various, uses OF One Tree.

One of the strangest of trees is the
tia palm, found abundantly on the
banks of the Amazon and other South
American rivers In the swampy re-
gions which cover immense areas, the
Eta palm furnishes food, drink, cloth
ing and comfortable homes for the
natives. The Indians that inhabit
these swampy districts make tolera-
BILE wine from the sap of the palm, and
theyodistill a stronger stimulant by
crushing and fermenting the young
fruits. The food is derived from the
soft inner bark of the stems, and lis a
substance that in taste and appearance
closely resembles sage. The soft and
fibrous bark is used for garments and
for making strings, ropes. hammoeks
and the like. In times of high water,
often lasting two or three months, the
natives make hoorings in the trees
with the bark ropes and live there in
comfort and contentment.- Philadel-

Neutrality-suspicious..

A curious and novel use for the cleo
trio light has been found in England.
It can be employed for the detection Of
poachers The gamekeepers on an es-
tate near Bournemouth found that
poachers were in the preserves, and
by the aid of occasional flashes from
the search. lights Mt Hurst castle,
which are very powerful, they were
able to recognize two men who ran
away leaving behind them a net one
hundred yards long They were sub
sequently arrested from the. descrip-
tions given by the keepers and brought
before the magistrates of Bournemouth,
who sentenced them to two months
hard labor and to find security for
good behavior during twelve months,
or, in default, suffer an additional six
months Imprisonment. Hurst castle
is several miles distant from the place
where the men were identified. Is it
possible to establish on lofty mouu-
ments in the metropolis strong electric
lights which could be utilized for the

This title was, first applied to Hassan
Ben Sabbal, who founded formidable
dynasty in Syria, A. d. 1890. He was
the prince, or chief, Of sect of the
Mohammedans Having been banished
from his country, he took UP his abode
in Mount Lebanon, gathered around
him band of followers, who soon be-
came the terror alike of Christians,
Jews and Turks. They paid the most
implicit obedience to his commands,
and believed that if they sacrificed
their lives for his sake they would be
rewarded with the highest joys OF par
sadise. For two hundred years these
"Assassins," as they called themselves.
continued to be the terror of the coun-
try. Whenever their chief, the "Old
Man of the Mountain" considered him
self injured, he dispatched some Of his
assassins secretly to murder the ag-
gressor. This is the origin of our use
of the word assassin for secret mur.

why 1t should Always, Accompany tho
Winter Dairy.
There is one thing veryimportant in
the winter dairy, which, perhaps, I
should have placed first and that is
the food of the cows; for, without
something else than hay, you will not
make very fine butter Milk feed and
cornmeal are about the best for yield
and quality, although there are many
other articles of food which will be
useful and contribute to the appe tite
and health of the cattle. The process
for the winter dairy is similar to that
of the summer, with the exception of
the regulation as to the temperature
of room, etc, which is follows: Par
ticular care should be taken not ito let
the milk getcold before placing it in
the dairy room, says an authority, for
should it be completely chilled, the
cream will not rise we'll Add about a
gill of warm water to the sour milk
for each pan, before straining into it,
which will greatly facilitate the rising
of the cream. Keep the temperature
of the room rs near fifty-eight degrees
Fahrenheitas possible andguard against
the air being dry by havlag a small
vessel of water upon the stove, or else
a dry coat will form upon the surface
of the cream The cream should be
kept in a colder place than the dairy
room until the night before churning,
when it might be placed in the warm
room, SO that its temperature shall be
about fifty-eight degrees. The churn
may be prepared by scalding it, and
then reduced to the same Temperature
as the cream by cold water, using the
thermometer as test. This regula-
ton of temperature is Of the greatest
importance; for, should it be too low.
you will be a long time churning and
have poor, tasteless butter; if too high,
the butter will be soft and white. =

HOW = Dollar Vas Lost.

An Old Orchard hotel man, who is
satisfied that he is quite q sport and
always bets on the races, was at trot
at the Saco park the other day. While
the horses were scoring he suddenly
heard gentleman behind him remark
to his companion: I'll bet dollar
with any man that that horse now GO
ing by will come in ahead first In this
heat!'' The hotel proprietor had his
own idea that the horse in question
could not trot little bit and SO he
seized at the bait like a small boy after
a piece of pie. The terms OF the bet
were repeated and the money was
placed in the hands of another party.
When the heat was over the horse had
come in way behind the others, and
the hotel man imagined that he had
won dollar easily Imagine his sur
prise when the other gentleman calmly
remarked, as he pocketed the stakes:
III he had come in tail first or had
fallen and broken his neck, the cash
would have been yours; but as he came
in head first, just as bet he would, the
money is mine!' and he walked away,

himself with the thought that he would
soon have ample revenge.
Since the discovery OF the first theft,
luckily made by himself, he had made
point of being first at HIS place Of
business every morning. and so no one
but himself and the guilty person
knew aught Of the matter.
The morning following the converse
