!" Thy keenest spirit take
 And stake my spirit wide awake!
 You see," she went on, there are a lot of spirits-souls-tha are really asleep at the switch. They haven't really fled, but they have simply let themselves go, Tn a body so entirely given over to the ma terial things of life."
 T know and I'm not sure that l agree with you in thinking the scientist who has discovered how to preserve tissue and human organs in a hospital grab bag for use in patching up emergency cases, doesn't deserve his $So,0OO," Anne an swered.
 Its not that" objected Peggy. ''1 don't understand his discovery, but I'm just thinking if some scientist could only find the secret of spirit"
 She stopped
 It's very old and cluttered up world, this is,' said Anne. "The main thing, as l see 1t, is to keep ones ideals from grow ing rusty Once they get checked up and covered over"
 You talk as if an ideal were rub Der plant or a fern, or
 May be it is rubber plant" said Anne. I've never yet met one of my own ideals visualized. or seen any one else who had ever seen any one of their favor ite dreams in the flesh Have youl Can't you see that an ideal Is something that keeps beckoning us, encouraging in us that home sickness for something that is not here and"
 Whats all that got to do with the s30,000 Nobel prize,' quickly demanded Peggy.
 Everything here that is worth while. T came the cryptic answer, Heads us or to something there'-doesnt 1t"
 People who know, say so. As for my. self. I try never to formulate theories, for as soon as I do. along comes some scien- tist or other and blows them sky high"
 Wasn't 1t Huxley who talked about the slaying of a beautiful idea by an ugly fact, being one of the tragedies of sci ence;' wasn't it?" asked Anne. "As a matter of fact, I don't believe real ideal has ever been hurt by a little aero- blaming. Never. An ideal is only the lay term for what scientific men. cat alogue as spirit. And life that hasn't an ideal is more than apt to be one of these living organizations from which the spirit has fed Don't you rhink so?'

 Well, he says:
 Says what?" Anne asked quickly.
 He says" replied Peggy, opening the magazine again and trying to find the place; 'he says at some length and in a very scientific way that man may die but his body may live on. Now, isn't that interesting?"
 Circulation, isn't it?" Anne retorted. Doesn't he say that an organism could l live on for years after the spirit has fled If blood were restored by transfusion?" l That's not the point at all as I see it?, Peggy objected. T wonder that some wise observer hasn't gone this distin- suished doctor one better and declared that the living world around and about us is full of dead people, if death means the absence of spirit"
 Living spirit" corrected Anne. .They always emphasize that
 Spirit is life," said Peggy. and lack of it is death. That's why I say that more people around us are dead than we know"
 Haven't you known wonderful teach CTS. recall one in my own iife.Y con- tinued Peggy, feelingly, 'whose bodies have been dead for years, yet their souls go marching on. This one spirit re- claimed many a girl and boy from a life of idleness and mental indolence. She got them interested in big things and by the force of her own giving spirit quick ened their dead ones. While she is no longer here. she dominates the things she stood for in life, with those who came under her influence quite as much as if she hadn't passed on to the larger exper- fence of death. Many of the things she started are reaching maturity now. for she had growing, living spirit, just as we hear about certain people who have growing hands,, with plants and flow ers."
 Funny, isn't, it but maybe that's what the man in the Bible meant when he said. In the midst of life we are in death What do you think about it" asked Anne.

Prevents Tree Decay

As an enthusiastic amateur hortlcul- turist would call the attention of read CTS of like stes to the fact that broken
 or split or diseased trees, and the larger shrubs with which we delight to embellih our grounds, may be doctored successful 1y by following the inclosed rfce1tonss which [ clipped from an esteemed agri- cultural journal. Having just saved rare and valued tree from death by the process, I beg to have the pleasure of sharing the knowledge with brethren of the same honorable craft. First, all de- cayed or apparently decaying or diseased wood should be removed with a sharp chisel or knife until sound heartwood is exposed. Immediately wash the wounds with a solution of copper sulphate in the proportion of one pound of sulphate to five gallons of water. As soon as this has been done fill the cavity with a thin mortar made by mixing one part of ce- ment with three parts of clean sand. When it has become stiq, but not too hard, face 1t on the outside with thin cement, using a trowel to smooth the cement over all parts that have been in- jured. If cavity or split should occur near fork of the tree it would be an ad- ditional safeguard to put a long bolt through both branches so as to hold them together. When the cement hardens in a
 cavity the trunk will be perfectly solid and decay will be arrested. HILBERT H.
 It IS pleasant to De able to add my num- ble testimony to the assertion that trees and shrubs may be mended by such sim pie surgery as correspondent sug- gests. I have ''poulticed" and bandaged broken branches and holes in days past, and had the satisfaction of watching their complete recovery. We number so many gardeners and horticulturists among our members that I dare hope the prescrip- tion will be welcome It is from a mem- Der resident in a frl1t growing region

 You evidently have not read the oft repeated statement in the corner to the effect that the care of the skin and hair and what are popularly called "beauty secrets are out of my province and in abler hands. May I ask however as a motherly friend why you worry in this day of fresh air treatment and scorn of tan and redder sunburn over a little bronze and a few frecSles? Keep your body in perfect condition: live and joy in the open air; bathe regularly and freely; get plenty of healthful. natural sleep, eschew pickles and candy as articles oi daily diet; let rich pastries alone-and the complexion will take care of itself by and by, if not now.
