EATING When Trampinu.

Experiments have shown that ami
mails which demand a mixed diet will
starve as surely and almost as quickly
when fed on a one sided diet, even
though it be large in bulk, as when de-
prived of food altogether, and the same
thing holds true for men. Hunger of a
moderate degree is not prejudicial to
strength and vigor. provided it be what
might be termed a general hunger. The
thing to be carefully guarded against
on a hard march is the tremendous
hunger for some particular food con-
tent, such as sweet or fat or starch.
which we so often find in the case of a
carelessly equipped expedition. A well
rounded ration is worth two which are
not so. The man who has this prin-
ciple firmly in mind has made long
step toward success as a field leader

THE CURIOUS BANANA TREE.
A Plant That Will Practically Grow
While You Wait.


If a good sized. healthy banana tree
is cut off few feet above the ground
during the wet season the tree will not
die, but nine times out of ten will send
up a new shoot from the center of the
trunk and will grow fast enough to
make up for lost time. for within forty
eight hours it will rear waving green
leaves triumphantly above the severed
trunk.
The secret lies in the fact that the
trunk of the banana tree is not hard
and woody like other trees, but is real
ly composed of undeveloped leaves
wrapped tightly together in a spiral
form. When the tree grows these
rolled up leaves push upward and
merely unroll. Thus no time is lost in
forming buds and growing leaves as do
ordinary trees. When the trunk is cut
off it doesn't interfere with the growth
of the leaves, because they are always
pushing up from the center of the
stalk. If you will roll sheet of paper
tightly and push against one end you
will see exactly how the leaves are
pushed up from the trunk of the ba-
mana tree, and if you cut the roll in
two you will find that it doesn't pre-
vent you from pushing out the center
of the roll as before.
Although the banana tree repairs an
injury so rapidly and well, the shoot
formed from the cut stalk seldom bears
fruit or flowers. AS these shoots are
taller and stronger than the original
trees, however, they are much better
adapted to withstand wind and storms,
and the natives frequently cut the ba-
mana trees in order to force them to
produce the strong, fruitless growth
and to serve as windbreaks for other
crops.-A. Hyatt Verrill in ST. Nicholas.

A CURIOUS HISTORY.
The Life of Sir William Cavendish,
With Comment bv Panve

With a Comment by Pepys.
Sir William Cavendish. known in
English history as the first Duke of
Newcastle, was commander of King
Charles is first royal army in his
contest with Cromwell Sir Williams
second wife, the Duchess Margaret.
wrote a life of her husband, in which
she depicted him us a most illustrious
prince" and in every respect the pink
of perfection.
The work was supposed to be entire,
ly authentic and truthful. for Sir Viii.
liam himself assisted in its preparation.
1t was published early in 1867. and
many complimentary copies were sent
out, including one to the officials of St.
Johns college, Cambridge university.
In acknowledging it's receipt they
wrote:
your excellencys book will not only
survive our university. but hold date
even with time itself. and incontinent-
ly this age by reading your book will
lose it's barbarity and rudeness, being
made tame by the elegance of youl
style and manner"
But old Samuel Pepys was not quite
so favorably impressed In his cele
brated DIARY" under date of March
IS, 1867, he made this entry: 'Staid al
home reading the ridiculous history OF
my Lord Newcastle, wrote by his wife

CLOTHES AND THE MAN.
To Be Well Dressed Means to Be At.
tired In Good Taste.


Dress is a subject frequently in the
minds of many. Some think too much
about it and some not enough. No one,
however brilliant in ability, even a
genius" can afford to be careless in
this matter. HE is best dressed" says
Trollope, whose dress no one OBJ
serves" Little touches of individuality
in ones clothing are well, but it is not
in the best taste to adopt any peculiar
striking style that will make people in
the street turn their heads for further
observation.
One should beware Of extremes in
fashion. Means and occupation should
be considered in choosing what to wear.
Even the poorest garments, if clean, in
order and properly worn, give a good
impression of the wearer. Women
should give sufficient attention to dress
to decide what is suitable for the time
and occasion and that it is rightly adj
justed and no further attention.
TO be well dressed is a passport,
opening doors otherwise closed.
To be lavishly dressed betokens q
shallow mind. 1t would appear that one
thought his clothes the better part Of
him. Even children's dress should be
thought of with care. Their clothing
should not prevent free action in their
play. Nor should it be so rich as to
give them an idea Of superiority to chill
dren less extensively dressed and so
make snobs Of them.
The carefully dressed man shows
more self respect than the sloven.-

ORIENTAL LACQUER.
Japan Got the Art From China, Then
Surpassed Her Tutor.

