There was no need of celebrating Ar
Dor day in Prussia in the days when
Friedrich Wilhelm l. was king, for that
monarch had a plan all his own by
which he replenished the forests and
kept the country well supplied with
fruit trees.
According to Das Buch fur ALE, the
king. having observed Tat there was
q great dearth of fruit and. oak trees
i'm Prussia and not being willing to
undertake the tremendous expense of
reforesting the country himself issued
an order to all clergymen that, after
June 81. 1920. they should refuse to
perform any marriage ceremony unless
the groom could produce evidence that
he had just planted six fruit trees and
an equal number of oaks. If it was in
winter or in the middle of a dry sum-
mer, when plants would not grow, the
groom had to produce and lay aside a
sum of money sufficient to cover the
cost of the trees and promise to plant
the required number when fall or
spring came.
The edict worked wonders. The next
generation in Prussia had no lack OF
fruit and oak trees.

If a Naturalist Painted.

If 1 were to paint the short days of
winter I should paint two towering
icebergs approaching each other like
promontories, for morning and even
ing, with cavernous recesses and sol
itary traveller wrapping his cloak about
him and bent forward against the
driving storm, just entering the narrow
pass. l would paint the light of ia
per at midday, seen through a cottage
window. half buried in snow and frost.
In the foreground should be seen the
sewers in the fields and other evidences
of spring. On the right and left of
the approaching icebergs the heavens
should be shaded off from the light of
midday to midnight with its stars, the
sun being low in the sky.-Henry Da-
vid ThOreau.

OF the 100000 or so dwellings In
The United States 96 per cent are pro-
tected-at least to some extent-by
fire insurance. But of our 10O.0OO,OOO
inhabitants only Is per cent have TAX
en- out life insurance policies. Men
seem to be more uneasy over the mere
possibility of the burning of their
houses than over the stern certainty
that death will some day overtake
them. This is a strange contradiction
in human nature. To safeguard the
nations material possessions is well,
but how much more valuable than the
homes are the human lives of the
country! In this age, when the prin-
ciples of life insurance are SO well
understood, there should be no such
discrepancy between the number of
homes and of lives insured. In many
instances the former could not be
saved from foreclosure were the earn
ers of incomes to pass away leaving
the families unprovided for. 1t is as
much the duty of every man to insure
his life as to insure his property, and
if he has no insurable property there
is all the more reason for insuring his
life.-LeSlie'S

How to Ride.

In riding sit erect and don't SLOUGH
along. Don't try to be a cowboy if
you are not. We have the real simon
pure cowpunchers and broncho bus
ters; also we have the tin horn variety
of the same species. Steer clear of
the latter: also be careful not to get
into this category yourself.
Remember that a horse is only flesh
and blood and not a machine. He gets
tired. hungry and thirsty. and for
goodness sake, treat him accordingly.
Because he is a lively horse and you
are paying his hire. treat him white
just the same. Remember that some
one else rode him yesterday, and an
other will probably do so tomorrow.
Give your horse the same kind of a
deal you yourself would demand
you were in its place. Even a broncho
has feelings and will appreciate your
houghtfulness.-Out

The Colder Hsmisphere.

Dr. George c. Simpson of the Indian
meteorological service at Simla, in In
dia, who asserted that the southern
hemisphere is much colder than the
northern, gives in the Scientific Amer
lean the reasons on which he bases his
opinion The air is warmed not by the
rays of the sun, which simply pass
through it, but by the earth, which alb
serbs the rays. Now, in the northern
hemisphere there is much land toabsorb
the energy of the sun and to give heat
to the air. In the southern hemisphere
there is much less land, and all the
land within the antarctic circle is per-
manently covered with ice, which forms
a virtually perfect reflector and which
sends back into space most of the solar
energy that falls upon it. Five mil
lion square miles of the earth's surface
in the southern hemisphere reflect into
space a large part of the energy re-
ceived from the sun-a fact that in it.
self is enough to account for a consid-
cradle difference in temperature.

John GalswOrthy. the English play
wright, tells of the wit of an actor
named Littledale, who in one play had
to leap into a river to escape a wild
beast
1.-THE stage was so arranged that the
river was invisible. LittledaIe's leap
usually ended on a soft mattress in
the wings, while a rock was dropped
into a tub of water to create a splash
Everything went on all right at re
hearsal, and the night of actual per.
Torrance came. When poor LittledaIe
jumped he fell eight feet and landed
on an oaken floor with a crash.
THE audience set up a litter. But
the heroic Littledale was quite equal
to the occasion. Heavens he shout.

To make a piece Of ice explode the
irst step Is to put on plate lump of
clear ice about as large as your fist.
Then with a reading glass or the lens
Of a magnifying glass focus the suns
rays so that the bright spot of light is
exactly in the center of the lump. In
4 little time the ice will begin to melt
from the inside, and after a few mo-
ments a small cavity will appear. for
the ice, having expanded in freezing,
will not take up so much room when
melted The cavity, being entirely sur
rounded by ice, will be a partial vac
uum, filed with a watery vapor of very
low pressure. When you have melted
a large cavity lay the glass aside and
let the ice melt in the sun. Turn it
occasionally so that it will be sure to
melt evenly round the cavity. After
awhile the cavity will be surrounded
by a thin shell Of ice. Then, because
of the great pressure on the outside
about fifteen pounds to the square
inch). the thin walls will suddenly
collapse, and the ice will fly in all di-
rections.-Youth's Companion.

