Dangerous Trees Old wooden ofthe German and Austrian for ask fof- giveness of a tree before 'thes cut it down ) Mr To "then, "iT iS almost _erininal te destroy a gant of the forests, for they believe that every tree has a spirit with human feelings . This belief is by no means un common. Natives of Dutch' Suma: 'tra, Yhewing down trees, ease tlielr consciciees by putting "the on the Dutch _aithaorities, . "we "3 - 'a . by Mg aSpirit who lodgest in this free." runs their formula of. exculpatidn, "take it not all that 1 cut down thy dwelling," for itis done at no wish of mine but by order of the controller." 2 A tree found secrefly blame only in_ a' semi- ~~ ®eeaopical state of Mexico is invested listed "among __the passengers with particularly evil powers, The "Arbol de la Mala Mujer" (Tree of the-Bad Woman) thrives in bar- ren and isolated spots and is re- putedly one of the ugliest trees, in the world. . Anyone who touches this tree 1s likely to contract fever; skin pois- oning and other ills, which are often incurable. So harmiul was . their effect on health that all these trees were: labelled, whever found, with = the placard "Dangerous." Natives avoid them. A "Dynamite Tree," also found itt Mexico, shares the distinction of being labelled Dangerous. Its fruits, about the size of a large orange, are liable to explode when ripe with a violent blast, aud any- one within range of the flying frag- ments may be badly injured. The Javanese invest their trees with different properties. Particu- larly ominous is the "kiri" tree.- for, according to Japanese my- thology, the leaves of this tree portend death whenever they fall prematurely. Pictorial Proof--And piscatorial, too, that a fish is no match for a mdn even when the fellow isn't lying. The fisherman is Bob _ - Rood, a photographer who is 48 inches tall and weighs 80 pounds. The fish, which Rodd actually caught, is a salmon 38 inches long and weighs 29 pounds. As: the photo shows, fishing. is probably the only sporf .in the world where bat- tlers weigh in after the fight. + Rutton! Rutton! [n the 18th century. buttons as- sumed a still more important role in fashions. In fact, during this period, so marked by the changing whirffs of style. buttons really came into. their own. Almost until the Revolution. many of the finer but- tons in America were imported from England or France .although there had been two goldsmiths s.on, one of the early vessels arriving in the colonies. An inventory dated in 1733 shows that Caesar Ghiselin had been making jewelry here be- fare that time, At first, as I have said, covered _ buttons were everywhere most in "evidence, though there were many handsome solid silver buttons, es- pécially "among the Dutch. 'As the century progressed, but- tdns increased in size, in number, and in variety. New materials ap- © plared, and new uses. for old ma- terials. There were buttons of mar casite and cut steel, of fine porce- lain and Wedgewood, of inlaid tor- toise shell, enamel, pastes, and all the semi-precious stones besides all the precious materials. Blue in a 'rith- dafk shade called cobalt was . the rhost favored color and is found in' both glass and enamel buttons. Many kinds of materials were mounted under glass to become buttons. Little groups of seaweed and. tiny shells; ~or~grasses and"a bug or butterfly are among them. Paintings and drawings in differ ent mediums were treated in this ' = way, There were miniatures on ivory, 'often signed by famous names, and dainty landscapes in gouachie, * that delicate kind 'of watercolor done with'a rather dry' brush with oil pahit: technique~ From "The Button Collector's His- tory," by Grace Horney Ford. Reporting For Duty--The three youngsters above, dressed appropriately for their rales as page boys at the wedding of a British naval officer, salute a uniformed guest as he arrives at the church. Military courtesy is served as the salute is returned. How Can I? | By Anne Ashley i Q. How can I wash a feather pillow? ! A.
