How Long a Tree Lives.
Inquiry as to the general age of
trees being put to an authority of
the forestry service at Washington,
it was said that the pine tree attain
ed 700 year-; as a maximum length
of life. Four hundred and twenty
five years was the allotted span of
the silver fir. The larch lived 275
years, the red beech 215, the aspen
210, the birch 200, the ash 170, the
elder 115 and the elm 130. The
heart of the oak begins to rot at
about the ago of 300 years. Os the
holly it is said that there is a speci
men 410 years old near Aschaffen

Work of the Rivers.
The annual rainfall on all the
land surface of the globe amounts
to 29,000 cubic miles. Only one
fifth of this, or 6,500 cubic miles,
drains off through rivers. The rest
is absorbed and evaporated. But
each cubic mile of river water car
ries in solution on an average 762,-
000 tons of dissolved foreign mat
ter. By all the rivers 5,000,000,000
tons of solid substance is thus car
ried annually to the sea. Suspend
ed sediments, or silt, the enormous
mechanical load of streams, are not
included in these figures. Only the
dissolved matter is considered, rep
resenting the chemical work on
rock ana soil which the percolating
waters have accomplished. The
Mississippi carries past New Or
leans each year 93,369,000 tons of
dissolved salts, the product of chem
ical erosion. Minneapolis Tribune.
You Lose Weight During the Night.
Don’t rush off at once to the doc
tor if you find that during your
sleep you have lost nearly four
pounds. And don’t get worried if
you find that a brisk walk has in
volved a similar loss. Scientific in
vestigation shows that the healthy
human being is Iosin;: and gaining
weight through the whole twenty
four hours. You are lightest just
before breakfast, but one hour later j
you may have rained twenty-eight
ounces, while, after losing and gain
ing off and on during the day, a
good dinner in the evening will add
no less than thirty four minces to |
your avoirdupois. The biggest drop
takes place while man is in the
arms of Morpheus, the average lose
being three and a half pounds.— ; 1

HIS WIFE’S CHOICE.
The Worried Man, the Wall Paper and
the Comment of the Clerk.
With an apologetic air the wor
ried man, who had been gazing in
the decorator’s windows, finally en
tered and asked to see samples of
wall paper.
“About what price?” asked the
clerk.
“Fifty cents a roll,” said the man.;
“My wife won’t pay any more.”
“Well,” said the clerk, taking
down a roll, “here is something in
light colors that”—
“Oh, no; that won’t do. My wife
says the children get light colored
paper soiled too quickly.”
“Here is something in a darker
shade with”—
“That won’t do at all. My wife
wouldn’t like that because it makes
the room too dark.”
“Here is a design in a medium
tone” —
“I’m afraid not,” said the man
nervously. “That has a small fig
ure, and my wife says small figures
are always monotonous.”
“Then how about this?” asked
the clerk wearily, “with the big
roses in it and the” —
“I’m sure that wouldn’t suit my
wife,” was the answer. “She thinks
the room is too small for large fig
ures.”
“We have a very pretty pattern
done in a conventionalized” —
“Oh, please' don’t say that!”
begged the man. “My wife told me
particularly not to get anything of
that kind. She thinks they are too
dead looking.”
“In that case,” said the clerk des
perately, “we have the very thing
—medium background, with small
flowers sprinkled on it in neutral
colors, altogether a very”—
“I’m afraid that is hardly it,”
said the man, looking more worried
than ever. “My wife says flowers
on wall paper never look like any
thing but smudges.”
“Say,” said the clerk, rolling up
his stock, “you don’t want wall pa
per. You want a divorce.” —New
York Herald.
Picking ’Em by Their Tunes.
“Employers have their own ideas
about the sort of man that will fit
into a certain job,” said the man
ager of a local employment bureau.
“Not many days ago I sent an able
bodied, capable looking young man
around to the office of a big con
tractor who had a position he want
ed filled. I thought I had found
just the man for him. But the
young man came back here disap
pointed and said he didn’t get the
job for some reason—he couldn’t
figure out why. I called up the con
tractor, and he explained how it
was. ‘The fellow kept whistling a
lot of tunes such as “Auld Lang
Syne” and “The Suwanee River”
while he was waiting to see me,’
said the contractor, ‘and I decided '
that he wouldn’t do before I even ,
saw him. He must be a slow mov
ing, slow thinking man or he would
whistle livelier tunes. Send me
around a man who likes to whistle
“A Hot Time” or “Hiawatha” and
I’ll take him.’ ” —Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
Origin of the Menu.
Os the origin of the menu this
story is told: Duke Henry of Bruns
wick when sitting at a sumptuous 1
feast was noticed to glance fre- ,
quently at a long slip of paper.
Questioned by his neighbor, the
Count of Montfort, as to the reason ,
of his table studies, he replied that
the “master of the kitchen” had
drawn up for his and his stomach’s
benefit a list of all the dishes, just
to enable his master to reserve his
appetite for the best things to come. '
The other guests were so well ,
pleased with the intelligent cook’s .
invention that the habit of writing
out bills of fare instantly spread in
Germany. The dinner whence the
custom began is said to have taken
place at Regensburg in 1541.
Mahogany,
Mahogany wood was first import
ed by England in 1724, although in
1597 Sir Walter Raleigh demon
strated the great value of this wood,
which was used in repairing his
ships at Trinidad. From 1724 un-|
til the discovery of the mahogany |
forests of Africa by Stanley Eng
land and continental Europe were|
heavy purchasers of mahogany j
from the West Indies, Honduras |
and Mexico. A great part of the I
mahogany used in this country in 1
early years came from Europe, it ■
having first reached there from the
West Indies, Mexico and Honduras.:

