Grams. The age of these trees can
not be judged by their size or by their
general appearance. There may be
centuries of difference in the ages Of
two arm-in-arm trees of similar size.
I examined two trees that were grow

in the shelter Of crag. One was
IA feet high and 16 inches in diane

other was seven feet high and five
inches in diameter, and had lived four

Have you remembered how these days
before Christmas are the wonderful
days in the life of the child, more
wonderful days, perhaps, than any
that are to come?
You know that yourself. You can't
help recalling how time went by those
days before the great day. You re-
member how each day seemed some
how more wonderful than the one be-
fore, each day prelude of real JOY

Christmas morning, when, after
night of little if any sleep, you scram-

threshold of the room which had been
forbidden you all those interminable
hours that went before.

Robins Like Holly Berries.

The yellow-leg snipe travels mat
ter of 5000 miles to get his Christ
mas dinner. It is pretty nearly the
longest journey made annually by any
living creature, and the object of it
seems to be to procure certain dain-
ties in the way OF aquatic insects and
crustaceans appropriate for holiday
fare
One might say, however, that the
most appropriate of Christmas din
ners is eaten by the robins which at
this holiday season feed largely upon
the berries Of the holly-particularly
upon the berries of a kind of holly
called the black alder, which are as
bitter as quinine
