An expert nurseryman says the hardiness or
of trees depends
largely upon where the seeds from
which the trees in question sprang came
from. Satisfactory results are seldom
experienced by planting a seed obtained
from the sunny south, say. By planting
seeds gradually further north, however,
trees may be at length hardened and acclimated until a seed from such a tree
may be reasonably expected to thrive
and mature Us fruits.
Trees, like people, says the Philadelphia Record, acquire their habits from
the climate in which they live.
The
northern tree knows instinctively when
the time has come to ripen its fruits.
The southern tree follows the same instinct, being in no hurry, as there is little likelihood of real cold. With

In the case of a chronometer the adjuster keeps a careful record of ita
variation, and this record goes with
the cIock when it is returned to the
ship. The importance to a captain ol
knowing whether his chronometer is
running fast or slow cannot be overestimated, for, although it may vary
only five seconds a month, each second makes a difference of fo;;r miles
in a ship's course, and a mistake oi
.such a short distance, if not corrected
might result in a wreck and the loss
of many lives. Knowing the exact

Travelers In the Connecticut valley-masometime see many acres covered
with white cheesecloth supported, at
a height of nine feet from the ground,
on a framework of posts and wires.
Under these vast tents Sumatra tobacco is grown. Experiment conducted by the department of agriculture
led to the use of this system of protecting the tobacco plants, ar.d the results
have been found excellent. The light,
sandy soil along the Connecticut river
is well suited for the growth of Sumatra tobacco. The t'nited States government furnishes the seed and supervises, the cultivation, preparation and
sale of the product, the farmers paying
the cost and receiving the profit. That
the great cloth canopies can withstand

vhom the question is put, Hays the Cincinnati Enquirer, will immediately answer: '"Carry a revolver." Bat women dread revolvers almost ac mm h as
they do the possibility of a'lrck when

nerve necessary to use a pi?tol with effect when set upon by a burly Strang r

One of the unmarried women in diplomatic circles at Washington is
Countess Marguerite Cassini, the accomplished niece of the Russian ambassador, who is a countess in her
own right, not by heredity, but by special grace of the czar, and a curious
story is told of the manner in which
she won her title. It was when Count
Cassini had his fat cful conference with
Li liung Chang at Peking, long before
the Jioxtr trouble. The count's interpreter wns away, for Li's call was unexpected, and as the Chinese stateshis life in 1:1 open b'it. A

"Beans are the soldiers' mainstay,"
says Thomas P. Dillon, a retired United States cavalry officer, according1 to
the Philadelphia Kecord. "The American soldier, at a pinch, can equal the
performance of an Arab on a handful
of dried date he can ride and fight
all day on a mere handful of beans,
properly prepared. There is nothing
equal the army baked bean. Your
celebrated 'Boston buked' are but a
poor imitation of the succulent articl
turned out by a regular army cook.
There' an art in cooking them that nobody but an army man can ever acquire. I've been on service when for
a week at a time our menu consisted of
beans for breakfast, beams for dinner
and beans for supper; and did the
troopers tire of the monotony?
Not a bit of it. They sang for more,
and in spite of hard work and lack of
variety at mess t,'ie fellows actually
got fat. That demonstated to me the
nutritive quality of beans, and I made
it a point to get into the good graces
of the cook and learn how to bake
them. It isn't such an elaborate proc- ess. but there's a trick in doing it
right. My friends are all fond of beans
the way cook them, and many a time
I've been asked for the recipe, but
that's a thing I don't give away to
everyone. You see, people enjoy a
dish all the better when they know it's
something that not everybody can get
up. It might take some of the rest
away if they could say of my beans:
'I know how to make them.' "
