SIAM HAS LEPER "VILLAGE" I Plague-Stricken Patients Fill Offices in the Town Govornmont and Assist in Work. A progressive Siamese leper "village" is described by the Bangok correspondent of the London Daily Mail. Woaderful progress has been made during recent times with regard to the treatment of lepers in this neighborhood, many scores having been housed at the Chiengmai leper asylum, which was established with the joint 'aifi of the Siamese government and the mission to lepers some 'thirteen years ago. This asylum is run on the lines of a Siamese village, with a village headman chosen by the lepers themselves. Tha loruir hoc to thJnlr that lie is still a useful citizen'of the state, and not a social outcast as heretofore. They work under their headman, look after the roads, and attend to the clearing of the jungles. There are two schools within the settlement for children of the lepers and the attendance is good, despite the fact that most of the pupils suffer from the terrible disease." The . plague-stricken boys and girls, with their nerveless, deformed fingers, work as hard tneir more iortunate leprosy-free schoolmates in the other School of the asylum. The asylum has its own currency, so that the coins can be avoided by the outside world. Steam Shovels Disturb Indians' Sieep.

Persons who object to the odor of cirronella could use this: castor oil one ounce, alcohol one ounce,: oil of lavender one ounce. Both preparations were used by workers in the Panama canal zone and gave great. relief until the extermination of mos-j quitoes was undertaken. Neither preparation should be allowed to get into the eyes. Miles of Wire in This Apparatus.

DOCTORS CALLED TO EED- | SIDE OF FAMOUS TREES i _ _ , The Atlanta Journal, July 23. The tree at Athens that owns itself is said to be dying, and the question has arisen, who will De tne tree's heir if this ancient oak succumbs to the efFccts of time? The sassafras tree, on the lawn of the First Methodist church, at the corner of Peachtree and Ivy streets, the largest tree of its kind in the world, has recently shown signs of Mecay and has received treatment from a tree doctor who has removed parts of the interior of the trunk and replaced the decayed wood with cement. These two trees and another, a silver beech on Peachtree street, to which a poem has been written, are the subject of the following article bv Faith Boyce. 1 I The Tree That Owns Itself The giant oak at Athens, Ga.,! possessor of itself, is thought to be dying. If this fear proves true, who will become the owner of the lot on which the tree stands and to which it holds a legal title? There are no little sprigs around the foot of the tree to grow into full-sized oaks, so it is cei'tain that the heir cannot be a tree. i Will it be a man? If so, who? The marble slab at the base of the tree bears this inscription: "For the great love I bear this t~ee, I convey to it the entire possesion of itself with eight feet of land on each side thereof." The deed is signed by William K. Jackson. What better proof of ownership would you want than sucft a statement carveu m nibble ? i But the inscription leaves no instructions for the future. Perhrrs Mr. Jackson never thought that the tree 'must some day die. i At any rate we have these two facts: The tree is thought to be dying, and there is no provision for what is to happen to its property af ter that. Some say the lot on which the tree stands will revert to the city when the old oak dies. Others say; that it will go to the Jackson family.! The Largest Sassafras Tree On the lawn of the First Metho-, dist church, at Peachtree and Ivy streets, stands y remarkable tree.!

It"3 natural^ home is in a meadow, surrounded by wild flowers,: singing birds, and the free winds of; heaven, and to see one pent in a town ! yard, is extraordinary. And secondly, this is believed to be the largest sassafrs?3 tree in the world, and is so' classified in the archives of the Na-' tional Geographic society at Wash-, ington, D. C., where its photsgrapn ? - . is on file. For sassatras grows m small bushes, in thickets?never be-! 7 ? froe in a large t-ree?and this tree; is eight and a half feet in circum-! ference. Everyone has seen the old women sitting1 at street corners in Atlanta,' selling sassafras roots, odd little i bundles of short thick brown sticks,1 used for making sassafras tea. (Re-member the old peddler in the "Win-! dow in Thrums," who always called i t4Ony rozetty roots today?'" and; how Jimmy imitated him to fool his mother when he came home from; London to Thrumss) The tree has recently shown signs of decay, and an Atlanta tree doctor, W. J. Robinson, of 202 S. Forsyth street, was called in to treat it. It was necessary to remove a great deal of ihe inside of the trunk, as it had been eaten by :"nsects. This was replaced with cement, mixed with some preparation to arrest decay, and the tree now presents the neat appearance of a m-son who has lust had a dental op eration. "All trees ought to be looked over once a year anyway," said Mr. Rob-i inson. "Almost all trees need soinej cavity work done, and a tree that, takes many years to grow, can often | be saved from decay and death by j a little timely work on it." The sassafras tree is very old?so; old that R. A. Hemphill of 1141 j Peachtree, who remembers old At-! lanta very clearly, cannot recall; when it was planted. It is a strange I transition, from the quiet of green j fields to Peachtree's hurry and noise;; and perhaps the tree misses its! peaceful madows as much as a trans-< planted farmer would miss his fields. Trf?#> That Insmred a Poem Among the m~ny beautiful ere j~ J in Atlanta, the silver beech owned1 by Mrs. A. E. Thornton, of Oil Peaehtree, is perhaps the most graceful. This wonderful tree is like a little green room inside, for the boughs come down to the earth on every side, almost shutting out the outer world. Mrs. Lollie Belie Wylie wrote a poem to this tree, which has been quoted all over the United States. The trunk of the tree is a curious dark silver color, the little Iaqv-oc 3vp n vprv briarht live green, and the root? are quite wonderful |gnarled, twir.ted, of a tarnished sil-j vrr color, and extending for several feet over the green grass on each cido of the widespreadinv limbs. There are other shade trees of great beauty in these large grounds, said to be the oldest yard in Atlanta, some of the trees having been n'antpH nvpr 40 vcars r??n. Tho heeeh r,vv"-v ~ ~ - ?<r? - tree, however, is "Nature's tree," and planted itself, with no human aid. It is especially beautiful in winter," said Mrs. Thornton, "for then it is a tree of shining white, ice-covered, and glittering like slver." , There is also a very attractive linden tree growing in the grounds? an unusual sight in this country, with small blossoms under its leaves. i "Rose-colored crape myrtles add a distinctly southern charm to the shrubbery and furnish a great haven for birds. Brown thrushes, blue birds, mocking birds?they all fly over the rolling lawns and through the i stately trees of the Thornton place, i Some mocking birds have been there for years, returning very spring, j Some years ago, Mrs. Thornton, while sitting on her verandah, hap-j pened to notice a very old man who had paused to notice a tall pine tree | at the edge of the grounds. It was a Mr. Culpepper, an old friend of her father's. "You must never cutj ' down this tree," he said solemnly. i i "Years ago, when I was a private in the signal service corps, we used that old pine as a lookout, and from it, signals were flashed to the sharpshooters. It is not only artistic, but^ historic." I i However, in a storm a few years' 3gO, a DU1L UL apm, mic vr?v? | tree from top to bottom, and the next: day. hundreds of dead sparrows, I which had nested in the fines growing! around the tree, were found on the! law. I i Greatness is something that- usually comes to a man when he has done his best without actually thinking of the reward.
