Charles Hurst’s Scheme to Scat- j ter English Oaks. ’ T —' ■ 1 ■ > I Wayside Beggars by the Promise of Pennies Enlisted in His Plan For Propagating the Trees in County of Lancashire. Animated by love for the beautiful oaks of Erfgland, Mr. Charles Hurst started from Manchester on a famous planting walk which he has commem orated most charmingly in his recent volume, entitled “The Book of the English Oak.” Not content with planning to leave a track in the form of a noble fine of oaks of his own I planting scattered along a portion of his path through Lancashire, Mr. Hurst, with considerable cunning, enlisted four trafaps in the cause, with such success that the lazy fellows planted fifty acorns in an hour. The miracle began with the request for a penny by a beggar who admitted that he was a snow shoveler in summer and a haymaker in winter, and that his three friends were in the same occupations.

“Now look here,” said Mr. Hurst, “I I can find you all a grand job with better pay than you ever got before, un- | less you have been cabinet ministers, I bishops or managing directors. Ask them to come here. as they stood round, “you see those seeds? If you will plant them as I direct, I will give you twopence apiece for each one you set. Who says willtag?" Mr. Hurst spread about fifty acorns, brought from home, on his handkerchief. He gave each man an acorn that, at a given signal, he must plant at one of the marked places, and then return for another. He pointed out that under this arrangement the amount of their earnings depended on the vigor of their exertions, for the more energetic the man the greater bls proportion of the whole sum set for oak culture. “Shades of Sherwood!” to continue in Mr. Hurst’s own words. "What a sight it was to see those curious creatures displaying frantic energy beneath the blazing sky! As each man rushed toward me I held out an acorn and uttered words of encouragement, warning or banter, as the case required. “For nearly- an hour did the tremendous activity continue, until not an acorn remained on the handkerchief. "I then cast up the account in my notebook, which showed the following aoore: Red Man, twelve; Melancholy Man, sixteen; Fat Man, eleven; Bluefaeed Man, thirteen."—Youth’s Com-

Dr. Nathaniel Butler Tells Story. In his talk to the Wisconsin Federation of Women's clubs at Green Bay. Dr. Nathaniel Butler of the University of Chicago, told a story of a country school teacher who had some trouble teaching her pupils the difference between the transitive verb, “lay.” and the intransitive verb, "lie.” After time spent in explanations, the teacher asked one of the boys to give an illustration of the different uses of the words. “Well,” said the most freckled and most energetic student of the class, “if I hear a hen cackling in our bam and go out there and find an egg. the hen has laid. If I don’t find an egg she has lied.”

What Children Say.

A little girl of three and one-half years defined a wedding as ‘lt s when a lady goes into the church with a curtain on her head and comes out I with a man.” Another little girl remarked to her grandpa that her doll was stuffed with sawdust. Grandpa asked: “And what are you stuffed with, Dorothy?”. Whereupon this sage of three replied: I “1 don't know. God stuffed me.” Another little girl was talking about I her Sunday school lesson and of the two Johns of whom her teacher had told her. "There was John the Baptist,” she repeated, “and John the beloved disciple.” “There were three.” her younger sister gravely corrected: “You didn’t name John Bull.”

Only a Short Time.

“What's the reason Grlsby doesn’t apply for divorce?” “Why, his wife has taken to monoplaning, and he thinks he might as well wait.”

Makeup of Typhoons.

Contrary to the general impression a typhoon, that is what is known to the scientist as a "well-formed” one, does not consist of merely a terrific gale of wind'with a calm spot in the immediate- center. On the contrary next to the center, which may have a diameter anywhere from two. miles to fifty where the calm belt reigns, there is a sort of ring " generally less than a mile in diameter in which light winds prevail. "After this is passed cbmes the real main body of the destroyer, which may '■ have a total diameter of anywhere from 200 to 1.000 miles or even" mor* Winter is coming, batten the cracks Sour milk is caused by dirt and ; warmth. ■< , . j What water is td a person a dust bath is to a Jr __ .

Kidney Trouble Affected His Nervous System. Mr. E. T. Cau, Logansport, Ind., tells us how many ways kidney trouble affected him. He recommends Foley Kidney Pills, which relieved him of his troubles. “For the past two years I have been bothered with my kidneys and bladder. The action of my kidneys was irregular and attended with pain and a burning sensation, and my bladder was inflamed. It seemed to affect my nervous system and I was bothered with dizzy spells. Some time ago I started to take Foley Kidney Pills and. they helped immediately. A few doses stopped the burning sensation, the dizzy, spells left me and I feel 100 per cent better. I gladly recommend Foley Kidney Fills to anyone suffering as I did.” —A. F. Long.
