Instituted. I have planted many trees and every summer they repay me with an ab undant gratitude. There Is not a leaf of them but what whispers gratitude. I often think of tho Scottish farmer's words, quoted by Scott: "Baye stick In a tree Jock, 'twill be growin' as were'e sleepin'." In my childhood, I put a nut into the earth, frow which sprang a horse chestnut tree, which now has a girth of eight feet, and sustalus a vast dome of foliage, the haunt of birds and bees and the very thoughts as cheery as they. In plant ing a tree, we lay the foundation of a structure of which the seasons (without care of ours) shall be the builders and which shall be a joy to others when we are gone. "I need not say how great a pleas ure It Is to me (hat my young friends should decorate my memory with a tree of their planting. I wish I could he with them to throw the first shovelful of earth upon Its roots." SPRAY HOSE How is it; in good condition for the season?

RECALL FATE OF FRANKLIN Interesting Relict Rtcently Brought to Vancouver From the Land . Where He Perished. After being In the possession of the thrifty natives of King William's land for three-quarters of a century, a large number of Interesting relics of the Ill-fated Sir John Franklin polar expedition have been brought from the frosen north by Joe Benard, who Is here after a four years' stay along the northernmost coast of the North American continent, say. a Vancouver (B. C.) dispatch. Though priceless from a collector's point of view, the utilitarian value of the relics Is negligible, and they were obtained by Benard for a piece of lumber worth possibly 20 cents on the coast. A few bras, buttons among the relics are believed to have belonged to the distinguished leader, though there I. as yet no positive proof of tills. Benard also obtained a number of primitive scientific Instruments used by the northern tribes. These will be sold to various museums and univer sities for which the explorer has been collecting ethnological specimens and data since 1910. lie also brought a collection of furs worth approximate ly $25,000. Sir John Franklin, with 1M com panions, sailed Into the Arctic In 1845 to And the northwest passage, and was never heard of again. After many relief expeditions had failed, his fate was ascertained In 1859, when bleached skeletons were found on the trail to Hudson bay. GET DRINK FROM FLOWERS Natives of India Distill Valuable Spirit From Mowra Trss Beads Also Yield Oil. The flowers of the ."mowra" tree, native to India, are highly valued for food. They are rich In sugar, anil an Intoxicating drink Is distilled from them. A syrup prepared from them Is boiled down, yielding a sugar equal In quality to date sugar. In the central provinces of India mowra flowers are regularly nsed as an article of food by at least 1,000,000 people, each person con.umlug about eighty pounds per annum. Through out that country they are looked upon as a valuable reserve In famine years. Their fleshy, Juicy, globe-shaped corol las are collected when they have fall en, and are spread out to dry on mats In the sun. A single tree will yield 200 to 300 pounds of flowers In a year. They are eaten either fresh or dried, and cooked In many different ways, with rice, shredded coconut or flour. The bolk of the crop of flowers, however. Is used for the preparation of "darn," or mowra spirit They are fermented, sometimes with molasses added, and the liquor Is then distilled In crude apparatus. With good dl tilling' apparatus. 100 pounds of the flowers will yield Ave and one-nair gal lons of proof spirit It I. estimated that In tho Hydera bad state alone there are enough mowra tree, to produce 700.000 gal lot., of proof spirit per annum.

What I. the best workday In Amefa lea? In England It la Thursday. That la the finding of Industrial re search board investigators of that country. The London Cliroulcle reports that over a period of twenty weeks the output wa. registered and "graph." were made. The workers gave their best on Wednesday, and Thursdays, but the output on Saturday was Invariably low. When doubled (to equalise time) It I. often less than TS per ceut of that on other days. Another Important conclusion was that the skilled workman Is much more regular In his output than the worker not so well qualified. lie does not get the "tired Saturday feeling" so soon. In some factories the output arises nntll Friday, but among the less skilled workmen It was found that Thurs day was the best working day. - An Important consideration which the Investigators kept In mind wa. that of the atmospheric condition In which work Is done. Records of the air conditions hare been taken with the output records. I In various plants the Saturday out put wa. so low that employers found It unprofitable to operate, so they closed down. From this It would ap peur that on a half day the worker does not give the average of a half duy of production. Richard 8plllane In the Philadelphia Public Ledger. BOMBAY A CITY OF BEGGARS Government la Planning Severe Meas ures to Repress Nuisance That I Becoming Intolerable. Some time ago the government of Bombay appointed a committee to con sider and formulate proiiosals for the purM.se of suggesting practical meas ures whereby the ever-growing nuis ance of professional begpary might be abolished, lite committee has now completed Its Investigation and has Issued a report. The report shows that there are In Bombay city alone (MX professional beggars, and the beggars In other part, bring the total for the presi dency to over 00,000. The general conclusions of the committee are that these must be Introduced at the earli est opportunity an act for the preven tion of professional beggary, which will he applicable to the whole of the presidency. Sadhus and fakirs. It ts suggested, should be exempt from the oieratlons of the act which It Is proosed should make begging a cognizable offense. Those who have visited India will doubtless recall with feelings of horror the terrible sights they have witnessed nf beggars, many of them physical wrecks and suffering from loathsome diseases, seated about the roads so liciting alms from paBsershy. From the Times of India. War Map. for Envelopes. From the Red Cross Bulletin of the Baltic states, published at. Riga: "The shortage of paper has resulted In many novel makeshifts. One of these is the use of Uermaii and Rus sian official war maps as material for envelopes.
