Swallow Life
nv n. G.. PEATTIE.

] ~ ~
| SWALLOWS are among the birds
that Europe and America share
+ together. The list of these is no,
very long. I remember chicadees and

/ chicsdees are called blsck-caps over

Out West, where ravens and magpies
are commoner, there is more resem-
blance TO the bird fauna OF Europe
But the swallows in the Old World
are much as we have them here
with their forked tails. their graceful
flight and their steel blue backs.
The rufous tinse of our barn
swallows breast is rather hsndsomer
than that of the village swallow of
Western Europe, but in their familiar
social habits they are scarcely dis
tinguishable from our own. Both
species inevitably bring to mind the
dim fragrance of the hsymow. the
brilliance Of sunlight at the open
barn door, the quietude of village
roofs. the sweet Ssnctity Of country
steeples, the sense Of blue June skies,
Of nesting time, OF the arts and good
ness OF peace. They mean all that
athe olive branch meant to the
Romsn--rural felicity, breeding and
rearing and abundance.
The most swallow haunted spot

chanting old town Of Fredericksburg

leaguered by swallows that there was
no peace in 1t.
There are two islands there, close
together. The smaller, which Is fur
ther out to sea. has been the site of

tury OF Christianity. There all is
peace and a spot tor meditation upon

But Ste. Marguerite was, for CEN

can still feel the sufferings Of the
men behind those triple iron-bsrred
windows. as one loks out at the sQuare
of blue sky, where the free swallows
perpetually wheel. One can almost
hear the grOans OF despair and the
crackle Of prison whips.
Over the old flint barracks, now

whose children play on the weed

Arthriitis Cause

p HEUMATISM. or arthritis, as it is

the special or specific organism that
causes rheumatism. but the general
feeling is that more than one factor

Eucalyptus.

HINK OF growing five times as
fast as your neighbor! This
is the habit of the eucalyptus.
In Australia, where there are
many wonderful trees. euca-
lvptus grows higher than any other
trees. except the coniferS. There are
hundreds of species. The queen OF
them is known as the garri. 1t Is
not only one of the tallest, but has
beautiful polished white and gray
trunk. You can see the trees stand
ing like exquisite columns. in a great,
quiet cathedral in the forests of West
ern Australia.
In California these trees have been
planted along the highways. They
are not meant to be guardians of the
roads. They grow too fast and shed
their barks too easily and freely.
About 1878 Rev. A. H. White planted
six or eight species of eucalyptus in
Florida, at GeOrgiana, on Merits
Island. He obtained the seed from the
Government in Washington, it is said
at the. Patent Once.
Eucalyptus plantations have been
tried In California and the semi-arid
Southwestern States. The trees are
grown from seeds, which are very
light and numerous. 1t is astonlsh-
ing how fast these trees grow. given
half chance. They even sprout Wig
orously from q stump, If the trunk has
been cut down.
The best place for these trees is In
q forest cover or wind break. Here
they do excellent work for us. Where
slopes have been swept by f1re and
the water supply Is threatened, these
trees again play an important part.
1t is believed by many that those
desirable inhabitants and improve the
air as well as the landscape.
The wood value is another thing IN
their favor. Tool handles, implements
of agriculture, posts, telegraph poles,
piles for wharves and vehicles are
among some OF the uses to which the
wood is put
That is not all. The trees are rich
in gums and resin that are useful in
medicine and in the arts. There is
q valuable oil, expressed from the
leaves, that is used in the drug trade.
One ton Of leaves will yield 500 ounces
of oil.
Bees swarm above the flowers and
find bountiful supplies awaiting them.
The leaves themselves are lovely
evergreen. The bark is handsome and
the nutlike fruit very interesting.
With all this in its favor, the euca-
lyptus has come into its own. Be-
longing to the blue gum family, there
are so many species from which to

The Aggressives attempted to slow
up the bidding by Intellectual and
risky overcslls, but the Conservatives
got themselves into a bad contract
anyway. Mrs. Aggressive (WesU bid
two clubs over Souths one heart.
Daszled by the sight of so many
trumps, Mr. Conservative 1North)
sed TO pull q three-heart bid
out of the hat. This bid was ex-
tremely bad. He would have con-
yeyed all the necessary information
to South by a free raise over an op-
pOnentS Overcan.
Continuing the good work, East
bid four diamonds on his seven-
card suit. The bidding by this time
was 8 bit high, but Mrs. Conserva-
tive vslisntly bid four spades, trying
TO lay the ground work for small
sham. West passed, and now North
began TO regret his three heart bid.
Although he has miSinfOrmed his
partner once, his proper bid is five
spades. North. however, was afraid
that this bid would lead to q grand
siam contract, and he wasn't even
sure Of small slam. He tried to
sign of the bidding at five hearts.
South is thus placed in an impOs-
sible situation. She doesn't know
whether three is duplication in dia-
mondS or not, but in view OF North's
three-heart bid she must go TO six
hearts. The contract is defeated one
trick. There is no way South can
avoid losing q club and n diamond.
contract of six spades can, how
ever, be made. Most Of you have
learned. through dint of bitter ex
perience. that it is better to play q
four-four trump suit than g. FIVE
three trump suit. In both cases the
outstanding five trumps will preSum-
ably be picked up in three leads, but
in the former case you are left with
u trump In each hand, after drawing
trumps. Moreover, If you don't use
the five-three suits as trumps, you
can obtain valuable diScsrds.
In other words. where the bidding
indicates the presence of certain un-
avoid BILE losers, it Is better to select
the four -four or the five-five suit ss
trump. in preference TO the f1ve-three,
six-twO, five-fOur or even six-flve
suit. In todays hand you have the
risk of one of the opponents trump
ing a heart lead il the hand Is played
at spades, but you should be willing
to take that chance 10 make small
slam. The perfect North and South
bidding on today's hand would have
been one heart, two clubs, two hearts,
three diamonds, three spades, pass,
four spades, pass, five clubs tthe
slam try, showing either first-rouno
control of the club suit or no losing
clubs, and asking about the dia-
monds). North has only one dia-
mond, SO he can certainly accept the
slam invitation. but he should slam
the hand in spades. South has shown
flve hearts and four spades. He has
six hesrts-i.e., there is long heart
on which South can discard loser.
He should take the strain on his
partner by biding six spades at once.
South will naturally pass.
