Hiida promised TO marry
Horace when she grew up If he'd give

Christmas candy elephants In the

There was something so nice about
Hilda. She never made remarks as
some girls did. and men too, for that
matter, which were so annoying.
when she rang up on the telephone
she did not say Guess who's talking,
now, just guess" and disguise her
voice. She always considered wheth-
or a person might not very easily be
busy, and SO did not have what some
considered little joke
There we're some kinds OF people
Horace couldn't endure. There were
those who said, for example IF the
lightning is going to sttike you. it's
going TO strike you. It's absurd to
say you're afraid Of It,"
Then there were those who would
say In answer TO query about the
temperature of the ocean and It's con
ditlon for swimming:
THE water? WHY the waters wet"
And then-expected him to iuugh.
There were those who would say
How come" and expected to be put
in a bright class, as though they'd said
something startlingly original.
Then there were those who sent pic

Pig often Associated With the Devil.

Among the ancient '.geasa,' OF
taboos, in Scotland none was the great
err interest than the 'geas" which pro
hibited the eating of pork.
Thousands of living Highlanders re
fused either TO keep pig or to eat pork
in any form. They despised work al
keenly as did the Hindus, the Jews and
the modern Greeks of Northern
Arcadia.
The pig was often associated with
the devil. Fishermen refused to put ia
sea II when walking toward their
boats they met pig or hare.
One Of the names which the Gaelic
speaking people Of Scotland had for,
the devil was the big "black pig. =
When the devil appeared in human
form he had usually horses hoof but
also sometimes a pigs foot. He was in
the habit Of visiting young people who
played cards, which were, VIGOROUSLY,
the devils books"
Although te pig was genesally asso-
ciated with the devil, there was High
land evidence that il might as super
natural being be like the fairies, of
assistance to mankind. II could as
sumo a bird form. The devil-pig and
the god pig were met with on the
sculptured stones of Scotland Edin-
burgh Scotsman.

Timely Knockout Leads to Tanning

Not long ago | had an adventurous
journey home with an orang-outang
My wild man from Borneo was yer,
savage and beat against the iron barr
of his cage. But my contract called fol-
a tame orang -outang, and | decided Il

must get a collar on this orang. but the
first big job il TO get him out Of his
cage. You win have to take hold OF
one arm and I'll grab the other. If
should let 90 my side, he can take your
arm right off with his jaw, have every
intention Of holding fast to my side.
How about youf"
Jim assured me that he would live
up to his side of the contract. Ny
orang was 3h feet high, with a big
chest and an arm-stretch Of six feet.
But he was only half grown and two
men of ordinary strength could easily
handle him il they kept cool.

reached in, took the orang by the wrist
and pulled him out. Then l shouted TO
Jim, Catch hold" And between US
we stretched out his arms, taking a
firm hold OF his wrists Cecilio was
standing behind me with the collar
and chain. The orang kept pulling and
twisting to get out OF our grip. and he
snapped his jaws and beat his head
around, so that il was very difficult for
Cecilio to slip the collar over him.
Out Of the corner Of my eve | saw
Jim 90 white. In spite Of his promise
he became confused and lost his head.
Suddenly the arm he had been holding
was loose and the animal lunged to-
ward my side. For a moment I held
on; then had TO let 60 the other arm.
As did, the orang rushed toward me.
| took a long step back. but he came
right after me, his mouth wide open
and his arms stretched out. took an
other step OF two backward, standing
in the position OF a boxer
He raised his head a triie, and gave
me an opening, just a. he reached out
one arm TO get hold Of me. At that mo-
ment, / hauled of with good swing

COCO4NUT PALM
Is FRIEND OF NAN
Next Of Species in Importance Is
Date Palm.

The palm tree is one OF natures
gifts to man. One may sing the
praises Of the pine and oak, the cedar
and cypress, but the palm is worth at
least a pleasant word. There are hun
dreds of species of palm, but that while
stands out as serving man in most
ways Is the cocoanut or cocoanut palm
And after the cocoanut in Importance
and utility comes the date tree or the
date palm.
The palm tree Of Scripture Il under
stood to have been the date palm For
all the centuries that man has lived on
earth the date palm has furnished
food and shelter. It's timber and its
foliage have their uses even now.
Sugar sugars made from its
sap just as maple sugar is made of the
maple tree.
It's sap has been fermented into wine
for scores OF countries, and that sap
for many ages has been distilled into a
brandy that is as fiery and oyerwhelm-
ing as apple brandy, peach brandy and
grape brandy.
Dates. fresh and dried, have been
used as food for uncountable centuries.
and dried dates are an important
article of commerce between countries.
The date trees grows pretty much
throughout northern Africa and west
ern Asia, and the dates which seem
to have the highest rating for size.
meatiness, sweetness and flavor grow
in the countries around the Persian
gulf. Botanists believe that the date
palm, which was so priced by our re-.
mote ancestors, was developed from the
wild date palm of India, and that that
development took place before the be
ginning of recorded history. Wash

1t is generally known that bananas
are shipped while yet green and unripe
but few persons are aware Of the care
quired in setting out the plants and
cutting off the fruit in order to insure
the arrival Of the bananas in proper

The observations of the CONSERVATION
Of forests for southern Nigeria, held to
be an eminent authority in the matter,
indicate that the mahogany tree grows
much more rapidly than the number OF
so-called annual rings suggests. He
thinks that they show three or four
well marked zones Of growth each year,
corresponding to the four seasons. Both
forest trees and those grown in the
botanical garden exhibit the same
phenomenon. On the site of the town
