MistIetoe an Odd Parasite;
Has No Use for the Earth.

The story of how the mistletoe gets
on the trees is most interesting one.
Covering the InistletOe twigs are
pearly white berries. These come in
the winter season, when food is COM
paratively scarce, and hence some
birds eat them freely. Now, when a
robin eats a cherry. he swallows SIM
ply the meat and flips the stone away.
The seed of the mistletoe the bird can
not flip. 1t is sticky and holds to his
bill. His only resource is to wipe 1t
off. and he does so, leaving 1t sticking
TO the branches Of the tree on which
he is sitting at the time. The seed
sprouts after a time, and not finding
earth-which, indeed, it's. ancestral
habit has made it cease wantlng-lt
sinks it's roots into the bark OF the
tree and hunts there for the pipes that
carry the sap. Now, the sap In the
bark is the very richest in the tree,
far richer than that in the wood, and
the mistletoe gets from it's host the
choicest of food. With strange fore
sight it does not throw its leaves away,
as do most parasites but keeps them
TO use in winter, when the tree is lear

ing for the right kind of wife. 1t is
often the matter of simple luck that
he gets the right one.
The well-seasoned bachelor has had
so many lessons in the book of life
that his studies on woman and her
nature should be valuable to him. He
knows the pouting sweetheart would
evolve into grumpy wife. He knows
there is nothing like sulking wife to
make homelife unhappy. He is wise
enough to steer clear of the young
woman who would do all the talking.
He can see far enough ahead to real
ize that her tongue would run on in
cessantly through all the. years. No
matter how much the f1irt has attract
ed the bachelor in other days, he is
wise enough not to take her to the al
tar. A flirting sweetheart is bad
enough, but a wife whom other men
were making eyes at-oh, never! The
bachelor can judge with much accu-
racy whether or not he would be suit
able for woman when he has been in
her society few times.
There is one great and glorious good
trait about the bachelor when he does
meet the right woman, he surrenders
straightway and loses no time in ask
ing for her heart and hand. He makes
one of the best of husbands. Places
outside of home have no longer a lure
for him. He is forever grateful to the
woman who has married him; realiz-
ing that the first and best years of his
life have been squandered and that
only the husks of life's fruitage re-
main for her. His devotion makes
up for all else. The bachelor does not
exist who does not secretly admire
modest, noble womanhood.

The First Sponge Farm.

Around the shores Of an island or
the west coast of Florida has been es-
tablished the first sponge farm in ex-
istence, it is believed. 1t is estimated
that 100000 sponges are thus being
cultivated. The method is simple.
Concrete disks, about ten inches In
diameter, are sunk, the bits of sponge
being first attached by small piece or
aluminium wire; this is tc hold them
in position as a safeguard against be-
ing washed away. One disk is planted
or dropped for every square yard.
Fully so per cent of the sponges plant
ed mature. The water possesses suf-
ficient nourishment for them, and, I'M
like other farming, sponges require no
cultivation during their growth. They
may be left alone after planting until
they are large enough to gather.

Here Are Simple Tests by
Which to Tell Whether
You Are Physically Fit.


In the last analysis, the condition of
the fibers of mans heart determines
his physical fitness. Or, stated in an
other way, man is not physically ut
unless his heart fibers will stand ces-
tain tests. These tests have recently
been reduced to such simplicity by
French army surgeons that they may
be applied by any intelligent person;
and they offer an excellent hygienic
suggestion for persons in civil life for
determining their physical condition.
The tests as described in the bulle-
tin of the French academy are made
as follows: The first test consists in
having the subject, after the pulse rate
at rest in the standing position has
been determined in the usual manner,
execute running steps on one spot,
with the thighs, at the rate OF two
steps a second. At the end OF one
minute the subject stops and remains
standing, while the pulse is counted
for fifteen seconds in each minute, ans
continuing the count until the pulse
rate has returned to normal, or nearly
so. If the pulse rate has returned to
normal by the end of the second min
ute, the subject is considered fit for
any kind of hard physical exertion.
If, at the end of the second minute,
the pulse rate is over thirty in the
fifteen seconds-that is, 120 beats per
minute instead of about seventy-five or
eighty, it is a sign of slight weakness
of the heart Such condition, how
ever, may be corrected by proper treat
ment, and treatment should be under
taken at once.
In the second test the subject, while
standing, raises a ten-pound weight
over the head, then brings it down be-
tween the legs with the body bent for
ward, repeating this for one minute at
the rate of one cycle in two seconds,
or one second for each upward and
each downward movement. The pulse
rate Is then tested as in the first ex-
ercise.
This second test is considered some
what more eXacting than the first;
but either is adequate for practical
purposes.

