A VERY USEFUL TREE.
The Camanbn of Brazil il of Service From
RooIIer TO Branch.

The Camanbn of Brazil is of Service From
RooIlsr TO Branch.
The camanba tree is, every part of it
root, rootlet, branch and trunk-available.
In fact, it is indispensable for the natives
in building and roofing their huts,
making fences, etc., while articles
made from it supply them with
food. light and medicine. It is
a species of palm tree, and grows In dry,
sandy soil The bulb (the size depending
upon the size of the tree) is strongly farina-
cious when dried, and ground produces a
kind of farischa used for food BY the natives,
while the rootlets of the bulb are used for
medicine, possessing a strong cathartic prop
erty. The trunk, while the tree is young,
contains a soft, oleaginous substance, some
thing like marrow; this is good food for
cattle, sheep, goats and hogs.
After the tree attalns a growth of several
years the trunk becomes very hard and can
then be used for building purposes. The
lower part Of the branches, which grow to a
length of 8 to 10 or IL feet, are chiefly used
for fences. The leafy part OF the branch,
when cut and sun-dried, gives an exuda-
ton, which appears on the fan-llke leaf
or blade. 1t is a tenacious substance
possessing properties very similar to bees
wax. This wax is extensively used for
making candles. The leaf or blade has a
fiber from which hats, mats, baskets, rope,
brooms, busters, etc., are male. When the
exudation is scraped from the blades OF
palm the branches are used for roofing huts
and small houses and for protecting brick
walls from the fierce rays of the sun, as we'll
as from the rain. The fruit of the tree is
sweet and palatable. The kernel or seed
is pounded to powder and is used In In
fusion in place of coffee.

Then is an odd theory, says the Detroit
Free Press, that the great number of bald
headed bachelors may be accounted for on
the hypothesis that bald-headedness makes
bachelors. The ingenious theorist admits
that hald-headedness does not impair q
mans value in the ordinary affairs of life.
He can buy or sell, insure, run bank or
accept an Office with not enough hair on his
head to make a frst-class eyebrow; but
when it comes to making love to girl 1t is
very much in the way.
There is great deal of capillary attrac.
tion in love. Girls adore handsome suit
of glossy hair; it is lovely. And when a
lover comes to WOO her with the top of his
head shining like creased pumpkin he is
at disadvantage. Just as the words that
glow and the thoughts that burn begin to
awaken in her bosom a sympathetic thrill,
she may happen to notice two or three flies
promenading over his chronological organs,
and all is over. She Immediately becomes
more interested in those flies than in all his
lovely language. While he is pouring out
his love she is wondering how the flies man

1 heard last night for the first time that
the great editor and economist, Mr.. Henry
watterson, is an accomplished musician,
and that bis talents displayed in early
youth had led his parents to hope that he
would one day make a name for himself as
a pianist. But fate-if my friends the
musicians will spare me the charge Of
heresv and treason-had greater aims for
him to accomplish. Mr.. Harvey W atterson
had made arrangements to send his promis-
ing son to a celebrated European school for
the piano, when an accident to young
Henry's thumb prevented the fruition Of
his musical ambitions and turned his genius
to paths that were from the first strewn with
honors and the promises of greatness.
1 suppose it is generally known that the
great journalist practically began his news
paper career as musical and dramatic critic
on the Cincinnati Commercial. His first
criticism was so brilliant and gave evil
dence of such high order OF talent that it
won him the enduring admiration and
friendship OF Mr.. Murat Halstead.

Common Sense Shows That it IL Not So seri-
ous ms Represented.
Science.l
The different varieties of beer and ale are
among the lightest of alcoholic beverages,
the amount of alcohol they contain depend
ing on how far the fermentation of the wort
was conducted. In their endeavor to sup
ply light-colored beer, brewers are resort
ing to the use Of malt substitutes, as glucose,
as giving them more satisfactory results-a
practice that presents no objection on the
score of health. Such light-colored beers,
however, lack the full and fine flavor of
beer made from malt exclusively.
In bottling their beer, in order to prevent
further fermentation, resort is had to anti
septics, a practice which should be pro-
hibIted by law, as the quantity and kind of
antiseptic used varies in the different bot
tling establishments; some brewers and bot
tiers, however, do not use antiseptics. The
use of alkaline bi-carbonates to increase
the head Of gas is another adulteration
of bottled beers. When hops are scarce,
and consequently dear, resort is had to other
bitters, as gentian and quassia; but that
brewers habitually employ unwholesome
bitters, as strychnine and picric acid, is ex-
tremely unlikely, because, if for no other
reason, their sales would decrease on the
mere suspicion of such practice.

An old employe of the late A. T. Stewart,
the millionaire dry goods merchant of New
York, tells Washington Post reporter an
instance which shows the means sometimes
employed by that gentleman. for enforcing
the rules of his store. There was a rule to
the effect that no person employed in the
building should carry matches, under
penalty Of dismissal. One evening as Mr..
Stewart was passing through the store on
his way home, he suddenly turned to
number of clerks who were standing near
the door, and asked: "Can any of you OBJ
lige me with match?"
. No one answered Tor moment, till one of
the men, prompted by courtesy and think
ing that his employer would not take
advantage of him, replied, Certainly, sir;

"You are discharged" was the ungra-
cious response "Go to the desk and get
what is due you" And with q "good
