cxnress Tree ACES Old.

A cypress tree, exhumed from
small asphalt pit in southern Califor-
mia, has lately been identified by the
curator of a Los Angeles museum as
a relic of the Pleistocene or Glacial
age. AS such it was contemporary
with the mastodOn, the saber-tOoth
tiger and the giant ground slOth. The
find is considered the more remark
able, because no living specimens of
the cypress are to be found in the
vicinity. The tree is in an excellent
state of preservation, too, thanks to
the action of the envelOping tar. The
bark is intact in many spots, and is
unchanged except for the discoloration
incident to long contact with the btu
minous matter Of the pit. The tree
lacks its roots and smaller branches,
but two Of the larger are still to be
seen.

FOOD AT 10 CENTS A DAY
AsboEeT's Allowance Was Indeed a
Mere Pittanee During the Sew
1enteenth Century.

In the early part Of the seventeenth
century the maximum wages a carpen-
Ter, stone mason or plasterer was al
lowed to demand was $50 year.
-Blacksmiths and shoemakers were
permitted to earn up to $50 a year.
Taii0Ts were limited to $40 a year. If
they worked by the day and supplied
their own meat and drink, stone ma
sons and carpenters were allowed to
demand as much as 81 cents a day; If
the master supplied the meat and
drink, the maximum daily wage was
only IS cents.
Women servants were graded in
ShEee classes, the maximum wages be-
7Hg $40, SIS and $40 a year, respec-
lively, for the first, second and third
classes. These yearly rates, of course,
were in addition to food and drink. A
woman worker In the fields was per-
7zzitted to demand up to IL cents day
and food and drink, or "a cents day
n she provided her own nourishment.
From these figures it would seem as
n Is cents for men and II cents for
- slAen was deemed sufficient to cover
reIIe daily cost Of food and drink. Even

In Addressing the Stranger.

Every locality in America has more
sJr less definitely defined nicknames
f1Ise residents call strangers when ad-
dressing them. In Philadelphia, for
.3nSfance, strangers are addressed as

ask the time from some one he didn't
anaw would say: "What time is it,
-Mack2"
Ont IN Seattle the common name
for a stranger is "Bo." This is prob
ably due to the influence of the 1. w.
W Lumber jacks, mine workers and
blanket stiffs' all go by the familiar
tsISme of "BO." The extensive use Of
7fliis term has gradually been adopted
say the more polite strata of society in
that section, and is now considered
good form.
In D'nver they have the breezy
vxsStem "BfH." In Chicago it is

Louisville it is Colonel" of course.
an Boston it is "Neighbor," while in
New York one Broadwayite insists it
Is "Ikey."

MOTHER EARTH CHOSE WELL
Old Lady's Decision on Green for a
coIoring Much More Than
Accidental.

Why did Mother Earth choose a
dress in green2 The earth was not
always green. Scientists say that
once it was as naked as the moon; but
there came a day when the weather
grew cool enough to demand clothing,
and at that time, no doubt, this mater
nal planet began to look about to
choose a color scheme for her dress.
Why she chose green is not on rec
ord, but that she chose it with her
whole heart every pleasant place Of
creation testifies.
Scientists explain that thisis merely
a natural phenomenon, the color being
chlorophyl pigment, turned green by
action Of the sun. But why it did not
turn blue or red or black, no scientist
knows. About all they can say is
that Mother Earth wanted a green
dress, and she got it.
Green is a restful color. Oculists
say that Of all colors green is the
most friendly to the optic nerve. In
lands where eternal SHOWS or eternal
white sands flash up their glaring re-
Elections. men have to shade their eyes
or go blind. But green never bothers
the eye. One can stare forest in the
face all day with impunity. Natures
greens never got on your nerves, and
they never quarreled with any other
of natures colors and tints.
The professional mixer of paints
knows that fierce color discOrd can
easily be created by a misplacing of
green. But nature never misplaces 1t.
Even blue stands without tying, cheek
by cheek with natures green's. Lark
spurs and lObelias go quietly arm in
arm with their respective foliage. A
rose Of any tint or color is best set
off by a green rose leaf. Every spring
or fall color, pale or ford, will shade
pleasantly into green on the very same
leaf.
Imagine the grass of the field and
the leaves of the forest created blue,
or magenta, or scarlet, instead Of
greenI Some speculative scientists
think the foliage of the planet Mars
is red, and that the people there are
seeing red continually.-Louisvil

LAX. That Has a Crust Of SALT.

Going through the weird region of
Death valley, in California, travellers
looking from their perch upon a hill
side where a wide view is commanded,
may see what appears to be a lake
of ice cleaning in the sunlight.
When the lake is reached one finds
It to be not of ice, but that 1t has a
crust of salt. The surfaces of these
lakes are wet in winter and dry in
summer, where drainage from sur
rounding highlands pours upon them
the flood of winter rains. Evapora-
ton is rapid in this region, and by
the time the dry season begins many
of the lakes have become crusted with
hard salt.
In spite of this abundance, it is
said that Europeans introduced the
use of salt to the United States
Popular Science Monthly.

