ELI CATES RETURNS TO VANCOUVER CLUB is Eli Cates, a Greensfork boy, who has distinguished himself on the diamond, has signed again with Vancouver, in the Northwestern league. His record for last year with the Vancouver club clearly demonstrates that he is a pitcher and batter of no small ability. His batting average for last year was .337. Out of twenty-eight games which he pitched, he won seventeen. Cates formerly "knocked around" with the semi-prof, teams in and about Richmond and it was while here that he began to shine. He played with the Kansas City American Association team and went from Kansas City to the Washington Americans. He played with the Washington club for two years. Might Is rffght.

PRINTING IN CHINA. Often No Presses Are Used, a Pair ef Brushes Doing the Work. The Chinese assert that the art of printing was discovered in China about fty years before the Christian era. Until tbe discovery of the art of papermaklng. A. D. 03. they printed on silk or cloth cut in the form of leaves. Tbe method employed to this day by many native Chinese printers is as follows: No printing press Is used. Tbe deli cate nature of tbe Chinese paper would tiof admit of it. When tbe blocks are engraved, the paper cut and the ink ready one mau witb bis brush will print a large number of sheets in a day. The block to be printed must be placed perfectly level and secured firmly. The printer has two brushes, one of lijem stiff er than the other, which be cuu bold iu his band uuu use at either end. lie dips it into the ink and rubs tbe block witb it. taking care not to moisten it too much or leave it too dry. If It were wetted too much the characters would be blurred: if too little, they would uot print. Wheu once the block is got into tbe proper coudition be'ean print three or four impressions with out dipping bis brush into tbe ink again. Tbe second brush is used to rub over the paper witb a small degree of pres sure, that it may take the impression. This It does easily, for. uot being sized witb alum, it receives the ink tbe inula nt it comes in contact with it. It is only Decessary that tbe brush should

oe passed over every part of tut- sheet , with a greater or smaller deyxee of pressure and repeated in proportion ! us the printer finds there is more or I less Ink upon the block. Harper's I Weekly. MIXED JIELATI0NS., A Family Problem a Lawyer Did Not Care to Tackle. A lawyer received a call from a new client, a man bent upon recovering a sum of money advanced upon a note and not repaid. "Who is the debtor?" asked the law yer. Oh, she's a relative of mine.' "Oow nearly related?" "Very nearly." "But, my dear sir. persisted the lawyer, "you must be more explicit." "Well, she may be my mother-in-law." "May be? Then you are likely to marry her daughter." "I've already married the daughter." "Then, of course, the defendant is your mother-in-law." Terhaps you'd better hear the whole story." returned tbe client. "Ton see. a year ago we lived together, my son and L Across tbe way lived tbe Widow Foster and her daughter Mary. I married Mary, and my son married the widow. Now perhaps you can tell me whether my son's wife is my mother-in-law or my daughter-in-law." Tbe lawyer did not answer. The problem was unfamiliar. Be was not ready. "I dont think I can take your case," he said. "It presents too many complications.' "Very well." returned the man. taking bis hat despondently. "But there's one thing 1 forgot Since our doable wedding child has been born to each of us. What relation are those two children to each other?" -

EARLHAM COLLEGE DEFEATED BUTLER The Earlham College basketball ! quintet downed Butler College at the Coliseum last evening by the lop-sided score of 32 to 15. At no stage of the game were the Irvington athletes in the running and the Quakers, through fast team play and good basket shooting, had an easy time of it. Beary opened the game with a wonderful succession of goals from the field that threatened to annihilate the men from the state capital. With five goals by Berry and two each by Gilbert and Brownell, the first half ended 22 to 6 in favor of Earlham. Both teams slowed up in the last half, and failed to produce any spectacular plays, but the local youngsters kept their big lead safe at all stages. Lancaster, playing his first game at guard for the Quakers, covered the whole floor, and kept the visiting forwards from finding the basket. The lineup: Earlham (32) .

ARTICLE II. In a previous article it was pointed out that trees are living, working beings, and that Insofar as the essentials of life are concerned, they do not differ much from other living things; but trees are highly organized, and in the scale of plant life they stand at the top. When we begin to consider the or

