Women Are Not Persons
According to English Law

''PersOn" in the dictionaries Is de-
scribed as ian individual human be-
ing" But it is not so ID England from
legal standpoint. as women do not
come within the class. This was re-
vealed when the Royal Astronomical
Society of London decided to admit
women as fellows of the council. The
plan was found to be impossible until
the society had its charter altered.
Eligibles for election in the society's
bylaws were described as persons, !"
and when legal opinion was obtained
It was decided that a person" was
strictly of the masculine sex. The
change was made in the charter and
the clever women who had distinguish
ed themselves In star gazing were adj
mitted to the society.

After-War Coffee.

People old enough to remember the
Civil war are able to recall the fact
that after the close Of that conflict it
was difficult and often impossible to
obtain coffee. Various substitutes were
used, such as parched rye, but one that
was commonly utilized in Washington
and many other cities was sweet pO-
tatoes. The latter We're first roasted
and allowed to burn somewhat on the
outside. Then they were mashed in
water and boiled. The water was thus
transformed into coffee. by no means
so unpalatable as might be imagined.
Sugar in those days cost % cents a
pound But the sweet potato coffee
required no sugar, and so was an eco
nomical drink.

Miniature Trees Produced
by Permanently Curtailing
the Growth Of the Roots

Miniature trees used as parlor deco
rations generally belong to species
which under ordinary conditions grow
to a much greater height. These par
ticular examples owe their small size
to the fact that their growth has been
artihcially stunted The process Is
simple, according to Popular Mechan-
les.
Cut a thick-skinned orange in two,
and remove the pulp from one of the
halves. Coat the skin on the outside
with shellae to preserve it, and I'LL 1t
with fine, rich soil. Plant two or three
seeds Of some evergreen tree in the
soil, and set it in a room where the
growing plant win get plenty Of light.
Be careful to prop up the skin In
such a way that the shoot will grow
vertically; do not allow the room
where it stands to become overhead
ed, and water the soil in moderation
from time to time. When the roots
force their way through the peel, cut
them off flush with the outer surface,
and in doing SO be careful not to in
jure the coat OF shellac.
After the plant has attained matur-
ity it-may be placed in a large flower
pot, and will continue to thrive there,
but as it's roots have been curtailed,
it will be unable to draw more than
reduced amount Of nourishment from
the soil, and SO its growth viii be
permanently stunted. Cedars, pines
and even some fruit trees, endure this
process remarkably well.
