Nature Not to Be ThWarted.

About 200 years ago the Dutch de-
stroyed every nutmeg tree in the Mol
uccas, and planted the trees in their
own possessions, so that they might
have a monopoly Of the trade. De
spite this action, however, the is
lands were constantly being restocked.
For a long time the thing was a mys-
terry, but finally it was solved. The
doves of that region are of large size
and readily swallow the seeds Of the
nutmeg tree. They traverse wide
stretches of sea and land in a few
hours, and they deposit the seeds, not
only uninjured, but better suited for
termination by the heat and moisture
Of the birds system.

How to Remove Oil Stains.

To remove oil stains from leather
and paper, ETC., apply pipe-clay pow
dered and mixed with water to the
thickness Of cream, and leave it on for
four hours. This will not injure the best
colors. For boards, marble and other
stones make strong solution Of car

much unslaked lime as it will absorb.
Then stir it together and let it settle
a few minutes; bottle it and cork tight

it when used and scour the part with

on the boards or it will draw the color
out of them.

to squeeze himself into a very exclu.

looked around for a possible partner
at a game, and approached stout gen

social standing. Certainly, sir" re-
piled the latter, in answer to the new
comers invitation. Then, as they ap-
preached the first tee, he went on: "By
the way, I'm a four man. What are
you?" The novice was startled, but
after a minutes consideration, he said :
Foreman, are We? Well, I'm a straw

Would Take the Job.

Into the office of the Wall Street
Journal there ventured a small boy,
awed by the great adventure Of getting
his first job. Timidly he approached
an editor and explained what he
wanted.
"Hm," quoth the veteran to the
would-be recruit, otis too bad, but
there are no vacancies now, unless
you would like to be managing editor.
How about that?"
The youngster began to back away.
"Oh," he gasped, 81 wouldn't like
that at ALL"
Yesterday he came back, with des-
peration in his eye, and marched up to
the veteran.

nounced. "When do start in?"

LAND OF QUAINT BELIEFS
Superstitions Rife in Engiand's Black
Country Are Among the straneest
Put on Record.

Taking into consideration the fact
that it is a typical Industrial area, it
is strange that the Black country
should be such a hotbed Of supersti-
ton.
A dog bowling in front of a house
in the night is a sure sign of the ap-
preaching death Of one Of the house
hold. The dog, however, must howl
in the front and not at the back of
the house A marble rolling down the
stairs means that one of the children
is bound to die.
When baking was invariably done at
home there was the superstition that
if the top Of the loaf came off in the
oven death would soon overtake some
member Of the family.
A Black country miner is full of SUI
perstitions. If he dreams of fire or
meets on going to work a cross-eyed
woman or a wooden-legged man he
will not descend the mine. Something
is sure to happen if he does-at least,
he thinks so.
The strangest of all superstitions,
however, is associated with common or
garden parsley. There is nothing
wrong about sowing the seed and RATS
ing the herb, but it must not be trans
planted. Most terrible things are
bound to happen if this is done Lon
don Mail.

FINDING PLEASURE IN WORK
Quite Possible for Anyone to Get All
Needed Amusement From Every
Day Occupation.

Of course we are entitled to it. And
we should take great pains to secure
the fullest measure Of it. So much
may be taken for granted; the impor-
tant question is, when and where shall
we find pleasure? Sir Walter BagehOt
gave his opinion that Business is so
much more amusing than pleasure" I
suppose he meant that a man who is
in love with his work will get more
real 'fun" out Of it than was ever
gathered in so-called "places of amuse-
ment." Many of our pleasures do lit
tie more for us than kill time. They
do not kill care, for it comes back
again the next morning. He is a wise
man who more and more learns to get
his amusement out of the serious work
he is doing. Then if he takes an Oc-
casional hour Or day for sport Or the
passing show" he will come back to
his real task in life to find his real en-
tertainment. The other day I heard
a scrub-woman singing at her work.
I prefer to think that she sang be-
cause she was having a good time.
At any rate, what finer art than that
Of having a good time in the thing
which one has to do? Immensely
wiser and more profoundly philosoph-
zeal than the practice of planning for
the good time afterward-George
Clarke Peck.

Oxide of Iron.

Oxide Of iron, explained in simplest
terms, is a combination Of iron and the
gas, oxygen! The rust that gathers on
a piece Of iron exposed for length of
time to the air is form of oxide Of
iron. Iron is seldom found in a pure
state. The iron ores taken from mines
are ferrous compounds, that is, from
combined with other elements-with
oxygen, sulphur, phosphorus, etc. In
the manufacture of iron from the ore,
these substances have to be got rid of.
If iron ore contains high percentage
of iron, it is valuable.

CHESTNUT CHARLIE

WASHBURN DEFEATS WILTON:
CHALLENGES C0LEHARB0R

Washburn, n. D., Feb. 22.-Wash-
burn defeated Wilton, in a basketball
game at Wilton Tuesday evening, by
score of q to 20. The Washburn
team went down with only twogof the
regular players, three having been
barred on account of being behind in
their school work. On the other hand
Wilton had been allowed to put in two
town players. The arrangement from
both sides contributed to make the
contest fast and interesting.
Washburn was ahead only one point
at the end of the first half. In the
second half, Wilton took decided
brace and went one basket ahead of
their opponents. Captain Knudtson,
however, got in some rapid work and
the tide was soon turned. King did
his usually fine wrok for Washburn.
Hubert Schulze proved most salts
factory substitute, while Walter
2'Schweizer kept his opponents guess
ing throughout the game. Herman
Bischof and Ernest Klein showed up
well.
Wilton did some excellent team
work but it was weak in throwing
baskets Gilmore, Richards and o.
