HAS MANY IMPORTED TREES
No Other Country In the World Sale
to Possess Such a Variety az
Does England.

The Portuguese boast Of their forest
at Basaco. where there are over two
hundred kinds o. imported trees In full
and gigantic growth. But there is no
other country In the whole world
where so many varieties Of imported
trees flourish as In the British isles.
and Kew has specimens Of nearly all
Of them. Not only original. or, rather,
natural varieties are to Re seen at
Kew. but others which wv their being
to the cunning of man. The latter are
graft-hybrids Of extraordinary interest.
In the year 1926 a French gardener
grated a purple-howered cytisus on a
lahurnum stock. A branch developed
which produced flowers intermediate
between the stock and the scion. You
can see a specimen Of this hybrid
among the laburnums. II bears not
only the hybrid flowers but also fiow-
ers and leaves characteristic Of both
It's parents. The Laburnum Adami Is
It's name. In another case a union be-
tween the common thorn and the
nledlar has produced a similnr strange
result. Three separate types Of
branch, flower. and fruit are to be

The SONG Of a Thrush.

Twentieth of June. and the world at
high tide; the woods full Of cradles,
and each cradle housing a lusty baby
the weak gone back to earth, the fit
that survive beginning to test wing
and claw. Streams and woodland
pools grow languid with millions mat
Ing. Each leaf has reached It's maxi
mum of lung expansion, The trees
breathe deep. The forest has settled
down seriously to the business Of full
filling Its promises. Cocoon and chrys-
alis have opened and flung forth their
giittering mysteries. Furnished bodies
and gauzy wings glance and glitter
through yellow sunshine and soft
shade. like flakes of star dust sitting
down out of the sky.
But IL the woods have many cradles,
they also have many graves There
was a new one this placid June evening
at Fallen Rock-a new one beside the
one that was almost new. There were
orchids upon them both. A nan and
a maid had together hunted the woods
for them. Only such as they could
have found so many. Only to her fav-
critics does nature show the way to her
treasures.
The stanch old Boss and hard-faced
Bull Masterson were back at their
watts and clam rakes. Biliy's grand
mother was staying at the cabin of
the three gables a few days for COM
pany.
The ~Pearlhunter came from the vii
lage in the still evening. Along the
dim, slim path through the woods he
came, against the face of the sunset.

silly talk, but yours is the worst yet.
You can't convince me that the day
will ever come when a man with the
jumping rheumatism, such as my hus-
band is afflicted with, can sit down
and cure himself by reading a book,
even if the book is endorsed by con-
gressmen and justices Of the peace
and other dignitaries without number.
"If disease ever Is banished from

thing worse will come to take its

"Early this spring there was an cpl
demic Of measles in this neighbor-
hood, and of course my little grand
daughter had to come to visit me.
She never comes when the health con-
ditions are all that could be desired,
but just as sure as there is smallpox
or seven year itch or some other con-
tagious disease rampant, that angel
child comes to spend a few days with
her beloved grandmother, and she
catches everything there is going.
"She hadn't been here two days be-
fore she was down sick. She had
more measles than / ever saw in one
collection before, and her face vas a
sight to be seen. 1 was inclined to

has that disease, some of the measles

ing Cousin Susan off before, and she
had become a nightmare to ne. But
on that occasion / had an excuse all
ready made. I sent back a telegram
saying that my granddaughter was in
the house with an aggravated attack
Of measles, and the house was quar-
antined, and a policeman with a
sawed-off shotgun was guarding the
approaches to the house. OF course
didn't use exactly those words, but
that was the meaning of my dispatch,
and Cousin Susan had to take her off
spring and unload them on her Aunt
Maria, who had never suffered a Wis
itation of that sort before.
"This shows that diseases have
their use, and ever a few measles In

Quit Rocking the Boat

Employers and employees should en-
ploy all reasonable cooperation to
keep industries going.
One of the most disturbing factors
in the present situation is the labor
agitator who advises workers to re
sist any concessions asked of them by
employers, to stand firm against any
wage reductions, and threatening that
if they refuse TO do this they will be
fired from their union bodies.
If prices and wages come down to-
gether no harm will be done to labor,
because wages must be Judged by
their relation to prices, to just how
much the dollar will buy.
1t is manifestly impossible for the
agitator to bolster up his advice with
reason, because labor cannot resist Il
wage reduction, at the same time de
manding a reduction in prices.
The best thing workers can do is to
follow the dictates of common sense
and fair play and leave the agitator
to waste his breath on empty air.
