' The Innocent looking "canned green pea bomb" is. according to an expert chemist, "the most hellish affair inTented." It was sent to a prominent Parisian hotel keeper as a samp'e. He suspected something and sent it to the government laboratory. It wa found to contain a powerful explosive and belonged to the class called "bombe a Tenversement" that Is, a bomb the inversion of which causes instant explosion. It is fitted out with a straight or curved glass tube connecting two Tials containing the necessary acids. jA, wad of cotton separates the fluids, and this wad in some Instances serves Jn place of a time fuse. It was a bomb lof this kind which caused the terrible loss of life in the central police station of St Petersburg some time ago. Chicago Tribune. Understanding. In Its wider acceptation understanding is the power of perceiving and conceiving, exclusive of the sensibility; the power of dealing with the impressions of sense and composing them into wholes, according to a faw of unity, and In its most comprehensive meaning ft includes even simple apprehension.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. "I'm going out and commit harikiri," said the cynic. "What's the matter?" asked Sal. "They're cleaning house out my way," grinned the cynic. "I know nothing more perfectly insane," continued the latter, "than cleaning house. Take everything out of one room and put it into another, the while you transfer the contents of the pantry into the parlor and deposit your best hat on the back steps." "Being sure not to forget," interrupted Sal, "to ornament the front veranda with a choice collection of dog-eared house-hold gods for the neighbors to take joyful, if concealed stock of, through peep-holes in their blinds." "When you are assailed by the pangs of hunger you climb through a stepladder, hurdle over the flour-barrel, do a back action steeple-chase by way of the backstairs and land in the kitchen to be informed that there is nothing to eat unless you care to forage for yourself. "Or are handed out last week's scraps on an ironing-board partially supported by the baby's high-chair with the nether end tobogganning down to the sink." "In the meantime," interpolated Sal, "Bridget accidentally spills a bucket of water over your feet and in attempting to get out of the way you back into the kitchen cabinet and knock half its contents into the middle of the gas range whereon repose the left overs from the previous season's frui canning " "And you flee for your life," said the cynic. "You do an acrobatic stunt for your own upper chamber which would bring you a thousand a week in vaudeville, hurriedly don your best clothes and sally forth a much abused man recklessly in search of pleasure." "Yes," said Sal, "and jauntily turning the corner you encounter Liz, a charming vision in her new crash suit and done over hat. Liz greets you joyfully! '"Whither away?' you ask affecting extreme jocularity. " 'In search of eats,' responds the blithe and irresponsible Liz. "Then she inquires the cause of your gloom, ill-concealed by your affectation of juvenile gayety. "You state you have been driven forth into the cold world by the feminine members of your family who heartlessly cast you out to the raving wolves and that you, in desperation " 'Seek consolation?' deploys the lightsome Liz. "You look hastily around. " 'Don't talk so loud,' you whisper, 'we are so well known "Liz here deploys that if you're ashamed to be seen out with her she's 1 perfectly willing to deprive you of the benediction of her society and pretends the beginning of a sortie across the street where you disgustedly behold the Doctor viewing you with an eager, expectant expression. "Whereupon you implore Liz in what Bill Nye called a 'low tone' to take pity on your neglected condition and lunch with you at the Astoria since you are positive the Doctor is manouvering round to kidnap the delightful Liz and direct her footsteps toward some cozy retreat with a table for two on which burns a redshaded lamp." "Rise to the surface and take a long breath," said the cynic. "You take a savage pleasure," continued Sal, "in out-flanking him, knowing the doctor is possibly also seeking consolation from the horrors of his menage. So you are bowed elegantly into the Astoria and find yourself seated opposite Liz who, you observe, never looked better how's it happen you never noticed before what a beautiful sea-shell complexion she has and how the hair curls kissably about her ears "Oh, cut it, Sal," grinned the cynic, "although it is a fact "Sure," said Sal. "But she has it done in the hair parlors " "Villainous female! Leave me but one illusion but one !" "You can get it done for a whole year now for twenty-five dollars guar anteed to last for twelve months by the calendar," announced Sal. "You don't tell me!" exclaimed the cynic. "I surely do," replied Sal. "You make a deposit of the twenty-five and then have your hair curled for a long distance run." m

