Jj. van THE skillful woodsman needs no compass, for lie can get his bearings on the cloud iest dny or the darkest night by "the feel o tho bark" on trees or by "tho lean o' tho bush." Tho heat of tho sun and tho fury of tho north winds incline trees nnd bush es alike to the south. This is particu larly notlceablo In tall trees standing out in tho open. Again, it Is commonly observed that tho bark on the north side of trees is rougher than on tho south side. On elms, oaks and maples moss grows on tho north side, forming a furry coat against the biting blasts of winter. The sap is warmed up by the sun, and in tho spring sugar mak ers tap tho maples on the south side or wherever the sun can best act on the frozen spring of sweetness, usual ly the southwest. Don't ruii to tho woods or seek tho shelter of tall trees during a thunder storm. Such is the advice of a vet eran of tho fields. If caught in the woods in a storm, look for a cave or an overhanging rock under which pro tection may bo found. Lightning strikes the tallest trees. In the absence . I,. Vail nnfa.'eL.TnEATy ntius at rniiADEiiriiiA. of caves or largo rocks the safest way is to crouch under a low bush or tree with stout, widcspreadlng branches. There the limbs and trees blown down by the storm may be avoided. nickory and chestnut trees are scat tered throughout forests usually and do not form groves by themselves. A chestnut grove Is the lilenl for shade nnd for a playground. The branches aro largo nun Bpwnd lntcrn'lly from the "'J., rnlriy inviting the youth to piny nnd climb. In pine groves there Is seldom any undergrowth. The soil Is very springy and light. Usually the trees stand so closely together that tho ground Is com paratively dry oven after a prolonged downpour.. Snakes and wild animals less frequently haunt these groves be cause of tho lack of undergrowth and hiding places from each other. Nervous persons should always ex amine small moss covered rocks and decayed Jogs before using them for seats. They may bo the lurking places for snakes and other undesirable com pany. ..USE PURE..

No Sediment to Foul Your Refrigerator I.No Disease Germs to Endanger Your Health TAN ORSdEl & ROSS Poison ivy usually chooses damp mound for Its home, nlong stone walls nnd largo sheltering rocks, though It is also found clinging to old trees in dense forests. The leaves grow In clus ters of three. Poison ivy is with dif ficulty distinguished from tho harm- less variety, and tho safest way for a novice is to let all stray vines alone. Wild animals know by instinct when there Is a man with a gun in tho woods SquIrrelB arc particularly knowing In this resnect. "The only way to kin a squirrel Is to shoot him right In the face and be quick about it Even then you may not hit him." If lost In tho woods at night, the best thing to do Is to make a small clearing, build a rousing campflro to keep away wild animals, gather some boughs for a couch and He down "with your soles to tho east" If a searching party Is out, they'll see the light frorri the Are or smell the smoke nnd thus be guided toward you. If you are not among friends, tho fire will keep you safely over night, and you'll arise with the sun, Invigorated and ready for a fresh start after a good night's rest With the sun as a guide you can easily llnd your way out of the woods, whereas after dark you are more likely to walk "round and round In a circle." Undergrowth Is always thickest and most verdant In the vicinity of water. One may drink freely from all forest springs and running streams. Tho only water to be avoided Is that of stagnant ponds and pools. In emergencies even this may bo partaken of sparingly but under no circumstunce should it be taken without first having been filtered through cloth. For this purpose use a handkerchief, a part of the shirt sleeve or any cloth convenient. If a felt hat Is worn, it will make the best fllterer. nowover hopeless the situation may appear, always direct your supreme ef fort toward "keeping cool." Don't lose your head. Ninety-nine out of a hun dred lives lost result from persons los ing their heads. The woodsman's mot to is, "Don't get rattled!" TreeH mill Summer Ilent. It seems safe to say that the hot waves In the west aro more Intense than they would be If the country from tho Appalachian range through Indi- SUltKUNOlUi TltEE, NKAlt SANTIAGO. nun, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas and Colo rado to the Rockies were not treeless to go largo nn extent. Recent experi ments seem to establish that point Tests by the weather bureau at widely separated places on the same parallel of lntitudo have shown that the mean an nual temperaturo is 'lower at the sta tlons in tho wooded districts than at those on the open plains. And, while that is true, It has also been found that the extremes both of bent and cold were greater on the plains than in the forests. Forests, it is easy to see, act as wind breaks both In cold nnd in hot weather, nnd thus they tend to moderate tho temperature In the country surround lug them. If n careful study were made of the location of tho forests in tho western country a hundred or sov enty-flvo years ago, It might be shown that thoy covered Ohio, Indiana, Ken tucky, Michigan, Wisconsin and Mln nesotn to such nn extent that they must have influenced tho mean tern peraturo of tho whole prairie section nnd that their wholcsnlo removal has brought about changed conditions for the inhabitants of the west The IndlRcatlble Banana. "Next to pork," says a 'physician, "bananas aro the most indigestible thing n person can eat, nnd if you will uotlco you will seo them touched very sparingly by people with weak stonf achB. If you can digest them, however, nnd don't mind the offenslvo odor, they are very nourishing, and one can make a meal on them that 'la in'levcry way equal to a substantial .lunch of bread lud meat" , 3d u J, I JT TKSSS t I OF iWSKlCAf By Rodney Llnhoim Copyright, 1902, by American Prena Association SOME trees charm the eye ol tho beholder with their magnitude or their plctur esquencss or their beauty of outline nnd foliage, while others In terest the mind by tho stories they tell. Four trees noted for generations as souvenirs of important events in Amer lean history are the Washington Elm, the Charter Oak, tho Council Tree and Penn's Treaty Tree. Recently the Spanish war has added the Surrender Treo at Santiago to tho ranks of cele brated forest monarchs. The Charter Oak, at Hartford, Conn., was reputed to be venerable at the 'time it became famous. Trnditlon says that it was over COO years old when, in 1697,-the daring spirits of tho colony of Connecticut hid In its trunk the charter of their liberties as a ruse to avoid tho surrender of the document to tho king's officer. King Charles II. had granted tho charter, and his broth er and successor, tho Duke of l'ork, empowered Governor Andross to recall nil New England charters and rule the coloUles as one realm. The people of the colony of Connecticut refused to give up their rights, nnd when the charter was demanded hid it In tho hollow trunk of the ancient oak. King Jnmes was driven from his throne and Governor Andross recalled, and the charter remained in full force. The old tree was destroyed by a storm in 1854. Penn's TrentyTree stood on the banks of the Delaware river at a place orig inally cnlled Shackamnxon, but now Kensington, within the precincts of Philadelphia, its history dates back to a day In November, 1G82, when Wil liam Penn, the English Quaker col onist, met under its spreading branches the chiefs of the Delaware tribe of red men and concluded the famous treaty which became the foundation stone of the great commonwealth of Pennsyl vania. Among other pleasant things Penn said to tho children of the forest: "We meet In tho broad pathway of good faith and good will. No advan tage shall be taken on either side, but all shall be openness nnd love. We are nil one flesh and blood." The Indians listened with delight, for Penn was a now type of white man. They said, "We will live in love with William Penn and his children as long as the sun nnd the moon shall en dure." The treaty was not sworn to. nnd it was never broken. Penn's treaty tree was a spreading elm. It was long venerated for Its as sociations, and Penn himself once tried to purchase the estate on which it stood. It was often painted, and copies of tl'.t original drawings are still in ex istence. During a gale in December, 1810, tho venerable tree was prostrat ed and found by the rings iu its trunk to bo 2S0 years old.

