H~ the Natives Manipulate the Fruit Ol
the BreHdfruit Tree.
The first mention OF the breadfruit re-
calls the mutiny of the Bounty, whose
mission was to transplant this tree from
Otaheite, ss the early navigators called
it, to Jamaica In his dangerous voyage
in an open boat Biigh sailed athwart
this Fijian group with a gale raging at
his back. He passed a filed with
whrriors, and as he hurried by the ma
tives stood up and pointed to the loom
of land to the southwark and shouted
''My-wollah," but what in the world
this may mean the man does not live
who can tell. Baked or boiled, the fruit
is a starchy, somewhat sticky vegetable.
with no earthly resemblance to bread.
It differs from the yam in that II may
not be preserved for future use. but in
its natural state must be eaten at once
Yet. preserved. it is. after a peculiar dis
tressing fashion, not at all pleasant to
the civilized taste.
The ripe fruit is stripped Of its sticky
rind and Is grated on blocks OF coral,
and when reduced to a shapeless mass is
vigorously pounded with a pestle in a
mortar. While some are thus preparing
the pulp others are engaged digging pits
on the pebbly beach about half tide
level. each pit OF about a bushel capacity
and lined with banana leaves. Each OF
these pits is then filed with the pulped
brcadfruit packed hard, the stones are
thrown back upon it, and a little heap
marks the spot where the dainty is pre-
served. Twice every day the tides come

twice every day for at least four months,
lur short OF the expiration OF that time
he preserve is not considered at its best,
he AIuit in the other direction being
certainly not less than q year.
As need for the food arises the pits are
opened, and then the reek OF ~rossenness
spreads down the wind. The process of
preserving is but that Of decay aided by
he sea water, and it naturally results
hat the preserve smells to the skies
when its repose is disturbed. Little do
The Fijians care for this smell, on which
they nave been nourished, though to the
asst man their gorge would rise at cayi-
are or high cheese such as Is in favor
with us. The fruit that went n the
pit as a pulp comes out rs thick custord,
and is nodded into little cakes Of the size
of a mans hand and, each wrapped in
banana leaves, is put into a pot and
steamed. After cooking the distinctive
odor appears to be ~redoubled, but the
cake is sweet and extremely pleasant to
the taste II only the nose can be coerced
into giving over its lively repugnance to
that which goes beneath it to tho mouth.
This is the madria nj viii, the Fijian
bread, which is everywhere eaten and
relished.-Montreal Star.

SOME since the New York World


SOME TIME since the New York World
printed the statement that American
goods are sold by the aDu~fact1rers at
lower prices to foreigners than TO Amer
leans. This was disputed. To arrive at
the facts, Representative Mansur OF Mis-
souri, sent letters to various manufacturers
asking as to its truth. Out of eight firms
10 different lines all but one answered in
the affirmative Mr.. White, OF the Pho
nix iron works. stated that for an engine,
for instance. listed for 800. the lowest
price to home purchasers is 1925, while
to foreign purchasers 1t is 1895. Others
admit like differences. +. w. Deval 4
Co., manufacturers ct paints and var
nishes, say they used To make lower prices
for expor than for the home trade, but in
their line the trusts have completely de-
stroyed the EXPORT trade. For illustration
they say they are forced to Day the linseed
oil trust 62 cents per gallon, while linseed
oil is selling in England at "a cents a gal
lon. Thus the English have an advantage
of so per cent in neutral markets. This
hnseed oil trust is protected to the extent
of 25 cents per gallon. and the Mckinley
bill raises the protection to 80 cents a gal
Ion. The trust has not only killed the eI-
port trade. but it exacts the full tariff

A good deal of surprise will be occa-
stoned throughout the country by the re-
port which comes from Washington that
the chances are unfavorable for the ad-
mission Of either Wyoming or Idaho to

there may be nothing in this story, but
at ali events the friends Of admission seem,
within the past two weeks. to have lost
much Of the confidence in the success OF
their scheme which they exhibited 10 the
early months OF the session.
The plea which is being urged in iusti-
6cation of the ~postponement will strike
the country as being illogical and made.

The Preventive OF a Terrible Disease

No disorders, excepting the most dead
ly forms of lung disease, involve such a
tremendous destruction Of organic tissue
as those which fasten upon the kid
neys. Such maladies. when they become
chronio-and zone are 30 liable to assume
that phsse-oompletly wreck the system.
To prevent this disease. recourse should
be had. upon the first manifestation oil
trouble, to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which experience has proved to be highly
effective as a means Of imparting tome and
regularity to the organs OF urination. as
well as to the liver, stomach..snd bowels.
Another beneficial result OF this medicine,
naturally consequent upon its dIuretic &C
ton. is the elimination from the blood of
impurities which beget rheumatism, neu-
ralgia, govt, dropsy, and other maladies,
By increasing the sctiUty Of the kidneys,
it augments the depurative efficiency Of
these organs, which are most important
outlets for the escape OF such impurities,

We offer no apology for devo ing so much
time and attention to this much neglected
class of diseases, believing that no condition
of humanity Is too wretched to merit the SYM
pathy and best service OF the profession to
which we belong, as many are Innocent suf-
ferers, and that the physician who deNotes
himself to relieving the afflicted and saving
them from worse than death, Is no less a
philantrophist and benelactor to his race than
the surgeon or physician who by close appli-
cation excels in any other branch OF his pro
fession- And, fortunately for humanity, the
day Is dawning when the false philantrophy
that condemned the victims Of folly or crime,
like the lepers under the Jewish law to die

Joking, gave his consent, but when the time

depart. The child was given the English
name of Nellie instead of the unproncunce-
