How Trees Are Balanced.

"A tree grows In perfect balance on
every side. When q large branch
shoots out on one, side one OF equal
size or two smaller appear on the other.
The roots are balanced IN the same
way. a large branch on one side being
matched by large root. The center
Of gravity is thus always perfectly
maintained.

first question usually asked by the re-

special flashes Of brilliant play.
At the time they called this 1.-THE

naments were given under the system
The name. however, followed soon. and
its origin was a curious one. DR.
Thomas Browne, r. n, went out to
play against a friend. Major Charles
A. Wellman, and they agreed instead
Of playing directly against each other
to play against the ground score and
decide their match accordingly as each
Jared in this way. 1t so happened that
about the same time the bogy song
was being sung by the late E. j. Lon
men at the London Gaiety theater, and
everybody else was singing It The
words Of the refrain were:
HushI Hush! Hush!
Here comes the bogy man!
So hide your head beneath the clothes.
He'll catch you II he can.
There was the idea in golf. Hell
catch you if he canw And it flashed
across the mind Of Major Wellman
when he was playing this game and
was getting caught by the ground
score. why" said he to his friend

When Giving Money.

If you are sending money as a
gift, clever way to arrange it
is to fold the bill in such way
that only the portrait upon it
will show. Then place it in a
little frame such as can be had at
any general store, or make the
frame yourself by cutting an
oval or a square in the blank
side of an envelope and decorate
the envelope with a spray of
flowers done in water colors, or
some conventional design in gilt
paint.
Pack the valuable picture
in a pretty pasteboard box, tie it
with a bright colored ribbon and
label it "A Portrait of GRAFT. :"
or whosever picture is on the bill.
The donor of such gift will re-
ceive as much pleasure from it
as the person to whom the mon
ey is given.

estern Newspaper Union News Service.
Vera Cruz.-The attack on Tampico
mas failed and the rebel forces have
oeen forced to withdraw some dis
lance from the city. The lombard.
ment by federal gunboats and field
artillery routed the rebels, who left a
number Of their dead behind. In pos
session of the railroad yards through
out the battle, the rebels, when they
were driven of, remained sufficiently
cool In the face OF the furious fire to
take away with them every locomotive
and most of the rolling stock. That
the rebel loss was very great is EN-.
phasized by the fact that the buzzards
which inhabit the Mexican coast. and
which for generations have been pro-
tected by law, fioated over the battle
helds in numbers so great as to pre-
sent the appearance OF low-lying black
clouds.
According to the federal report 500
rebels were killed before they could
get out OF range, and this would mean
many other hundreds wounded left
behind. IL is regarded as probable
that the relief OF Tampico is ONLY
temporary, and that before many~days
the rebels will resume the attack in
greater numbers, although the three
days battle has III Iterially cut down

the Chicago Grain Exchange. The
bureau started with a membership of
ABOUT 100 farmers and merchants. Its
membership during the summer and
ialI has been nearly doubled. In each
district where meetings were held
loca! clubs were organized with a
president secretary-treasurer and
district representative. The local
clubs hold frequent meetings at which
problems OF the neighborhood and bet