At the time of the incident tho tree stood at tho north end of the Cambridge common and was then noted for its size and beauty. Tho Continental forces were ranged upon the common to re ceive their new chief.

Th Is plan he Sens opposed, and Lincoln finding the cause hopeless, soon afterward surrendered the troops and the city. 8 Conspicuous on the bit of landscape which s included in the San Juan Bat Sold park at Santiago is the famo Surrender Tree, where General Shaftcr met tho Spanish commander, roral, and arranged for the surrender of the rltv The tree is a celba, or silk cot ton, and one of the largest in that re cion. Tho celba tree is never found In forests nnd usually stands In the open because It drives out all other varie ties It is quite as common an arbo real feature In tho West Indies as the oak and elm In the United States. All the conferences between the Span ish and American officers during the negotiations about surrender were hold under the Surrender Tree. It was there that Generals Miles and Toral had their preliminary talk on tho 13th of July, three days before tho surrender. 4The celba stood midway between tho lines.

At the same time General Shatter returned to General Toral the sword and spurs taucn uy mo Ameri cans from the body of General del Roy, the Spanish leader who fell In the de- v b t-1 rio.irt.

' EFFECTS OF VIBRATION. Wo ii ml Ilnvo Hccn Ilenlcil by Sonni Wuves of n Violin, A man was conveyed to a hospital In Paris suffering from an accident which resulted in a serious wound. This wound refused to heal, and all the various treatments applied to it failed to effect the desired end. The man was attacked from time to time by violent paroxysms, and death ap peared, certain. At length the surgeon enlisted the services -of a good violin player and treated the sufferer to a musical remedy. The patient's parox ysms ceased, and from that time the wound began to heal. The violin play ing was continued at intervals till re covery was assured. In another case tho wound continued to suppurate despite all that could bo done. The patient was calm and re signed, but nothing could be done for the wound. The violin was called into requisition in this instance nlso, and the Instrument was played close to tho injured part, which was bared for tho purpose. The surgeon soon observed a change. The wound assumed a healthier appearance, and the process of healing began and progressed rap Idly. It Is an undoubted fact that certain vibrations can effect cures, but -tho vi brations must be strictly In accord ance with the malady or nature of the wound. Some enthusiasts go s,o far nB to assert that tiro character of individ uals can be changed by the constant application of the proper vibration. Pearson's Weekly. How tho Rolirn Given AViirnliiR, The most dangerous reptiles of India nud Africa are the cobras. No snakes, not even rattlesnakes, are more dread ed, and with reason. As the rattlo snnke warns the ear by Its significant "rattle," so the cobras warn the eye by tho modo in which they expand the up per part of the body when Irritated. This expansion Is produced by n sud. den movement of tho ribs of that re gion of the body. Usually they incline backward, but the animal when irrltnt ed makes them stand out at right an gles to the body and so, of course, forces outward the skin which covera them. Thus the neck, or part Just be hind tho head, becomes greatly ex ponded and flattened, as It nlso does, though In a less degree, in the Austra Unn blacksnnko. This expansion Is called a hood, and bo tho animals aro called hooded snakes, in some of thera thero Is on tho back of the hood a dark mark, something like a pair of spectacle, and they have therefore been called specta cle snakes.
