PUSCHKINIA LITTLE KNOWN

1t is surprising how little known is
the puschkinia among the bulb plants
that are worth while. 1t is a very
charming flower and is worth a place
in any garden. 1t is one Of the very
cheapest of the bulb family. The
bulbs only cost about one cent each.
When once placed they produce beau
tiful spikes of flowers each spring.
The spikes rarely grow more than half
a dozen inches high, but each of them
will produce from 10 to 30 flowers,
and they are lasting. The bulbs are
planted at the same time and in the
same way as other members Of the
bulb tribe, being set about three inches
apart.

KEEPING THE FORESTS ALIVE
BY ELIZABETH VAN sENrHuysEN

Mankind is very peculiar collective
animal. Somebody said that the av-
erage man spends the first half of
his life trying to destroy his health
and the second half trying to rebuild
it, That is surely his method of
handling most Of the propositions that
confront him.
This is more strikingly illustrated
in the case of forestry than In any
other respect. Once let the march Of
progress begin and the ring of the
woodman's ak is heard and the path
of civilization is marked by the fallen
trees. Then comes the time when 1t
becomes apparent that the rebuilding
of the forests is prime essential and
the people go to more trouble to recre-
ate what they have destroyed with Law
ish hand than would ever have been
necessary had little foresight been
exercised.
Showing the extent of the govern
mental interest in replanting the for
ests, there will be more than 100000
trees available next spring for refor-
esting operations from the stock now
in the Pennsylvania state nurseries
alone.
More than half of the 100000 are
white pines. Some figures on the re-
mainder of the stock will be of gem
eral interest. Norway spruce number
1013,000; Scotch pine, 1,2S3,OOO; pitch
pine, 100000; European larch, $4,000;
Japanese larch, $4,000; sugar maple,
1000; and Douglass fir, 1000.
Last spring 10 bushels of black
cherry seeds were planted, in the hope
that trees might be produced which
would serve for timber and for bird
food. The unfavOrable weather re-
suited in making the crop almost a
complete failure.
A million and One-half trees were
planted last year by private individu-
ais from stock supplied by the depart

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BITI
No foolishnessl Lift your corns
and calluses off with fingers
It's like magic!

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of a corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers If you
apply upon the corn a few drops Of
freezone, says a Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get a small
bottle Of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet Of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
1t is applied and does not even irri-
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get a small bottle for you from his
wholesale drug house.-adv.

USELESS FEAR or BACTERIA
Authority Says People Are Allowing
Themselves to Be Needlessly Wor.
rled over the Subject

To timld individuals recent arti-
Gle In the Journal OF the American
Medical association on "Bacterln on
Paper Money and Books" may bring
comfort.
The Sun has endeavored 20 present
only the most reliable scientific as
pect OF the subject OF germ diseases,
because the usual hasty generallza-
lions Of science and baseless asser-
tions which continually appear In print
under the guise Of scientific authority
sooner or later rebound TO the dis
credit OF real progress. An unwar-
ranted skepdcism is aroused and the
distrust OF an obvious mlsstntement
unconsciously becomes magnifed into
reactionary indifference 10 the better
contributions Of scientific men. The
championship Of half or conjectured
truths Inevitably acts I'm the course OF
time as a barrier 10 the very objects
which are sought in public reforms,
for In the end truth always prevails.
Some years ago the Sun called at
tention TO the erroneous idea that tu-
Derculosls may be contracted by per-
sons using the telephone mouthplece
which has been used by many others.
we showed that the postmaster gener-
al OF Great Britain had the mouth
pieces on the telephone under hiss con-
trol examined bacterlologlcally with
the result Of no disease germs being
discovered upon them. The Journal /
comments upon the popular opinion Of
rev years ago that the handling of /
soiled paper money was extremely dam /
gerous on account Of the bacteria that /
may adhere to 1t. The fact is that /
bank tellers do not share this aversion. /
nor do they present evidence Of ex-
cepdonal liability TO infectious dis
eases. II has been positively ascer-
tained and published in the Popular
Science Monthly that paper money con-
stitutes an unimpOrtant factor in the
of disease. While clean
paper money satisfies our esthetic
sense, 1t has not been proved that
soiled money is likely to become me-
dunn Of disease transmission.
With regard to books, It is the cus-
tom to disinfect them. when soiled, by
exposure to sunlight and air, but It is
fact that the hygienlc laboratory Of
Johns Hopkins has not found germs Of
for instance, on books COM
Ing from homes in which children had
been suffering from this disease. The
fact is that the majority Of bacteria
,ound on books are the same as those
'ound in atmospheric air, and that the
,olon bacterium, which is frequently
'ound on the hands Of schoolchlldren,
las rarely been found on the books
hey handle. There is really no ma
erial risk involved in the reissue of
looks recently read by consumptives,
lnless the books are obviously soiled,
nd even then the risks are very slight.
Since, however, bacteria like the
Uphold and diphtheria organism have
een occasionally discovered on arti-
cially infected books, there may be I
oOd reason for subjecting all returned
ooks to direct sunlight before redis-
!
Practically the danger from soiled {
honey and books is no more obvious
han the danger from the mouthpiece 4
the telephone.-New York Sun.

Gum Arabic.

Gum arabic naturally exudes from
the bark of acacia Senegal, a tree ma
tive to north Africa, though other
species Of Acacia are drawn upon,
however, yielding a slightly inferior
product. Tragacanth is from shrubs of
astragalus species native to Asia.
While astragalus are common in west
ern America none of them seem to be
of value for tragacanth. The most
shrubby local species is A. Brauntonii.

All Under Our Control

The whole scheme of our voluntary
actions, all that we do from morning
to night Of every day, is beyond doubt
intrusted to our control. And from
our inmost consciousness we do know
that, whenever we will, we can make
ourselves execute whatever we ap-
prove and strangle in it's birth what,
ever we abhor.

HIah Honor Deserved.

The father of the lifebOat in Amer
lea was James Francis, who was born
in Boston in 1901. He died in Wash
ingtOn in 1893, Three years before his
death congress voted him a medal Of
pure gold, said to be the largest and
finest ever given by this government
to any individual. 1t was presented to
him with appropriate ceremonies at
the White House by President Har-
rison and is now on exhibition at the

CHIEF BARTHEL ACTS AND
QUIET REIGNS.

Saturday, September 1st, COM
mittee of citizens composed of Hon.
]. c. Napier, Hon. j. w. Grant, Profs.
H. L. Keith, j. w. Work and w. H.
McGavock waited upon Chief OF
Police Alex Barthel, relative to the
riotous conduct of the soldiers in
the transfer station. Two nights
these soldiers stirred up a deal of
trouble with the Negroes who have
CHANGED to pass through the station.
One woman was insulted and struck
and one young man was badly cut
about the head and face. In --other
cases Negroes were attacked and cars
were stormed and it looked as though
Nashville was certain to have serious
trouble. However, the reception ac-
corded the committee and the con-
sideration given their report, indi-
Gated that all trouble would be avoid
ed in the future. True to his prim-
ise, to give the Negroes relief, Chief
Barthel took up the matter in most
determined and purposeful way, as
he always does and as a result, the
station is now patrolled' by guards
and all is quiet and peaceful.
