One Tree Cut In 1900 Wee Nearly
Fourteen Centuriea Old.
The biggest stands of redwood tim
ber nre In Del Norte. Hut^holdt anti
Mendocino counties. Cal., bfft there are
Isolated groups us fur north ns the
Cketco river In Curry coiity v, Ore., and
as far south as the Santa Lucia moun
tains. Monterey county. The redwood
belt Is from twenty to forty miles wide,
the trees growing on the west slopeB ot
the coust range.
The enormous height and diameter of
the redwood Is due to the great rain
fall In the autumn and winter, from
thirty to sixty Inches, nnd to the sea
fogs which bathe the coast In the sum
mer. There ore two types of the red
wood. those which grow ou the slopes
nnd those on the flats or bottom lands.
The slope redwood Is the common type,
and It grows mixed with other woods,
such ns red Or, tan bark oak and white
flr. As the slopes become moderate,
the nltitude lower, the sd^l deeper nnd
the water supply better tbe redwood
steadily gains on tbe other species un
til on the rich Hats there Is no other
tree.
The extreme form of the redwood
flat Is along the Eel river, nnd here the
trees attain their greatest known
height and clear length. Under best
conditions these trees grow to be 850
feet high, with a diameter of twenty
feet Most of tlie redwoods cnt are
from 400 to 800 years old. nnd the old
est tree found during the government
investigation In 1000 was 1,373 years
old.
The tree when normal has a straight
slightly tapered bole clear for more
than 100 feet and a crown of horizon
tal branches that may occupy from
one-third to one-half of Its total length.
The enemies of redwood nre few, and
It suffers from them less thnn other
trees. The wind cnn scarcely uproot It.
Insects seem to do It little harm, nnd
fungi seldom affects It Even (ire, the
great enemy of all trees, though It may
occasionally kill wbole stnnds of young
redwood growth, Is unable to pene
trate the fireproof sheathing of shaggy
bark with which the old trees protect
themselves.
Heroic Conclusion.
The Swede knew that he was Incom
petent but he needed the job very imd-
Jy Indeed. The farmer saw at a glance
that, be was u green band, but he was
urgently In need of help. So an ar
rangement was made. After dinner
the farmer sent his new hand down to
plow a Held and a few moments later
followed nlm. Peering from the con
cealment of a clump of tilshes, Ue ob
served for some time the frantic hut
futile efforts of his hand to run a
Btrulght furrow. Finally the Swede
came to a discouraged halt mopped
hl9 brow and addressed the horses
wearily.
“Oh. well. then, go wherever you
please!" he said. “It all ban got to bo
plowed anyway."—Everybody's.

They Keep the Keys.
Visitors to Tangier and other settle

are carefully kept in safety in the
bouses of some of the families of an
cient descent These keys belong to
the bouses In Spain once occupied by
the Moors before their expulsion from
their homes many centuries ago. The
Spaniards occupy these old houses, but

