Value of Trees.

Men and animals have good reason for their
fondneSs for trees. 1t is not only because the
trees aid much to the beauty OF our streets
or because the attractiveness of rivers and
lakes and even of the seashore depends largely
upon the trees that we look upon them as ST.
lent friends. They help us in a more material
way than with their beauty great as that help
may be. They add to our physical comfort and
to our health Paris T. FarwelI in his Vii
lage improvement, urges the necessity of
planting and caring for trees for the sake of
the city's or villages beauty and healthfulness
The side of the street having the most
trees is the popular side in summer That is
because it is the coolest by about twenty de-
greeA. Mr.. Farwell tells US, for "a full grown
tree sends out 1877 gallons Of water through its
leaves into the air" Shading the ground alone
serves to moderate the heat And the air
around tree is more pure. The foliage takes
In carbonic acid gas. which is poisonous to u.s.
and gives out oxygen, which is healthful, in
deed Indispensable TO US. Medical authorities
recognize that trees promote the healthfulness
OF q community. The tempering effect OF trees
on the climate is not confined to summer In
winter they actually radiate heat in addition
to their benefits wind-breaks when planted
in ciumps and groves That it. pays to have
trees in the town and city and on the farm
ssead is shown by the fact that real estate on
growing sells for a better price No little of
the welfare and prosperity of town, CITY or
country depends upon its trees. and there is
direct connection between the attractiveness of
the community or of the home on the farm
and the love OF the citizens for their eommu-
nifty or OF the children on the farm for thei,
home.

Italian He was the son OF poor family, but
when II was found that he was the possessor
OF an unusual voice he was taken up and pro-
vided the education he needed To properly de-
veiop, What Caruso became the world knows
His was the greatest voice of his time.
Doubtless there are Carusos in America.
You can drop into any church Sunday and
hear some voice that IL its owner was taken
in charge by experienced teachers could be
developed To the point Of acquiring national
attention. You can drop into q school room
and invariably you can distinguish one or more
voices that rise In sweetness above the others
The pity is that these gifts are permitted TO
20 to waste. a.
The Caruso foundation will afford incen-
tive TO development of an art that America
has too long neglected. There is no reason
why America shouldn't boast the greatest mus
ical geniuses in the world. The material is
here. All it needs is encouragement and de-
velopment. poor boy or girl with talent may
gain national attention, but the struggle is too
hard for the ordinary individual, inasmuch as
he is obliged to earn his livelihood at other
activities while seeking to educate himself mu-
sica1ly 1t takes years of study and prepare
ton to train voice such as Caruso pos
sessed.

The Sheen of Youth.

Old age is dry, drab and dull.
/ When a woman no longer feels that
| irresistible impulse to powder her
nose, her arteries are beginning to
calcify. 1t is youth that shines
and complains about it A shiny
/ nose is a more reliable stigma OF
! youth than a red nose is OF total
abstinence, for every little while
one hears of an individual with a
red nose who really does drink.
In youth the sebum or skin oil is
secreted copiously and it keeps the
young skin soft and pink and
warm as a skin ought to be. Some
times nature is so bounteous with
this complexion butifier that she
overdoes the matter a little, and the
youth is troubled with oily skin,
a greasy dandruff or excessive oil
mess of the hair, or whiteheads or
blackheads or pimples.
For the shiny nose that is merely
shiny there is nothing better than
powdering with zinc stearate COM
pound by day and hopping the
nose each morning with bits of cot
ton or a soft Handkerchief mois-
tened with a weak solution OF re-
sorcin, six grains in the. ounce OF
toilet water or hay rum.
For the red nose plain talcum by
day and an application without
rubbing or mopping, of the FOLLOW
ing mixture before retiring each
night, the mixture being allowed
to dry out:
Zinc sulphate ........ 80 grains
Sulphurated potassium, 80 grains.
Rose water .........- ounces
This should be shaken up well
before each application.
When the whole skin OF the face
is excessively oily, with or without
blackheads, the following lotion
will generally give satisfaction, If
applied every night for a period OF
10 days or two weeks, and then left
off for an equal period or longer:
Sublimate sulphur, compound
tincture OF lavender, glycerine,
camphor water, bay rum or toilet
water, of each, one ounce.
When blackheads are present it
is preferable to battle first for five