ganization of life, we come to one of the most important factors in life ; forms. When we say that this form of j life is higher than that, we mean that ! this form is more highly organized j than that. If we descend the scale of either plant or animal life to the simplest forms, we find that each consists of a single cell, be it plant or animal, ' we call unorganized, or more accurate- j ly, undifferentiated. Such simple j forms of life are capable of perform- j ing all the functions of life, that is, I they can take nourishment, they grow, j they have the power of movement, they breathe and when they reach maturity they divide in two and. the two thus formed are young plants. Such simple forms of plant life may be seen, growing on the bark on the north sides of trees, and look like green paint. A very eloquent American orator once said in discussing Darwin and Evolution, "Why, there are some animals so simple in structure that they see withont eyes, hear without ears, walk without feet, breathe without lungs, eat without mouths, digest without stomachs and multiply by simple division." Now, while this is mostly elocution, to be sure, this man had gotten hold of what is meant by unorganized or undifferentiated life. Now, when plants consist of hundreds and thousands of cells, and therefore have length, breadth and thickness, some of these cells must be in the interior of the plant and cut off from food supply -which must come from outside and therefore, as Strasburger says, "It is impossible, for purely physical reasons, that all the cells should bear the same relation to the outer world." Those that exist on the exterior not only must supply themselves with food, etc., but those in the interior as well, and those in the interior being relieved of this labor may take up the work of transferring food from the surface to different regious of the interior. This necessary division of labor has given rise to organs both external and internal. The result is that while the same work is done in the simpler forms, yet the quality of the work is better. It is the same in human society. That community ha.i reached the highest development whose labor is most divided. In communities like this, the physician is no longer the dentist, neither is the surgeon the barber. The jdry goods merchant does not sell sugar, nor does the grocer sell shoes. In other words, as the population of a' community increases, business must be done by more people, and hence of necessity, labor is divided. This not only improves the quality of the work but makes it possible for each person engaged in any kind of business whatever, to reach his highest efficiency. It is exactly this way when plants come to be composed of many cells instead of one. The labor must be divided and the different kinds of work given to special sets of cells. This too, improves the quality of work and makes it possible for every cell or set of cells to reach its highest efficiency just in proportion as the labor it does is all directed toward the doing of one thing. This, then, is the basis for the classification of plants and animals. The plant or animal, the labor of whose life functions has been most divided, or in whose body cell specialization has been carried farthest, stands highest in the scale of life which it represents. For this reason, we say that an oak is a higher form of plant life than a fern and a fern higher than a moss. Every one can see that a tree has two very distinct regions, that which is below the ground and that which is above. Coulter calls these the "root" and the "shoot." These two regions are very much unlike. The one works in the dark and the other in the light. The one deals with soil and water, the other with light and air. The one avoids the light, the other seeks it. The character and form of each are determined by the medium in which each does its work. The roots have two functions, or rather, there are two kinds of roots, each with a function of its own. The larger roots act as anchors, and the smaller ones as absorbing organs. Since the ground, through which roots travel, has hard and soft spots in it, the roots in following the paths of tbe least resistance become very crooked and irregular and this gives them greater ability as anchors; for, when the wind blows and sways the trees, crooked roots are harder to pull out of the ground than straight ones. The absorbing roots are very numerous t and very small. Those that absorb j by far the greatest amount of water from the ground are so small that they can only be seen when great numbers are together. They are called "root hairs" and each consists of a thin .walled tube, having no DE3.

solid center like a twig has. In pulling up any plant by the roots, one never sees these root hairs. If one has never seen the root system of a tree exposed by water or by the wind, one perhaps has no Idee, how extensive it is. The part of a tree below the ground is often more extensive than that above the ground. The shoot, or the part one usually sees above the ground, has two very distinct regions. The one consists of the stem or trunk and its subdivslons called branches, and the foliage leaves. The stem with its branches is straighter and more symmetrical than the roots because it grows in a medium with no uneven spots in it. When a stem has finished its growth for a season, th new growth will be seen to be made up of sections called joints or nodes, and internodes. This is not true of the roots. If one will take the trouble to look at a branch of a Norway Maple or Beech or any tree when the leaves are pn, one will And that the leaves are on that portion of the branch that has grown the present year, and when the leaves are shed in the Fall, thatt region of the branch will never have leaves on it again, but next year leaves will be on the portion of the branches that will grow next year. In other words, next years branches that are to bear next years leaves are not yet developed. So that one going along the street in winter can see only branches that have borne leaves, bat will never bear leaves again. If one gets up on the top of a high building and looks down on the tops

of the trees, they look like great balls of foliage; but if one takes a ladder and climbs up into the tree, one will see that the leaves are away out on the ends of the branches like a green roofover an airy chamber, os as Prof. Dennis says, "In the one case, the tree is seen as the bird sees' It; and in 4 the other, as the sqirrel sees it.w The natural development of the leaves on the last growth of the branch only, is one of the most important things to remember when trees are to be pruned.

AS ONE RAISED FROM THE DEAD bhe Refused Operation. Miracle of Science Performed by Dr. Stewart. The story of how Dr. Stewart, the expert medical specialist, has again distinguished himself and saved human life, how he has proved that the well trained brain of a skilled specialist is superior to the knife of a surgeon in fighting disease, is best told by the following letter from ' grateful patient: v 313 Queen Street, Muncie, Ind., Jan. 19, 1912. I wish the public to know that after suffering for seven years with female trouble and prolapsus and after try ing a number of our leading local doctors I went to Dr. P L. Stewart, now ot Richmond, Indiana, and -received immediate relief, and after six months' treatment I feel that I am almost entirely cured and am doing all of my own housework now and before taking his treatment could scarcely do any thing. I can highly recommend his . methods of treatment to suffering humanity and would gladly answer any letters of personal inquiry as to my case before and after taking his treatment. The records of the Dr. Stewart Co.. at 931 Main street, over the Starr Piano Co., show a constant increase in the number of cases treated. News of the success of Dr. Stewart has spread far and near and patients come quite a ways to be treated. Many are rejected as Incurable as 1 1 ID UlC JUflulllQ IUIC ML kJl . DlfW art to accept no incurable cases for treatment. But those who are accepted for treatment are well repaid for the trouble and expense of coming to him for they are sure of a success when once their case is accepted by this specialist. Examination, consultation and treatment is absolutely free, and the only charge made is for the actual medicine used. ROGERS BROS. 1847 Quadruple Knives and Forks, per Do& 2 I $3.00.