How He Lost His Friends


He was always wounding their
feelings, making sarcastic or funny
remarks at their expense.
He was cold and reserved in his
manner-cranky, gloomy, pessimistic.
He was suspicious of everybody.
He never threw the doors Of his
heart wide open to people nor took
them into his confidence.
He was always ready to receive as
sistance from them but always too
busy or too stingy to assist them in
their time of need.
He regarded friendship as luxury
to be enjoyed instead of an opportu-
nifty for service.
He never learned that implicit, gen.
erous trust is the very foundation stone
of friendship.
He never thought 1t worth while to
spend time in keeping up his friend
ships.
He did not realize that friendship
will not thrive on sentiment alone,
that there must be service to nourish
it.
He did not know the value of
thoughtfulness In little things.
He borrowed money from them.
He was not loyal to them.
He>never hesitated to sacrifice their
reputation for his advantage.
He measured them by their ability
to advance him.-Success.

to destroy the natural symmetry and
shape of the specimen. This natural
ly symmetrical shape is precise and
fairly regular in it's occurrence due to
type structure explained later.
To remove unbalanced parts.-It is
common practice to prune in order
to thicken the head, strengthen the
specimen, and create a more dense
shade. This is the question that most
interests us in the general shaping and
care of ornamental trees. We want
to know how to "top" our soft naples,
and whether or not we should top the
elm at the same time.
Tree Structure.
TO understand topping we must
study tree structure. Trees are either
opposite or alternate leaved.
In the Opposite-leaved trees the ter
minal bud develops a new stem. The
side buds develop also and each in
turn develops terminal bud and side
buds. This kind of tree forms nat
urally leader" or stem that grows
straight from the ground to the top of
the tree and the limbs unless accident
ally injured tend to develop symmetric-
ally about it-e. g., the maple.
When you top such a tree or in 9th
er words remove the terminal bud,
you give more strength to the side
buds. They develop more abundant
ly, thickening the tree and reducing
it's spindly length, until it becomes
Such tree should be topped before
1t gets so old that the cut will not
heal over, and the cut place must be
made smooth and waterproof. On the
other hand the alternate-leaved trees
tend to send branch first to one side
and then to the other Side-e. G., the
elm.
Until the tree grows out of reach
of our hand and strength we can keep
it bent straight or the one-side bud
removed so that it will tend to send
up a straight stem. But as soon as 1t
gets beyond our reach the identity of
the trunk is lost in the branches and
one may not as rule trace the main
trunk clear to the top of the tree. If
such a tree is topped from time to
time we may easily leave the last bud
always on the same side of the stem
and tree will grow all to one side.
Beyond this we must consider the
natural strength of a tree. There is
no object in trimming or topping a
strong hardwood tree such as an oak
or a sugar maple that ordinarily would
not be broken in the wind. Such a
tree is naturally adapted to self-forma.
ton and unless injured by some ex
ternal cause will take care of itself.
There are two other things we must
know about trees. First, certain va
rieties or species will never make gooG
ornamental shade trees and should moi

Power of Flight That Is
Possessed by Birds One
of the Wonders of Nature.

There is nothing more wonderful in
nature than the power of flight pos
sessed by birds, and no subject which
yields more startling facts upon inves-
tigatiOn.
1.-The way of an eagle in the air" is
one Of those things of which Solomon
confessed himself ignorant; and there
is something truly marvellous in the
mechanism which controls the scythe-
like sweep of wings peculiar to most
birds of prey. Yet even naturalists of
the first order have had little or moth
ing to say about the power of flight in
birds, while some of them speak on
very insufficient evidence, says the
Boston Transcript.
Witness Michelet's statement that
the swallow flies at the rate of 240
miles an hour. Roughly this gives us
1000 miles in four hours, but natur-
ally, even in it's swiftest dashes, the
swallow does not attain to anything
like this speed. But the Duke of
Argyll is rather under than over the
mark when he computes the speed at
more than 100 miles per hour.
The mechanism of flight in the swal-
low is carried through an ascending
scale, until in the swift 1t reaches it's
highest degree, both in endurance and
facility of evolution. Although there
are birds which may, and probably do,
attain to the speed of $50 miles per
hour, this remarkable rate is not to be
looked for in any of the birds Of the
swallow kind
In their migrations swallows stick
close to land, and never leave it I'M
less compelled. They cross straits at
the narrowest part, and are the most
easily fatigued of all birds. Apparent
ly, though they possess considerable
speed, they have no powers of sus-
tanned flight.

