Christmas trees-where they come
from, how many. and the means
used to bring hundreds OF train loads
OF them to the markets.
But the Christmas tree and the holly
and the other greens which go so far
toward making the holiday ''atmos-
phere" are doomed to extinction IN
less some means are taken, to repro
duce them. The state of Vermont
alone furnishes five million trees for
the eastern markets each Christmas
time and unless means are taken 10

THE VAMPIRE WHO WON MIL.
LIONS.
CHE was woman beloved by two
~ kings. She sold the secrets Of
each to the other, and made millions
In the process.
Louis XIV first loved dainty Louise
de la Querouaille. But the historians
say that she proved unfaithful to her
royal admirer. Louis did not let this
prevent him from sending her to Eng
land in the train Of court lady bound
there on visit Of state. And he told
Louise to captivate Charles II of Eng
land. Then she was to send him
news Of England's statecraft and to
influence Charles SO that he would
make concessions which the French
monarch wanted. For all Of which
Louis engaged to pay her handsomely.
Louise found the occupation SUCH
an easy one that she decided it would
be just us simple to sell Charles news
OF Louis and his policies. So she re-
ceived much gold from both kings but
: 1t Is said that she never informed
Charles Of anything more than trivial
matters, remaining loyal to her own
land,
This double traffic made Louise a
very rich woman. But her ambition
craved greater honors. She persuad-
ed the English king to make her
duchess Of Portsmouth, and as such
she was thoroughly despised by the
English people. In addition to
dealing in secrets Of state she
welded her influence at the two courts
to obtain many political appointments,
for which she was duly paid by the
appointees. But Louise was not suf-
ficiently wise to hold all Of this money,
/ for she became devOtee Of the gam
Ing tables and lost large amounts with
a superb indifference. At home she
induced Louis to, give her a high
position in the French court, telling
Charles that her visits to Paris were
for the purpose Of obtaining informa-
ton about the plans of Louis. Then
Charles suddenly died, in 1855. His
successor, James II, packed Louise of
to France, bag and baggage. Much Of
her wealth had been dissipated. She
found herself without an occupation,
her English possessions lost, and only
a scanty welcome at home. And in

fortunes and granted small pension
which served to sustain the arch spy

brief days.

Removing Tattoo Marks.

"A correspondent Of the Chemical
News says that tattoo marks will dis
appear by first being well rubbed with
a salve Of pure acetic acid and lard,
then with a solution of potash, and
finally with hydrochloric acid.
These marks are also said to be re,
moved by the application of satellite
acid and glycerin. A compress is an.
piled over the paste, and the whole
secured with sticking plaster. After
eight days the paste is taken off, the
dead skin removed, and the apn,ica-
ton Of the paste repeated Gas a rule
about three tilnes). The simplest and
easiest method Of removing tattoo Is
said to be that Of tattooing over the
marks with pure milk.