and "Wonders will never cease," murmured the cynic. "And so," went on Sal, "you find yourself opposite Liz gazing into her tawney eyes with the black up-curling lashes and asking her in lover-like accents if she will have a soup. "Liz would make eyes at a lamp-post so she leans across the table and softly whispers 'boullin!' " "She took tomato," interrupted the cynic. "Then," said Sal, "you laugh immoderately without remembering how well known you are, and, carelessly dangling a bit of celery fringe in your hand" "He hadn't brought in the soup," interpolated the cynic. "you lean back and glance about only to encounter the frigid gaze of your sister-in-law and your next door neighbor's wife." "You grab up the menu andhastily begin ordering the first ,tning your eye lights upon and Liz giggles delightedly." " 'They'll go home and tell your wife,' " she whispers gleefully. "'Who?' you ask with an affectation of carelessness than wouldn't deceive a gooing infant. " 'Oh I'm having such a good time I'm so glad I met you, burbled Liz. 'I j can see your finish when sister-in-law gets in her work. She never did like me. You might just as well go ahead and enjoy yourself because you'll get it in the neck anyway. I'll take porterhouse steak ' "So you wriggle in acute misery the while Liz merrily and maliciously pursues her gastonomic way from porterhouse to dessert, surreptiously touching your hidden source of financial supply and wondering if you'll have to borrow of sister-in-law before you can get out. "Cold beads of perspiration ooze from your classic forehead. You love Liz's kissable if manicured curls but you wonder what fiend directed your steps round that particular corner and and " "Tomorrow will be the thousand and oneth night, Sal, my dear " said the cynic. "The what?" asked Sal. " 'The Modern Arabian Nights or a House-Cleaning Phantasy," said the cynic. "Clever title don't you think?" "Pooh," said Sal. "I saw you through a palm." "Maybe you thought I didn't observe you and the doctor sneaking in the side entrance," retorted the cynic. "I had roast turkey and strawberries and the doctor never registered a kick. I saw him myself change a fifty dollar bill." "I noticed in the papers that Jack Smith was dead," grinned the cynic. "The doctor performed the operation didn't he." "I'd hate to be a cynic," cried Sal. "Anyway house-cleaning is the devil," said the cynic. The aftermath is very much like the quotation " 'A place for everything and not a damn thing in it.' " TAXES AND TORTURE. The Duke of Alva's "Tenth Penny" That Caused Riots In Spain. One of the most absurd and tyrannical measures of taxation that were ever imposed upon a people was that ordered by the despotic Duke of Alva, prominent in the history of Spain up to 1582, when he died. For six years he was governor general of the Netherlands and levied a tax called the "tenth penny," or 10 per cent, upon every article of merchandise, to be paid as often as it should be sold. He assessed real and personal property 1 per cent, to be paid' instantly and collected once, and on every transfer of realty he exacted 5 per cent. Every one in the land, excepting Alva himself, perceived how utterly ridiculous a scheme it would prove, but he persisted in enforcing the rule. The towns rebelled, and examples by dozens were made of refractory subjects, who were tortured to death, but to no purpose. Finally Philip II., the Spanish king, was petitioned, and a temporary compromise was effected by which the towns were to pay $2,000,000 annually for the two succeeding years, until August, 1571.

RIVER BOULEVARD MEETSJPPROVAL Project Heartily Indorsed by West Richmond Improvement Association.
It is believed that there will be little or no opposition offered by, residents of West Richmond to the construction of the Riverside boulevard, the resolution for which has been passed by the board of public works. At the meeting of the West Richmond Improvement association last evening at the Baxter school building the members of the organization againj went on record as unanimously in favor of the proposed improvement. A resolution was passed instructing the civic beauty committee of the associa- J tion to meet with the board of public works and to urge the board to make the order for the construction as soon as possible. ...The boulevard will extend from the Main street bridge to South E street. According to the improvement resolution passed by the board, the roadway will be macadamized, cement sidewalks and curbing will be constructed on the west side of the drive and a fence will be erected on the east side of the drive. The opposition against billboards throughout the city and on the West Side in particular has been dropped as far as the association is concerned as nothing can be done to secure the abolition of the boards. THE CATSKILL GNOMES. Legend of the Ugly Elves and Hendriok Hudson and His Men. In the Gatskill mountains, back of Grand Hotel station, is a large amphitheater where, Indian legend tells us, live the ugly little Catskill dwarfs with bushy beards and eyes like pigs who can do many marvelous things. They work surpassingly well in metals, and it is from their forges that in autumn comes the haze of Indian summer. But their most marvelous feat" is the brewing of a liquor which shortens the bodies and swells the heads of all who drink it. It was to their tender mercies that Hendrick Iludson and his lnen fell, having landed from the Half Moon and lost their way among tiie mountains. The gnomes held a mad carouse in their honor, capering and dancing around the amphitheater and bringing forth great flagons of their magic wine. Hudson and his men drank freely and deeply, only to become misshapen, ugly dwarfs from that time forth. Since then they have wandered around the Catskill mountains, appearing to men once in twenty years. The last time they were due to be seen was in 1900. So now they will not appear again until 1929, when any one daring enough can go up to the mountains to test for himself the truth of the legend. Alice Fbebe Eldridge in New York World. A WEAK WOMAN ANDHER STORY In Flora!, Ark., Lives a Lady Who Feels That Her Strength Was Restored by Cardui. Florgl, Ark. "I must speak a good word for Cardui," writes Mrs. Viola Baker, of this place. "About a month ago I was in very bad health. I was so weak and nervous that I was not able to do my housework. "My husband bought me one bottle of Cardui, the woman's tonic. 1 took it according to directions and now 1 am in good health. " I think Cardui is a fine tonic for weak women." And you are not the only lady who thinks so, Mrs. Baker. Thousands, like you, have written to tell of the wonderful benefit Cardui has been to them. Cardui contains no minerals, or other powerful drugs. It contains no glycerin or other mawkish-tasting ingredients. It is just a pure, natural extract, of natural vegetable herbs, that have been found to regulate the womanly functions and strengthen the female system. All druggists sell Cardui. See yours about it.