and vet of all vegetable growth culfiOafed BY

YN SPEAKING with a person re-
Gently concerning the dement's de-
h rived from the planting or shaue
trees, shrubbery and vines around
q house, he said: at is surprising u
me that more people do not give great
er attention to this phase of home de-
velopment. In my life have bullt nVe
houses and in every instance L nave

other shrubbery because I not only ad-
mfre them and love to see them grow
and develop but in the selling of my
property l have realized several hun
dred dollars more than l would have,
had there been no paintings made"
Another writer says: twenty-five
dollars would plant and care for at
least five elm trees for q ten-year per-
iod. It is a moderate estimate to say
that at the end of the second year,
building lot would be worth 500 more
for their presence. At the end of %
years no man who owned the land on
which they stood would take 500
apiece for them. Plant an elm or

maple near your home and look upon 1t
as a 500 endowment policy, maturing
in 1910, with no premiums after the
first year"
If five elm trees are worth $50 at
the end of ten years, for the return or
shade and attractiveness only, what
would be the value of five good bear
ing walnut trees. There is no tree
more handsome or suitable for plant
ing If only shade and attractiveness Is
wanted. We think all practical, and
really right-minded farmers agree
that shade trees beautify and enhance
the value of farm property, and the
wonder is that any farmer will neglect
to plant trees about his home. OF
course, they require some little atten-
ton for a while at least and later on
they must be pruned and cared for IL
the best results are to be had from
this form of investment. 1t would be
the height of folly to take the trouble
of planting trees, and then consider
that the work is ended forever on that
tree. To obtain symmetrical, handsome
trees, they must be pruned.
There is a right and a wrong way
of pruning shade trees. Topping
should preferably be done after the
leaves drop in the fall and before the
buds swell in the spring but it is safe
to do the work at other seasons.
Why We. Prune Trees.
To remove dead wood.-The reason
for removing dead wood is obvious.
1t is in the way. 1t breeds disease; it
is unsightly and dangerous. The way
to do it is to cut it out, removing all
dead or decayed portion. Smooth off
the surface so that water will not
gather. If cavity remains, paint it
with lead paint to keep out fungous
and insect pests, then fill the hole with
q material that will keep out the mois-
ture and squirrels and upon which a
new bark may find support to grow.
! To remove crowding branches
branches that rub against and bruiSe
one another when the wind blows
should be taken out as soon as pos
sible. The branch should be cut off
clean, close to the main stem with a
slanting cut so that water will drain
off. Then coat with tar or lead
paint to keep off water and insects
which bore into and lay eggs in green
wood.
To increase flowers and fruit.-In
order to understand this we must be
able to distinguish between leaf and
flower buds. The flower buds are usu-
ally larger and of different shape from
leaf buds. BY removing limbs or twigs
which contain only leaf buds we will
accomplish our purpose. The cut must
he made clean and smooth and If a
large surface of heart wood is left ex-
posed it should be painted. In remov-
ing such limbs care must be taken not

for the new, to suit his fancy. He
grasts that love usually changes a
mans entire nature. But the ques-
ton is, how long will it remain
changed? BY no possibility would he
drift into his old ways and notions?
OF all men the bachelor should be the
most clever in choosing the right kind
of wife to make him happy.
The callOw youth, who has not had
his experience, is apt to make the mis-
take of his life by imagining fervent
admiration to be the grand passion.
When all is said and done, the man in
his thirties is not much wiser. He is
just as apt to stray far afield in search

Much Soil Washed Into the Sea.

An average of 95 tons of soil and
loose rock is washed into the ocean
every year from every square mile of
the United States. This estimate does
not include the Great Basin. The i'm

better comprehended when it is real

and get rather closely trimmed in the
factories. If the original fur was left
on in all its bright meadow tints of
roam, bay and piebald, to match the
tweeds that business men wear in
magazine stories. the issue of beauty
would take care of itself as far as
most male footgear is concerned, and