Method of Supplying Food to Troop*
on the Battlefield.
How mi army lu the Held gets Its
food from day to day Is told in the
Scientific American, from which the
following eimicla are taken;
The supply train of an infantry divi
sion curries two days' Held and grain
rations In the lute uflerlniou or at
the eml of a march or close ot a com
bat the division commander directs the
Held trains to move up Immediately lu
the rear of the troops nnd informs tile
commanding officers of organizations
that one day’s rations Have heeu or
dered to u designated place. An order
ly Is sent to that place to conduct the
wagons to the organization. After be
ing unloaded they return Immediately
and join (lie grouped portion of the rn-
ilim section That same night or early
the following morning the empty wag
ons are retillcd from the supply train,
and tills latter secures u renewal of Its
supplies from a designated point ou the
line of communications or Is reloaded
from a train pertaining to the line ot
cotnmuideiitioiis If the distance from
the end of that line of tbe zone occu
pied by tbe troops Is so greut us to
warrant the use of a train.
There are two methods of supplying
an army In tbe Held:
First.—By consignments of supplies
forwarded by tbe service of tile line of
communications and distributed ns
above Indicated.
Second—By utilizing the resources
of me country.
It Is generally necessary to utilize to
the fullest extent the food, especially
llie forage, available In the theater ot
operations lu former times the tu
vailer possessed the right of booty and
pillage. Hie result to which was most
unfoctunte tor the army, as It embit
tered the population and compromised
the safety of the troops in an enemy's
country, and In the event id any real
or Imagined Injury living done them It
gave rise tu redress and reprisals.
GOOD NATURAL TEETH.
What They Mean to the Man Over
Fifty Years of Age.
"Few factors conduce to Jolly age as
docs pride in personal appearance,’’
writes Hr John Philip Erwin of Per-
Itasle. I'll.. In Oral Hygiene. "A well
groomed person never grows old. Es
pecially essential arc well cured for
teeth At no lime In life are teeth
mur- valuable than when m man has
passed lifty They double lu worth
every year after the half century year
stone lias been reached.
"It Is a sad fact,” lie continues, "that
all the dental parlors and powers,
past, present and to come, combined
and concenirulod. cannot restore the
normal form of a ffice destroyed by
extraction It Is a blessed truth that
modern dentistry can prevent this ca-
la mlty
"But the greatest blessing of natural
teeth in declining years Is derived
from the assistance they give to the
boiler of the body, the stomach,
throughout that period when digestion
Is on the wane. In youth the stomach
stood for beer, Dutch lunches, rabbits
and lodge banquets. It seldom kicked
back Not so in maturity. The teeth
must now arbitrate many health ques
tions. When the disgruntled stomach
Is tnndemed with dental detlclency the
remaining members of the ulimentary
canal Join In a rebellion ugulnst food
oppression which culminates In a rev
olution that proves a revelntlon to the
victim. Dyspepsia may be conquered
In youth, but never In age. The most
pessimistic stomach, coupled with
dental efficiency, will develop a fair
degree of optimism, possibly a con
tinuous life of sunshine.
"Good teeth at fifty proclaim family
character, conserve facial contour and
Insure food comfort”

mother at a Boston restaurant when
he saw the cook’s boy In cup nnd
apron coming nlong the aisle between
tlie tables, wheeling a wagon on which
were meats from which the guests
might choose their piece de resistance
of the meal. The child looked ut the
wagon In a puzzled way. Then he
turned his bend and asked:
“Mamma. Is that what they mean
by a la carte?”—Boston Traveler.
A Sensitive Soul.
The good wife of an estimable
Frenchman was awakened by her bus-

“Oh, my dear,” he said, rubbing his
eyes. “I dreamed that you were dead."
“Ha!" she said bitterly and turned
away from him. “Great griefs are
mute.”

Driving Elephant* to Their Death In
the Dry Season In Africa.
In the heart of the African elephant
country, from which comes tlie bulk
of the world’s Ivory supply, 1 once saw
the destruction of these huge beasts
performed in a novel yet barbarous
manner. It was n process that played
upon tile fear all animals have for lire
When the Xlum-NInm hunters—whose
name, by the way, means “great eat
ers"-discover a herd of elephants they
set out ami beat tile country for miles
around, throwing a cordon about the
herd nnd gradually closing m. Al
though the hunters nre armed with
old muzzle loading elephant rllles nnd
carry a plentiful supply of ammuni
tion. they always use the lire trap ilur
lng the dry season.
As the herd Is grndnally driven to
gether by the hundreds of limiters
torches are passed around by the wom
en and at a shrill blast from the war
horns they are lighted. Another blast
from the horns Is the signal for the
torches to he applied to the tall, dry
gross, nnd n writhing sea of flame soon
encircles the doomed herd. Half a
mile In diameter is not un uncommon
measure of the Hre trap.
Roaring and crackling like volleys of
musketry, the Haines leap up and tend
to burn Inward upon the circle, nnd the
poor elephants, who dure not fuce the
Haines, die from suffocation.
Then, when the lire has burned Itself
out. the Nlnm-Ntiim enter the trap ot
death, gorge themselves upon elephant
meat and collect the Ivory, which they
benr to the trading stations. In ex
change for their booty they receive the
trinkets and gnyly colored cloths that
delight tlielr hearts and after n time
start once more off on the never ending
Ivory hunt- — Cincinnati Commercial

