/ ONCE A TERM OF REPROACH
"Grass Widow" Used by Teutons to
Indicate an Unmarried Mother
Other Possible Origins.

The term grass widow very like
ly originated from the wording of
canon law of the eleventh century
which ordained that a widow should
remain "urder Gods protection and
grace" for a full year after her hus-
bands death, and then marry if she
pleased. Such women were widows
of grace" and in later parish registers
they are described as "grasse wild
owes" In the time of Sir Thomas
More the term grass widow" was
applied to unmarried mothers, and in
this sense it was used in most of the
Teutonic languages. In modern times
the term lost that reproach, and has
been applied to the wives of men long
absent from home. Another expana-
ton of its origin is found here in the
United States. During the days of
gold rushes it was common for men
to board out their wives until they had
made enough to start home in the
West, and this, in the picturesque
speech of the time, was termed put
ting ones widow out to grass"

REVERSE METHOD OF NATURE
How Japanese Produce Dwarf Trees
Which In Many Cases Are Re-
markedly Beautiful.

There is a general impression that
the method of producing dwarf trees is
a secret that the Japanese have never
divulged, but the course to be pur-
sued is really simple. The whole sys-
tenn Of culture may be summed up as
the reverse of natures method. IT
really consists, not in the survival of
the fttest, but rather in the survival
of the unfittest. A poor. weak seed is
usually chosen and planted AS soon
as 1t has attained some growth the
leading shoot is trimmed off. The lit
tie plant then grows two other shoots,
and these are carefully watched. When
one shoot exhibits strength and vi
tality greater than it's fellow, it is at
once cut off, and the weaker shoot is
untouched in order TO form the future
dwarf trees main stem or trunk. This
system of trimming and cutting is fol-
lowed punctiliously. Water is seldom
used-only In very small quantities TO
keep the little plant actually alive.
The tree is kept in a pot too small for
its full development, and the roots are
constantly pruned. The shoots are
carefully trained and bent to follow
the growth of a large tree. All this
requires great patience, but the Jap
anese never tire watching the growth
of the tree from day to day, week to
week, and month to month. When the
tree has been growing for about five
years, it can then be practically left
to take care of itself 1t has become
accustomed to its training. and its sur
roundings. and, like force of habit. fol-
lows the course laid out for it. In this
manner some very magnificent speci-
mems of dwarf trees are produced
which In their miniature beauty and
majesty compare favorably with their
big brothers in the unframed forests.

How to Retrieve Stamp

Most people do not know that an
unused postage stamp which has been
attached to letter. that 1t is decided,
later. not to mail, can be very easily
separated from the envelope it cleaves
to-without the troublesome soaking in
water that takes time when one wants
to use the stamp in a hurry. And most
people do want stamp in a hurry.
The trick is simple enough: Simply
tear the envelope from the stamp in
stead of trying TO wrest the STAMP
from the envelope. Cut the envelope
away from the stamp. leaving just a
margin of paper for thumb and finger
to grasp; then with the stamp turned
away from you and the paper toward
you, begin to peel away the paper at
one corner of the stamp, then another,
then another Presently the paper will
be loose at all the edges and a little
care viii get 1t quite off the stamp at
the center. Try this, next time you
want to use an already pasted-down
postage stamp and see how easy it is.
