HOW RUsHinrv PAINTED PINE
English Writer Quick to Perceive the Rugged Beauty of the Northern
 Forest Monarch.

The impressions on most peoples minds must have been received more from pictures than reality, so far as I can jNlge; so ragged they think the pine; whereas it's chief character Is green and full roundness. It stands compact, like one of its own cones, slightly curved on its sides, finished and quaint as a carved tree in some Elizabethan garden; and instead of being wild in expression, forms the softest of all forest scenery; for oth- CT trees show their trunks and twist ing boughs; but the pine, growing ei- ther in luxuriant mass or in happy isolation, allows no branch to be seen. Summit behind summit rise it's pyra- midal ranges, or down to the very grass sweep the circlets of its boughs i; so that there Is nothing but green cone and green carpet Nor is 1t only softer, but in one sense more cheerful than other foliage; for 1t casts only a pyramidal shadow. Lowland forest arches overhead, and cheques the ground with darkness; but the pine, growing in scattered groups, leaves the glades between emerald bright.

UNIVERSAL FOOD IN TROPICS
Many Varieties of the Bread Fruit Tree Are Scattered Throughout
 Southern Landa

It Is of interest to note the flour and biscuit of the tropics. There are dozen different bread fruit trees scat tered throughout tropical regions. One of the Hours, made from the bread fruit tree of tropical America known as the yuka, Is a regular article of commerce in the New York market. It is only sold in cartons at elite groceries, is quite pure article, of a dingy, grayish-white color, and 8 slightly alkaline and hardly agreeable taste. In cooking that alkalinity and acridity are mostly driven out. In its fresh form 1t is in shape elongated like a giant plantain, and for drying and conversion into flour is cut down before ripening so that 1t has, like a green banana, not a semblance of sweetness. But the same fruit, al, lowed to ripen fully, then sun dried. becomes almost as sweet as a Smyrna fig. This tree-grown cake bread is eaten dried thus, and along with the tree-growing flour forms the chief food for millions In the tropics.-New York Herald .,.t

COMPLETE SALE OF c. P. STOCK
War Department and Governors Rep.
 resentatiyes Close Contract.

Washington, D. C., May 19.-Con- tract for the sale of approximately s: 5O0,OOO worth of surplus supplies at Camp Pike was closed and signed today. Title to the property passed f, om the War Department to Albert ' tCOhn, trustee representing tEa honorary commission appointed by Governor McRae. Major Eckington, director of sales, executed the con- tract for the War Department. The consideration agreed upon, after mak- ing deductions for withdrawals, ac- cording to MT. Cohn, was $2S9,OOO. Payments will be made to the govern ment as the supplies are sold, com plete payment to be made within six months.
 Under the plan all profits made by the honorary commission are to be expended in the improvement and preservation of Camp Pike for the benefit of the National Guard. MT Cohn and E. J. Bodman, vice presi- dent of the Union and Mercantile Trust Company, who was called here 70 advise the former in completing the deal, left for Arkansas today.
 Signing of the contract was the consumation of the work begun 10 days ago, when Governor McRae, Lloyd England, ". s. Mitchell and MT. Cohn came to Washington and induced Secretary of War Weeks to withdraw the surplus property from public sale, date for which already had been set Senators Robinson and Caraway, Representative Jacoway and practically every member of the Arkansas congressional delegation as- sisted the governor and his commits sion in securing from the War De- partment a revocation of previous sale.
 MT. Cohn has been in Washington since that time closing up the deal,

Odd-Mannered Flower.

Perhaps the witch-hazei thinks it's simple little yellow blossoms would not compare favorably with the gor- geousness of fall chrysanthemums- perhaps it wants to be original-at all events, not until "mums" and other varieties of autumn flowers are gone, and even the leaves of the witch-hazel itself have fallen, do the witch-hazel flowers appear.
 Very late in October, or more likely in November, you will find the cheer ful little yellow blossoms growing right beside the last years seed pods. These little urn-shaped seed pods split when frost comes, and the four seeds con- tained in each pod hop out onto the ground, where they will take root and grow in the spring.-Christian Science Monitor.

PRESBYTERIANS FAVOR UNION
Northern Church Prefers Orgahl'
 Merger to SCuthern Proposal.