YOUR PULSE.
Some Facts About the Interesting Lit
tle Health Indicator.
The Brooklyn woman who was
recently reported to have fled at
midnight into the street, crying out
that she was dying, and all because
her pulse was beating a little more
rapidly than usual, may be said to
suffer from ignorance regarding the
pulse, which is common enough.
Here are a few facts concerning the
interesting little indicator in ques
tion which it is well all should be
come acquainted with:
A regular and steady pulse which
is not easily put out of measure by
pressure always indicates a healthy
condition of the system. If, how
ever, there is an intermittent beat
ing of the pulse it is an indication
that the heart’s action is faulty.
You need not, however, take alarm,
since there is no portion of the
body, no matter how vital, which
does not get out of order many
times in the year. If the pulse is
beating very rapidly the nervous
system is out of order. When fe
ver is present the action is rapid
and very full, and there is evident
distention of the vein.
If you are a healthy person in
the prime of life your pulse will
move at the rate of seventy-two
beats to the minute, though the
number will vary according to the
hour of the day. Do not think,
however, that you are more vigor
ous than others because your pulse
beats at the rate of 80 or 90 to the
minute. One whose pulse beats at
the rate of only 40 or 45 is as like
ly to be quite as vigorous. Artists,
declares Ribot, a French physician,
as a rule, have a normal pulse action
of 78 to 84; mathematicians, from
60 to 70; laborers, from 65 to 68.
The French Dr. Quetelet has
drawn up a table showing the ac
tion of the pulse at different stages
of life. At birth the little indi
cator gallops along at the rate of
136 to the minute; at five years, at
the rate of 88; from ten to fifteen,
at a rate of 78. Here a drop oc
curs, and between fifteen and twen
ty there is a fall to 69. Between
twenty-five and thirty the rate is
71; between thirty and fifty, about
70. During recent years the exact,
state of any given heart has been
gaugeable, owing to the invention
known as the sphygmograph, which
registers the action of the pulse and
so tells the truth about the heart.
Any doctor can tell you whether
your heart is weak or strong and,
without a doubt, whether a sudden
death is likely to be your portion. —
