It is remarkable that an operation involving the raising of so great a weight should bo entirely in the hands of two men. And they do it more deftly and easily than twenty men could remove a tree In the old way. The work of lifting and securing the tree in the transporter is soon done.

A cushion at the back of the wagon is arrdnrred so that 'the trie can be tilted back against it' so' that there is not the least possibility of strain on the trunk. In this way the top branches are kept out of the way of telephone and telegraph wires and similar obstructions. When the tree reaches its destination it is let gently down into the hole prepared for it. The machinery is removed without loss of any earth, and the roots are left intact. Mr.

The society has secured a description of The Animals home In San Francisco, and when the permanent home is built it will probably be modeled after this home.

Wilkins finds that with this device it is cuite practicable to move a tree at any time of the year. It is just as well to transplant the tree in the summer when it is full of life as in the winter. According to the old custom it was better to transplant in winter, when the tree was dormant. Mr. Wilkins made a special experiment with his invention recently.

Mills had retired, and the lights were out. She says she heard the sounds of a man moving below stairs and called, thinking him her husband. After that she thought she heard him jump, presumably out a window. Mr. Mills saw the man standing close to the house, but an investigation showed that he had not been on the inside.

The most natural thing in the world Is love. The most loving thing In the world Is -ature. God scarcely hides His face behind hr scented folds. Nature Is old, but the world and the pea and the sky are her wardrobes nunc full of new dresser. She has a style for every season.

Herein did Thompson portray her truly. Only beauty can interpret beauty. The breath of beauty breathes across the leaves of this book as summer's breath breathes through the leaves of forests and fields. When one looks on beautv two feelings possess the heart; one that must be told, the ether that it never can be. No man interprets Nature who leaves out her spirit.

And what is Nature's spirit? Is not Nature's one with God's? If not. then who shall say what Nature's spirit is? You can no more get at the meaning of Nature without knowing her spirit than you can get at the of a man without knowing him. Tou may take CHEWING GUM. Most of It Now. Manufactured Comes From a Tree in the Tropics.

Cleveland claims to be the headquarters of gum chewing and chewing gum. It is asserted that more gum is manufactured and consumed in that city than in any differences in population not beir-r considered, and the two irreatest manufacturers of chewing gum are numbered among its merchant princes. They find it difficult to spend their inoomes. But Chicago, says the Record-Herald, can claim the second place, and the best judges estimate that our people use about a ton of gum a day that Is, 2,000 boxes containing 200,000 pieces, and costing $2,003. That, however, is a very small expenditure for the amount of pleasure and good that is derived from the habit: for, while gum chewing may not be refined or elegant, it is considered very healthful for the same reason that a cow chews her cud.

as I believe the elephant and hippopotamus do also. It aids digestion, prevents dyspepsia, cures insomnia, concentrates the mind and promotes meditation. Being the headquarters of the chewing gum trust, Chicago has become the great distributing point. ard handles about half of the entire product of the combination, which is annually about 8,400,000 boxes of HA pieces each, or a total of S40 million pieces of gum, which, at 1 cent per stick, represents a payment of 8 million dollars for the gum to the trust alone for a total of about 4.000 tons. A lightning calculator or any other mathematical sharp might use these figures as the basis, of some stock of the new ZON-O-PHONES, EDISON and COLUMBIA Machines, and the largest stock of Records in the city.

The special officers of the society, Kil-niours and Thomas King, were taken1 into the society as honorary members, in appreciation of the services they have rendered. Yesterday a ktter was received to the society from a person who lives on Fillmore street complaining that many drivers, when they reached that portion of town, compelled their teams to trot with heavy loads, and the horses seemed distressed. The letter was signed "A Friend of the Dumb Beast."

Wilkins of Indianapolis. Heretofore the transplanting of grown trees has been slow and difficult. The result was generally uncertain. Sometimes the tree transplanted flourished sometimes It died. One difficulty in the past has been the risk of injuring the bark, which is the tenderest part of the tree.

Mr. Wilkins saw this danger and he has avoided It. He has made his device in basket shape and in various sizes to suit-various trees.
