain. The exer-
cise should be thoroughly recreative.
1t should be of a kind requiring
little fatiguing that, though the
changed attention has its value in re-
lieving the brain.
Exercise taken by a person who
has been undergoing no serious tax
on the brain system might profitably
keep up lively union between the
intelligence and the muscles. Stimu-
lus will help a worried mind, but
when the mind has performed a great
deal Of detailed labor, excitement of
any kind is not good thing. Sleep
is much better, for it is in this state
that ono comes as near absolute rest
as it is possible, though even in this
state the mind often works doubly
hard. Get the habit of living the
happy medium. little play. little
work and a little rest. but not too
much of any one.

RAY FOR STATE AUDITOR.
Pgisce George countian Said to be
Slated for Office Vacant Nearly a


When the Board of Public Works
meets on January ., the indications
are that j. Enos Ray. of Prince
Georges county. a former Speaker of
tne House of Delegates. will be
elected State Auditor. thus ending
the deadlock which has existed over
this Office since last February.
The selection of Mr.. Ray, il is r. :
ported. will be acceptable to Arthur
z. German. who is responsible for
the continued vacancy in the Office
because of his demand that John F.
. MalleY his chief lieutenant in How
ard county. should be elected, and
the remarkable attitude of Mr.. Van
diver that German was entitled TO
name the Auditor.
Mr.. Ray is highly satisfactory TO
Comptroller Harrington and Treasurer
Vandiver, the two Democratic men,
bers of the board. and to the state
and city organization leaders. For
weeks leading Democrats have rea-
lized that the factional and personal
fight over the authorship was having
serious effect on the party, and
they have been trying TO agree
upon a compromise candidate.
This could not be done because
Mr. pandiver refused To move until
Mr.. German named the man and
German refused to name anyone
save O'Malley, for whom Harring-
ton would not vote German. il is
now said, has agreed 10 Ray. and
Vandiver will vote for him. Ray
maintains friendly relations with all
the organization leaders. and thus
his election, it is asserted, will not
stir up any factional serife. He is
also friend of Senator Smith.

to the location being the proper one,
although at one time no less than six
towns near Boston and one in Maine
were claiming the honor of having pos
sessed the original Baldwin tree AS
1t Is. the surviving members OF the
Buffers family believe they should not
be ignored. as it was a Buffers who
first domesticated this variety, and the
Thompsons naturally think that the
apple should really bear their name,
as Thompson was first to start it on
its road to fame.
The whole question as to the origin
Of the apple had become such an in
volved one that the state legislature
took hand In the fifties and appoint
ed committee to investigate the mat
ter This committee determined what
1T believed to be the exact location OF
the original tree on the Buffers farm
and marked it on the state map of
Wilmington.

Discard Military Uniform.

Old Berliners are lamenting the
gradual disappearance of military uni
forms from the streets. A quarter of
a century ago more officers and SOL
diers in uniform were to be met with
in the principal thoroughfares than
civilians, while now. though the Ber-
lin garrison is far larger. the presence
of the uniform is hardly noticeable
The main cause Of the change is the
increased cost of living. Tradition
and custom require that the officer In
uniform shall frequent only the best
restaurants. sit in parquet seats in the
theater. and In general spend money
freely. Few officers possess private
means, while the pay of all ranks is
small, and the result is that II the Of
ficer or soldier Is to have any enjoy
ment or recreation In the capital he
can have It only by clothing himself
like the ordinary citizen who can suit
his expenditure to his meanR

The judge pursed his lips and
frowned
But now she's come on for a visit
with Roy, and expects him to rush

"Well?" The judges tone grew
ominous
well, don't you see what we've

Evelyn. And you can't get out OF it.

we're to meet her at dinner tonight

Mind, will not make love to her."
protested the judge.
It was his final word in the mat
ter. That evening he met Miss Diane
lie Moyne. Now the judge confessed
to fifty-two, and was mighty proud
of his modest belt line, his hand
some carriage and way with the fair
sex, as he still called his undeniable
chivalry. He surveyed Miss Diane
in frank admiration 1t seemed alto
gether impossible that this tall, slen-
der figure could be Roy's old maid
aunt Clad in gray velvet she was.
So much the judge guessed, but his
masculine mind failed to grasp the
full intent and charm of the cut steel
and lace overdress. the dull silver
band set with rubies in the beautiful
gray waves of hair, and all the other
points of interest, as Evelyn would
have called them. He only saw an
interesting face, full o. sympathetic
response, and the loneliness that
comes only from the inner grace OF
a well-poised character.

zEBRA-D0NKEY A SUCCESS

The creation OF a new type Is al
ways interesting; the effort OF the gov
eminent to breed zebra-donkey, or
zebra-horse is particularly so since
t.ey already appear measurably sue
cessfuI. The animal breeders OF the
department OF agriculture were Inn
pressed some years ago with the
splendid conformation, large size and
great beauty of the big Grevy zebra
which was presented to President
Roosevelt by King Menelik OF Abys-
sinia, and which found home at the
National Geological park at Washing
ton. The zebra was bred to donkeys
and the resulting hybrids are appar-
emily great successes. half dozen
colts and FLIES now poking their
noses over the fences at visitors to
the zoo. So far as markings are con-
cerned they show somewhat faint re-
productions of the strongly marked
black and white stripes OF the zebra
stallion, but their parentage is evident.
They are, however. as hardy. appar-
emily, and endure the climate OF
Washington as well as the donkeys.
The striking feature OF the cross
breeding is that the hybrids show
decided improvemen in other respects
over both parents in action, conforma-
ton and disposition. The Grevy stall
lion weighs 500 pounds and is 1914
lands high, and while he is beauty,
he is not particularly affectionate; on
the contrary he is vicious. The aver
age weight of the donkey dams is $50,
twelve hands high. The weight of the
hybrids when only year old vas 500
and they stood twelve hands high.
They have good action, a neat, clean
cut appearance, and are as gentle as
horses foals of the SAM age.
The hybrids ought to be tough. for
the zebra in Africa is about the tough
est thing In the horse line In the
world. and he apparently loses none
of these qualities by change OF resi-
dence. The hybrids. then, should de-
velop into animals with much greater
endurance than the mule, and should
be almost as large.
The zebra in Africa is immune to
many diseases and pests which kill OF
horses and mules, and 1t is expected
that the new hybrids will prove them
selves more hardy and disease resist
ant than even the famous Missouri
army mule.

