SHIRT TREE.--Wes talk of the
miserable price paid for shirt making
and Hoods touching appeal has en-
balmed the subject. But in South
America shirts are prepared with less
labor. In the forests of Orinoke there
is a tree which often attains the height
Of fifty feet, from which the natives
are said to procure shirts. To procure
that confidential garment it is only
necessary to strip off the bark and de-
prive it of its red fiberoas parts. The
head is thrust through one end, and
lanthern holes are cut to admit the
arms, and according to Humboldt they
are equal to our India rubber goods
for keeping out the wet.
