W. Van Liew, America. -Perry Walton, In "The Story of Textiles." -.Perhaps the most curious part of the bus'inees is what may be called tree dentistry, This applies to the Riling of old cavities and the covering of the wounds caused by a crack or the cora- M011. operation of "bracing" a tree with iron bands. A tree that has any part of its in- terior exposed to the atmsophere is In the sante situation ae a tooth having a hole_ through which, impurities. can penetrate to the soft living tissue and cause decay. In the case of- the tooth the remedy lies in excluding agents of decay by means of an appropriate fill- ing; with the tree, the tree surgeon fills all covities that constitute ex- posures.—with concrete! The tree sprgeon further Imitates the dentist in ridding the cavity of all decayed matter before he puts in his plug, He cuts book until he conies -to live, healthy , tissue. An antiseptic dressing is applied, and then the tree dentist puts in his cement. _le large cavities the concrete -is in- sertedin sections to ,ensure .an elas- ticity that will permit the tree to sway naturally. These slight breaks' also prevent too great a stress being set up, as this might cause the whole limb to snap in a severe gale. When the Oiling is properly done, the tree 5hews a -tendency to spread across the joint between wood and concrete, and gradually cover the space with bark. In where the cavity is shall, it is not unusual for the surrounding bark to grow all over the filled space. SO,: in tree surgery, concrete tabes the place of vulban'ite or other material for fillings, and iron rods and cables represent the gold bands sometimes used in human den- tistry.

The others have variou' numbers ranging front two to nine, The sun with its planets and their attendant moons represent what the astronomer calls the sola&' system.

Why She Was Sure. _ A quaint story illustrating the work- ing of a child's mind, was told recent- ly by the Ducliss's of Portland. A. little girl, grieved because her brother had set a trap in. the garden for the sparrows, prayed that none should be caught. Next morning, how- ever, there was one in the trap. :Her faith was sorely tried, but elm continued _ to pray. Still sparrows were caught Night after night she went Cb bed hoping that the sparrows might escape. Bach limning she was moved to tears. Then one night, after offering her usual yst ion tor the birds, she looked UP at her Mother and said "1 know my prayer will be answer- ed tonight, mummy." "Why are you so sure, dear?" - "Because T smashed up the trap be- fore I carie in to go to bed," was. the reply. Care of nninr�als develops responsi- bility for the helpless.
