Tbe typress knee la a familiar ob )ect in all tbe lowland forests of ths South, but there are thousands of Northern people who have never seen them, and there, are many Southern people, too. who have not seen them till they stumbled over them some dark night. The knee la of solid wood, has no limbs or leaves. Is anywhere from ( Inches to t feat In height, and Its rounded top and Battened sides give It very much the shape of a human leg bent at the knee Ull thigh anl ealf are brought together; hence the appropriate name or "knee." For a number of years I was curi ous as to what part the knees played In tbe life of the cypress tree, writes a correspondent of Forest and Stream, for they are part of Its sys tem and do not grow Independently. They wore not sprouts, trying to grow Into trees, for they never de veloped branches; and the final con clusion was that their only ua waa (or people to stumble over. How and why such useless appendages to the tree were formed was a mystery until one day, when drifting down a deep channel which had' been washed through a cypress swamp, the secret was exposed. The earth had been washed away from the roots of some of ths trees, and roots la all stages of growth were In sight None of these roots waa less than Itt Inches thick and of uniform slie clear to their tips, or rather clear to their blunt ends, for there was ao tip. Nature intended these roots to grow In soft mud. and they were all right for that purpose, but when the blunt end of a root encountered something too hard to push throngs least resistance, and this was gener ally toward the top of the ground, it bent or buckled In the line of and the contiuuing growth of the root pushing the bend further .up ward made the bend closer, until Anally the two arms of the bend were close together and they grew together, with one sheet of bark en closing both.

Doty, United States Consul at Tabrix, furnishes some Interesting facts on the extent to which chemical dyeatuffs are supplanting those of vegetable origin In Persia.' "The large carpet Importing houses,' he writes, "have done their utmost to guard against coal tar prep arations, and presumably most of their Oriental rugs are about what they are represented to be. Naturally, ths price of such rugs is above that of the products In which chemical dyes are employed. In Persia there are soma well established rug ex porting Brms that loudly cry, "Back to the vegetable dyes." It ta to them the credit Is given that a royal edict was Issued more than eight years ago forbidding the Introduction of aniline coloring material. This law, however, la not enforced. Faith and Works. . The author of "Seventy Tear Young," Mrs. Emily P. Bishop, it Clares that It Is as easy to do aa t wish to do, and quotes this Incident 1 Illustration, says an exchange. A little girl's brother set a trap ' . catch birds. She knew it was wroi. cruel, against the laws of kind a altogether Inexcusable from tor r-o.r. of view. She wept at first; then a little lwe. her mother noticed that she had be come cheerful once more, and inquired as to ths cause. "What did you do?" asked the mother. "I prayed for my brother to be made a better boy." "What else?" "I prayed that the trap would not catch any little birds." "What else?" "Then I went out and kicked the eld trap all to pieces."

The Japanese, who know so well how to add little, unexpected attrac tions to everyday life, manufacture, in a great variety ot forms. Iron teaket tles which break Into song when the wcter boils. The song may not be veiy perfect melody, but It Is perhaps S3 agreoubio as the notes produced by sorse of tlio insects which the Japan ess t'.so treasure for their music. Tho harmonious rounds of the teaket tles are produced by steam bubbles eenplng from beneath thin sheets of Iron fastened close together, nearly at the bottom of tho kettles.
