World Withcut Trees Trees protect health by helping to purify the alir,. : The follage of trees exudes moisture in rainless periods, preventing extreme hot weather. ) h 3 The forest floor absorbs most of the ‘water from rain and melting snows, releasing it evenly and regularly into the streams, so that there will not -be floods and the fertility of farm lands will not be destroyed by erosion. Trees restore the fertility of waste lands Hy causing the accumulation of vegetation that forms a top-soil and contributes elements essentlal to plant life. ' Trees shade streams from the sun, preventing evaporation and complete drying up of small streams. Forests break the force of the wind, protecting homes, orchards and crops. Trees shelter the birds which destroy insects that prey upon human and plant life. Forests furnish refuge for game, giving mankind food, furs and hunting. : Trees provide health through opportunity for recreation and through the pure air, water, herbs, oil and drugs they give man. Trees furnish paper for newspape?s‘ magazines and books and are important in advancing education. Trees furnish nuts, berries, maple sirup, honey, flavoring extracts, many fruits and other foods. Trees furnish lumber for the building of homes and the making of thousands of articles in daily use. Trees are an important factor in transportation by rail or water; they provide also for telephone communiccation. ' _ . Forests are important in proteecting water-power resources from which are obtained power and light to make homes comfortable and turn the wheels of industry. Few Aristocratic Beauties ~ An effort has recently been made in Paris to decide once for all what type of face is truly aristocratic. In order to accomplish this, 70 women of the old aristocracy were photographed. To qualify for this distinctlon one must be able to prove that not for two centuries has there been .an admixture of nonaristocratic or foreign blood. Those with an English or a German or an Italian ancestor or two need not apply, even though ‘those forbears were dukes or princes. " Having secured the gallery of ladies of untainted stock, generalizations as to features were then made. It then became apparent that the true French aristocrat was not necessarily beautiful. Her nose was long and thin and her eyes were well shaped, though a trifle prominent. Soviet Claims Resented A curious controversy has arisen with regard to a fund which was bequeathed by a Dutchman in 1914 to the Russian Academy of Sciences and which never was paid. It is claimed now by the present managing committee of the academy. As the Soviet government, however, has declared that it is not bound by the treaties concluded by Russian imperial governments with other powers, it is doubted whether the academy has any right to proclaim itself the legal successor of the former academy. There is no jurisprudence in the country providing for such cases, but Dutch public opinion strongly disapproves the assurance of the Russians to put in a claim while owing 1,200,000 guilders (about $480.000) to Dutch investors. Where America I's Behind Little New Zealand, an island under British domination, on the other side of the globe, has an infant mortality rate of 39.96 for every 1,000 live births, the lowest of any nation on earth. In Wellington, - its important city, the rate was 35, and in Dunedin 33. In the United States the rate for 1925 was 72, nearly twice that of New Zealand. Despite American progress, we still have much to learn from our neighbors.—Capper’s ‘Weekly,

Wireless in Belgian Congo Several wireless stations have been completed in the Belgian Congo. The one at Kafubu was in full operation at the end of April, and the Sololo station was to be commissioned soon afterward. The wireless stations at Coquilhatville, Lisala, and at Albertville, will begin operations about the first of 1927. The Coquilhatville station will use short wave length, and the contractor has guaranteed through communications with Belgium. Many Kinds of Milk According to definitions recently -announced by the Department of Agriculture the word milk may mean any of the following thirteen kinds: Milk, pasteurized milk, homogenized milk, skimmed milk, buttermilk, goat's ‘milk (and under this rating, ewe’s milk), evaporated milk, sweéetened condensed milk, evaporated skimmed -milk, sweetened condensed milk, dried milk and dried skimmed milk. —Washington Star. # ' “Time and Tide” The word “tide” in this phrase is merely a synonym for time. It does not refer to the tides of the ocean, as commonly supposed. “Tid” is the An-glo-Saxon word for time. The old form is retained in such compounds as .Christmas-tide and Whitsun-tide. “Time and tide wait for no man” means exactly the same, no more and mo less, as “time waits for no man.,”— Hxchange. ¢t

