Eucalyptus Logs

Eucalyptus logs have never had a
market here. excepting as fuel. For
fuel they have to be cut, split and
piled to season or else they do not
burn well. Dry eucalyptus is fine in
an open CRATE. The great difficulty is
that most people in the towns now
cook with gas and heat with gas. The
Well-to-do who have open CRATES buy
eucalyptus wood, but the market is not
very active
The logs have never yet been used
as telephone poles. think large
reason for this is the fact that a dry
eucalyptus is very hard and the line
men would experience difficulty In
using climbing spurs.

a bridge pier builder when he thought
he could cheat a little, proved to be
far more enduring than the ordinary
pilings. | have wondered many times
why eucalyptus pilings were not used
extensively, but it is hard to teach
most folks.-Mr. Hartman, in Adven-

the quaint English Petronella, femi-
nine name given In honor of Saint
Peter.
The first PetronelIa was said to
have been his daughter. For that rea-
son the name was exceedingly popu-
lar in Spain as Petronilla. In Nor
way it made its appearance as Pet
ronille and was shortened to Mile. a
name which corresponds very closely
to our Nellie.
The bloodstone is Nellie's talismanic
gem. 1t will preserve her health and
protect her from diseases, especially
from those which affect the blood.
Tuesday is her lucky day and l her

NELLIE

7\HERE is considerable room for
= doubt in assuming that Nellie is
1erivative or a contraction of stately
eleanor. Though some etymologists
claim that the former name is evolved
in the lengthy process between the
original Helen and thee final Lima,
there are two other sources from
which Nellie might swell be sprung
without such formidable history of
derivation.
The Dutch have name which they
call nellie, meaning horn" which is
pronounced the same as our Nellie
and might easily be the direct pro-
genitor of this popular little name
For those who reject this derivation,
there is the German nellie which has
wide vogue in all countries under Teu-
tonic influence. 1t was evolved through

That strenuous play in tennis tour
naments is fatal to feminine beauty, is
a warning usually given to cookbook
ing girls who aspire to tennis honors
But Miss Eileen Bennett, who won the
women's singles at the new Cromer
club, London, England, shrugs her
shoulders at the gloomy predictions of
her friends and advisers. She is the
prettiest of the first-class players in
England and only eighteen. She has
shingled hair and the face and figure

again. Gloria thought over what
Lola had said about DR.. John.
Dick was the quiet kind OF
man, too! The kind Of man who
bottled up everything within him

brooded about her. as DR.. John
must have brooded over May for long
months. The thought almost took
her breath away.
She would go to Dick now and beg
him to let bygones be bygones! She
would make him love her again, as
he had loved her in the early days
of their life together. the days
when he trembled if he touched her.
He had been under her spell once.
He would be under it again.

asked, turning to Miss Briggs.
