Plants Fifteen Feet High.

Tomato vines 13 feet tall may some times be grown in garden, but as far as investigations have shown that IS the limit. A few years ago large field of tomato plants of that height was grown in Charleston, w. Va. but two Workmcn in factory in Glen brook, Conn, have grown one plant on trelliS, from which the tomatoes could be picked at height consider ably above ones head, and the actual length of the vine reached 15 feet Popular Science Monthly.

ONE THING WELL.

oualty of great value is the abl- ity to concentrate the mind on what one is doing. If problem is to be solved. an intricate business proposi- aon to he made clear, piece of mech onism to be understood or any task in he accomplished, time and energy ore saved, and the task is better done, bv concentration, says Milwaukee Journal. If man allows his mind to he distracted by external things, i'm nortant points and helpful ideas are likely to be overlooked with unsatis- factory results. Beecher said: An intense hour will do more than dreamy veors" Charles w. Eliot says "It is good rule to endeavor hour by hour and week after week to learn to work hard. It is not well to take four minutes to do what you can ac- compish in three. It is well to learn to work intensely" The old adage, Work when you work and play when YOU play" is founded on sound sense, and if understood and acted on will prove a great advantage. Whatever is before you to do. set yourself in tently at 1t. The habit of concentra- ton may be cultivated even by the most volatile. A constant endeavor to acquire the habit will bring about sur prising results and such as will be found of value. Trying to carry on too many kinds of business at the same time has proved many mans ruin. With too many irons in the fire some will burn, and it is more than likely that 1t will prove to be those that least well can be spared"

The fact that the French export trade in silks was considered prosper ous during the first half of this year is evidence, even when the rise in prices is discounted, of the recovery from the effects of the war which the Lyons silk manufacturing industry has made. Returns as reported by the British consul at Lyons give the total value as 210,966,OOO francs, 4O,716,- 43S). compared with 15S,377 ,444 francs (S30, ,566, 76D, and 206,911, 900 francs ($39, ,933, ,S23), respectively, for the cor responding periods in 1915 and 1914. As compared with the first six months of 1915 there was thus an increase of more than 50,0O0,0O0 francs in the first half of this year, and an increase of more than 100000 francs, compared with the corresponding six months of 1914.

Effect cf Language.

Few people have ever dreamed how great Is the effect of the employment of language upon mankind. Now and then we are face to face with persons who suffer from color-blindness, and we recognize that the affairs of life trade generally, travel and warfare pnrticularly-could never be left to mality. Yet the whole of human life in communities seems to be conducted by persons who Lave no language sense, who have no understanding of the words they employ or who are en- shaved hy meanings that have been at tached falsely to words for genera tions.-New York Morning Telegraph.

Because we have two eyes the things we see seem solid and not flat. with the result that we can judge their dis tance from us with fair correctness says Popular Science Monthly. Look through window at house across the street with one eye closed and then with the other eye closed. The bars of the window frame will cut across the opposite house in different places. The two fields seen with the eyes separately, although in the main alike, differ. When you look at the house with both eyes open, the two fields seen by the two eyes are con- bined and the house across the street assumes depth and relief. Although we see a house with each eye we see only one house with both eyes This makes the stereoscope possible-an in- strument designed so that the two eyes are made to converge on a single point and yet see two different pictures. If these pictures represent chair as it would appeal to the right and left eyes, respectively, they are perceived as one solid object.

According to report of the vice consul at Havana, raw pasture in that country Is selling at $15 to 500 an acre. The beef raised upon it is worth 6ia to ' cents pound on the hoof. It is plain that the Cuban cattleman is making no more money than his neighbor in the United States. Yet a good number of ranchmen from this country are mak- ing plans for the purchase of land there. The success of certain Ameri- can interests in growing cattle in Ven ezuela has encouraged others to make the venture outside the confines of the United States. All of this Is an indi- cation that in this country the day of the big ranch is passed. If we are to have an adequate meat supply 1t must come from the farm of average size where the raising of live stock goes hand in hand with the tilling of the soil, says Houston Post. Only in that way are our farms to be kept fer file and eur cities fed.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

