Tribute to Trees.

The trees formed the first temples of the gods. and even at the present day the country people, preserving in all their simplicity their ancient rites, consecrate the finest of their trees to some divinity Indeed, we feel our selves inspired to adoration not less by the sacred groves, and their very stiffness, than by the statues of the gods, resplendent as they are with gold and ivory Each kind of tree re- mains immutably consecrated to some divinity; the beech to Jupiter, the laurel to Apollo. the olive to Minerva, the myrtle to Venus and the poplar to Hercules In more recent times 1t was the trees that, by their juices, more soothing even than corn. first modified the natural asperity of man. -Pliny.

 Isn't it dear!" exclaimed Gail taking it away from him, and favoring him with a smile She whisked the fluffy little ball over to her Aunt Grace and left it in that lady's lap, while she threw off her furs.
 Where could you buy a dog at this hour?" inquired Mrs. Davies, glancing at the clock, which stood now at the accusing hour of quarter of eleven.
 We woke up the kennel men, laughed Gail, turning with a sparkling glance to Allison, who was being in. troduced tremendously to the ladies by Uncle Jim. "We had a perfectly glorious evening! We dined at Rose leaf Inn, entirely surrounded by hectic lights, then we drove five miles into the country and bought Flakes We came home so fast that MT. Allison al most had to hold me in." She turned laughing, to find the eyes of Rev Smith Boyd fixed on her in cold disap proval. They were no longer blue!

 Certainly" he replied. equally buoy ant. Enjoy yourself, Chubsy." and he hung up the receiver.
 What Is it?" asked Mrs. Davies, in a tone distinctly chill. She had pre- monition that Jim Sargent had done something foolish He seemed so pleased.
 Gail won't be home," he announced carelessly, starting for the stairs. She's dining with Allison at some roadhouse."
 "Unchaperoned!" gasped Mrs. Da- vies.
 She's all right, Helen," remarked Jim, starting upstairs "Allison's a fine fellow"
 But what will he think of Gail!'' nrotested Helen That sort of un- conventionality has gone clear out Jim. you'll have to get back that num- ber!"

 The two ladies looked at each other and sat down in the valley of the shadows of gloom. There was noth ing to be done!

Too Many Men.

"A conscience must be 8 nuisance to a rector" sympathized Gail Sar- gent, as she walked up the hill beside Rev. Smith Boyd.
 The tall young rector shifted the thin rope of the sled to his other hand
 "Epigrams are usually more clever than true," he finally responded, with twinkle in his eyes. It had been in his mind to sharply defend that charge, but he reflected that 1t was unwise to assume the speech worth serious consideration. Moreover, he had come to this toboggan party for healthful physical exercise!
 "Then you're guilty of an epigram," " retorted Gail, who was annoyed with Rev. Smith Boyd without quite know ing why. You can't believe all you are compelled, as minister, to say
 "That," returned Rev. Smith Boyd coldly, lis a matter of interpretation " He commended himself for his pa tience. as he proceeded to instruct this mistaken young person. She was a lovable girl, in spite of the many things he found in her of which to disapprove. "The eye of the needle through which the camel was sup posed not to be able to pass, was, in reality, narrow city gate called the Needles Eye"
 Gail looked at him with that little smile at the corners of her red lips, eyelids down, curved lashes on her cheeks, and beneath the lashes a sparkle brighter than the moonlight on the snow crystals in the adjoining field.
 "It seems to me there was some thing about wealth in that metaphor, she observed. her round eyes flashing open as she smiled up at him eff it

PASTEURlZED MILK IN FAVOR
Great Advantage in Process Is to ln- sure Freedom From Disease
 Producing Organisms.

The great advantage in pasteurizing market milk is to insure its freedom from disease-producing organisms This is a point which is constantly brought forward in favor of pasteuriza- tion of milk Of course the pasteurized milk will have better keeping qual1- ties than the same milk that has not been pasteurized and of course th1s is an advantage from the standpoint of the milk dealer, and is also an ad- vantage to the milk consumer.
 Outside the cost of the process, there are practically no disadvantages connected with the pasteurization of milk. This is especially true with the way pasteuriZation is conducted today There is absolutely no doubt but that milk properly pasteurized and prop erly handled subsequent thereto is just as healthful food for children as well as for adults as is raw milk
 Most of the commercial pasteuriza- tion of market milk at the present time is done by heating the milk to 145 degrees for approximately thirty minutes. This temperature and time of exposure does not change the milk physically or chemically to any appre- ciable extent If milk is heated to higher temperatures or for longer pe- riods of time, the creaming powers of the milk will be influenced-that is, the heated milk will cream less rapid | ly and somewhat less completely than the raw milk The milk will also ac- | quire, which is objectionable to many people, what is known as the cooked taste It is not probable that the nu- tritive value of the milk is injured;
 in fact, at the present time many phy- sicians advocate the heating of chill dren's milk to the boiling point.

