Flower LANGUAGE.

In remote Alpine hamlctS and VII
lagos, especially in the BerneSe ODER
land, there still exist ancient and
pretty customs of proposing marriage
by Il language of flowers. If a maid
accepts bouquet of edelweiSS from
man she at the same time accepts
him as her fiance. the idea being that
the man has risked his life to OBJ
tain the flowers for the woman he
loves.
Another method which exists in
the canton of Glarus is for the young
man to place flower pot contain
ing single rose and note on the
window sill of the girls room when
she Is absent from home, and wait
perhaps days-for a reply. If the
maid takes the rose the young man
boldly enters the house to arrange
matters with her parents. but if the
rose is allowed to fade away the pro-
posal Is rejected without single
word having been exchanged between
the couple

Nothing Really Remarkable About
This Tree.
Considering Its Variety and the Place
Whence II Comes, II Could
Hardly Avoid Having
Criminal Nature.

The Boston Globe, In Its "Odd Items"
column. prints an item about a tree
which absorbed some OF g rail fence.
We have lost the item, so we don't
know where this tree was, or is, but
il couldn't have been anywhere near

nal. II 1t had, the owner never would
have had the nerve to mention 1t In

Of a relative of ours.
Our relative had been soldier In
his youth, and when he bought this
farm he brought to it a number of
shrubs, trees and flowers collected
in his wanderings about the earth.
This particular tree of which | speak
was of the Thlevohunnish variety, and
came from Prussia.
1t grew rapidly after 1t was set ont
and crowded out all other growing
stuff for 20 feet around. In ten years
1t was three feet through, and in Is.
four feet through at the base.
The peculiar thing about this tree
was not its rapid growth, however.
Let us explain. Our relative built
barbed-wire fence by this tree and to
save driving post nailed 1t to the
tree. Well, the ends of the fence be-
gan TO disappear Our relative thought
someone was shipping off the ends of
the wire for some reason. His wife
was Of the opinion that the wire had
too much wool in 1t and was shrinking
in the dews and rains In any case
from 10 to 90 feet of the wire would
disappear every night.
My relative finally gave 1t up, and in
about two weeks the wire had disap-
Peared entirely and the mystery was
greater than ever. We simply couldn't
trace 1t.
Then we began to miss articles left
near the tree. A hired man left a
scythe in its branches one night The
next morning it was gone
Some one left pail near by and
that disappeared.
Finally the matter was brought to a
climax when the blooded bull calf
which had been tied to stake near
this tree vanished during the night.
About this time my relative noticed
that there seemed to be an extraneous
growth of some sort of about six feet
above the butt of the tree. He began
to have his suspicious about this tree.
He determined to sacrifice the tree to
satisfy his curiosity. He got an AK
and chopped If down Inside the tree
was the scythe, hundreds of yards of
barbed wire, the partially diSmem-
bered carcass Of the calf. pals, stones,
pair of oyeralls, one overshoe and
many other articles.
The tree had criminal nature and
developed a kleptomaniac streak.
Everyone was glad to see that tree
cut down.
