Before the Australian flag was

carefully examined. The competition
was originally started by "The Aus

many of the designs were well .worth
notice, the government took the mat
ter up and offered a reward of £200
for the best suggestion. A board of
naval experts was appointed to exam
ine those sent in, and a decision was
reached on October 3.

PROGRESS IN TREE SURGERl
Lives of Many Are Now S»v«<l hj
Timely Opfrnilom.
there has also been very great progress
In tree surgery or the methods ot
treating trees and shrubbery when it
becames necessary to apply the knife
or pruning shears. Many a tree is
living today that would have died a
few years ago from causes that wouid
then have brought on death, but which
today are successfully treated.
An instance of this progress can be
seen in the Simon Cameron tree, as
the spreading elm near the footpath
leading from New Jersey avenue to the
south wing of the capital in Washing
ton is called. This tree received its
While surgery as applied to man has
made great strides in recent years,
name by which it is universally known
now when the elder Olmstead laid out
the capitol grounds and provided for a
footpath which would have made nec
essary the removal of the stately old
elm that was so greatly admired by
Senator Simon Cameron. Mr. Cam
eron interested himself in saving the
tree with the result that it was al
lowed to stand in the center of a
space that would otherwise have been
covered with a granolithic walk.
The tree flourished until a year ago,
when an amputation became neces
sary. One of its big limbs, showing
signs of decay, was cut off. The op
eration was successful enough, but the
wound being Jeft open, in the course of
time decay set in. The decay was
working into the very vitals of the
elm and w'ould have killed it in a few
years, but recourse was taken to an
operation that is now very frequently
applied in tree surgery. The decayed
portion was scraped off and a cover
ing of asphaitum was placed over it to
arrest further decay. The tree is now
as well off, says the Washington Star,
as would be a man with a limb am
putated and properly dressed with an
tiseptics. In the course of time the
wound will probably be healed and the
tree will be perfectly healthy again.
COOKING BY THE SUN'S RAYS.
Nutrl Flan Invented by Mun from San
Francisco.
Cooking by the heat of the sun Is a
novel idea, but suggests economy, and
is certainly practicable if there is no
exaggeration in the claims made by
a San Francisco inventor in behalf of
a newly patented contrivance.
The apparatus consists of a sort of
oven made in the shape of a rectangu
lar box, open on one of its four sides
(through glass) to the direct rays of
the sun. and similarly exposed on an
other side to solar rays reflected
from a series of prismliko mirrors.
Inasmuch as the box and mirrors are
adjustable at various angles, the rays
of the sun may be concentrated upon
the inside of the oven at any hour of
the day.
The oven is set upon one edge.
Whereas the upper two sides are of
glass, the lower two sides are of wood,
and the whole box, save for the two
glass sides, is double-walled and lined
with felt and sawdust. Thus, glass
being also a nonconductor, the heat
that enters the box does not easily get
out again. In fact, if there were water
inside, it is claimed that it would
quickly boll on a sunshiny day.
The internal arrangement of the
oven consists of three shelves which
remain horizontal no matter at what
angle the box is placed. On these
shelves baking is done. Along the
top edge of the box extends a flat
piece of metal, hollow inside, into
which hot air is admitted from the
oven beneath. This is a broiler, and
the Inventor says that one may cook a
steak on it nicely.
One advantage of the solar method
of cooking it that it is clean. No fuel
has to be supplied, and there are no
ashes to remote. It is a process that
recommends Itself most strongly,
therefore, to the neat and thrifty
housewife.
Barber's Canning Bid for Trade.
“I perceive,” sRid the barber, "that
you shave yourself and that you are
a right-handed person. I know that
you shave yourself and that you
are right - handed because your
hair, where it ends in front of your
ears, is blocked out by the razor at
unequal lengths. It is much longer,
a full quarter of an inch longer, be
fore your left ear than before your
right one. These inaccuracies show
me that you shave yourself, and the
longer hair on the left side shows you
to be right-handed. For you have,
you see, a better, freer reach with the
right hand, and in the first stroke of
shaving that you make on the right
side the trained muscles of your arm
cause you unconsciously to begin high
er up. If you were left-handed the
hair on the left side would be the
shorter.”—Philadelphia Record.
Choice of Locality for flume.
Thoughtful parents are often guided
in their choice of a home by the char
acter of the school district into which
it wil bring them. I have known
families to move from the edge of one
district to the outskirts of an adja
cent one simply for the purpose of
changing school associations. “The
teachers are all right,” they will say.
"I have no fault to find with the
school; but I want my boy and my
girl to be thrown with a better class
of children.” And the feeling that
prompts it is to be honored always.
One can hardly do better for her
children than by giving them the best
and most elevating daily associations
obtainable.—Caroline Abbot Stanley
in the Ledger Monthly.

THE CHILDREN ENJOY
Life out of doors and out of the games which they play and the enjoy
ment which they receive and tlie efforts which they make, comes the
greater part of that healthful development which is so essential to their
happiness when grown. When a laxative is needed the remedy which is
given to them to cleanse and sweeten and strengthen the internal organs
on which it acts, should be such as physicians would sanction, because its
component parts are known to be wholesome and the remedy itself free from
every objectionable quality. The one remedy which physicians ami parents,
well-informed, approve and recommend and which the little ones enjoy,
because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects, is—
Syrup of Figs and for the same reason it is the only laxative which should
be used by fathers and mothers.
Syrup of Figs is the only remedy which acts gently, pleasantly and
naturally without griping, irritating, or nauseating and which cleanses the
system effectually, without producing that constipated habit which results
from the usf of the old-time cathartics and modern imitations, and against
which the children should be so carefully guarded. If you would have them
grow to manhood and womanhood, strong, healthy and happy, do not give
them medicines, when medicines are not needed, and when nature needs
assistance in the way of a laxative, give them only the simple, pleasant and
gentle Syrup of Figs.
Its quality is due not only to the excellence of the combination of the
laxative principles of plants with pleasant aromatic syrups and juices, but
also to our original method of manufacture and as you value the health of
the little ones, do not accept any of the substitutes which unscrupulous deal
ers sometimes offer to increase their profits. The genuine article may be
bought any where of all reliable druggists at fifty cents per bottle. Please
to remember, the full name of the Company —
CALIFORNIA FIG SYR-UP CO.- is printed on
the front of every pack
age. In order to get its
beneficial effects it is al
ways necessary to buy
the genuine only.
