ELOQUENT TRIBUTE TO TREES Writer Beautifully Expresses. What Every Lover of Nature Must Have at Some Time Felt. | Trees are the ‘arms of. Mother Earth lifted up in worship of her makers; where they are, béauty dwells. Trees are the shelter of man, beast and bird; they furnish : the. roof above us, the shade about us, and the nesting places of love and song, They call children-out to play; they entice sweethearts into leafy coverts to seal thelr vows with fond caresses; they console and gratefully reward 'old uge. They are the: ‘fittest ornaments of wealth and the inalienable possession of the poor, who can enjoy them with- out having title to them. " They are the masts that fly the flags of all na- tions and the sails of all seas; they are the timbers that bridge forbidding streams; they bear the. wires of the werld's intelligence; they hold the ralls that carry the trafii¢ of the con~ tinents; they art the carved and pol- ished furnishings of the home; they cradle the young and coffin the deid, Trees herald the spring: with glorious hanners of leaf and bloom; tl:ey clothe the autumn in garments of gold and royal purple; bared to the wintar's cold, they are the harp of the winds, and they. whisper the music of the in- finite spaces.—Clarence Ousley. - WITH THE BUDDING AVIATOR ‘Beginner’s Trihulatlvm; That End With That Truly “Grand and Glorious Feeling.” Didya ‘ever get up in a ship” and stick and try to give her enough right that time the nose is either up or tails'she is drifting off sidewsys, sonewhere—didya?

The late ' Henry Watterson was a long-time friend of Muark Twain, as of nearly every other prominent -Ameri- can literary worker- of his day, and related many anecdotes that resulted from this friendship. Mark Twain's mind turned ever to the droll, “Qnce in-London I was living with my’ family at 103 Mount street. Be- tween 103 -and 102 there was - the * parochial ‘workhouse, quite a long and ‘ imposing edifice,” Mr.” Watterson -re- i lates‘In his antobiography: -“One eve- i ning, upon coming in from an outing, I_found a letter he had written on the sitting -room table. He had left it with his card. He spoke of the shock he had ‘received upon finding that next to 102—presumably 103— was the workhouse. He had loved me, but had always feared I would end by disgracing the family—being ‘hanged or something—but ‘the ‘work’us,’ that was beyond him; he Lad not-thought it would come to that.

A fair example ‘of cunning was af- forded: by a weasel at a sawmill in Bruce county,. Ontarlo. The animal took on the.job of killing a number of rats. After exterminating the .lot excepting one large fellow, the weasel dug a hole under the corner of a lum- ber plle and then tackled his heavier antagonist, which chased him into the- hole.. When the spectators: thought the weasel was “done for” he came out the other end and went in after the rat. It was not long before the ingenious weasel came out with the dead rat. On fnvestigation it-wes found that the weasel had made the hole small ‘at one end so that the:ro- dent could pot get through, and it was then attacked from the rear. . ASH IS -NOT GENUINE TES Merely Shows That Cigar Is Well Made, Not That Its Quality-is -of the Highest. Can the quality of a cigar be told by the ash? To'a certain- extent it can. Many smokers take a great de: light in seeing how long the ash will stay on. It is often possible to smoke a big Havana cigar half or three-quar- ters way through with the ash in- tact. But what most cigar smokers fail i to realize is that this IS the test of a well-manufactured: cigar and not nec- essarily ‘of the tobaccoin ‘it.

The glowing point should be sharp. The sharper the point the better the cigar. 1 As regards the ash, it 1s a common fallacy that white ash is a sign of a fine, and dark ash the sign of.an in-' ferior, leaf. . The real truth is that the color depends upon the strength-of the -tobacco.- ‘A very mild and cheap cigar will . give a pure white ash. The: finest Havana of ripe strength produces a ~blackish ash.
