Bird of this county, is ex perimenting with 1000 young catal pa trees which he is planting on his farm in Forks where the timber was recently removed. There are four species of the catalpa. They are natives of the West Indies, North America, Japan and China. They grow very rapidly. The wood is remarkably light of a greyish-white color, and fine in texture. It is capable of receiving a brilliant polish and when seasoned is very durable. It has been introduced into Europe and is cultivated in Germany, France and South England. Cottage Given for Tuberculous Poor. As an expression of her interest in the state's work for the tuber culous poor, Mrs. R. F. Jones, widow of the Pittsburg steel manu facturer, lias offered Health Com missioner Dixon her magnificent cottage and grounds at Cresson. It lies close by the tract of land given the Commonwealth by Andrew Carnegie for its Western Sanator ium for tuberculosis. The cottage which is said to have originally cost about SIB,OOO, is large enough to accommodate at least 20 tuberculous patients and no time will be lost in getting it ready for such occupancy. As the cottage is in good repair this will not take long so that the Itenefits of the high altitude and healthy climate of Cresson will soon lie en joyed by a number of poor suf ferers. In the meantime the San atorium buildings on the Carnegie tract will be rapidly pushed for ward. The lot on which the 2 1-2 story Jones' cottage stands is ultout 100 ft. front and 150 ft. deep. There are in all thirteen bed-rooms in the building, most of them large and comfortable, with big l>ay-windows into which the sun may pour its healing rays. Wide porches almost surround the cottage. Here the patients may sit in their rest; chairs enjoying the pure mountain air and having a view of a surrounding county whose scenic beauty is un surpassed. Mrs. Jones' gift to the Common wealth, like that of Mr. Carnegie, is particularly gratifying in that it shows the complete confidence that exists in the State's campaign against tuberculosis.

The friends of the lady will l>e pleased to hear that she is improving. Apparently some people are go ing to make financial gain out of the comet. Such seems to be the intent of the clergyman who urges unmarried people to get married at once, because, so he says, the comet's tail is going to sweep every body off the face of the earth some time in May. The strange thing alxnit it is that many people believe him and are following his advice: which goes to show that not only is superstition not dead, but that some people seem to be afraid togo alone into the hearafter. But the thought occurs, has anyone a moral right, especially when the motive is selfish, to scare others out of their wits by alarmist prophecies about a harm less comet? Importance of Proper Breathing. Improper breathing Is a frequent cause of consumption. A large major ity of people are too lazy or too igno rant to breathe deep, and hence the lungs are developed only to part of their capacity and thus afford fertile field for the growth of the tuberculosis germ.

He should make a schedule of last year's sales, by days, weeks and months, and enter against it - . - each day's sales for this year, as they are ascertained. ft|jrj <— If he sees on Tuesday that T !

Don't say that you will When you get sickyou don't dicker with r , . , ; , , r , the doctor." use three inches double for the year, but make up your mind to-beat last year's business, if you have to use twenty inches double.

It costs something, of e course, but it cannot be helped. It doesn't do any good to grumble about it. The question is whether you want to get well or not. That's the way business and advertising should be considered. Don't understand that I mean to advocate unlimited and promiscuous advertising—l do not, any more than I would advise you to fill yourself up with a lot of medicine when you don't need it. Judicious advertising may mean two inches or two pages. It is bad to use too much space, but it is worse to use too little. • - C»txriaht. Charles Austin Bates. Neui York.
