Ancient Deodar Trees of
India, 800 or 900 Years
Old, Considered Sacred

The natives of the hill regions of
India consider the deodar tree almost
sacred. AS its name implies, it is the
tree of the gods, and around many of
the picturesque little temples one sees
magnificent groves of fine old deOdars,
perhaps 800 or 900 years old, trees that
no one would dream of cutting, for
they are considered as the personal
property of the gods. Even should a
deodar fall down from old age, no
hillman would dare to use it's timber
for his own private needs. Misfortune,
as he believes, would certainly result.
If a house were built of the sacred
timber either the house would refuse
to stand, or-what is the more usual
form of the gods displeasure-the
owners family would fall victims to
some terrible disease, or his crops
would fail to ripen. A hillman who
has had to pass through one of these
groves will carefully remove even dry
needles that have stuck to his feet for
fear that he may arouse the gods dis
pleasure by inadvertently removing
some of his property.

iZe the investment and equipment.
This was one of their first reasons for
seriously considering the establish
ment of a college.
Doctor Carson, the head of the in
stitutiOn, is an enthusiast for the far
reaching. civilizing effects accomplish
ed by such institutions as Stony
Brook. He had a practical hand in
the beginnings at Mortified, where
ne used to sweep out the cottage OF
Mrs. Dwight L. Moody. and also at
Wln0na Lake, Ind, where he was so
early on the ground that he had TO
sleep in an old corn crib pending the
construction of new buildings. Doc
tor Carson "a forceful and aggres-
sive Christian minister who firmly be-
lleves that the success of the nation
| depends upon the American peoples
getting back to the simple, trusting
faith of its. fathers and to the undi-
luted Gospel of Christ
Distinguished evangelists have had
their share in the development of
Stony Brook, among them DR.. J. Will
bur Chapman, in whose memory there
was recently dedicated beautiful
parkway leading from the Stony Brood,
railroad station to the auditorium.
This parkway is the gift of Doctor
Chapman's widow
The Stony Brook assembly not on,v
holds its land on the heights, but has
also acquired considerable extent Of
shore front on Long Island Sound NOT
far from the village. This is an old
community of unspoiled inhabitants
who have never made an attempt at
profiteering at the expense of their
| hundreds of summer visitors. The
neighborhood abounds in historic To-
calities. and one of the finest exam
pies of colonial architecture in tbe
United States is the Presbyterian
church at Smithtown, which is in .
remarkable state of preservation.
The Presbyterian church is accus.
toned to fervent family discussion
concerning the second coming O.
Christ, as a result of which two
schools of thought have arisen. one
called the pre-millenarians and tbc
other the post-millenarians. From
some who have misunderstood tbe
facts a notion has gone abroad that
Stony Brook was partial to cultivatino
one of these schools. Doctor Carson
emphatically denies that Stony Brook
/ is committed to either the 'Pres" q,
/ the Posts" He insists that STONY

New Medicine Discovered
In France Is an Extract
From Popular MiStletoe

There is a brand new medicine, just
discovered in France; it is the extract
of our old friend the mistletoe. Or.
Charles Green Cumston, Swiss CORE
spondent of the New York Medical
Journal. in reporting it to that paper,
says, however, that the American mis-
tletoe will not do, as it's effects are
different from it's French sister.
The new preparation is called Wis
cum album. 1t was discovered by DIR.
Faultier and he and DR.. Doyen have
had great success with it in checking
certain forms of hemOrrhage. 1t is
given either in the form of pills or in
iections into the veins. It's effect is to
dilate the blood vessels by paralyzing
the vasomotOr centers of the nervous
system; to increase the systolic energy
of the heart and slow the heart beats
to cause contraction of the unstriped
fibers of the muscles.
Intestinal hemorrhage due to typhoid
fever is checked by it, and it is said to
be admirable for use in hardening OF
arteries.

SenegaIese Soldiers Wear
SpectaCIes as Ornaments
To Impress ComDatriots

Those whom fate has condemned TO
wear spectacles may have some diff
ficulty in believing that anyone could
regard these articles as ornaments, TO
be worn with pride and pleasure. This,
however, is nevertheless the case with
many of the Senegalese soldiers who
fought in the war. While on leave in
Paris, on their way home, MAN, of
these gallant warriors have invested in
spectacles as the surest means of i'm
pressing their compatriots.
An )ptician relates that when he
tried 70 sell a pair of spectacles with
plairs glass to a Senegalese whose
sight was obviously excellent, the sol
der complained that they were no
good because they did not make
everything look funny" The optician
Immediately supplied the soldier with
a pair of concave lenses that would
have done very well for a short-sight-
ed student. The customer was salts
fed at once, paid, and went out, col
hiding on the way with various pieces
of furniture.

| Northern Siberia Burial
Place of Mammoths That
Were Victims of Climate

In the region Of the Lena delta, IN
far northern Siberia. there is a gigan-
tic species of mole which. burrowing
underground. dies if by chance eN-
posed to light. 1t has enormous tusks,
and the half-savage nomads OF the
country sometimes use strips OF .ltS
thick hide for reindeer harness.
Truth to tell. the mole" is the long
extinct mammoth, and the last sur
viving specimen persisted long, before
the earliest dawn of human history,
says a writer in Philadelphia Ledger.
Indeed, it may very well be that lOO.0oO
years have passed since the youngest
mammoth walked the earth.
In their day these huge animals
roamed in herds all over northern
Siberia, where the climate was mia
and salubrious. But there came a sud-
den change and Jack Frost established
reign in that part of the world. The
mammoths, huddled in valleys, were
overwhelmed by snowdrifts, when
hardened to solid ice, preserving their
bodies intact even TO the present time.
Now and then the hot sun of the
short arctic summer melts out and re-
veals to view one of the great carcasses
the meat still fresh enough to be
fed to dogs. The eyeballs of one speci-
men found on the Tas river, between
the Obi and the Yenesei, were as per-
feet as if the animal had been killed
only day or two earlier.

Oranges, Lemons, Pineapple
and Apricots as Medicine

A diet of oranges will clear muddy
compilations and reduce superabund-
ant curves. Lemon, taken internally,
quenches thirst and prevents the bad
habit of overindulgence in ice water.
Lemons clear the skin, assist the di-
gestion and help one get rid of fat.
Applied externally, they are bleach
that will remove stains from the fin
gers or neck, freckles from the arms
or cheeks and sallow blemishes. Pine
apples are said to sweeten the voice,
restore the quality of it, if it has
grown husky, and aid digestion, which
means they will help to beautify the
complexion. Apricots are used for the
same purpose, and are much. favored
in oriental countries.

Raccoons Closely Related
