Changed His Mind.

A few days ago, Burlington man, who
had long been fervent disciple Of Dico,t
and Palm, and all the other cremationists,
made his will, i'll which he stipulated that
after his death mis- body should be burned
and his ashes preserved in classic urn.
But yesterday morning he went into the
kitchen to black his boots, and, when he
V ent to sit down on the wood-box he sat
down on stove-plate that Bridget had
Just taken off the roaring stove. And he
tore up the will, and threw away all his
books on cremation, and kicked the agen
of a patent inodorous casket and retort, ,and
says if anybody comes to his funeral witt
even a match in his pocket, he mill rais'
up in his coffin. Oh but he was mad ant

FACTS ABOUT TAPIOCA,

The plant from which tapioca is OBJ
tanned is a native of South America, &,
and is cultivated extensively in Brazil,
as also i'll many parts OF the East Indies
and the Indian Archipelago. 1t is a
woody plant, with slender stalks, and
grows to the height of about eight feet,
and known as the CassaVa or Manioc
plant. 1t has smooth, palm shaped
leaves, and bears small, green flowers,
which grow in clusters, with an immense
sized tleshy root, sometimes weighing as
much as lorty or fifty pounds.
The plant belongs TO 4 highly-poison-
Gus tribe, and is itself one Of the most
virulent species. This poison is found
more particularly in the juice OF the
plant, small quantity killing birds,
quadrupeds, ana even man himself,
causing colo perspirations, great swell
ing and conYulsions, generally ending
in death; but this deleterious substance
Is so highly volatile il exposed to heat,
or even the open air, that its property is
entirely dlssipated.
The root from which tapioca is pro-
cured is of rapid growth, and comes to
perfection iu SIX months, and somewhat
resembles huge parsnip. 1t is then
taken up and washed,a and the rind, which
is Of a dark color, peeled off; then grated
VI eLOuhN AhGO q PoAPS anu pup SuD-
mitted to pressure, by which the juice
is expressed and preserved. The meal
or pulp that remains in the press being
dried is called conaque, aud is made
into bread or cake, which is called
cassava bread. The expressed juice,
alter being allowed to stand, deposits
a white powder, which, after being well
washed and dried, constitutes what is
called tapioca flour or Brazilian arrow
root, and by the French nlOuSSQche.
All the products Of the roOLs are nu-
tritious and easy of digestion. The ma
tives frequently terment the expressed
Juice with m0lasses, and form an intoxi-
eating beverage called onYcan, that sup
plies the place OF wine and beer of the
temperate climate. When the climate
is favorable, the plant is OF a hardy ma
ture and easily cultivated. 1t requires
dry situation, and the land to Do OF
good quality, and will not well yield on
the same ground two successive crops.
The mode OF planting Is from cuttings,
and little moisture ls needed by the
plant at its first growth. There are nine
different species enumerated by botau-
lists, but two only OF which are culUiya-
ted for human food; they are known as
the bitter cassava and the sweet cassa-
va. The roots are very similar, the first
by far the most poisonous, the only per-
ceptible difference between the TWO
ro0ts being tough ligneous cord run
ming through the center OF the sweet
cassava root, which the bitter variety
is wholly without.
