On Friday night the . street was swept and the oil applied, while there was no treffio to interfere with the workmen. When first laid down the oil gave forth a rather disagreeable odor, but this has since disappeared, and the process will no doubt be repeated throughout the business seotion of the town. A second applioetion will be made in a few days and then this will be expected to suffice for the balance of the season. Saturday's heavy rain had no effect on the oiled section, and all parties concerned think it is a good thing. ST, HELENS. Mise Annie Clark iy home from the West for the vacation.

Waiting Doesn't Boom Business "Waiting niay be an oaey job, but it doesn't boom business." So says Printers' Iuk. of New York, and wisely, too. There are business then, However, who, while heartily agreeing with that flantinieut, will watt until the firer chill winds of antnutn begin to blow before they euter upon the campaign that they hope will be largely instrumental in reeling for them their stocks of fall and winter geode: Such as these miss the whole essence and lesson of publicity; they have, indeed, to begin to leave it. The onmuiative effect of a well -plastied eamnier oampaegn has not yet impressed itself upon them, because, although they do not kndw it, and they would trot ad- mit it, they belong to the age of the horse oar and the shattered ahop wit- .. e dove. Bat while they are whiting, their rivals have already begun tb build up orders for the hall trade, because they believe iu 'summer pnblioity, To' an advt, in the Tnae. , ...f ,.w_s ,Y -I ,,.+•, s er, .• • Moral "Risks." It is pointed out by a niodera think- er that there is ne such thing as a moral risk, for when we talk about a "risk" we mean that there is a poSel- bility, but not a certainty, that harm will result. A boy takes .a physical risk when he goes skating on that part of the river where the ice is thin, He may fall through and injure his health or lose his, life. Bat when we ventgre on thin ice in our moral life there is no risk in the matter et, all. There is assured catastrophe from the moment we start in that di- rection.. No one caei do anything which he knows involves possible mo- ral danger without thereby definitely passing beyond the line of there dan- ger into positive injury to his cher. atter.. China's National Tree, The tuns or wood oil tree is worth - named the national tree of China. It is stately in appearance, with smooth green bark and widespread- ing brandies, affording a fine shade. It bears a fruit resembling a shell - bark hickory nut, but as large as a small orange. Each nut contains three triangular seeds similar to small Brazil nuts, The oil is pressed. from these seeds,' and the refuse is used as a fertilizer. The oil is used principally for polishing woodwork and dressing loather. Considerable quantities are exported. The wood of the tung tree is used for making musi- cal instruments, fine boxes and the framework of small houses. It is free from ravages of insects. Early History of Rubber. Rubber is first knolvn to history as a plaything. It was during Coluni- •bus' second voyage that Herrera ob- served that the inhabitants of Haiti played a game with. balls "made of the gum of a tree," Even -as early as the beginning of the seventeenth century, however, the Spaniards used rubber to waterproof their cloaks, but the fact attracted no attention in the old world, and it was not until the eighteenth century that the rubber in- dustry began. Early writers inention an oil extracted from rubber which was taken medicinally with. cocoa. ' Muscle and Music. A story used. to be told of Pailerew- ski that he could Brack a pane of French plate glass half an inch thick merely by placing one hand upon it as if. upon a piano keyboard and striking it sharply with his middle finger. Chopin's last study in C mi- nor has a passage which takes two' minutes and five seconds to play. The total pressure brought to bear on this, it is estimated, is equal to- three full •tons. The average "tonnage" of an hour's piano playing of Chopin's mu- ic varies from twelve to eighty-four tons. - The Dinner Horn. Details in regard to the manner in which meals were served during the dark ages do not abound. It is only tpward the twelfth century that we begin to have a little light on this in- teresting subject. When a meal was ready in the thirteenth century , the guests of a castle, with the vassals, were assembled to the sound of a horn, a method of summoning that appears to have been the privilege only of the greatest lords. Some hun- dreds of years later a bell was used for the .purpose. The Color of the Eye. The color of the iris is not uniform in any eye. Some eyes have spots, others stripes, still others blotches of white, green, blue, yellow and black, and the eye takes its color from the predominance of one hue. An eye that is considered gray will often be composed of black and yellow. An eye that is thought to be brown will be very dark red with spots of yellow or blue, Questioning Grandma. "Grandma," inquired her little grandson the day of her arrival, "did you slee,p on your face last night?" "Of course not, dear. Why do you ask that?" "'Cause it's all wrinkled." NEWS NOTES.
