"He notes that the increased rate
Of the heart beat in early life dimin.
ishes the burden of the heart in the
following manner: the amount Of
blood pumped at each impulse is cor
respondingly smaller, the aspirating
force of the right heart is increased,
and the rapidly developing heart mus
Gle is more effectively nourished. The
author attributes the relative immuni
ty of very young children to infectious
diseases to the rapidity with which the
blood flows through the arteries, which
rapidity makes 1t difficult for micro.
organisms to gain a foothold In the

HOW TREES PROCURE FOOD
Belief Is That Sustenance ls Digested
In Advance Of lts Con-
sumption.

Every gardener knows that a tree
can be fed and made to grow with In
creased vigor. If proper nourishment
In the form of humus. nitrogen, phos
phate, etc., be placed about it's roots
the tree will absorb this food and
grow rapidly and strongly.
But how the tree feeds Is somewhat
more difficult to explain. In all prob
ability the tree digests it's food first
and consumes It afterward. Certain
It is that the average tree has no
means OF consuming food as a whole,
as members of the animal kingdom abb
sorb 1t. It is we'll known that the
larvae of certain insects digest their
food first and consume It afterward.
Observation would indicate that this
is exactly what the tree does. The
tiny rootlets act on the substances In
the earth. dissolving and breaking
them up so they can be absorbed
through the root pores. In order SO
to be taken up the chemicals must be
in liquid form and devoid of all waste.
The end of each root is armed with
a horny substance with which It can
burrow through the hard soil in search
OF food.

MIGHT BE CALLED EVIDENCE
At Least Participant In Fight Had
Reason to Believe He Was
Telling the Truth.

Two colored soldiers at frontier
post had fight, during which one OF
the combatants lost an ear, and the
other was accused Of having bitten 1t
off. The case was tried by general
court-martial, and the counsel for the
defense, in cross-examination Of the
one-eared man, the principal witness
for the prosecution, asked: Where
did this fight take place." I'm Mista
Nelson's con field, jes' outside de
reservation" answered the witness.
What was the condition of the
ground" "Hit wuz covered wild stub
ble-co'n had all been cut" Now"
said the counsel, glazing at the wit
ness, you are on oath, and will get
into serious trouble II you tell any
thing but the truth. Could not your
ear have been torn off by the sharp
stubble?" "Yaas, sah," said the wit
ness, hit mought." Then what do
you mean by stating under oath that
the accused bit 1t Off" Cause"
said the witness, II done seen him
spit 1t out"

one of her old laces has been torn by
OF a servant. That lace has been the
Joy Of her life, the pride of all her
possessions. II Miss Hadley cannot
mend 1t, what is she to do? Miss Had
ley does mend 1t. 1t may take months,
sometimes it takes year IL the dam
age is particularly bad, but she can
mend anything that needle is capa-
BILE of mending. 1t does not signify
IL It Is point applique. or rose point,
or BRUCE, or venetian, or carrickma-
cross, or burano; once she sees the
stitch and the design, the rest is mere
ly a matter Of patience-a patience
most trying in some instances.
To assist her In her work. the lace
expert has had to train quite large
number Of women. Some Of these are
going to take up the line of teaching
later on. The work they are now do
ing is delicate in the extreme; 1t Is so
fine that they cannot work at II more
than two or three hours day. On
some of the pieces made by lace
makers the needleworker is employed
two or three years. The number Of
stitches they take is in the millions.
They make things. as small as but
terfiy and they make others things as
large as a great tablecloth that would
cover a board Of the most generous
proportions. No painter ever gave
more attention to detail than do these
remarkable needleworkers in carrying
out the designs in these fabrics. They
have to know art and they have to
know history. They stitch out Egypt's
most famous queen just as easily as
they do the plainest of mosaic work
Rich Women Her Pupils.
Probably no woman In the world
has had more rich women for her pu-
pills than has this needleworker from
Canada. One Of the first women she
taught when she came to New York
was Mrs. William Aston. Her second
or third was Mrs. Coils T. Hunting
ton. To give the whole list would be
like repeating the Blue Book.
Mrs. Huntington has come to be
one Of the greatest collectors in Amer
lea. Her laces are of fabulous value.
She has given more earnest study to
the history of lace than any other Of
the rich women that have shown ex-
pertness in needlework. She is al
most qualified to be lace expert her
self. II she lost all her money to-
morrow. she could earn good living
from her knowledge of laces.
To Miss Hadley's mind no business
open to women today offers greater
opportunities than lace making. II is
broad In its scope. II takes In the
poor girl and the girl who is gently
bred. Its rewards are large to those
who master y. 1t practically Is In its

infancy In the United States. SO long
as there is wealth, and the love of
the beautiful, lace making will endure.
There is no reason why American lace
makers should not, II well taught, be-
come the equal of the European. The
American girls who have taken up
lace making and have been ambitious
and have had their heart In their
work, have made surprising progress.
Some of them, in filet lace make parts
of the mesh just as well as do the
most expert lace makers of Europe.

Venetian lace making, but Venice
played only one part in the history of
lace making. The Belgians are IA
nous for their work. So are the
French. So are the Irish. SO are
the Danes. People go to see Miss
Hadley's laces as they go to see old
friends, or as people go to the Metro
politan museum to feast upon its
treasures. To some persons old laces
have very strong personal appeal.
When Miss Hadley disposes of one of
her belongings that she has had for
a long time, the regulars sigh, II they
do not actually mourn
There probably is not another busi-
ness in all New York just like that
of this lace maker from little Cana
dian town. She has the histories and
the romances of hundreds of families
in the goods she deals in. Many Of
her laces are heirlooms. Some are
old-time lace shawls that have been
in one family for two, three, four or
five generations. Some Of them are
very old and very rare. Now it is
the fashion for us to use these as
wedding wells or as decorations for
wedding dresses. The more of his
tory there is to one Of these ex-
quisite bits of lace, the more valu-
able.
