Alice Had Hit Upon His Own Design.

magic when the first green sprouts
appeared. And after a while a tiny
bloom made it's appearance in the
flower garden.
Nov, Jim, no looking" said Alice
mischievously.
"But-hang it, Alice, you're not 60
ing to keep me out Of the garden the
whole summer, are your" he asked.
But Jim, you can look from afar.
And you can walk on the lawn Only,
you must not come up to the flower
beds. Because have a big surprise
for you in preparation"
It must be confessed that Jim did
look. And as the flowers bloomed and
the whole garden became one riotous
OF blossoms, he began Emporium
- Vice more and more frequently
M j allowed to see his surprise. At
last she fixed upon the following Sat
urday.
Meanwhile Jim had not been idle.
He, too, had prepared q little surprise
for Alice. He had taken advantage of
her permission to plant flowers, and,
with great dexterity, had placed a bed
of sweet alyssum, as a compliment to
her, setting it out in such a way that
the arrangement Of the flowers
spelled out the letters Of her name.
When the green leaves appeared and
actually grew true his delight was
unbounded.
One of the hardest things he had
to do was to remember the various
vegetables. He had hit upon an in
genious method of overcoming this
difficulty-he had planted them alpha
betically. Beginning at the tool shed
were artichokes; then came the as
paragus-not to bloom till the second
year; beans, beets, Brussels sprouts,
and cabbages, ranging all the way
down to turnips and watermelons.
There was no vegetable listed on the
catalogue after watermelons, SO he
concluded that that growth was al
phabetically the last that was known
to science.
This method proved highly satisfac-
tory, too, for it would have been i'm
possible for him, city-bred as he was,
to have distinguished the succulent
turnip from the radish or peanut, I'M
less he could have pulled it out by
the roots and examine 1t.
Saturday came. Jim was in a fer
ment of excitement when his wife led
him into the garden. He shifted the
breeze, laden with fragrant odors, and
1t smelled very good to him. Alice
led him to q corner where some deli
cately tinted flowers were Drichng
thsir way up through the mud.

THE USEFUL IBiRCH
Great Service This Tree Is Render
ing People OF America

ing ffopte OF America.
| From furnishing material for q canoe In
which 10 hunt whales some hundred odd
years ago, TO supplying New England
factories OF to-day with 1000 cords OF
wood annually for shoe pegs and shanks,
is, according to the department of agricul-
turs. only part OF the services the birch
tree has rendered and is rendering the
people OF America.
Sir Alexander Mackenzie. the depart
| ment says, in bulletin just issued on tho
uses Of birch, hunted bales in a birch
bark canoe. The animals were found at
the mouth Of the Mackenzie river. lie
failed TO strike the game, and concluded
that IL was probably for the best. While
The canoes are frail, il is pointed oGt that
the bark OF which they are made resisis
decay longer than amy other part of the
| tree.
II would be difficult, the department
/ says, to estimate the value OF the service
of the birch bark canoe In the discovery.
exploration, development and settlement
OF the northern part of this continent.
From the Arctic circle to the Great Lakes,
and southwark, for a century and half,

lion y here no OF her boat raui1 20. -hs
French explorers aud mission lFlsA made
journeys OF hundreds OF miles in these
canoes. often carrying eargoes which
wodId seem beyond the capacity of such
/ traii vessels.
| The range OF uses TO which birch wood
| is put is surprisingly large. According &c
/ the department, the articles into which IL
goes range from church pews TO kitchen
| tables, and from organ pipes to newel
posts. We may have our first sleep In q
birch crib and our last in birch coffin.
| The spoois on which we get our cotton
and silk thread are birch spools. and the
lasts on which our shoes are made are
likely to be birch lasts. The largest OF
the spools hold i2,0oo yards, the smalles,
twenty yards. The woods beauty,
strength, and rigidity make it prominent
as q material for musical instruments, and
the same qualities bring 1t into extensive
/ use for flooring.
| Many people have an idea that shoe
pegs have nearly passed out OF OF use, but
the amount Of birch previously mentioned
as made into pegs and shsnks yearly In
New England seems to disproye this no.
ton. Birch, the department says, is often
put on the market in imitation OF Other
woods, and we may open many door, sit
in many a chair and write on many q
desk which we imagine to be mahogany
but which is really birch stained to re-
sembie the genuine article.
Nine species OF birch grow in the United
States, but sweet, yellow, paper and river
birch are those most used. About a, 600,
600 board feet OF the wood finds its way Il
the market yearly. Paper birch Is one Of
the few American species with a hold on
the forest stronger than it had when
America was discovered. Large tracks are
now covered with this birch where there
was little OF II q century ago. II comes In

EMBARRASSING AUNT Mgzzy
We entertained Aunt Mizry
From the eonnty-did our best;
It kept US pretty Sasy'
And il robbed US Of our rest.
Each morn We started early,
Took her out to see the sights
Mid the city's hurly-buriy;
Then the theater of.nizhts.
We rode her on the trolley,
And we showed her through each store;
But she didn't act real Jolly
Seemed TO think it all bore.
We liked the dear old lady,
Though her face was rather plain;
Bat she wasn't like Auat sadie;
She was hard 70 entertain.

For pIaeeswe hsdnt been

But you're used 10 IL, nc doubt.
