! KING OF URBAN TREES.
0 --
Qualities That Adopt the Elm to Ar
chitectural Surroundings.
Tlie elm.is essentially a self sufficient
tree. It does uot thrive in groves It
has a standard type of its oxyti, and It
either attains this type or is lost to
view. The eim which comes to nia
turlty Is usually the one which bus
lodged in a fnvored spot where there
is no coinjictitliiii. such as u river
meadow, where the spring freshets
have dropped the seed on fertile soil
and the roots can get down to water.
We all know the type, the noble trunk
of massive girth tapering very grad
ually upward to the first spring of
branches and then dissolving into those
branches as a water jet might dissolve
In ifaaiiy upward and out curving
streams till the whole Is lost In the
spray of the foliage. Like many other
trees that grow alone. It develops an
exquisite symmetry. Rut with the elm
this symmetry Is not only one of gen
eral contour. Imt of Individual limbs
Not only is the silhouette symmetrical,
but the skeleton also, branch balanc
ing branch.
That Is what gives it its remarkable
fitness to comport with architectural
lines, with geometrically designed vis
tas. it has a formal structure and a
consequent dignity which make It the
logical shade for a village street, a
chapel, a library, the scholarly proces
sion in cap and gown. Add to that dig
nity its arched and airy lightness and
its splendid size and .vou have the king
of urban trees.—Waiter Prichard Ea
ton in Century.
A LUCKY STONE.
Maybe the Part It Played Wae Merely
That ef Coincidence.
In his hook. "The Magic of Jewels
and Charms," George P. Kunz relates
this little story of a lucky stone and
the adventures of its owners;
“Some years ago a meteorite was
given to Edward Heron Allen, the fa
moils writer on palmistry and the vio
lin. and this gifted man always wore il
about him. One morning he awakened
to find that the entire roof above him
had fallen in. except Just that portion
over his bed.
"He told the story to one of the best
known ladles In Boston, one who Is
known for her public spirit, her love of
art and her faultless manner of enter
mining. This lady successfully urged
Allen to give her the meteorite.
"A few days later, while out driving,
a great truck with two runaway horses
attached lo it struck her carriage. In
stiuctively she raised ber muff to pro
tect her face. The muff was almost
cut In two, but the lady was not burt
A few days later, while she was walk
Ing under some scaffolding, it fell, and
the open part where the hoists went
up proved to be Just where she stood
Although surrounded by ruin, she re
maiued,unbanned.”
Whether the stone w^» a factor in
averting disaster to its owners in their
moments of peril Is. however, a matter
apart from the facts in the case.
How te Quit 8moking.
Do not light the first cigar less than
half an hour after breakfast. The more
difficult this delay may be the more
need there Is for a cure. The remain
der of the day smoke the same as
usual. It is only the first cigar with
which we are dealing. Keep this up
for a week, then lengthen the Interval
to an hour for another week, then
make it one and a half hours, two.
two and n half, and so on. If you
have an "all gone” sensation, a long
ing for something, eat an orange or
apple or almost any kind of fruit, but
don't smoke until the time Is up. The
nerves, being deprived of their morning
stimulant, are crying for nourishment,
which nature! is hastening to supply
through increased appetite to supply
digestion. By the time the first cigar
iB entirety eliminated the cure is ef
feefed with uo serious derangement of
the heart or digestive apparatus.—Ex