DEATH HARVEST OF JUNGLE

Deaths from attacks by wild ami
mails in India are increasing in num-
Der. Rising waters have driven SER
penis from the lowland Jungles up to
the villages, and have diminished
through drowning the natural food
supply of the larger wild beasts. Over
1000 persons were killed in 1910 by
elephants, tigers, hyenas, bears. leo
pards, wolves, wild pigs and other
animals. Over $4,000 were killed by
snakes. The grand total of mortality
was nearly $4,000 persons. At the
same time $4,000 cattle were killed by
snakes and wild beasts. The inhabi-
tants of the jungle also suffered by re-
prisals on the part of their human enc
mics. Ninety-one thousand snakes
and $4,000 wild beasts were killed.

MEMORIAL TO APPLE TREE

Probably the Baldwin apple is the
best known variety in existence. For
over a century 1t has been widely
eaten and in spite of the fact that
scores OF other sorts have come into
the market to dispute it's popularity,
1t is still the favorite among a great
many growers and consumers.
There has long been a dispute about
the discovery of the original tree and
the controversy has not yet been set
tied to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned. The fact seems to be, how
ever. that certain Williams Buffers,
nvlng IN the town of Wilmington,
MASS, about fourteen miles north OF
boston, found a prolific tree growing
IN the woods and transpianted it to
ms Iarm. That was long before the
Revolutionary war. Years afterward
samuel Thompson, a revolutionary
veteran, came across the tree while on
a surveying expedition. At that time
IL nao been made the home of family
OF Woodpeckers and the birds had
pecKed row of holes around it. For
tAdt reason Colonel Thompson often
referred to it as the pecker tree. He
carried some Of the fruit home, and
the members Of his family were so
Pleased with the apples that he visited
the tree again and cut number of
sclons, which were grated onto trees
In his orchard. When these trees be-
gan to bear fruit, some OF the apples
were given to Col Loammi Baldwin,
neighbor, who was so much impressed
with the quality and flavor that he cut
many scions from the old tree and be-
gan propagating new stock on a large
scale. This stock was spread broad
cast in Massachusetts, and as a COM
pliment to Colonel Baldwin his friends
gave his name to this apple.
The Buffers farm house still stands
and depression in the ground not far
away is pointed out as the place where
the father of all Baldwin apple trees
formerly stood, the original tree itself
having been blown down in a terrific
gale early in the last century.
In 1895 the Rumford Historical as
ISOLATION erected a monument to mark
the site Of the old tee. The square
granite shaft is surmounted by great
stone apple to represent perfect spe-
cimen of the Baldwin variety The
date OF the discovery OF the pecker"
tree is given on the monument as
1893. but there is considerable doubt
as to the correctness OF this date.
.There Is little question, however. as

EVOLUTION OF THE CAPITAL
Expenditure on All New Buildings OF
Hewn Granite Has Been Ungrudg-
ingly Lavish.

The authorization OF three new de.
partment buildings, designed to be
seen together and accordingly harmon.
lied in their architecture, is the long
est single step thus far taken in the
evolution of yirginian village into a
city worthy to be the capital and show
place OF the second in population and
the first in wealth of modern nations.
Zone excerpts from the comparison,
for different but obvious reasons. the
British and the Chinese Empires. y
He who visits Washington, says a
writer in Scribners, now after ten
years, who has not seen 1t, say, since
just after the war with Spain, finds so
great transformation that he is fam
to take his bearings anew from the
ancient landmarks, and is relieved to
find the capitol and the monument
still predominant. Even after five
years one finds the new monuments,
architectural and sculptural, vying in
interest with the old. But the decade
is a more eligible period than the
lustrum for the purpose of comparison
because 1t Is ten years since the SEN
ate authorized its district committee
to employ experts for the improve
ment Of the park system OF the Dis
trict of Columbia
A chief element of ones wonder is
the costliness of the new building.
Probably the first thought of the aver
age American, visiting or revisiting
Washington, is that of Mrs Carlyle's
domestic at the sight of the engraving
of the Sistine Madonna, "Lor, mum,
how expensive!" The expenditure on
all these new expanses of hewn gran
lite or marble has been not only un-
grudging but lavish. The three new
department buildings which form the
immediate occasion of these remarks
are estimated to cost sS,O00,OO0

GLASS EGG DIET KILLS DOG

Jackson ABBY of Lawrenceburg, Ind.
was firm in the belief that his thor
oughbred English bloodhound had been
poisoned. Veterinarians confirmed his
suspicious. After the hound died its
body was cut open and four nest eggs
of the glass variety were found in the
stomach. Axby had put the eggs in
nests to encourage his hens to lay. He
noticed recently the supply of eggs
had fallen off. although the hens ap-
peared to be in laying condition. It
is believed the dog had been sucking
the eggs. and failing with the glass
variety, swallowed them.
