have been saved over the telephone.
Rev. J. w. Lentz. OF Orders, Breth-

arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
of bleeding 10 death. DR.. Meyers, al

Try a SINGLE Rose.

1--WE read" said Lucinda, about
how Adolphus brought Luella a great
bunch Of roses, and we can imagine
their beauty, we are left to guess at
their cost, but do you know 1t isn't
really necessary in order to make
home beautiful to have a bunch of
roses as big around as barrel; that
single lovely rose will do?
TRY this: If you have spent all your
money for hats and gloves and Adol.

would say hasn't come to the bat
stop at the florists and buy single
rose, it will cost very little, and take
that home and set it in the proper
vase, it's red petals and green leaves
to please the eye and its fragrance to
fill the room, an individual flower OF
grace and beauty and joy.

Forks of Trees.

Some people through careless ooser-
walton believe that the fork OF forest
tree will gradually grow higher from the
ground. If they would investigate il
would be found that the forks and
"heads" OF fruit trees are at exactly the
same point where they were when first
noted.
The state forester in inspecting locust
and catalpa groves throughout the state
has found owners who have not removed
one part of the fork of those trees that
have formed forks below the fencepost
length, believing that in years the fork
would grow up and fencepost could he
cut below the fork. This erroneous be-
lief is the cause of so much OF the delay
and neglect of pruning in early life oil
street and roadside trees.
II should be remembered that the base
OF fork or branch Of tree will always
remain at the same distance above the
ground. The side branches OF some trees,
such as the elm, usually continue to grow
upward. while those Of other trees, such
as the NAPLES, incline upward when young
and as the tree grows older the weight OF
the branches gradually brings it to the
horizontal. The latter often makes the
removal of large branches necessary,
which not only spoils the symmetry OF
the tree, but usually starts decay, which
soon kills the tree.

A special study OF the manufactures
and uses of denatured alcohol in the prin-
cipal countries of Europe will be made
this summer by an agent OF the bureau OIL
foreign and domestic commerce. The
countries to be covered by the proposed
investigation will be those which make
the most extensive and intelligent use of
this alcohol. The investigator will delve
into all branches OF this industry. He
will look into the sources, manufacture,
governmental inspection and encourage
ment, and all matters of interest from the
standpoint OF its production, together
with its various applications in different
lines OF industry, the cost TO consumers
and its relative merits as liquod fuel for
internal combustion engines. 1t is ex-
pected that the report will be ready for
publication in the fall.

SEEING the Bright Side.

There are compensations for living
in New Jersey, even where the mos
quitoes hang like clouds over the resi-
dents. At least, this is the mental at
titude of a siX-year-old boy, whose
home is in Montciair. His brother OF
nine was born in New York city, but
he was a Montclair baby. One day he
was being leased about being a "Jer
sey country pumpkin"
The youngsters eyes were flooded
with tears for moment and then his
face frightened and he smiled.
81 like New Jersey better" said he
proudly.
"Why?" queried the teaser.
Because / can i've turtles as pets
in New Jersey? If l lived in New
York they would be taken away from
me-"
The teaser soon learned that 1t was
against the New York law to keep tur-
ties in captivity, but in New Jersey
it was not. The boy was very fond
Of his turtles, Of which he had three,
and they were his consolation for be-
ing Jersey country pumpkin"

When the United States Supreme Court

When the United States Supreme Court
sustained the 2-cent passenger fare law
of West Virginia, it virtually placed in
the pocket of John J.. Conway. of Hunt
ington, approximately $500. When the
law was enacted by the West Virginia
Legislature in 1907, the railroads appeal
ed TO the courts and continued to charge
3 cents mile, giving passengers cou-
pons emitting them to a rebate OF one
cent mile if the courts decided The two
cent law was constitutional. Conway,
who was Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
way ticket agent, noticed that many per-
sons threw the coupons away, and real
izing that they might some day be good
he began 10 collect them. The decision
found him with about 5000 worth OF
perfectly good coupons in his possession.

owners of Martinsburg automobiles never

Commissioner, found more licenses I'M

Sound Philosophy.

OF all methods Of making anoth-

the worst is to tell him that he will
'have to" do something. How often
do We hear, "You will have to go

have to go into the other cal" "
~You will have to wait an hour -
"You will have to write the general

ent," and the ikel Primarily We
are all free agents and don't "have

find it expedient or necessary to a
certain end, but we don't even
"have to" eat if we don't want to.

another manner, such as, "The 9TH

BEAUTY DOCTORS NEW BUG
Discovers That Woman's Good Looks
Are Regulated Largely by
Thermometer.

The photographers schedule was
disarranged half an hour because it
took that long to get the studio ex-
actly at temperature of 20 degrees.
"And the thermometer had to reg
lister just that before the woman who
made an appointment for three
O'Clock would consent to pose," he
said. women who sit for photo
graphs are very particular nowadays
about the temperature of the room.
Beauty doctors have discovered that
a woman's good looks are regulated
largely by the thermometer. There
Is certain degree of heat or cold
at which every woman looks her best
By experimenting the beauty spe-
cialist has found the becoming tenn
perature for each of his patrons, and
when the women visit a photogra-
pher no power on earth can persuade
them to ST. in a studio whose air is
above or below that figure. When
you handle succession of subjects
whose beauty temperature varies
from 60 to so degrees it is not an
easy matter to regulate atmospheric
csnditions on short notice"

AN ENGLISH BLIZZARD.


There was a certain Hercules en-,
glne which cut noble figure in the
English blizzard of 1886.
To appreciate the role played by
the Hercules some idea must be
given of the effect of the storm or
other methods of travel. Fourteen
mail coaches were abandoned on a,
many roads Another vas dug out
of drifts five times between Exeter
and London.
Another was buried SO deep that
it took 800 men, principally sappers
and miners, several hours to make g
passage to the coach and rescue the
mails and passengers, while near
Chatham the snow lay toa .deoth of
thirty or forty feet, the military be-
ing turned out to the number OF
600 to clear the way.
In London the drifts were ten
feet deep, and hundreds of men and
carts were employed hauling sncw
cut to the fields in the suburbs. The
markets were i'll bad way. One
day only four stall holders were
able to reach main market. Greens
which a few days before the storm
were being sold for threepence a
bunch at market now fetched from
tenpence to a shilling, turnips, car
rots and celery becoming equally
dear, while penny handfuls ofgpars-
ley realized 2s. 3d., and the happy
possesSor of a bunch which he had
previously purchased for ninepence
realized for his prize no less a sum
than f1 2s. Sd.
Amid all this confusion the pio-
neer railways covered themselves
with glory by running trains almost
without interruption. There was a
deep cutting on one line where the
snow had drifted badly, and great
numbers of people turned out to
see how the Hercules engine would
get along. They imagined, of course,
that she would be stopped, but to
their astonishment the engine DASH
ed right into the drift, clearing
her way through apparently with
out the slightest difficulty, the snow
at the same time flying over the top
Of the engine chimney like foam
from the broken waves of violent
sea, and Notwithstanding obstruc-
tions the train came down from
Greenhead (twenty miles) in one
hour and a quarter" - London