It was an exceedingly small dog, but US ferocity was almost alarming. As Wistrom passed the house with the stone front it darted out from the side passageway in perfect fury of angry excitement and pursued him with par- oxysmal barkings the entire length of the low fence that separatel the lawn rom the street. A day or two later the same thing occurred This time Wlstrom made a threatening demon stratlon with his umbrella. Ii was an unwise thing to do, for it did not have soothing effect on the little animal which from that time forth seemed to lie in wait for the young man, who lived only few doors away. The mo- ment he came in sight that brown, marry streak would shoot from the passage, leap at him, all but scaling the tiny pickets. and raise such a clamor of hatred that 1t seemed the whole street must be alarmed. Wis trom became more and more resent tul The dog got on his nerves.
 One morning as Wistrom started out he noticed that the front gate of the house with the stone front had been left open. He gripped his umbrella tightly and took a deep breath as he heard the preliminary yelp of defiance at the passage entry. The next mo- ment the dog was at the fence and the next he had discovered the open gate and was out on the sidewalk at Wis trom's heels. Wistrom stopped. The dog retreated, still barking furiously he went on and the dog was again yap. ping at his heels. Then, without turn. ing, Wistrom brought his umbrella around with vicious force and-oL joy !-caught the dog sn the ribs.

Well, muddy and wet as he was, Wistrom slowed him underneath his coat, to the coats and a white waist coats ruin, and half an hour later he was ringing the bell of the house with the stone front. An elderly woman an- swered the ring and went into ecstasies of delight at the sight of the dog. It was quite a touching reunion. She the elderly lady-was most grateful to Wistrom, too, and so pleased to learn that he was a neighbor. The poor dog, she explained, had been confined to the house in consequence of ruffianly young hoodlum having abused him, and so being let out for exercise had scampered off.
 Wistrom coughed behind his hand. "Yonr daughter will no doubt be glad to see her pet again." he said, politely.
 My daughterT
 "I-er-supposed the young lady to be your daughter" said Wistrom. "A rather tall young lady, with blue eyes"
 "Oh," said the lady of the house, that was my niece, who was making me a visit a few weeks ago. She went back to Dubuque and was married last Thursday. A lovely grill"
 
 Rags was growing at his rescuer. And the next morning as Wistrom passed he ran out and parked at him as savagely as ever.

"Oh, you coward 1"

OH, you cOWaru !!
 It was a clear, youthful feminine voice. Wistrom looked up as the house door slammed and a girl with very pink cheeks and abundant yellow hair--a very pretty girl-came running down the steps and caught up the bowling dog in her arms.
 How could you be so cruel as to hit poor little dog like that?" she de- handed, turning an indignant pair of very blue eyes on Wistrom.
 TT didn't exactly mean to hit him so hard" lied Wistrom in some confu- sion. You see"
 But the girl turned her back on him contemptuously and ran up the steps and into the house. carrying her pet with her.
 It was remarkable thing, but Wis trom instantly regretted hitting the dog.
 All day long he thought of the girl with the blue eyes and yellow hair and the more he thought of her tue more poignant became his regret. After all, on eminent authority, 1t was the na- ture and delight of dogs to bark and bite and why should they be struck with an umbrella for following a pure ly natural impulse?
 For weeks Wistrom looked in vain at the house as he passed for some sign of the pretty girl. He did not even see the dog. On Sundays, when he was at home all day, he did nothing but sit by the window watching to see her. Some time soon, he thought, the chance would come, and then
 It came at last. that chance. Wis trom was walking down an obscure street one afternoon when he saw a forlorn and mud-caked little dog that was shlvering and whining disconso- lately in the shelter of doorway. There was something familiar about the dog, Wistrom thought, and he stopped to look at it more attentively. Yes. it was certainly the dog. If there had been any doubt about 1t the way he snarled and snapped when Wistrom stopped to pick him up would have in- stantly dispelled 1t. Undoubtedly the dog had strayed away.
