Now it chanced one night that the three mighty chiefs of these nations each went out into the forest for a few hours of meditation and rest. It was very' dark so none' of the three observed the moccasined approach of the other. In the center of the forest . tood a giant oak tree with four enormous roots, one growing toward the north, one toward the south, one east and oiie west Now as the three chiefs came upon the tree, each from the direction of his own land, they paused between the high root walls of the tree and each prepared himself a bed on his side without the knowledge of anybody dees being there. The three slept till dawn when an angel messenger appeared and wakened them from then- - slumbers. Tb angel ordered the Pottawatomie to fill his pipe and light it. When the old chief was told to pass his pipe on to an enemy on the next side of the tree, he was filled with surprise and anger. But one did not dare dispute the command of an angel from the Great Spirit, so the chief gave the pipe to his neighbor, who smoked it, then offered it to the The face her la one carved by third.

Think how important these :baby- - explosive bombs are in the everyday business of the world. American matches are usually made of pine wood cut in a round shape. Tn Europe they are made of aspen and are cut square. Sheets of aspen wood can be dried artificially in a couple of hours and made into matches within the next hour,' Thus tliree hour may see a change from an aspn log to a few hundred or .more boxes of matches.

Tha Chinese say jade is a combination of the five caftlinal virtues, Jin, charity; Gi, modesty; Yu, courage; Ketsu, justice; and Chi, wisdom. They carve it most exquisitely in elaborate and fragile designs, for it is no harder than ordinary glasa and so is not difficult to work upon. It is frequently used for carvings of the figures of the Chinese gods. Jade includes two stones which are very f similar in appearance. ' WONT KNOW SOME SIGHTSEEING TRIPS WITH THE BIRDS .
