Sweetening one's coffee is the first stirring event of the day. If you want to know whether a tree ia hollow or not, axe it.

Two cherry trees have bo"n killed by sunstroke in Chicago during the recent hot weather. The owner, a Mr Vieser, was standing near them at the time (.'1 p.m.). and Suddenly heard a noise like the splitting of wood. Looking round him he saw the hark peeling off the trees at the tops, curling downward along the trunk and lin.bi until it reached the ground, and leaving the trees as naked and barren as though they had boon riven by the lightning’s holt. Bark, leaves, and cherries were all stripped off and laid a nines of ruins on the parched earth. The process occupied but three or four seconds. Mr Vieser, on examination found the trunks, limbs, twigs, leaves, and fruit perfectly dead. They ,had literally died of sunstroke.
