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

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

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!"

Tests by the weather bureau at widely

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

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.

Washington drew his sword on tho

maud of the Revolutionary army.
Washlngtou'8 Elm now stands In the
middle of a street in Cambridge and
has many visitors, who are pleased to
carry nway as souvenirs scraps of Its
crumbling bark or falling leaves. 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.
For neiirjy three-quarters of a con
tury.or from 17S0 to IStu, the south

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.

' 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.