DOES HEREDITY EXIST?
If It Doe* It Has Never Been Proved.
It Is Claimed.
Is there such a tiling ns heredity?
A father lias blue eyes, and so lias Ills
sou. Is there a special energy or force
that did this? Suppose bis son lias
brown eyes. Did heredity stop acting?
Was It. so to speak, turned off? That
Is absurd. The forces which caused
the boy's eyes In one case to be like
tlie father's nnd In the next case un
like were the same. No one doubts
that. No new force or energy bad
been Introduced.
Heredity, therefore. Is not n tiling
In Itself. It has no existence, in fact
It denotes no oonstnnt nctunl living
force. It Is simply u noun derived
from the adjective hereditary. Hered
itary means banded down from parent
to child, simply tlmt and nothing more.
An estate Is hereditary. The brown
eyes were as truly hereditary as the
blue, no more, no less. As all life
proceeds from life, all life In every
detail Is hereditary Try to realize
and be certain of this. It will prevent
you from falling Into errors It Is
commonly said, for Instance, that i-er
tain qualities are hereditary and otli
era not For tnsmnee. ii genius sml
dcnly appearing of commonplace pro
genltors Is said not to lie hereditary
But a genius Is born, so lit* must be
hereditary In tho true sense; genius Is
not neqillred.
Thus In common usage the word he
redltury Is abused initl twisted Into
meaning something It does mil iiiciiii-
namcly. a tendency In children to re
produce the more or less unusual quail
ties of parents. It Is assumed that
there Is such a general tendency, but
it bus never been proved.—Atlantic.
Describing the Grand Canyon.
As for the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado. It affects those who behold
It with a kind or literary asthma.
They desire to describe It; some try
passionately, but they only wheeze und
look ns though they might explode.
Since It Is generally admitted that no
one who has seen It can describe It the
task would manifestly devolve upon
some one who has not seen It and
that requirement Is filled by me. 1
have not seen It- I am not Impressed
by it at all. I am nble to speak of it
with coherence and restraint But
even that I shall not do—Juliun Street

It Ha* to Do With tha War Between
Rusain and Japan.
In Aubrey Stanhope's hook of recol
lections ns a special correspondent,

a curious Klory relating to the war
between Russia and Japan and helps
us tu tihilei'Htnud the value of diplo
matic assurances and the sources from
which enutompurury history !b writ

“1 remember once, being nt that time
correspondent In Petersburg and being

Nlshl, the Japanese minister, and one
day after I had communicated to that
diplomat some news of speclnl Inter

"My astonishment was Immcnsa
‘What. 1 said, 'Japan make war on
Russia!’
'"Yes,' he replied. 'Inevitably. And
you will see that when It tnkes plneo

Crystal Humidors Full of Famous
Pipe Tobacco In Great Demand
Here.
The prominence given to tobacco in
the great conflict in Europe, ub the one
joy for millions of men; the countless
Christmas presents of tobacco being
sent to the soldiers of all nations by
their families and friends at. home, have
made Christmas gifts of tobacco more
popular than ever before. The war
has shown thousands of people that
tobacco is the one thing a man prizes
above everything else, and if he can
enjoy it amid the rigors of life in the
trenches, it will give him much greater
enjoyment before his peace!ul hearth
on Christmas morning.
Local dealers say that a very popular
tobacco for Christmas giving is Tuxedo,
because of the handsome appearance of
the Tuxedo Crystal Glass Humidor,
with its Christmas card attached by a
red ribbon bow, ail ready for sending
to friend or placing near the Christmas
tree for father, brother, huBband or
sc-in. ThiB Tuxedo Humidor iB the most
beautiful ever designed and a most
practical humidor, as well as keeping its
pound of Tuxedo tobacco in fresh, per
fect condition. People naturally choose
Tuxedo because bo many famous men
smoke this tobacco and have publicly
indorsed it. Great singers like Caruso
indorse Tuxedo because it is a really
ini Id tobacco that does not sting their
throats. Popular idols like Harry
Lauder indorse Tuxedo because it
keeps them cheerful and happy—and
that iB the ideal mission of a Christmas
gift.
Tobacco dealers are pleased over the
large number of ladieB who are coming
to their stores this year to buy Tuxedo
jars to give themenfolks for Christmas.
Ladies have learned that they are sure
of courteous attention at all tobacco
shopsand (heir patronage is appreciated.
Sick Headache.
Sick headache ih nearly always caused

lasted for two or three days at a time.

dies, hut nothing helped me until during
one of those sick spellHii friend advised
me to take Chamberlain's Tablets.
