TINY INSECTS CAUSE TREE'S BLUSH
CHangs of Color Which Had Long
Been Considered Remarkable Is of
. Simple Explanation.
A tree which changes color blushes
like any school girl is, something of
a curiosity, and for some time the
cause of the blush puzzled botanists.
A German savant, indeed, Is said to
have begun a ponderous treatise on
the subject, when the explanation was
discovered, not by Teutonic theorizing,
but by simple examination.
The blushing tree is found In the
Florida swamps, and assumes its mod
est and mysterious glow of color dur
ing and for a short while after a rain
storm. As the wet drenches its foli
age, a change of hue at once takes
place. Gradually the green gives way
to pink, which creeps over the leaves,
deepening as It goes, till in a minute
or two the green Is gone. Only by
examining closely under the boughs,
broad leaves, and on the trunk, are a
few streaks of green to be detected.
The tree, on the whole, is as pink as

Choosing a Man
for Husband
By H. IRVING KING
(ffl, 1923, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
Peter Hampden was thirty-five and
looked ten years older, for his had
been a busy life, from which he had
cut out all superfluities like yachting,
golfing and marriage. When barely
of age he bad bean known In the street
as "the old young man." How a man
of thirty-five came to be trustee or
young lady approaching twenty-nve
was this way. uanuice juimurus
grandfather had, by will, appointed
Peter's father trustee of the estate of
his orphaned granddaughter, with
power to appoint his successor, and
Peter's father had bequeathed tne
trust to Peter. After Candlce had
done with her finishing school Peter
had seen a greatdeal of her, for John
Randall and he had many business
Interests together, and It was with
Mr. and Mrs. Randall that Candlce
made her home, Mrs. Randall being
Candice's aunt.
In summer Peter was constantly
running down to the Randall country
place for the week-end, reconciling
himself to such an Indulgence by the
fact that there he could talk shop with
John without fear of interference by
other business men. But If Peter saw
a great deal of Candlce he also saw a
great deal of a certain antique side
board he had in his bachelor lodgings.
He admired them both and was watch
ful that nothing untoward happened
to either but to Peter a sideboard
was only a sideboard and a girl was
only a girl. They were all (except
the sideboard) down at the Randall
country place on Long Island.
The house was full of guests, as
usual, for Mrs. Randall was fond of
entertaining, and, moreover, was de
termined that Candlce should have an
opportunity to select a first-class ar
ticle in the way of a husband. Can-
dice was horribly hard to suit, her
aunt thought, but she nevertheless
went on displaying her wares and dis
coursing on the texture and quality of
each exhibit like a good "saleslady."
She had considerable hope of mak
ing a sale this season. Willie An
struthers and Calvin George were pay
ing fast and furious court to Candlce,
and for a wonder Candice appeared
to be encouraging them. Peter, who
had Just arrived, was sitting with
Mrs. Randall on the piazza when Can-
dice, with a young man In attend
ance, came strolling from the direc
tion of the lawn.
"Who Is that with Candlce?" asked
Peter.
"Young Anstruthers," replied Mrs.
Randall, "and I do hope she will take
him. It's time she got married. If
she doesn't take him I think she will
choose Calvin George, who Is a good
mafth, too. I was beginning to lose
all patience with the'girl, but of late
I have begun to have hopes of her."
"Hum-m," said Peter, thoughtfully.
Candlce in connection with marriage
was somelhing new' to him he re
quired time to assimilate the Idea.
That evening as Peter, having
pinned his host Into an obscure corner
of the piazza, was upon the point of
convincing him that an amalgamation
of P. Q. & C. with the C. T. & K,
would be an excellent and most prof
itable combination and wouldn't hurt
the anti-trust law, Mrs. Randall came
and retrieved her husband with
"John, you really must come and
speak to the Hetheringtons they
have just motored over from Glen
Cove."
Mentally anathematizing the Heth
eringtons, Peter sat glooming in the
gloom when there appeared to him a
graceful, white-robed figure and a
pleasant voice that said: "Oh, Mr.
Peter, I am so 'glad to catch you alone.
I have been watching for .an opportu
nity to ask your advice." She always
called him Mr. Peter. It was a com
promise between Peter and Mr. Hamp
den. "My dear Candice," replied the man
of business, "as your trustee, to give
you advice Is of course my duty as
well as pleasure yes, pleasure, I am
sure. What is It? Your Investments
are"
"Oh, It Isn't money," cried Cadlce
a trifle petulantly. "It's about well
about getting married."
"Mrs. Randall said something on
the subject to me this afternoon," re
plied Peter. "There are two young
men under consideration, I under
stand. The matter Is entirely outside
my Jurisdiction, I am merely trustee
of your property. But since you con
sult me I must say that I don't see
why you need be married at all."
"But It Is rather expected of one
Isn't It?" replied Candlce demurely.
"Well, yes of women I suppose It
Is rather expected," admitted Peter
reluctantly.
"Willie Anstruthers 4s a very nice
young man," ventured Candlce.
"Humph I Don't fancy him,
growled Peter.
"And Calvin George Is considered a
great catch," she went on.
"No business ability whatever," said
Peter, emphatically. "But of course
If you are really In love with either
of these young men but this is en
tirely outside of my Jurisdiction.
"But suppose," said Candice, "that
I wasn't In love with either of them,
bat with some one else?"
"Oh, In that case what sort of
business man Is this other?"
"An excellent one," replied Candlce,
with a little giggle.
"And of a suitable age?"
"Just ten years older than myself,"
shyly.
Correct in his habits?"
Oh, remarkably so."
'These things are Important," went
on Peter, "for when my trusteeship
terminates your husband would natur
ally be the one to look after your
business matters. Be will find every,-
thing In order and that your fortune
has considerably Increased under my
care which reminds me that the time
is fast approaching when by the terms
of your grandfather's will, I must re
linquish the supervision of your af
fairs." "And you say that' my husband
would naturally be the person to look
after them?" asked Candice.
"Yes, when I give them up," replied
Peter.
"But I don't want you to give them
up." .
"Why?" asked Peter.
"You are too stupid for' anything,"
cried Candlce angrily as she arose
and hurried away. Outside of busi
ness Peter could not see an Inch be
yond his nose and It was a remark
ably short nose, too. Candice's angry
parting outburst had left him utterly
bewildered but It set his mind at
work thinking of the young lady, her
ways, her looks and her mental qual
ities In an analytical manner which
heretofore he had never eihployed
with regard to them. At last he said
to himself : "Well, she will be a prize
for somebody," and with a sigh arose
and went to bed. But bis sleep was
broken and his dreams were ail of
Candice. By morning his mind was
made up; the true state of his heart
had been revealed to him but he felt
like saying all the time: "This Is so
sudden." And It was. Candice scarce
ly spoke to him all day; avoided him
openly and ostentatiously went out
for a long morning's walk with Willie
Anstruthers. But In the evening
Peter caught her alone for a minute
and said: "Candice, I would like to
continue the management of your es
tate us your hnshnnfl.
"Oh, thanks, awfully," replied Can-
dice pertly. "But I accepted Willie
Anstruthers for the Job this morning."
At this Peter let himself go. Was
he, indeed, too late? All the love and
passion which had been lying dormant
for years came to life and turned to
burning words of pleading upon his
lips.
I am afraid," said Candice Inter
rupting him, "that you were a trifle
slow at there Is aunt calling me,"
and she ran swiftly away.
Peter strolled moodily out to the.
grove and there, In the dark shadows
of the trees, came across Willie An
struthers walking pensively. "Mr.
Anstruthers," said Peter, "I under
stand that Miss Mlnturn has accepted
your suit. As her 'trustee "
Accepted me I" cried Willie. "The
deuce she has 1 She gave me the mit
ten without benefit of clergy this fore
noon." Peter hurried back to the house and
found Candice. "You witch," he
whispered, "what do you mean by
playing with hearts? Why did you
tell me you had accepted Willie An
struthers?" "Peter," replied Candlce with a mis
chievous smile, "I suppose you are too
straightforward a business man ever
to have made a wash sale to send up
the market?"
I think you will agree with Mrs.
Randall that it was high time Candlce
was provided with a husband.
BARBERS IN BIBLICAL TIMES
Occupation Specifically Mentioned and
Otherwise Referred To in
Pages of Scripture'.
The word barber Is only once men
tioned In the Scriptures, namely, In
Ezekiel 5-:l, which reads : "And thou,
son of man, take thee a sharp knife,
take thee u barber's razor, and cause it
to pass upon thine head and upon thy
beard. ..."
Although barbers are not often ex
pressly mentioned,- yet from the con
stant mention of shaving and the In
cident of Delilah sending for a man
to shave Samson, there can be no
doubt that his class existed among the
ancients. The Hebrews were partlcu
larly careful of their heads and beards,
and ail seem to have applied the razor
except the Nazarites, who were un
touched by It from their birth. The
Egyptian barbers were called khak or
shavers, and they are represented at
work in a tomb of Benl-Hassan, of
the Twelfth dynasty... holding their
razors in the hand, which have a short
cylindrical handle, with a broad, flat
blade of bronze on a line with the
axis of the handle.

Pigeons Die Where They Roost,
"During my 25 years' experience as

"climbing city spires and other lofty
structures, I have seen hundreds of
dead pigeons. They die where they
roost, In the belfries, on beams or any
projections Inside the spires ; often on
their nests. On each occasion that
