The Tree of Heaven.
BY d. c. PEATTIE.

Have YOU noticed a strange tree,
looking like giant sumac, in bloom
all over the District of Columbia this
week? 1t is the tree of heaven, and
more curious. pic-looking exotic
does not grow in our midst.
Brought from China to Europe hun
dreds of years ago. it was trans
planted by the early colonists to our
shores. And. though it Is now so
thoroughly naturalized. it has never.
in way. been assimilated into our
100 per cent American plant life To
the end of time 1t will look like an
alien-a beautiful and splendid alien.
1t is appropriate that its blooming
time should usher in the opulent
Summer. The heavy odor of it's
blossoms bespeaks the tropics in.

Rambling the woods of Analostan
Island. one may come upon the ruins
of a once famous mansion, which
stood upon the southern shore
Native trees have grown up through
the cellar hole and common weeds
obliterated the bright garden. But
five tall old trees of heaven, planted
no doubt by the hand of that early
coloniSt who built the house. still

the world that here, still. there
breathes some spirit of the Old World

The tree of heaven has a noble

with an umbrella top. but the
branches droop and then gracefully
curl up at the tips. after the manner
of the European horsechestnut. The
wood has little value. but the bark Is
used incidentally
There is but one drawback to the
tree of heaven. The male trees (and
in this species the sexes are on
separate plants have heavy aroma,
which. to many persons. is unendur-
able. Only female trees should be
planted. These, with their winged,
maplelike fruits, are exceedingly
ornamental.
The tree of heaven will grow under
the most adverse conditions and
stands the smoke of cities and the
arid conditions of habitation be-
tween sidewalk and curb without ap-
pearing TO suffer.

BEDTIME STORIES BY y. 1MSsHrsN sSSe1ss

got he pushed one Of them out OF the
nest. 1t wasn't big enough to fly and
it fell in the grass below. Then he
pushed another out. and it, too, fell in
the grass. Chippy. coming back with
a worm. found the two babies down in
the grass. They were unhurt, but. of
course. they were quite helpless down
there. He promptly fed them. This
left two baby sparrows and the ugly
orphan in the nest for Mrs. Chippy to
feed. But the ugly orphan wasn't sat
isfied. While no one was looking he
kicked another little Chippy out, and
finally the fourth one Then he had
the nest to himself.
Now" thought the ugly orphan
II will get all the food I will have to
share it with no one"
But the ugly orphan didn't get all
the food. In fact, he didn't get as
much as he did before. which I think
you will agree served him right. You
see, now Chippy and Mrs. Chippy
could feed their babies without having
the food snatched away, and though
Mrs. Chippy, out of the goodness of
her heart, brought the ugly orphan
his share, he now had no chance to
snatch that which was meant for
others. The only thing he could do
was to make dreadful fuss and con-
tinually cry for food. In this he did
get little more than; his rightful
share. but not nearly as much as he
wanted.
1t was just good fortune that had
kept the four babies from being hurt
when they were thrown out of their
nest. The grass had protected them.
And it was just good fortune that
Black Pussy the Cat did not come
along that way, but that instead
Farmer Browns Boy himself hap
pened along. He saw Mrs. Chippy fly
down into the grass with worm, and
he heard the hungry cries Of the
babies when they saw that worm, so
he went to see what it meant. OF
course he found the four babies unable
to fly.
They must have fallen out of the
nest" said Farmer Browns Boy, look
ing up. 1T is such a little nest that
they must have been too crowded in
it. 1t would be of no use to put them
back there, for they would only fall
out again.
So Farmer Browns Boy went up to
the house and got berry basket. In
it he made a nest of soft hay. Then
he went back to the Old Orchard and
put the four baby sparrows in the
nest he had made. After that he fas-
tened it up in a tree, where Chippy
and Mrs. Chippy at once began to
feed the babies.

The Baby.

Summer Is usually hard on the
baby Mothers dread the hot weather
Much of the trouble is unnecessary If
people who have to care for babies
will stop to think a moment.
II the day is very warm the baby
does not need as much clothing as
he does when it is cool. That sounds
simple but you will find babies per
spring and crying all because they
are bundled in clothing that is far
too warm for the day. Then adjust
the clothing to the temperature.
Babies often cry on a hot day
because they are thirsting for a
drink of cool water. People associate
milk with babies and are likely to
forget that they need cool water on
warm day exactly as grown folk
do. 1t must not be iced; it must
be cool and fresh. The best way to
do is to boil it, cork it tightly in a
steriliZed bottle and place it in the
ice box where it will stay cool with
out being cold. When the baby frets
some hot afternoon try feeding him
spoonful of cool water.
Beds are so hot in Summer. Grown
folk often leave them and lie on the
floor. The baby cannot do that; he
cannot even say the bed is too hot

Tomorrow's planetary aspects are

they become decidedly adverse. The
task you began today, If not COM
pleted, can be pushed to the utter
most during the morning, after which
1t is advisable to take stock of your
efforts, and to devote your active at
tention to the ordinary duties of
the day. No correspondence of an
important nature should be attended
to in the afternoon, nor should any
decisions of a far-reaching character
be made. In the evening, especially
in the home circle, il will be found
very difficult to exercise self-control
In order to dominate a tendency to
become ill-tempered and mentally
out of sorts.
A child born tomorrow will. in
physical sense. involve many complA
cations. and the strictest regard for
regular nutrition and an abundance
of outdoor air will be needed to en-
able it to attain physical normalcy.
This child will have a rather peevish
disposition, and will. in all probabil
ity, carry through the greater part
of it's life a proneness to find fault
and an acute sense of self -dissatis
faction. This chronic condition can
be ameliorated, if not cured, by
forced association with others Of a
similar age. 1t will have a keen mind
and caustic wit. which will some
times hurt more than physical cruelty.
Your character. if tomorrow is your
birthday, is very temperamental, and
you are easily swayed by all external
influences. You are very "touchy"
and an idle word or a careless look.

the Wanderlust in your veins. You
are never contented or satisfied with
the drab humdrum of the average
life, and are always seeking some un-
known outlet for your ambition and
hopes. You are very careful, how
ever, of appearances. and a great
stickler for social conventionalities
You are, within certain limits, eager
for success, and if you could only be
a trifle more practical in your go

features in one costume and you at
