PLANTS AND MEN

Plants do not think, yet without
thinking, they carry out very elabo-
rate plans for getting food, for fertil-
ling themselves with the aid of bees
and other insects, for guarding the
seeds until the right moment, for scat
tering them, with the aid of the wind,
water. birds and animals, and for in
surfing their termination. Some plants
set traps of almost incOnceivable in
genuity, depending on what would
seem to the casual observer an absO-
Lutte knowledge Of bee psychology.
Plants fit their environment just as
well as men fit theirs, and, perhaps,
somewhat better. The results that
we get by taking thought they get in
some other way, fully as mysterious
as human thought, and possibly of as
high an order in the great scheme of
the universe.
A flower serves it's purpose, which
is to live and to propagate it's kind,
and man, biologically, can do no more.
Flowers, wild or cultivated, probably
grow more complex in their organiza-
ton and functions as the ages pass;
no less and no more can be said of
men. Plants fight with their kind and
with other forms Of being for the gift
Of life, and so does man, although
as one is tempted to say-with less in
telligence. The thought Of these
things quenches arrogance and gives
the lie to pessimism. What are our
petty doubts and sorrows? In us and
in the humblest weed is the same in
extinguishable life force, moving,
whether purposeful or not, as though
it had a purpose.-San Francisco Bull
Ietin.

STOP. LOOK AND LISTEN

The grade crossing danger has be-
come far more serious question since
the use Of the automobile has be-
come so general. 1t is question that
worries railroad managers probably
even more than it does the general
public, moreover, for every grade
crossing accident subjects the compa-
nies to possible claims for damages,
to say nothin gof the possible damage
to trains themselves. To eliminate
all grade crossings is, of course, out
of the question, as the expense would
be monumental. Therefore, railway

FOX FARMING

In fur store over at Milwaukee
four pelts lie upon the counter, each
worth $1,000. They are from the
silver-black fox,-a wonderful crea-
ture with deep fur and a thick long,
black tail, tipped with white. One
skin suffices for a collar, one for a
muff, and they actually sell at that
princely price.
At nearby Reedsburg may be view
ed the very animals, furtive and wild,
that bear such regal coats. All are
imported from far-off Prince Edward
Islands in the Canadian wilds, but not
even one, bless you, is sacrificed for
its fur They cost too much, their en-
terprising owner, DR.. J. S. Collins,
paying not merely $500 each, but
actually $4,000 the pair! A live fox,

as one dead, contrary to the conven-
tional theory of exasperated farm
ers whose chicken houses have been
raided. Perhaps they are more easily
killed than caught, but at the Collins
place, at any rate, they are kept sole
ly for breeding, or, in a speculative
way, for sale to other fox farmers.
Of course, ultimately, there must be
straight-away slaughtering for hides.
Not everlastingly may mere propaga-
ton be pursued, else finally the coun-
try will be over-supplied with foxes in
captivity, whereas what milady fair
earnestly Graves and for what she is
willing to pay is fluffy material for
the richest accessory that it is posi-
BILE to find for her costliest gown.
Not all Collins foxes are silver
blacks by any means, but probably
as beautiful creatures of the species
as exist even in all Canada are there
being made successfully to reproduce
their kind under conditions wholly ar
tiicial and unnatural.
A unique experiment, it is certain
to attract much attention, scientific
and therwise.-Madison Democrat.

Unless you are well advanced in years
your hand should be steady.
If your hand, your thumb or foot
trembles when you try to hold it still,
If the lines are shaky when you write,
If you have tremors ofyour ps or chin,
your nerves need Strengthening.
These signs often precede a serious
nervous breakdown. In meeting this
condition it is necessary to exercise care
in the diet and take a pervine tonic.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills contain in
gradients that build up the nerves at
the same time that they tone up the
system in general and their value in
preventing nervous disorders from de.
veloping cannot be disputed.
They are especially recommended for
nervous, rundown people because they
are non-alcohOlic tonic.
If you have any nervous troubles
write today to the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine Co., Schenectady, N. Y, for their
little book on nervous disorders. It
gives methods of home treatment and
