One OF tho chief difficulties that the

problem OF how these losses may be

ENDING OF TIE GOLDEN DAY
Worlds Sorry Recompense to Youth

Youth came into the market place
half dazed by the dazzling brilliance Of

which would be no bargain. Better

And he called to her and said: my

TREE AGRICULTURE NOT NEW
Immense Possibilities When tho Sub
jeet Has Been Thoroughly and
Scientifically Sifted.

The modern conception of tree ag.
riculture" Is newt Is only a few
years since men began to discuss the
possibility Of substituting permanent
trees for annual seed-bearing grains
as the worlds food supply. But the
fact Of tree agriculture is very old,
and few who live in northern lands
have any idea how far It has pro-
crossed In the hot regions.
There are some 100000 cocoanut
trees in the island Of Ceylon, valued at
nearly 100000, 900. They furnish much
Of the food supply OF the inhabitants.
The date palms Of the Pacific are other
examples of tropical fruit trees; and
the chestnuts, CAROLS and olives of
southern Europe show something of
what can be done In cooler climates.
In the grasp Of modern science,
trees are as plant as animals. When
we consider what has been accom-.
plished In animal breeding in the last
two centuries. we get some idea of
tree farming as our descendants may
practice Il 200 years hence.

Turtle of Great Age.

A huge turtle weighing LIS pounds
was brought to San Diego, Cal, the
other day by Capt. j. ZollezN of the
Italian fishing launch Belvedere. The
turtle, said by waterfront men to be
the largest specimen ever caught in
Lower California waters, Is nine feet
in circumference, and seven feet from
the tip Of its nose TO the end of its
short tail. The front fiippers are four
feet in length and almost foot wide,
taperlng gradually until at the end
they are about five inches wide. The
Jaws are solid mass of teeth, over
200 being located in the upper jaw.
They range from one.half to a quarter
of an inch in length. The shell is
ribbed and in spots pliable, which leads
many fishermen to believe the turtle
Is nearly two hundred years old.

SHOW GRATITUDE FOR RELIEF
Every Demonstration Of Thank
fulness TO the Dentist,

Il is not easy to tell when an ele-
plant has got the toothache. but 1t IL
best to keep out Of his way when you
do know It, A London surgeon, who
had been for many years in India, says
he would sooner risk railway acct
dent than meet an elephant with tooth
ache.
1t appears that toothache affects an
elephant in a more severe manner than
1t does any other animal. Elephants
have very sensitive nerves, and a
touch Of toothache often brings on
madness.
Providing you are able to chain
down an elephant and draw out the
offending tooth, the brute is certain
to be affectionate to you afterward.
Here is an instance.
An elephant In Bengal, India, became
affected with toothache. but the keep
ers managed to secure 1t while den.
fist drew q decayed tooth-the cause
Of the trouble. After q time the ele-
plant seemed to understand that the
dentist was trying to do something for
his pain, and he gave every evidence
Of approaching the attention. When
the operation was over he frisked
round the dentist like . young lamb.