surpassed her utor.
Lacquer has furnished a most varied
material for one of the earliest indus
trial arts of China, and. though there
are no authentic records of it's origin
nor of the steps of it's early develop
ment, the process is already called an
ancient one in a work published in
1887, in the first year of the Ming Pc
Rod, which proves that the art was
known in as remote an epoch as the
Sung dynasty. The eliminating years
of its development were reached in the
reign Of the Emperor Chen Lung t1736-
9o), who greatly encouraged its manu-
facture and had large quantities of
lacquered objects made with which to
furnish and decorate his palace After
his death the art seems to have de-
cllned in merit. and since that time lit
tie or nothing of any high artistic value
in Chinese lacquer has been accom-
plished.
The Japanese first learned the proc
ess from China, but have since brought
it to point of perfection which sur
passes the finest productions of the
Chinese. In Japan, however lacquer is
applied solely to objects of compare
lively small size, while in the Chinese
empire it served to decorate screens
and panels of tremendous dimensions.
Lacquer is divided into two classes
painted and carved lacquer. Both kinds
are sometimes inlaid with mother-of-
pearl, ivory, jade and various semi
precious stones.
1t was in the early seventeenth CEN
tury, when Holland and Portugal be-
gan their trade with the remote east,
and particularly with China, that mar
velous empire teeming with so many
extraordinary artistic manifestations.
that Europe first began to realize the
new and vast field of decorative ele-
ments which were contained in and re-
vealed to her artists by oriental art

CORK FORESTS.
Money Making Trees That Grow In the
Poorest Kind of Soil

Poorest Kind of Soil.
The FORK oak is a kind of jack at all
trades among trees, and it's service in
dicates well the kind of new freedom
that trees may give us by their new
helpfulness if we will just give them
chance. If the garden of Eden story
had been written in Spain or Portugal
/ think the fortunate couple would
have been placed in possession of a
cork forest. If man in either of
these countries has a forest of good
cork trees you will find him in Madrid
Lisbon or Paris. His cork forest works
for him, and he stays in town.
Cork trees grow on the rockiest and
poorest land. The poorer the land the
finer the quality of the cork. Every
eight or ten years the outer bark is
stripped from the trees to furnish the
ever more highly priced cork of COM
merce. BY dividing the land up into
blocks this decennial harvest will pro-
duce fairly regular income.
These same oak trees produce acorns.
often heavily, which are sold to some
farmer, who drives his herds of lean
hogs into the forest, where they har-
vest the acorns and turn them into
salable meat. A Portuguese hog is ex-
pected to gain two pounds day for
ninety days when acorns are ripe.
More than this, there is beneath the
oak trees some heritage fit for goats to
eat Thus the cork forest owner in Lis
bon gets income from three contrac-
tors-the cork stripper, the pork raiser
and the goat raiser. And with care
the forest lasts forever. The individual
cork tree is good for a hundred years
or more, after which it is q fine big
salable tree. with enough young ones
near it to take its place when it is
gone to market In Portugal a cork
tree, ready for its third stripping, is
considered worth $25. When in full
bearing an acre of these oaks will
yield from one to three tons Of cork
at stripping, now worth about $40
a ton to the grower. Most of this is
profit. The pork is profit. 1t is the
common rule that the income from
the pasture pays the small cost of
caring for the forest.--J. Russell Smith
in Country Gentleman.

When Cruelty Isn't Cruelty.

The magistrate of the department OF
Seine-et-Oise, in France, once gave a
decision in a claim of cruelty to a
horse which is remarkable as a legal
subtlety. The law provides that the
offense is punishable only when com.
mitted in public. If the sore is covered
by the collar, he holds, the offense is
not committed in public. If it is not
covered by the collar there is no cruel
ty. In either event the case must be
discharged.

Wealth In Middle Ages.

Hallam, whose view of the State OF

RES0URCEFUL MOTHS.
They Found Way to Cross the Fruit
Growers Barriers.

They Found Way to Cross the Fruit
Growers Barriers.
England's winter moth is one of the
greatest pests with which the fruit
growers of that country have to con
tend. 1t begins to appear in October
and the female, whose wings are very
short ard quite unadapted to fight
climbs the trunks of the fruit trees and
deposits her eggs. These hatch out IN
the spring. and the caterpillaEs soon
devour the young leaves. Heretofore
it has been comparatively easy to com
bat the ravages of the pest. Seeing
that the female is unable to fly. fruit
growers place bands of a Sticky sub
: stance round each tree. The female
in climbing the trunk. comes to the
band and is held fast.
But wonderful thing has happened
says the Manchester EnglandI Guar
dian. In recent years the female moth
has been found from time to time above
the band, and how she got there was a
mystery. Finally. however, an ento-
mologist expert unveiled it. He saw
the male and female moths together
above the band on the tree-the male
evidently having just deposited the fe.
male.
There appears to be little doubt. adds
the Guardian. that in this we have u
remarkable adaptation to circum-
stances. The female cannot fly. but the
male can. and it would seem that he
had flown to the higher part of the
tree, carrying his wife upon his back.
This is one of the most striking discov-
cries in natural history and is creating
much interest among nature students.
