TIE CHRISTMAS STOCKING.

THE custom of hanging up stock
Il ings at Christmas comes from
Holland and Germany, where many of
the people wore wooden shoes. On
Christmas Eve these shoes were left
by the fireplace, filed with hay for
the weary horses of st. Nicholas as
he went his rounds. In the morning
the hay would be gone, and in its
place would be gift from the grate-
full saint.

Wild Fruit Worth cuItivatlng.

The presence of wild fruit in To-
cality helps protect the cultivated
ones, particularly if the former fruits
are similar to the latter and ripeI
earlier. Among those best adapted are
mulberry, wild blackberry, June ber-
ry, wild cherry and elderberry.

OPALS FROM TREES.
Process of Metamorphosis Shown al
American Museum,

Opals that grow on trees-or trees
that turn into opals-form one of the
latest and most interesting exhibits of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory. The opal, as gen. was com
paratively little used at one time. but
1T has been growing in popularity
during the last fifteen or twenty years
There are not so many people who now
hesitate to wear it because it has been
considered unlucky.
1t is the birth stone of October, lucky
for any one born in that month For
the October baby t'they' say; clay
an opal on her breast and it will sooth
her cares to rest The Joy of owing
one of the beautiful stones has
driven away dull care from many
people not of October birth Now the
Museum is showing the opal III tree
masses and it is so beautiful that its
popularity will be further increased.
1t cannot be exactly said that oapls
grow on trees and one cannot recon-
| mend growing a forest of opal trees
with a view to opening jewelry store.
Actually the opals are the trees which
have become opal fossils. 1t is a slow
process growing opals in this way and
binary horticultuIlst or minerologist.
The Museum tree opals were grown in
Humboldt County, Nevada, a good
many thousand years ago, in the days
when the great mastodon and the saw
age sabretoothed tiger wandered
through forests. Then there came a
great earthquake and physical up
heavings which uprooted mammoth
trees and turned rocky mountains into
swamps. That was when the opals got
| their start
The trees, many feet below the water
became water logged snags. This
swamp water had been changed by vol
canc action and was heavily charged
! with a solution of silica which changed
! the nature Of the wood soaking in it
while preserving the structure and
changed it not to the ordinary fossil
but into wonderful opals. Some are
only semi-opals, but others are the
most beautiful of gems, wonderful in
brilliancy and beauty. The Museum
shows the opal in its process of de
velopment up to IFS completion, in great
sheets of opal, lakes of it, flashing bril-
liant tones of red, orange, blue and
green, with dark specimens carrying
what look to be volcanic fires in glow
ling ge-reds.

FOUND DEAD IN MINE.
Gordon Emerson Killed BY Cave In At
johnson.

BURLINGTON, Jan. 24.-The body
of Gordon, Emerson, employee of the
American Mineral Company, was taken
today from the tale mine where the
man was buried by cave-in Wednes-
day afternoon. Shifts of men labored
necessarily to get to Emerson as there
seemed more than a chance that he had
been entombed alive
This belief was dispelled when the
miners mangled remains We're found
by the searchers near midnight Thurs
day the body being removed at 3 yes
terday morning. 1t is probable that
Emerson was instantly killed by falling
debris.

The foreign trade of the United

81, 900, 100000, as compared with a.
529, 100000 for 1914. Despite this gain,
which is partly due to increased prices,
Great Britain still retains leadership in
