Chattanooga Is Proud.

Chattanooga is proud OF the honor
of being allowed to entertain the

the veterans of the North the old bat
tie grounds on which are still visible
wars scars inflicted fifty years ago, to
do everything in its power TO make the
reunion OF these yeterans-groWing
fewer and fewer in number as the
years roll by-happy and memorable in
every way.
In connection with the reunion OF

tunate that at the same time the Ma.

in progress in Knoxville. distant from
Chattanooga just Ill miles by rail.
Therefore it is that Knoxville. the

men and women to visit that city dur

very attractive The exposition man

OLDEST TREE is ON cos
1t Measures 30 Feet In circumference
and 10 Mors Than 1000
Years Old. r,Ty-

Tho tallest trees in the world are
the Australian eucalypti, which attain
an altitude Of 4s0 feet. The biggest
are the mammoth trees Of California.
some Of which are 276 to, s73; feet in
height, and 10S feet in circumference
at the base. From measurements of
the rings 1t is believed that certain
OF these trees are from 1000 to $500
years old. The oldest tree in the
world Is said to exist on the island of
Cos on the coast of Asia Minor. It IL
several thousand years old, but just
how many no one has dared to say.
The tree is carefully preserved by q
wall OF masonry around it, and the
trunk Is thirty feet in circumference.
But there are parts OF trees in the
form of useful timber which are even
older, probably, than any on the
stump. Beams in old buildings are
preserved today, which are known to
be over a thousand years old. Piles
driven by the Romans prior to the
Christian era are. perfectly sound to-
day, and 1t is known that they have
been immersed in water for upward Of
two thousand years.
Some woods have remarkably dur.
able properties when immersed in wa
ter. They decay rapidly on the stump,
many rotting in from FIVE to ten
years. but when immersed In water
they last longer than iron or steel.
An effort has been made by our gov.
ernment to preserve woods indefinite
ly by treating them with oils and tar
products. Already telegraph poles and
railway ties have had their average
life extended from five to ten years
by this process.-Harper's.

COUNTRY GIRLS EASY MONEY
Picture Frames Made From Cardboard
and Neatly Painted Find Ready
SaIe-To Try Again.
tBy MARIE JoHANsEN.)

(By MARIE JOHANSEN)
At school last year, made pic.
ture frame and gave 1t to little girl
who lived near us. She was very glad
to get it. One day her father came
to our house and asked me to make a
few frames for him; SO got the card
board, painted and cut them out, fin
ishing them as nicely as could. When
gave them to Mr.. -, he said:
You ought to make more of these:
I'm sure you could find ready sale,
and work up a good trade"
Il was glad to have him say so, be-
cause l had long wanted to find some
way of earning my pin money.
started in making the frames in two
sizes; the largest marked ten cents,
the small ones five cents. and sold
quite a number.
Near our house is curve, where
three roads come together. l went
over there and put up little bench
fastening in front of it a sign SO that
everybody that came along would
know what was selling. Nearly every
one bought one, and most took two
or more frames. This summer shall
try 1t again, making three sizes.

TIPS FOR THE COUNTRY BOY
Several Little Things That II VIII
Profit Any Youth to Remember
and Put In Practice.

Never allow mother to lift any
heavy thing nor do any other hard
work that you can do for her.
Your sister is the finest girl in the
country, isn't she? Never fail to let
her know you think SO.
A shoe-blacking outfit is good in
vestment any way you put it, SO long
as you use 1t frequently.
Never be afraid of plenty of good
fresh air. Shove the windows up.
Put on all the bedclothes you need to
keep warm, but let in the pure air.
There is life and health in 1t.
II you decide to swear of" on any
bad habits New Year. keep it to your
self. Don't tell anybody except moth
er. Telling your troubles to her is
Just telling the better part Of your
self.
Crosscut saws hung away when all
wet will be rusty the next time you
want to use them. Wipe them of
well and hang them where they will
dry off II they have been out In a
storm. Rusty saws call for more
strength, and few Of us have any to
waste that way.
Take a saw set and hammer with
you when you go, to the woods to
work with big saws. You may save a
lot of hard work by keeping your
saws in good order.

In Case of Emergency.

In every well-ordered household a
box of bandages should be kept in
case Of accident. Bandages should
be torn from old linen or muslin and
wound tightly in rolls. They should
be of various widths. Also supply
stout, narrow strips for tying. 1t is
advisable to place these bandages in
the oven for few minutes to sterilize
them. Then place in hot, wide
mouthed preserve jar and screw on
the lid while ali are still hot.

PerseVere ALWAYS.

No talent will enable us to do any
work worth while without drudgery,
give 1t up because it is hard. No work
can be well done by any one who is
unwilling to sacrifice ease to its ac-
complishment. Perseverance is not
only the price of success, but the price
of manhood also.

Pigeons as Dispatch Carriers.

During the siege of Paris carrier
pigeons proved of great practical use
in carrying messages. These were

licles of collodion which were in

tail feathers. Now there is a mill
tary pigeon system controlled by the

Household Hint,

Straw mating suitcases and shop
ping bags can be very much improved
in looks and usefulness by a coat of
cheap wagon varnish, which makes
them waterproof. A good wetting will
generally SPOIL them, but the varnish
causes them to shed water like a duck.
This should be done once year.