Des Moines. Ia., May 22.-Organlc union, instead of further enorts to bring closer relations between North ern and Southern Presbyterians through new types of federation, IS desired by the Northern branch or the church, the 134th General Assem- bly, of the Presbyterian church or the United States informed the Southern Presbyterians in a resolution adopted today.
 The resolutions rejected proposals received Saturday from the South- ern Presbyterian assembly at Charles ton, W. Va.
 The text of the resolution follows:
 "The General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America acknowledges the communication from the General As sembly of the Presbyterian church or tha United States regarding the adop- tion of the constitution for united assembly of Presbyterians and Re formed churches to be operative ana effective when approved by the assem- blv of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America and at least one other church in the country, hold- ing the Presbyterian and Reformed faith
 "We reaffirm Dur willingness to take any steps in the direction or the actual union of the Presbyterian ana Reformed churches. In our judgment however, the proposed constltutloN assures no closer union than already is made possible by the constitution of the General Council of Reformed Churches already adopted by the ma iority of the Presbyterian ana he- formed churches and now in opera tion.
 ''We therefore believe that TOT the present We should endeavor to pro mote that cooperation already made possib.c through the Council or he- formed Churches and it's amended articles of agreement until such tune as the Presbyterian church or the United States is willing to proceed further and adopt measures whlca will secure organic union"
 An overwhelming vote was register ed by the commissioners against the Southern proposal

MIRRORS FROM PLATE CLASS
Process Is a Somewhat Complicated One and Calls for a High
 Degree of Skill.

Mirrors are made from plate glass. The proper ingredients are mixed together and melted in large pots. Tho molten mass is then poured out on great iron tables and heavy roller fattens out the glass to the desired thickness. The sheets are then an- healed, which consists of heating them slowly in various chambers kept att different temperatures. This Is fOrl the purpose of relieving unnaturalI strain in the formed glass, which makes 1t extremely brittle, so that al mere touch is sometimes sufficient to cause the plate to break. After the glass has been cut to the proper size the sheets are polished by rubbing over the surface pads or small disks until the finished product Is about half the thickness of the original. The glass is then ready to be used for slow windows, or can be made into mirrors.
 The back of the sheet of plate glass is "silvered" In the early processes this did not mean what the word indi- cates, for no silver was used, but q mixture of tin and mercury. The high cost of mercury and the danger of mercurial poisoning brought about It's replacement by silver, which is used in the form of lunar caustic. Whila silver is an expensive metal, the amount required to coat even a large mirror Is so small that the cost Is O. no moment

Mistletoe Brains.

One of the most curious illustrations of the working of intelligence in plants is offered by the mistletoe, whose sticky berry, finding lodgment on a tree branch, throws out a tiny rootlet, which tries to pierce the bark and thus obtain a roothold. If the bark is too tough, the rOotlet swings the berry over to a fresh spot, and makes an- other trial. In this way such berry has been known to make five jumps in two nights and three days. On one occasion a number of them were dis covered by a botanist in the act of vainly journeying along telegraph wire, trying to find place to grow Milwaukee Sentinel.

RAIN-MAkERS.

The fates seem to be with some folk.
Rain-Maker Hatfield, who created no lit
tie sensation in this country and Canada
over his seeming ability to make Jupiter
become Pluvius, was invited by the gov
eminent of Italy to pay that count, a
visit.
Shortly after his arrival, the Cam
plgna and other parts of drouth-parched
Italy were visited by grateful life-givng
rain in abundance. The rain-maker clings
to his secret. 1t is his fortune, and well
he may. With their customary energy,
the Italians have hailed, feted and pro-
claimed him.
Yet his trade is not so new nor so un-
common as we might at first think. In
Burma, at the end of the dry season, the
rain-making ceremony is one of the most
impressive in all the religious ritual of
the country
The images of the gods are exposed to
the hottest sun. Three priests, waving
cloud-colored banners, stand with stream

TODAY'S BEST TMOUGHT

We the heirs Of the ages and yet we have had
to pay few of the penalties which in old countries
are exacted by the dead hand Of bygone civiliza-
ton. We have not been obliged to fight for our
existence against any alien race and yet our life
has called for the vigor and effort without which
the maner and harder virtues wither away Under
such conditions it would be own fault il we
failed; and the success which have had in the
past, the success which confidently believe the
future will bring, should cause in us feeling OF
vain-gory, but rather deep and abiding realiza-
ton of all which life has offered us; full acknowl
edgment Of the responsibility which is ours; and
fixed determination to show that under free gov.
eminent mighty people thrive best, alike as
regards the things Of the body and the things Of
the soul THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