 It is an inspiration" he told her, with a tone in his vibrant voice which sine had not heard before; and for that brief instant these two, between whom there had seemed some instinctive antagonism, were nearer iu sympathy than either had thought it possible to be. Then Rev. Smith Boyd hap pened to remember something The morality CT immortality of riches de- bends upon it's use" he sonorously stated, as he stepped out into the road again, dragging his sled behind him, following the noisy, lettering crowd with the number two bobsled. Mar ket Square church, which Is the one 1 suppose you meant in your compari- son with the rich man, intends to de- vote all the means with which kind Providence has blessed it, to the glory of God"
 And the glorffcation of the billion aire yestry," she added, still annoyed with Rev. Smith Boyd, though she did not know why.
 Again Rev. Smith Boyd drew her out of the road, almost urgently, and unnecessarily in advance of need, to permit a thick man to glide leisurely by on his stomach on handsled. He slid majestically onward, with happy forgetfulness of the dignity belonging to the president of the Towando Val ley railroad and vestryman of Mar ket Square church.
 That used to be lots of fun," re- membered Gail, looking after her Uncle Jim in envy.
 Market Square church has dis pensed millions in charity" the rector felt 1t his duty to inform her, as they started up the hill again.
 of it's like our church at home 1t costs ninety cents to deliver dime, she retorted, bristling anew with by gone aggravations "So long as you can deliver baskets of provisions in person, it is all right, but the minute you let the money out of your sight Il filters through too many paid hands I found this out just before resigned from our charity committee"
 He looked at her in perplexity. She was so young and so pretty, so charm ing In the ermine which framed hel pink face, so gentle of speech ant movement, that her visible self ant her incisive mind seemed to be tw' different creatures.
 Why are you so bitter against th' church?" and his tone was troubled not so much about what she had said but about her.

SHORTER FORM WELL CHOSEN
State Departments Use of the Word "Identic" Altogether Proper and
 Orthodox,

To not a few readers of the Eng fish and American notes" the word "identic," which was used by both gov ernments, must have seemed novel and rather unpleasing substitute for, or shortening of the familiar "identi- cal"
 The word has long been used, how ever, In diplomatic correspondence and documents, no doubt because of the influence exerted by the French, once the common language of inter national exchanges, and still familiar to more diplomats than any other one tongue The French say and write ''identique," and of that "identic" is natural translation.
 The shorter form, however, has a valid claim for preference, in that 1t says exactly what identical" says, redundancy which marks so many of our words ending In "ical." Why we persist In lengthening such sufficiently long words as "philosophic'' and geo graphic" with a wholly needless "af' it would be hard to explain-almost as hard as to explain the frequent ap- pearance of such absurdities as dis embark" "disassociate," "coincident- ally" and "superimpose."
 One should not be too fussy about such things, however, for in language whatever is, is right. and enough us- age makes any usage right.

IMPORTANCE OF DAIRY COW
Most Economical Producer of Human Food of All Domestic Animals
 She Is Here to Stay.
(By N. J. FRASER. Illinois.)

Since the COW is the most econom- ical producer of human food of all our domestic animals, and as she can live and produce milk on ration com- posed entirely of roughage, she will be the animal that will be resorted to in order to convert half of the energy CGour common crops, which is other wise unavailable, into human food.
 Another reason why the COW is here to stay, and will always be of vital importance in sustaining human life, is that babies and invalids ca.iAot be nourished on cornmeal musk alone.
 For these reasons, even after the time comes that there is an actual struggle for human food, the dairy COW will still be vital and abiding factor in a system of permanent agri. culture, if we are to retain a hlgn degree of civilization.

Just now, as she sat on the |Nen chairs and the four benches of R mahogany panelled library, amid wealth of serious-minded sculpture |nd painting and rare old prints, she M bathed in a new ecstasy of painful nOyment.

 At the vestry meeting, Lucille said"
 "Oh," and Mrs. Sargent's brow cleared instantly. Jim introduced them. wonder where Jim is?"
 The door opened, and Jim Sargent came in, wiping the snow from his stubby mustache before he distributed his customary hearty greetings to the family.

think on the question of increas-
ing the school tax levy, which has
stood at 20 cents on the hundred
dollars for years.
Overcrowded conditions In the
school room mean more or less
ineficiency which the teacher can
not prevent, and lack of most eff
cient service in this respect comes
costly to community for the rea-
son that the ordinary time requir-
ed to acquire the education In
tended for a child is heightened
over one, two or three years, max
ing it much more expensive pro-
position for a community of 500
school children than would be the
case if such needs were met by an
appropriation of funds sufficient
to secure the service of one or two
extra teachers.
The school tax levy can't be in,

highly probable that those who