ItaIy's Marriage Brokers.

Marriage brokers are regular insti
tuition in Italy. In Genoa there are
several marriage brokers who have
pocketbooks filled with the names of
the manageable girls of the different
classes, with notes of their figures,
personal attractions, fortunes and 9th
er circumstances. These brokers go
about endeavoring to arrange matri-
monial alliances in the same offhand
mercantile manner which they would
bring to bear upon a purely business
transaction, and when they succeed
they get a commission of 2 or per
cent upon the dowry and sometimes
bonus as well.

instinct Of 5Iackbirds.

While residing in the country some
gears ago and walking out one evening.
I found a nest of young blackbirds.
The young birds were almost hedged.
Taking them home with me, put them
In a cage and the next morning hung
them out under tree, and in about an
hour / saw the old birds at the cage,
evidently delighted to find their young.
The old birds came regularly every
two hours and fed them with worms
and grubs. This continued for two
days. the old birds trying all in their
power to get the young ones out. On
the third day 1 noticed the old birds
bring a berry. which they gave the
young ones. two of which died that
evening and the rest next day. The
old birds then left off coming. The
berries on examination proved to be
the seeds of the AtrOpa belladonna or
deadly nightshade. This convinced me
of what 1 had heard about these birds
destroying their young if allowed to
feed them in Imprisonment. I am told
that other birds have the same instinct.

Courtinq In Spain,

In sunny Spain etiquette is so very
restrictive in the matter of courtship
that it is a wonder that young people
ever manage to get married at all.
Even when, after many difficulties, the
engagement is accomplished, the par
ents have a deciding voice in fixing
the date, and, as they prefer long en-
gagements. the wedding day is usually
fixed somewhere in the dim future.
The best man and maid of honor are
expected not only to fulfill the usual
duties, but to contribute-sometim
very substantially-to the expenses Of
the wedding feast. Wedding cake is
unknown. but instead packets of sugar
ed almonds are distributed among the
guests and sent by post to those who
are unable to be present.-Kansas City

One Misery of AnqIo-Indian Life.

Every niFht at dinner the Anglo-In-
dian holds kind Of levee. The in
sects which attend dance gayly round
the lamp, and one has to watch ones
plate and glass carefully lest some of
the insects should dance into them.
There is one insect-a little. fat. brown.
shining creature-which emits the
worst odor in the world. If one of
these touches your food the whole is
tainted and rendered inedible. You
dare not kill these pests, for if one be
squashed the whole room becomes fill
ed with its disgusting smell and is
uninhabitable for the next half hour.
So these abominable insects fly about
with iInpunity. while the poor Anglo
Indian must perforce look helplessly
on and inwardly sigh "spero meliora."

a Painter,s Broken Arr.

A friend once entered the studio of
George Inness, the American land
scape painter, while he was at work
and remarked that the picture on the
easel seemed to him much better than
certain former works of the artist.
"Rightw said Inness. This is going
to be one of my best things, and the
reason is that l have had the good
luck to break my right arm and am
obliged to paint with my left hand.
You see," he added, showing his right
hand in a sling, this hand had be-
come so darned clever that could not
catch up with it, and it painted away
without me, while this hand''-shOw-
ing the left, with which he held his
brush-'is awkward and can do moth
ing without me-"

How 70 soften the Elbows.

Sometimes u woman who has pretty
arm is troubled with dark. rough ell
bows and coarse skin on the back of
the arm just above the elbow. In either
case it will take some time to restore
the original soft white flesh. Purchase
some liquid green soap. which is really
yellow in color. make a good lather
with it and rub it well into the skin.
Leave it on for about five minutes,
then rub it off thoroughly with warm
water and dry very carefully. Care
less drying of this part of the arms is
the usual cause of the roughened skin.
After the cleansing apply a skin food,
rubbing it in well.
If the harsh surface does not yield
readily rub the rough place with a
pumice stone, then treat as described.

Only One Athens Now.

There is and has been for many cen
turtles only one Athens. But antiquity
knew no fewer than nine cities OF
towns Of that name in various parts of
Greece. and even in the time of Plau-
tus it was sometimes felt necessary to
distinguish the great one as Attic
Athens" 1t was natural that Greek
cities should take their name from
Athena, the goddess of wisdom, war
like prowess and skill in the arts of
life, who. according to some legends,
herself founded the City of the Violent
Grown. Others ascribed the naming
OF the city to Theseus or other myth
cal kings. The "s' of the terminat ton
is real plural, for the city was given
a plural name (Athenai). as being made
up of several Constituent parts.-Lon.

A few lines written by Jefferson to a
friend in a foreign country ruined the
warm friendship which had existed be-
tween him and Washington. The let
ter is known historically as "Jefferson's
letter"
Jefferson sent letter to Philip MAJ
Eei, an Italian, in April. 1796. Mazzei
published an Italian translation OF 1t
in Florence the next year. 1t was re-
translated into French and published
In French newspapers, from which It
found its way into the British papers
and to America.
In this letter jefferson opposed the
Jay treaty and commented freely
against Washington and his admins
tration as Anglican, monarchical and
aristocratic. This letter destroyed
Washington's faith in jefferson.