ODD BANK NOTES ‘OF EARLY TIMES Before Nation’s Currency _ Was Made Stable. Issces of Confederate money provided some interesting incidents, says Farran Zerbe in “The Story of Money.” The earliest issues were from Montgowery, Ala., the first capital, and are rather rare. The plates for these were produced in the North, in advance of the outbreak of the war. Their denominations ran from $3O to $l,OOO. When the capital of the Confederacy moved to Richmond, Va., the notes were issued from 50 cents to $6OO. Some plates for Confederate notes were made in England and were seized by the Union government on their way over to the Confederacy. When the Civil war came to an end notes printed on one side and uncut were found at Richmond. : . Among the extraordinary episodes of the Civil war is this: A proclamation: was issued in May, 1862, by the (Confederate commander at Mesilla, Ariz.. declaring it to be treason to refuse Confederate money. Shortly thereafter the California volunteers drove the Confederates and their wmoney out and arranged with a mercantile house to issue money which wes glgned by the commander of their forces. This money was known as ‘'rag money”’ because it was printed ou muslin. When this was issued the coummander of the California volunteevs -issued a proclamation in Spanish declaring it treason to accept Confederate money. i Speaking of California, there were some interesting notes issmed in that state in the early days. Among them wer¢ the “shin plasters,” which were payable in gold dust, harking back to the gold rush days. Evidences of how California kept on a specie basis during the Civil war is shown by checks which indicate that a depositor was giver an account to correspond with the kind of money he deposited. For example, if he deposited gold he could draw checks payable in gold. If he deposited silver he was entitled to silver; !f curcency, currency. The common money of the pioneers was gold dust end nuggets, to be later followed by private colpage from 25 cents to $5O, the latter, octagonal shape, being the well-Enown California “slug.” Some notes in this country have been printed in other than English. For example, notes of several banks in Pennsylviania were printed in Ger: man. in Louisiana from 1830 te 1850, the reriod of wildcat banking, notes were vprinted partly in French and partly ix English. Notes in Texas were priated partly in Spanish and partly ‘na Xnglish, and in New Mexico some scrip was entirely in Spanish. In troublous times in this country prodacere have issued scrip payable In the!r ows wares for exchange purposes. For example, a strawberry firm issued a scrip payable in strawberries, others issued it payable in labor, dentistry, yarn, whisky, ete.

Way of a Word . Is it not strange that almost Invariably when one speaks of some one in public there is some person within earshot who is (if not the person himself) a relative or friend of that person? ; Illustrative is the following inci‘dent : . . '~ Mrs. Frank Wallace, wife of the state entomologist, reported to her husband one evening recently she at last had learned his correct title. Whiie riding on a street car that morning she said she had overheard her hushand’s name mentioned by one of two persons in the seat ahead of her. “Frank Wallace? Oh, yes,” said the other. “I've heard of him. He's the state emptyologist.”—lndianapolis | News. ’ , - Seek Rare Flower More than 100 years age a small white flower, said to grow only on Unalaska island in the Aleutian group, was found there. During the last century botanists vainly searched for it. This summer the second specimen was obtained there by Prof. George Haley of St. Ignatius collége, San Francisco. |’ The bloom was first reported by @it Frenchman whe accompanied a partys(: known as the Kotzebue expedition to.| this island in 1815-19. Five other par- .| ties visited the island to hunmt for it and left empty-handed. S ok

Girl Wins Cycle Honors Miss Nancy Debenham has proved the champion motor cycle test rider of England. Against a field of some forty men compétitors, Miss Debenham, still in her teens, won her race with a good lead. and received the gold cup for the best performance in a 200-mile reliability trial conducted by the Longdon Motorcycling club. She achiéved the distinction on a two-and-one-fourth-horsepower machine, which was the lghtest one taking part in the contest. : Young Seal as a Pet Herbert Murray, a boy of Fifeshire, Scotland, has adopted a young seal as a pet. It lives in the lad’s. garden, with an old box as its home, The seal ~was found at the slieds of the Wormit Boating club and refused to leave. Though placed in the water, it insisted on returning to the beach. Two members of the club threw it overhoard. The seal, however, returned, crying piteously. Then Herbert Murray, whose father is a noted Scottish ‘whaling skipper, took pity on the visitor and adopted it. = {‘
