RaviYinn pYina Trees.

A curious method of reviving Ian gulshing or dying trees was reported recently to the French Academy of Agriculture after being tested success fully in experimental gardens at Au' tun. according to the Popular Mechan. ics Magazine. The earth was first re' moved so as to lay bare the larger root branches, in which longitudinal slitS were then cut and kc?t orem b. wedges These cuts were well rubbed with lin seed oil. and after awhile numerous small roots appeared, forming a sort of fur. and the trees so treated rapidly gained new life and vigor. The method was recommended for trial in the case of languishing fruit trees.

Mock Suns of the Arctic.

The mock suns of the arctic regions are somewhat similar to the miragcs of the desert. As the long winter night of the polar region wunes once every twenty-four hours slight glow Is seen at some point on the horizon. Often accompanying this glow Is seen the phenomenon of the mock suns. Sey- eral degrees up In the heavens as many as five of these spectral orbS have been seen at one time Invariably they are all connected in a geometric figure, the suns seemingly bound together with circles and arms Of light. The eXpla- nation of the phenomenon is given by physicists as refructiOn and reflection of light from the real sun below the horizon OH the miSts in the upper at mOSpherc.

MANAGING A SNAKE.
How to Capture and Control Any Rep.
 tile Without Danger.

tile Without Danger.
 If you are quick and fearless you may manage any snake so long as you are armed with cane or q piece of wood like q cane.
 Push the snake around in any way that you can In order to prevent him from colling. When you have him in just the right position make q very quick move and place your cane across his neck just behind his head. Then you have him. He cannot get out of control.
 Now bend down and grasp the snake in the place where your cane rests, just behind his head. With your left hand nut his body under your right arm. No matter how cnragcd the rep tile may be he can do no harm as long as you hold him in this position, His body Is held by your arm against your side so he cannot coil around you or around any convenient object.
 In handling snakes in the house 1t Is essential to keep away from furniture or anything which the snake could coil about. They are very strong. and once they get themselves wrapped around any object 1t k exceedingly difficult to pry them loose. Popular Science Monthly.

DECLINE OF TUBERCULOSIS.

Only Poverty and Insanitatloh WIN
 Prevent It's Determination.
 If tuberculosis shall continue to de- crease in this country at the same rate as in the past half century 1t will be oblIterated in another decade. This Is the opinion of Dr. Cleayeland Floyd, expressed at the Harvard Medical school There are two conditions, how ever, Which will prevent the complete obllteration of this lung disease at pres ent, and these are poverty and lack or hygienic surroundings.
 Dr. Floyd said that almost everybody has the germs of this disease in his system, but that he Is able to resist their attack through living healthy life and through the protection of na- ture.
 Inhalation and infection are the two common ways by which person con- tracts tuberculosis. Children may get the germs in Impure milk, but outdoor play prevents the spread. It often hap pens, however, that when people go to work in shops or insanitary offices or live in crowded rooms the disease shows itself and gains a foothold. That Is why so many persons between the ages of nineteen and thirty-two acquire tuberculosis. Massachusetts, however, Is making a determined resistance against the disease, and good food, fresh air and good blood circulation form sure preventive. These should be guaranteed to every child.-BostOn Transcript.

The Kaiser's brow was sad

and darkly looked he at the sky,
and darkly at the foe. The
Yanks will be upon us before
the sun goes down, and if they
ever cross the Marne III likely
lose my crown > He called the
Crown Prince to him and said,
my hopeful son, it really looA $
to papa as though we'd have to
run. So tighten up your belt,
my boy, and take good long
breath, and run as ne'er you ran
before, we're threatened now
with death" The Crown Prince
called his army and thus he
spake to them; "My comrades,
tried and trusty, thou super
human men, for days we've
fought together to stem the ris'
ing tide of that schwinehund
bunch of Yankees, though it
seemed suicide I'm going now
to match my wits against their
feeble brain, and, for strategetlc
reasons. retreat up toward the

wouldn't give a darn. Two hun.
dred thousand boche have gone

wait another day we e'lla all give up

division in khaki garb appeared
upon the dim horizon, the Crown
Prince sure was skeered. Like
greyhound on a hot scent he
ambled toward the rear, and all
his columns followed and all for
bore to cheer. Aud thus com
menced the great retreat for

Crown Prince and his army con
tinued through the season.

S. S. Conger recently received
a letter from his son, Herbert,
who is now in France. He says
in part: have been here five
months now, and only twice
have / been in close proximity
with the KaiSer'So shells. The
first time was curious to see
what happened during an air
raid, but when the Boche drop
ped a bomb, a hundred yards
or so down the street, | made
the dugout three hundred
yards away before the shrap-
mel and shell splinters got start
ed on their way. The second
time l was working on truck
near an ammunition dump
when the Boche we're shelling.
A dugout is hole in the
ground, covered with eight or
ten feet of sand bags, cement
and rock with a door at each
end. During quiet times it is
inhabited only by rats the size
of sheep. In the front lines of
course the rats have TO share
with the soldiers, as it's the only
place inhabitable SO close to
the Huns. Another bird which
/ domiciles with man in the dug
out is a multi-legged beast
called the ''cootie." The 'coot-
lie" is a full grown brother of
the common gray back. The
only sure cure is a good bath
in boiling water. Two months
ago | was in a big prison camp
for few days and l never saw
a happier bunch of soldiers
than those German prisoners
SO many of them were young
sters under twenty years and il
seemed more like a picnic than
a hard labor camp for prison
ers. | only hope our boys IN
German hands are treated with
half as much considerations

Spanish-American Widows

Washington, d. c., June 49,
The President has approved
the Spanish War Widows pen
sion bill, of which Senator Will
liam H. Thompson is the auth
or. The new law grants $l2
per month for the widow and
50 per month for each minor
child under 16 years old, of a
Spanish War Veteran who
served at least ninety days dur
ing the war, pension to start
from date of application filed
with the Commissioner of Pen
sions. Until this law was pas
sed, for a widow of a Spanish
War Veteran TO secure pen
sion, the death of the soldier
had to be established as result
ing from wound, injury or dis
ease incurred from his military
service. The Thompson law
eliminates the death due to
service" clause and grants pen
sion on ninety days or more
service by the soldier.
Senator Thompson was
pleased TO receive from the
President the Vice President
and the Speaker of the House
the pens with which they sign
ed the bill.
This question has been pend
ing in Congress for seven years
