BECOMES IRKs0ME AT TIMES
No Matter What the Nature Of Ones
Occupation, Its Routine VIII oc-
casionalIy Weary.

Are there times when your work be-
comes intolerably Irksomei Yesi Well,
don't jump at the conclusion that you
are In the wrong place when this hap
pens once In awhile. That viii be true
whatever work you choose. No matter
how well adapted you are to your occu-
patton, there will come times when
your thoughts dll wander, and the
routine will weary you, and you will
feel that any other work would be
preferable to that which you have
chosen. One of the best-known woman
writer's of the last generation wrote
nm impassioned warning 10 literary as
pirants, telling them TO do any work,
even scrubblng floors in preference TO
taking up literary career. Undoubt-
edly she wrote at time when her
chosen work seemed unspeakably irk-
some, but II she had been cornered,
she would probably have acknowledged
that the profession Of authorship has
considerable to commend 1t when com,
pared with scruhhlng floors.
This occasional impatIence with our
vocation ls inevitable. No matter how
congeninl II is, there are times when Il
VIII seem a burden. The people who
change their occupation every time II
begins to bore them, are the tramps Of
the business world.

CAUSED BY WEIGHT OF SNOW
Simple Explanation Of Odd Shapes Of
Trees, That Has Been 4 Mystery
70 Many.

To the person who Is not versed in
forest lore the grotesquely bent tree
trunks that are to be found In almost
all woods are mystifying, and wonder
Is often aroused as to the cause. re-
marks the Popular Science Monthly.
Foresters will tell questoners that In
the case Of trees In mountainous coun-
try and other sections where the snow
fall is heavy. the weight Of snow is re.
sponsible In most instances for the
queer twists they assume. When a
tree Is young the weight OF snow that
falls on its branches often bends the
trunk over until Ii Is flattened to the
ground. Sometimes II Is buried under
six or eight feet Of snow and held In
that position SO long that when warm
weather comes the tree fails to spring
back Into its normal position. The
summer sun causes the tip Of the young
tree to turn upward and II II manages
to Withstand the weight OF the snow Of
tn1 htAt "ihttfi lhht poIlion VI lIt
tree will, as general rule, continue to
grow In q normal way. 'Hairpln' bends
and other odd shapes result.
A curious tree stands on the top Of
Tunnel hill, Johnstown, Pa, about four
miles from town. II Is sugar maple
about one hundred years old which has
prolonged Its own life by grating u
branch into a much younger tree.

As to Remarkable [ .noeyIty.

We have all read Of Thomas Parr
who lived TO be one hundred and fifty
two. Likewise Of the countess of Des.
mond, one hundred and forty.fiye
Margaret Patten. one hundred and
thirty-seyen; Thomas Damme, one
hundred and slxty-four; John Royin,
one hundred and seyenty-two; and Pc
ter Torton, who reached the age of one
hundred and eIghty-fve. But these
cases of extraordinary longevity lack
proof.
In the days when those persons
lived no accurate chronological records
We're kept and dates OF occurrences
We're usually fixed by assoclating them
In memory with other events believed
to have happened about the same time.
A mans identity was liable 10 be con-
fused with that Of a grandfather Of
the same name.
Nowadays nobody lives to any such
ages. Why imagine that the extreme
limits Of longevity have shrunk within
the last two or three centuries7

How to Tel AQe Of Euus.

There Is simple method of ascer.
taining the age Of eggs, based upon the
fact that the airy space at the broad
end OF the egg Increases with It's age.
Now, when the egg is placed In a
tumbler of water In which any amount
OF common salt Is dissolved, 1t Will.
with increasing age, tend ever more to
assume position with Its longitudinal
axis In a perpendicular direction. A
fresh laid egg will lie horizontally on
the bottom Of the vessel. An egg from
three to four days old will rise with its
broad end. so that Its longitudinal axis
forms with Its horizontal axis an angle
of 20 degrees. At the age of eight days
the angle increases to As degrees, at
the age Of two weeks TO 60 degrees.
and ut the age Of three weeks to about
10 degrees. When the egg Is more
than month old II win float perpen-
dlcnlarly on Its small end.

lie who marsels at the beauty of the
world in summer will find equal cause
Tor wonder and admiration in winter,
IL Is true the pomp and pageantry are
swept away, but the essential elements
remain-the day and the night. the
mountain and the valley, the elemen,

petual presence of the infinite sky. In
winter the stars seem to have rekln.