HELPED BY ROYAL FRIENDS
Musicians of Old Days Found Valuable
Patrons Among Those in the
High Places.

Many a famous European musical
genius has been literally supported at
one time or another during his career
by "the great" many musicians being
connected with royal courts especially
In the days when there were many lit
tie princes.
Joseph Haydn for 33 years directed
and composed for the private con-
certs of the princes Of Esterhazy, dur
ing which period he created most OF
his best rhapsodies.
Beethoven had his life made easier
for him by the Archduke Rudolph and
Princes Lichnowsky and LobkOwitz.
These three mobiles we're his trueSt
admirers in a day when musicians oc-
cupied a subordinate social position,
and were regarded more or less as the
vassaIs of the family that supported
them.
On one occasion Beethoven was
asked to improvise before an aristo-
cratic gathering. He began playing,
but the conversation in the salon con-
tinued. In high anger Beethoven
arose, exclaimed forcefully though
rudely: ITO such pigs play no more J"
and dashed out of the room.
Mozart, anyone who has read his his
tory of music will remember, was
kicked downstairs by an upstart serv-
ant Of the Archbishop Hieronymus'
who was for many years his patron.

Pianos Require Fine Wood.

There is no other industry for which
a greater variety Of fine timber is re-
e1uired--and none in which the timber
must be seasoned more carefully than
TzEano building. The varieties include
Canadian spruce, American oak and
-whitewOOd. Honduras mahogany and
hest English beech. Sounding boards
are made Of Swiss pine, the "Ahies
eexcelsa." which is nothing but the IA
miIiar Christmas tree. All this tim
her has to be seasoned in a special
heating chamber, where it is subjected
Cor days together to a powerful draft
--Df dry air.
It was not until more than half Of
the Eighteenth century had passed
that the piano became popular.

WON NAME BY INGENUITY
Humorous Description Of How Phrase
~sNNise Men of Gotham" Had
Its Origin.

The phrase, ''wise men of Gotham"
came into being in a most peculiar
manner. Gotham was a small town in
Nottingham, far from the usual COM
gmerce of old England's highways. King
John, at the head of goodly company,
decided one day to so journey that he
Tcnld pass through the town. In those
days the passage of a royal retinue
9iuough a village meant numerous
gl"rdShipS for the citizens. The kings
Guards demanded food for man and
E1rast, and generally forgot to pay for
at. In addition, horseshoerS, car
Epcnters and other tradesmen were
called upon to do various work with
1nUt any return. The citizens therefore
devised a scheme to turn their king
from his path.
When his majesty came within a
fniie or SO Of the hamlet he met vari-
'Dus citizens engaged in the most out
1andish pursuits. One was attempting
- drown an eel, another attempting
to drag the reflection of an early
evening moon from a pond with the
aid Of a rope, another was building
n fence around a cuckoo that had lit
on a bush, and a fourth was attempt
7ng TO sharpen a sword on a bit of
chcSse.
The king decided at once that the
VILLAGE was a gathering place of mad
znCH. and ordered the route changed,
and his troops and gentlemen passed
around the supposed haunt of lunatics.
FjsTa this came the local proverb:

Thousands of chileren, many
of them almost naked, are roam

rope, grubbing out an animal
like existence" DR.. Livingston
Farrand, chairman of the Cen
trail Committee of the American
Red Cross, who has just return
ed from a tour of observation
abroad, declared in an address
here before members of Mahon-
ing County Ceapter.
DR.. Farrand drew a graphic
word picture of conditions abroad
which are crying for the services
of the Red Cross and asserted
that while the Red Cross can not
attempt to handle the entire pro-
blem of relief in Eastern Europe
it can hold up at strategic points
what, otherwise, would be a
sinking situation.
1--WE have today a complete
disruption of world economic
conditionf." he said. I'VE have
a state of general unrest ont of
which we can not yet see the
way.
"You can't replace the de-
struction caused by the war
without production and you can't
have production without humao
vitality. And Europe is simply
unable to produce because of the
lack of vitality as well as of raw
material.
There is a pressing need of
relief there now. How perma-
nent and far-reaching the answer
of the Red Cross shall be to the
call for help from Europe de-
ponds upon the mind and the
conscience of the American peo-
pie and that will be expressed
during the Fourth Roll Call.
"The conditions left by the
war are infinitely greater. inini-
tely more serious today than
ever before. If we don't take
the proper steps now we'll have
to take them 10 years later, if
then it isn't too late!"
DR.. Farrann declared that the
accomplishments of the Red
Cross in health work in the past
year were greater than during
the entire preceding 20 years.
He emphasized the Importance
of child welfare work, branding
as lone of the worst crimes in
our American life the fact that
every year we lose 300, 900 babies

Of one year"
