These Foods Not Used Enough.

There is small reason to doubt that
the proper development of tree crops
would greatly enrich and cheaper the
food supply of the American people
and their domestic animals. The chief
trouble seems to be tAat we have not
thought about it. Most of the crop
trees of value of Europe have been in
troduced into this country, such as the
olive, fig, date. the acorn and cork oak,
the walnut. pistache and almond. Our
native trees. such as the pecan, shay
bark, mulberry. honey locust, mesquite
and persimmon. offer great promise If
properly selected, propagated, improv-
ed by plant breeding and tested by ex-
pertinent. All this requires scientific
work. Now that we have spent a quar-
ter of a century developing the equip
ment for the promotion of agricultural
science the time has probably come
when attention can be turned in part
from the herb of the field to the more
productive tree that has long made the
oriental garden so productive,-J. Rus
sell Smith in Atlantic.

A Glimpse of Whittier.

In Mary Thacher Higginsons Life
of Thomas Wentworth Higginson" Is
this sketch of Whittier as he appeared
upon first acquaintance:
az spent a day in Amesbury and saw
Whittier. Dark, slender, bald, black
haired. kind. calm. flashing eyed, keen,
somewhat narrow, not commanding,
but interesting. Evidently injured by
politics. easily content with limited
views, yet sympathetic and probably,
generous. Lives In an appropriate cot
tage yet very simple. A queer COM
pound of Yankee Quaker and Yankee
hero and Yankee poet, the nationality
everywhere. He would white, no
doubt. But his eye cleaned with a
soft, beautiful tenderness as he came
to the door and remarked on the cold
sunset sky. He lives with an odd
Quaker dressed mother, who haunted
the back room with knitting and spec
tacles"

Cupid's Auxiliary,

I do not mind the strangely timid maid
Who glances up, then quickly hurries
by,
Nor yet the one who seems TO look me
through
With critical and disappearing eye.
1 don't complain, although the summer
girl
To whom 1 pledged my true love by the
sea
At last departs with signs or even tears,
But never sends postcard back to me.
These l abide. yet always pray that fate
May spare me from that one most bitter
pill
around
Because she wants to show she's sore
with Bill.

A "praetioaI" Ghost.

One of the London magazines relates
zone of the few instances in which a
ghost is recorded to have played real
ly practical part. 1t happened In Sicily
some years ago. when an Englishman
who was taking a solitary walking
tour in the interior of the Island sud
denly became aware that a friend OF
his who had died some time before
was walking by his side. A little far
Their on he came across some brigands
who were evidently lying in wait to at
tack him. They looked at him and
then remarked, with evident surprise,
why. there are two of them! and i'm
mediately hurried away, thinking 1t
was not safe to attack Them The
writer does not tell what happened
then, but leaves one to draw his own
conclusions.

Hare hunting is undoubtedly more
antique sport than the chase of the
fox. Xenophon pursued it with de-
light in ancient Greece, and in Britain
the hare was for centuries looked upon
as a far more worthy quarry than the
fox, which. until the time of Queen
Elizabeth and even later, was regard
ed as mere vermin. Nicholas Cox. au-
thor of THE Gentleman's Recreation"
work on sport, published in 1877.
writes thus enthusiastically: "As OF
all chases the hare makes the greatest
pastime, so it is great delight and
satisfaction to see the craft of this lit
tie poor beast in her own self preserva-
ton" And it is to be admitted that
in those shifts and expedients which
afford to lovers of hounds the true de-
lights of hunting the timid hare is at
least fertile as any known beast Of
chase in any part of the world.-Lon'
don Saturday Review.

An ArmX,a Eyes.

When people read that armies are en-
gaging each other at 1000 yards dis
lance they are apt to imagine that the
combatants can see each other, but as
a matter of fact they cannot. AT that
distance it is impossible to Distinguish
between man and horse, and even
at 1900 yards, especially where there
is any dust. it requires the best kind Of
eyes to tell infantry from cavalry.
At 900 yards the movements become
clearer. although it is not until they
get within 100 yards Of each other that

Palmerston and the Derby.

The Derby has had many devotees,
but none more ardent than Lord Palm
erston. For fifty years, as regularly
as clockwork, the popular statesman
galloped down to EPSON on Derby day,
and it was to his great disgust that
on his last visit he was compelled by
infirmity and foul weather to make
the journey in a carriage. AS he saw
the French horse Gladiateur forge
ahead that day he said to a friend.
IF the foreigner wins I shall not live

Collie.
The word collie is often used to
describe any severe pain in the
abdomen. but it is, Of course,
true that pain in that region has
many causes. The pain that
; simple collie causes may be very
. severe. and it may be attended
: by vomiting. profuse sweating
. and the partial collapse OF the
; sufferer If the pain does not
quickly abate call a doctor, for
the condition may in that case
be serious. Collie of the simple
; sort will usually yield to home
treatment and is quickly reliev-
; ed by tile removal of the cause
of offense. There are one or two
: signs that will help the family
to determine whether or not they
ought to call physician. In
. simple collie the patient usually
; moves about restlessly and tries
first one position and then an
other in order to gain relief. If,
on the other hand. the pain is
caused by some grave organic
. trouble or IL there is real intes-
final obstruction or peritonitis
. the patient can hardly keep still
enough. The expression of the
face is also a guide to diagnosis.
The expression in simple collie
may be agonized, but it is a very
different thing from the pinched
and anxious pallor that accom-
panies serious abdominal trou-
