In the January Woman's Home Com
panion Frank A. Waugh writes an
article, Finding Happiness in Winters
Garden" Following is an interesting
extract
Nov the big trees, which are the
central features of the summer gardens,
are scarcely less beautiful in winter.
The dignfied outlines of their tops, the
effects of size and permanence, are as
great now as then. The interesting in
divdualities of trunk, and especially of
the tracery of branches, are more evil
dent during winter than in the full leaf
trees are just as good in the winter
garden, and if we have not usually
seen so much in them it is only because
our eyes were blinded, and our hearts
hardened, and we did not look with
sympathy.
There are some trees more pleasing
than others, of course, in their winter
costumes. The good domestic apple
tree, for example, is one of the most
picturesque and desirable. The wild
crab apples, too, and the native haw-
thorns, have most jaunty and attract
i've look with their horizontal snow
covered branches. The oaks are ad-
mirable winter trees; and the plane
trees with their white scaling trunks
make pleasing sketches against the
snow or against the winter sky. The
various birches ought to be especially
mentioned and everywhere planted for
winter effects. Most people are fasci-
mated by the brilliant picture of the
white trunks amidst summer foliage,
but the artistic effect against the snow
is more pleasing and refined, just L.
cause it offers a less violent contrast.
The American paper birch is usually
the best of those having white bark,
the European species. being subject to
serious insect attacks and being, aside
from this, wholly inferior in point of
grace and beauty. Then there is the
yellow birch with its shaggy, shreddy
bark, one of the very finest of the
genus, though it succeeds only in cold
moist soils. The black birch, too,
though a very common sort of tree in
the eyes of thoughtless persons, has its
own qualities of beauty, coming into
special emphasis where it shows along
the borders of the winter woodlands"

The legislatures of Virginia and South
Carolina are considering advanced for
estry legislation.
Incense cedar is proving..vauable for
piling on the Pacific coast where marine
borers are particularly troublesome.
The paper used by the government
printing Office each year requires ap-
proximately 1875 million pounds of rag
pulp and 400 million pounds of wood
pulp.
F. A. Elliott, state forester of
Oregon, says that cooperative fire
patrol. associations among lumbermen
for prevention of forest fires have
proved their worth.
OF COG fires last year on the national
forests of Arizona, New Mexico, and
Oklahoma, more than one-half were
caused by lightning. Campers set about
one-tenth, and railroads one-twentieth.
Roadside signs, each containing q
single catchy sentence in large type,
are proving effective in warning against
fires on western forests. They give
the essentials and tell the importance
of protection against forest fires.

The burning of the principal building
of the group comprising the Vermont
Industrial school at Vergennes late Sat
urday afternoon will undoubtedly lead
speedily to the construction of build
ing to take its place that is entirely
modern and freproof. Covered as the
loss is by ample insurance, the greatest
disadvantage to the state will be the in
convenience pending the construction of
new quarters. One of the most COM
mendable features of the fire was the
splendid conduct Of the boys, inmates of
the institution, who not only made no
attempt to take advantage of the
catastrophe to escape but turned in with
a will to rescue the contents of the
burning building. The incident proves
the wisdom of the policy of Superin-
tendent Barss in placing all the boys in
charge on honor. Had the inmates been
subjected to humiliating espionage and
close confinement, as is the custom in a
good many similar institutions, the
probabilities are that a considerable
proportion of them today would be at
large as the result of the fire and its
attendant confusion. Rutland News.

Deserted Wife Inherits sas. 900

Burlington, VT, Feb. Mrs. James
H. Clarey, a restaurant waitress, whose
husband disappeared over 20 years ago,
received word today that he died in
New York recently, leaving an estate
of S35, 900. Mrs. Clarey said she had
not heard from him since he left her
and four small children and started for
the Chicago worlds fair. One of the
children has since died. The others,
with their mother, will claim the prop
erty.
According to the information Mrs.
Clarey has received her husband en-
gagged in the bakery business in New
York and at one time owned several
stores. He died intestate, but search
by the administrator among his private
papers disclosed the fact that he had
been married and inquiry was then made
here for his wife.

Monday was Candlemas day andancient
lore prescribes that the ground hog
sticks his sleepy nose out of his winter
den every February I'd, winking three
months sleep from his eyes. He steps
with dignity that becomes prophet of
centuries of reputation into the open
field and surveys the premises. If he
sees his shadow on the ground, so goes
the story which is so old that it must be
true, he scurries back to his hole again,
draws down the lid, and pops off to sleep.
