EARLY HISTORY OF EUROPE
Confederation Of eermanIe Tribes the
Foundation Of Countries Of Ger
many and France.

The name Franks was applied about
the middle of the third century to a
confederation of Germanic tribes
dwelling on the middle and lowef
Rhine. Later they became divided
into two principal groups-the Sail
ans, inhabiting the districts on both
sides of the lower Rhine, and the
Ripuarians, settled on the middle
Rhine. In the third and fourth CEN
turtles hordes of them began to move
southwards and afterwards into Gaul.
In 1858 Emperor Julian, although he
defeated the Salian invaders, allowed
them to establish themselves perma-
nently in T0xandria, the country be-
tween the Meuse and the Scheldt.
From this time Frankish chiefs and
warriors frequently served in the Ro-
man armies; and during the fifth CEN
tury they rendered valuable service to
the empire by stemming the tide of
barbarian invasion. By this time the
Salian Franks had made themselves
masters of northern Gaul. while the
Ripuarians were concentrated around
Cologne. Under Hlodowig or Clovis,
king OF the former confederation, the
Franks were converted to Christian
ity, while by his conquests in CEN
trail Gaul, and by his subjugation of
the Alemanni and the Ripuarian
Franks, he not only extended his do
miniops as far as the Loire in the
one direction and the Maine in the
other, but he laid the foundation of
what subsequently developed into the
kingdom of France.

SEVERAL DON'TS ON
PRUNING TREES
Dull Tools Make the Work Harder
and Produce Rough Wounds
Handle Tree Gently.

Don't wear hobnailed boots when
pruning. In climbing about the trees
they readily injure the bark.
Don't leave your pruning to the
h1red man. The more you understand
your trees the better you will prune
them.
Don't use dull tools. They make the
work harder and produce rough
wounds.
Don prune in frosty weather. Frost
bitten wounds are slow to heal.
Don't start all main limbs at the
same height. Weak crotches are the
results.
Don't leave stubs in cutting off
limbs. They rot back and cause decay
in the trunk.
Don't let suckers grow. They are
worthless and draw upon the trees
food supply.
Don't leave the larger wounds bare.
Apply good white lead paint or cover
with grating wax.
Don't slit the bark, bore holes or
drive nails into the tree. They only
oner places Of entry for fungous dis
eases.
Don't use a hatchet for removing
suckers. The hatchet is not a tool
for scientific pruning.
Don't handle the tree roughly. It is
a delicate structure and will amply re.
pay careful Observation-Disclosures Ex-

Some workmen on an ostrich farm
in South Africa one day found a live
shell left by some artillery men who
had been at target practice on the
plains few days before. Not know
ing it was loaded, they whitewashed it
and placed it in an ostrich's nest,
thinking to play joke upon the boss.
The next morning one of the hands,
an lrishman, came around to look for
eggs, and finding, as he thought,
large one, he seized on it at once.
In his astonishment at finding it SO
heavy he dropped it, with the result
that it exploded with direful effect. Pat
was hurled several yards away, but,
strangely enough, beyond lying
stunned for few minutes, he was un-
hurt.
"Whew! boys!" he murmured,
when he recovered his speech, "bedad,
that igg was the stalest iver knocked
across!"

TheIIuson Law.

The Thelluson law, once enacted by
the British government, was a law to
regulate the disposition of property
by will and to prevent the excessive
accumulation of estates. 1t had a
curious origin. On the 9th of July,
1877, one Peter Thelluson, an English
merchant of French birth, died in Lon
don, leaving a certain sum to his
widow and children and the remainder
OF his property, then amounting to
several hundred thousand dollars. to
trustees to accumulate during the
lives of his children, grandchildren
and great-grandchildren living at the
time of his death, and the survivors
OF them. The accumulation would have
been enormous. The will was con-
tested, but was held valid. In order,
however, to prevent such a disposition
OF property in the future, parliament
passed what was called the Thelluson
act, or accumulations act, regulating
and limiting bequests in such a way
as to make great accumulations i'm
possible. When Peter Thelluson's last
grandson died, in 1856, a
question arose as to whether the eld-
est male descendant or the male de-
scendant of the eldest son should in
herit the property, and this question
was decided on appeal by the house
Of lords in June, 1859. The Thelluson
will and the legislation growing out
of 1t were a subject of much discus
'ion by lawyers.

In Herbert Quick's farm novel, "The

becomes a school teacher, and pro-

cultural traditions. He treats the pu-

regards his school as sort of labora-
tory in which the children help him
work out practical problems of their
own homes and farms.
He doesn't make them sit stiff and
silent for hours at time. AS his bust

about and consult him and each other

GOOD TRAINING FOR BODY
Reasons Why Children Should Be A.
lowed to Indulge in Dances That
Are Innocent.

Dancing is invaluable as physical
training for children. 1t is impossible
for them not to learn the exact value
OF time beats, because to keep the
dance going the time must be perfect.
And the quick jumping steps are a
splendid training for balancing the
body.
Children learn easily and readily
because the spirit of the dance in.
spires them without mental effort.
How necessary such inspiration is
in the training of children, anyone
can judge who has ever watched the
heavy, timeless jump of small, slow,
country school drilling.
Feet and brains do not work togeth-
er and the class jumps all at once,
but reaches the ground again at a
dozen different times.
A child's brain must be overworked
unless its small reasoning power is
helped by external inspiration such
as this of the dance swing.
