ABOUT TRIMMING TREES.

For those who undertake the trim
ming Of trees for the first time 1t Is
suggestion worth remembering to
saw from beneath close to the tree on
limbs of considerable size. After max.
Ing cut OF fair depth the saving may
be done from the top side. This pre-.
caution prevents the splitting down OF
the limb anu the marring of the trunk
just beneath. A further safeguard In
the cutting off of large limbs is to take
them off foot or more from the trunk,
later taking off the stub. All limbs
should be removed in such way that
the cut will be as close to the trunk as
possible and on line With the one Of
the trunk

First Straw Hats.

The first hat OF straw to be worn I'm
the United States appeared In 1900.
Straw had been used before to thatch
houses, but not the heads Of civilized
citizens. 1t made comfortable, bedding
for cattle and was stuffed In sacks to
Increase the softness of the pine boards
used by men and women TO sleep on
But straw for the head? Never. II
might do for the tropical savages, but
not for the inhabitants of the great
zone i'll which the progressive nations
lived.
Previous to 1900 men had worn fell
and cloth hats. And it was not till
the time of Elizabeth that men began
to wear hats at all, in distinction from
caps and bonnets. The poisoning OF
literature in the Elizabethan period
was contemporary with the building
of brims on head coverings and their
transmogrifcation into hats-Phiiadel-

One of the finest French renaissance
buildings in France is the Castle OF
Despond, famous in the legendary lore
of the Toulousian country in which 1t
stands. over the window of one of
the inner courtyards Is sculptured in
the stone head above the motto,
PLUS d'Espoir." These were the last
words of Rose de Martial, whose story
has been sung by the poets of T'ou-
louise
Rose de Martial was the daughter Of
the house of Martial, to whom the cas-
tie belonged, and she was courted by
the lord of Castelnat, whose manor she
could see from her window. But, al
though she was beautiful and tender
hearted, the lord Tilted her, and she
fell into a melancholy. She sat every
day by the window. whence she could
see the tickle lord of Castelnats manor.
one morning he passed by in the
valley below She sang to him. but
he never looked up. Plus d'Espoir"
she cried and threw herself ont of the
window on t. he tlags below, where
she WAS Killed. The manor of Martial
was known thenceforward as the Cas-
tie of Dcspond.
