My mother purposed to make me a good loser and did not hesitate to sacrifice her own after- noon's pleasure, '° Her experiment worked to my advantage as will be seen. 3 The crying habit I had inherited to some extent, Every time I tried to do something new and failed the first time, I wept and became so thorough- ly discouraged that I gave up trying. This fault is absolutely fatal to the progress and advancement of ahy child or adult. It ds impossible to get ghead if such an attitude of mind is permitted. My mother was fully alive to this fact and strove to reason with me and to encourage me never to cry, but to bite my lips and hold the tears back at all costs, She showed me what a hindrance this fault would be later on if I did not control it then. I gradu- ally formed'.the habit of whistling when I felt myself oh the verge of tears. I still find this helpful. It took time and patience on my mother's part to break me of the cry- ing habit. The tears gradually be- came less frequent. T By the time I had finished High School the results of this training were clearly seen. I could lose a game and smile with the best of them.

I was dolefully thinking it over in my room when my eye caught the shimmering reflection in the mirror of an old patchwork quilt thrown across the foot of the bed. I snatched it up and drew it about my shoulders. It had all the richness and charming variation of a Persian shawl. A silk patchwork kimono, I decided, would be just the thing. The rag bag should furnish my negligee. First I cut out from muslin a one- piece pattern fashioned after the hut- terfly waists. I made the armholes vepy wide and then attached long, wide, straight sleeves. I pieced each sleeve before I tacked it on. Then I out out a round neck, slashed it up the middle of the front and pleced it before I sewed the underarm and side seams. I do not know what the accepted method for doing patchwork js, but I laid my muslin pattern out on the dining-room table and first arranged the patches and pinned them to the muslin, and then basted them securely to the cloth, turning the rough edges under. Across the back and around the bottom I used rather large patches. In a week and a half I had it ready to work in fancy stitches with colored | floss. It happens that we had enough {odds and ends of thread about the | house, so that I did not have to buy eny. It took me only a month of cas- ual application to finish the decorative stitching.

"One of my trees is dying--what is the cause?" A lot of folks ask us this question every summer, and it is a hard question to answer. There are a great many things that kill trees. The quickest and surest tree-killer is illum- inating gas. If a tree dies suddenly, see if there is a leaky gas-main near its roots. Another deadly material is the p:ant-poison, sodium arsenite. This poison has not been used extensively to kill trees, but in certain cases it has proved very effective. A few notches cut in the tree at the ground level, and these treated liberally with the sodium arsenite--pouring a pint of the strong solution on the cuts and about the base of the tree--does the trick. As one man sald of this treatment: "It acts like dynamite." Some folks think that trees will die of old age, but death in old age is usually the result of slow death by rot- ting. Nature provides the tree with a splendid armor against these rots, in the form of bark. Accidents or the thoughtlessness of man usually opens the way to heart rots which will final- ly lay low the greatest monarchs of the forest. Anything that breaks the bark, leaving a great gaping wound that can not be healed quickly, opens the door to easy inroads by these heart-rot fungi. One of the most common causes of a tree's dying is dry weather. As a rule, the first thing to do when a tree's leaves n to wither or turn yellow is to spade some manure into the soil and give the soil a good soaking. horning are also causes of trouble. Some people believe dehorning does |the tree good. They point out the massed clusters of branches which spring out from dehorned branches. as evidence of the increased vigor. But every time a great branch is cut off, leaving a stump which can not heal, just that often a pathway is opened "Say, were you connected with the army in any way during the war, dear?" "No, why?" "Well, you always sound so much like my old top-sergeant when you talk to me." . sm Bees Can't Hear. Why beat pans and ring bells when the bees swarm? Bees can't hear. Who started the pan-beating custom, anyway, The English folks. Many years ago many suits came before English squires in regard to owner- ship of bee swarms. The man on whose property they settled claimed them as his. The man whose hives they had come from claimed them as his own. It was hard to tell just where the bees really came from. It therefore became a custom for the English farmer to beat upon a pan or ring a bell whenever his bees were. swarming, so that he could give notice to his neighbors that the bees were swarming and: he could claim them wherever they should alight. And now a few folks think the noise makes the bees settle. Nothing ¢o it. ~
