Beauty and Utility
Found in HotUthorn

Hawthorn Is the flower for May and
is often called may" from the season
OF Its Towering. II Is shrub or small
tree and Is n native of Siberia, Europe,
northern Africa and has been intro
duced into the United States. The
flowers are followed by small red
fruit with yellow pulp, which remains
on the tree after the leaves have fallen
and affords winter fruit for the birds.
In England Is found the Glaston-
bury thorn which Is supposed to have
originated at Glastonbury abbey. The
Glastonbury thorn often blooms In
winter, and 1t is not unusual for
second Towering to take place the
same year.
The common hawthorn, or may" as
II Is called, Is known as the white
thorn to distinguish II from the sloe
or black thorn. II has many uses. A
fermented liquor Is made from the
fruit and sold In certain parts Of
France. II Is used also as a stock on
which to graft apples and other pome
fruit.
Great Britain uses the Hawthorn as
hedge because Of Its quick growth
while young, It's long life and Its
adaptability to II variety Of SOILS

Gifts Imagined to
Amend for URliness

An English writer tells how being
in theater with foreigner he asked
him the inevitable question as to what
he thought Of London. II never saw
so many ugly people in my life" was
the startling reply. On looking about
him the writer felt that the reply of
the foreigner was not far astray.
From this he inquiries as to why II
Is that In a country blessed with pref
ty children there should grow up such
unattractive adults, and he concludes
that civilization is doing something to
the race-somethlng undesirable, un.
less We are to assume that ugly peo-
pie are bralnler than handsome ones.
This every handsome man and wo-
man among us will hasten to deny.
The fact Is, no doubt, that when q
person Is ugly something has to be
said to commend him to our acquaint-
ances, so they are hastily assured
that this person they are about to
meet, while he does not look well, Is
really quite an unusual person and
highly gifted. One statement like
that about man may keep him going
for years, for others repeat 1t. All
he needs do is refrain from showing
that he is without gifts Of any sort.

Declares Music Cure

nounced the results of some expert

Of music and medicine.

music of a vlolOncello. on the other
hand, has precisely opposite effect,
in temporarily lessenlng the usual
strength and vitality Of the hearer.
In nervous and impresslonable peo-
pie, sad music In a minor key, such
as Chopln's Funeral March," actually
weakens the pulse and makes the beat

An American doctor stated not long
ago that almost every mental trouble
could be cured by suitable selections
OF classical music regularly admins

hOmicidal mania, nervous breakdown,
all had their corresponding air.

Reuhen's knife was called to their aid.
In his trembling hand 1t released the
bow, but made tiny cut in the mus

We're destined to fall In years to come.
The stage was by this time well In
sight, and In desperation Reuben
clasped Rachel for once In his arms,
and their lips met. AS he turned away
she caught his coat, and with
fearless look into his eyes, said:
"Good-by, Reuben, and God bless
you" The stage driver gave an i'm
patient shout and with parting clasp
of her hand, Reuben sprang over the
wall, and was soon carried out Of
Rachel's sight.
II was never known exactly how It
happened, but the stage horses were
new to the road, and the driver had
fortified himself with an unusual sup
ply of New England rum. At the
worst place going down Temple noun
tain the stage was overturned. Reuben,
in his efforts to save the woman who
was his sole travelling companion, re-
ceived a mortal hurt, and died before
help arrived.
At Reuben's funeral, as a tacit &C.
acknowledgement Of their close relations,
Rachel was given n place of promi-
nence among the mourners, n tribute
which acted as gentle balm upon
her wounded heart on that occasion.

Rachel Upton made no cutlery and