MIDSUMMER PROPER
In April and May When the Sap Is Flowing the Trees "Bleed" too Much and Can't Take Paint. BY JOHN F. THQMPSON. The best time to trim" trees is from about mid-summer untillate in the fall, or after their period of annual growth. Most deciduous trees have finished their growth- both in height and diameter in July. Early In March is also a good time for this work. In April and May when the sap inflowing freely the fresh wounds 'bleed so much that it is impossible to paint them because the paint will not stick. Whenever a fresh wound is made on a tree at any time of the year. It should be covered with some kind of antiseptic to keep out fungus spores which are being blown abou by the wind. These fresh wet wounds are admirable places for disease germs to lodge in for they not only furnish a place for them in which to grow, but food as well. Every tree is covered completely with an epidermis, not only the trunk and branches, but the leaves also; this is a protection against all sorts of tree diseases and it is pretty safe to say that iw this epidermis remains intact or is kept so, that a tre will never become diseased and hence if it. becomes necessary to break this epidermis or if it is accidentally broken, if a false one is put over the wound until a new one is formed the tree will be able to resist all attacks of fungus disease. There are a good many ways in which the epidermis of city trees may be broken. One of the cruelest and most unnecessary ways is for a man to climb the tree with climbers on his feet. Great holes are punched in the tree's trunk, every one of which becomes a point of attack for disease germs. If a tree is a living thing it is a waste of words to say that this does not do it damage. But is is necessary to break the epidermis sometimes as in the case of pruning. WThen trees grow apart from each other the lower limbs do not die as they do in the forest and hence some of them must be removed from street trees. In some cities tar is used to cover fresh wounds, but lead paint is Just as good and it is more convenient, and besides one may get paint that is of the same color as the tree and when covered with it the wounds are not conspicuous.. There are two things at least that one must know before he becomes a tree trimmer and the first is, how a limb should be cut off, and second, what one should be removed. To cut the top off a tree is not trimming it. The best place to cut the top off a tree is close to the ground. A tree should be improved by trimming it, not destroyed. Large limbs over two inches in di ameter should be removed wit a a saw, and should be done with three cuts: The first one should be made on the under side of the limb about 'J'!1 'J1 'X' 't' '!'

eight inches from the origin. This cut should be 'about one-third of the way up through the limb, the second cut should be made on the upper side about four Inches from the origin of the limb. Before the second cut is done the limb will by its own weight, come off with a clean snap; there will then remain a short stump which should be sawed off close to the trunk or the main limb and parallel with it. This will make a larger wound than if it were not cut so close, but it will heal more quickly and there will not be an unsightly lump on the tree to spoil the beauty of the diameter. I know where there are trees with large lumps on the trung, like spavins on a horse, that have been produced by not cutting limbs close enough. It is all wrong to cut a limb off by sawing from the upper side only, because before the cut is done the limb falls and strips away with it a long piece of bark, which makes an unnecessary wound. A good rule to follow in cutiing limbs off is this: Never cut a branch in such a way as to leave a stump, because there is nothing to feed it and it is sure to die sooner or later and decay, leaving a hole- or a rotten spot. r, 1 think It is a popular notion that the food ofNa tree comes from, the ground and v flows upward from the roots to the branches and leaves. However natural this supposition may be it is not true. In another article it was shown that the food of a free is manufactured in the leaves, so that food flows downward from the leaves to the branches and trunk or to wherever food may be in demand, so that if a branch is cut off leaving a stump We Give Aivay Free

But if it 1st cut close, the wound Ilea directly lathe path of the descending current of 1 food in the branch .from which it vu cut and the wound is thus readily heal- $ ed.

Every one knows that If a branch is cut leaving a stump there will be a lot of sprouts come out around the wound, grow rapidly and produce a new crop of leaves. ; The tree has a kind of dumb knowledge. that it cannot get anything from . below the wound to heal it, so It tries to put out some new leaves to make food to heal the wound or in other words the-tree is trying to put back what was cut away. To find the place where a branch may be cut off thla is' the rulec Follow the brach back to its origin and cut it off close. This is not the time of year to remove living branches but it is a good time to remove dead ones because one can tell where they are since they have no leaves. There is nothing that would more improve the appearance of our trees immediately than to have all the dead branches cut out of the trees. There are wagon load of dead wood in our living trees and this dead stuff is not only unsightly but it should be removed for the good of the trees. These dead limbs ought to be cut clear back to the live wood and the wounds painted. This would not only improve the appearance of the trees but would give them a longer lease on life.
