Watch For Your Chances.

"Every young man has chances COM

sometimes hear q fellow say, I had q
chance once, but didn't take it. Never
mind the chance that is past; watch
out for the next one and qualify to be

Trees In Paris.

Paris maintains municipal nursery
where expert care and attention are
given young trees. The forestry de-
partment Of the city government is as
well organized as the public health or
street cleaning department. and Its
staff is selected carefully.
From the day 1t Is set out In public
square or street each tree bears dis
tinct identity Of its own and Is the spe-
cial ward Of an expert gardener. Men
who tend the trees have regular routes
like lamplighters or policemen.
Every tree is numbered, and q record
Of its development and its condition Is
kept-its state Of health, the dates on
which trimming or pruning Is neces-
sary and all other details.
The height Of each tree must bear
harmonious relation to second and third
story windows, and, more important,
its position so far as heat, light and
wind exercise influences upon 1t, Is
studied.-Kansas City Journal.

The impatient optimism that shakes

Eraorant Wild Flowers.

Readers Of the American Botanist
have been trying to decide which is
the most fragrant American wild flow
er, and their opinions on the subject
exhibit remarkable diversity. In New
England the majority give first choice
to the pink azalea, with the white wa
ter lily second. There are many votes
for the trailing arbutus; but, as the
editor suggests, its fragrance is doubt
less overestimated owing to the fact
that 1t is the earliest fragrant wild
flower Of spring. Other candidates for
the first place are the partridge berry,
the common locust, horned bladderwort
(of which John Burroughs says, In
warm moist atmosphere the odor is al
most too strongly, yellow jessamine,
spotted wintergreen and some Of the
magnOlias.

minded riders besides the little piece
Of pasteboard which entities them to a

wife hurried up to the door Of Broad

reached into his pocket, handed the
doorman some tickets and, assisting
his wife before him, turned to receive
the stubs. "These are subway tickets"
said the doorman. At the rate Of two
pockets per second the young man
searched himself. Then he clapped his

being accepted.
Remarking on the efficiency of the re-
cruits, their chief instructor, Captain
Loskoff, said:

that these women learn with double

educated girls, but also of the peasant

patriotic desire to save Russia from

Tricks Of Bombing.
When the Canadians first introduced
bombing the bombs were improvtsed
out of mess tins, the fuses were cut
according to the taste and judgment
of the individual bomber, and just
when the bomb would explode was
more or less problematical. Frequent
ly the Germans have tossed our bombs
back into our trenches before they
went off. That was dangerous and ir-
ritating. They can't do that with a
Mills grenade or any Of the improved
factory made bombs, because the men
know just how they are timed and are
trained to know just how to throw
them. Then the Germans used to
work little bomb trick Of their own.
They learned that our scouts and raid
ers were all anxious to get German
helmet as souvenir. They'd put he'll
NETS on the ground In No Mans Land
or In an advanced trench with bombs
under them. In several cases men
looking for souvenirs suddenly became
mere memories themselves.
In several raids when bombing was
new the Canadians worked trick on
the Germans with extensively fatal ef-
feet. They tossed bombs into the
German trenches with six inch fuses
attached. TO the Germans they looked
Just like the other bombs We had been
using, and, in fact, they were-al but
the fuses. Instead Of having failed
to continue burning, as the Germans
thought, those fuses had never been
lighted. They were instantaneous fuses.
The ignition spark will travel through
an instantaneous fuse at the rate Of
thirty yards second. A German would
pick up one Of these bombs, select the
spot where he intended to blow up q
few Of us with our own ammOnal and
then light the fuse. After that there
had to be a new man in his place.
The bomb would explode instantly the
long fuse was ignited.
The next day when I got up after
this disastrous raid my hunkie said:
Something sure raised b. with our
calculations"
"As those automatic self cooking
revolvers did with a Kentucky we'd
ding when some one made a remark
rejecting on the BRIDE" I replied.

Why q Silo?

the trench. It seems silly to say It,
but seemed to get some sort Of salts
faction out Of the realization that We
had lost the percentage which we
might be expected to lose going over.
Now, It seemed, the rest Of US were
safe until we should reach the next
phase Of our undertaking. I heard d.
rections given, and I gave some my
self. My voice was firm. 1t surprised
me, and I felt almost calm. Our ar
tillery had so torn up the German barb
wire that it gave us no trouble at all.
We walked through it with only few
scratches. When We reached the low,
sandbag parapet Of the enemy trench
we tossed in a few bombs and follow
ed them right over as soon as they had
exploded. There wasn't German In
sight. They were all In their dugouts.
But we knew pretty well where every
dugout was located, and we rushed for
the entrances with our bombs. Every
thing seemed to be going just as we
had expected 1t to go. Two Germans
ran plump into me as I was rounding
a ditch angle with bomb in my hand.
They had their hands up, and each OF
them yelled:
