THE COWTHORPE OAK.
Tree In Yorkshire, England, It Said U
Be Five Hundrad Yaara Old.
One of the oldest of British tree la
tto Cowthorpe oak, which has been
tandlng near Wetherbjr. In Yorkshire,
for BOO years, according to veracious
chronicle. It Is a tree that has been
described often and has figured In
works of fiction.
It Is related of this tree, eajs the
New Tork Sun, that on occasion as
many as forty persons have been
gathered within the hollow of Ita
trnnk, although It must be confessed
that some of these were children. The
most recent measurement shows that
Its girth of trunk at the ground was
fifty-four feet three Inches, and the
cavity was eleven feet by nine feet
The tree Is not now so very tall,
reaching only thirty-seven feet Into the
air. There are twenty-five props about
the tree to support the falling branches.
The cavity has been noticeable only
lace the beginning of the nineteenth
century. Many of the earlier measure
ments show that the tree once was
much greater In girth than now.
Aged as It Is, the tree bore acorns In
1901 and 1005 and always produces a
fair amount of foliage. In 1803 an
acorn borne by the Cowthorpe oak was
planted near by, and a tree Is growing
op slowly as a memorial to the parent
New Chines 8hadowa.
The following Is a very simple meth
od of producing on the wall a series of
new Chinese shadows, the operator as
well as the little folk delineated re
maining behind the lookers-on, which
Is sometimes an advantage.
Place a candle on a table and on the
wall opposite affix a sheet of foolscap
for a screen. Between the candle and
the screen Interpose some opaque body,
HOW TO PEBFOBM THB THICK. .
such as a cardboard calendar or a
largo volume. Now, how are you go
ing to project your shadows on the
screen when It Is already dark? Very
simply by means of a mirror fixed at
the edge of a table. The reflection of
the mirror will be thrown on the wall
either In a parallelogram or In an oval,
and if your screen is in the suitable
position and you work your pasteboard
dolls correctly between them, the mir
ror and the wall, your audience will
tee the figures dance without finding
out the way It Is done. Magical Ex
periments. Said to Ba Jaeob'a Wall.
A German truvcler, writing from
Palestine to a Cologne paper, says:
"Our guide, a tall, swarthy, long beard
ed man, who could earn much money
as a model, grew eloquent when we
came to Schechem, a place which
should be sacred to the Hebrews be
cause Its history is so closely Inter
woven with theirs. Here we saw what
Is known as Jacob's well, which Is In
the shadow of Mount Gerlzlm. It Is
about seventy feet deep, they told us,
and eight feet In diameter. 'Here,'
said our guide, 'stood the oak of Mo
reh, where Abraham, when he came
to Canaau, built the first altar. In the
days of Jacob, Schechem had become
a business town, and here it was that
the traders of that time came with
their live stock aud products of the
field to trade.' All its commercial
greatness has vanished, but It will at
tract religious people as long as the
well, which is still In a good state of
preservation, remains."
Jacae's Adventure.
Jesse, who Is just learning to talk,
always speaks of himself as "she."
Not long since he ran in, trembling
with excitement, and announced:
"Oh, mamma, she turn to de hen
bouse, an' she see er ole hen, nn' she
shake her wing at she, an' she wun
away."
Tha Clock.
Ha stands in tha corner from moraine till
night,
A patient old thing with no feet.
His face ii as shining and round aa a
moon,
And, oh, so exceedingly neat
From breakfast to supper.
Right on through the day.
Tick-took, tlck-tock! I'm only a clock.
Tlck-tock, tlck-tock!" he'll say.
His hands are quite tidy and grow on his
face.
When I get to be big I shall know
Why one Is so long and tha other ao short.
And one he moves fast and one alow.
From breakfast to supper.
Right on through the day,
"Tlck-tock. tlck-tock! I'm only a clock.
Tlck-tock, tlck-tock!" he'll say.
At night, when I'm sleeping, he keepj
wide awake
To see what the little mice do.
And he watches the brownie creep la
through the blind.
Hla little red shoes soaked with dew.
From supper to breakfast.
From nighttime to day,
"Tlck-tock. tlck-tock! I'm only a clock.
Tlck-tock, tlck-tock!" he'll aay.
And when it comes morning I wish ha
would tell.
I ask him;' but never a trace
Of the wonderful doings ha saw in the
night
Doea ha show in hla sober old face,
prom breakfast to supper.
Right on through the day.
Tlck-tock, tlck-tock! I'm only a clock.
Tlck-tock, tlck-tock!" he'll say.

Plan for
Summer Comfort
Don't add the heat of a
kitchen fire to the sufficient
discomfort of hot weather.
Use a New Perfection Wick
Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove
and cook in comfort
With a "New Perfection-" Oil Stove the preparation of
daily meals,' or the big weekly "baking,,,is done without
raising the temperature perceptibly above that of any other
room in me nouse.
If you once have experience with the
NEW PERFEO10W
Wick Blue Flame OQ Cook-Stove
you will be amazed at the restful way in which it
enables you to do work that has heretofore overheated
the kitchen and yourself.
The "New Perfection" Stove is ideal for summer
use. Made in three sizes and all warranted. If

"Papa," began Gunston Junior, "when
the government of the United States
began to coin gold aud silver money
It was necessary to buy the gold and
silver, wasn't It?"
"Yes, my sou," replied flunston sen
ior rather cautiously.
"Of course, papa," resumed the
youngster, "you'll 1 able to tell me
where the government got the money
to buy the gold and silver."
"Why er of course," stammered
Gunston senior as he put down the pa
per and gazed thoughtfully at the boy
"Now, let me understand you. The
government wanted to coin uidney, and
in order to do so U was necessary to
purchase gold and silver. "Yon want
to know where the government got
the money to buy the gold and silver?"
"That's right," chuckled Gunston
Junior gleefully, and a great joy filled
his being as he thought of bis all lm
pertant sire struggling with the simple
nuestlon.
"Why, sonny, the government simply
issued dollar bills and bought gold and
silver with them. Anything else?"
"Yes," raid Guuston Junior. "Where
did the government get money to buy
