MILK TREES.
South American Shrubs Which Produce
Lactescent Fluids.

South American Shrubs Which Produce
Lactescent Fluids.
DIR. Spruce, the renowned South
American traveller, mentions tree, a
member of the dog bane family, the
Juice of which is us as milk. On the
bark beinr wounded the milk flows
abundantly, and is of the consistency
of cows milk, of the purest white, and
sweet to the taste. The Indian mode
of taking it is to apply the mouth
directly to the wound, and thus re-
ceive the milk as it flows. DIR. Spruce
says he has often partaken of it with
out experiencing any i'll effects.
In Guiana, the natives employ the
milk from tree belonging to the same
family as the last named, in the ver-
nacular it is known as hyahya, and to
botanists as Tabernaemontana utilis
$50 named after Jacobus Theodorus
clan and botanist). The milk has the
same flavor as sweet cows mi k, but is
rather sticky, on account of its con-
tanning some caoutchouc.
In Para, lofty tree, belonging to
the star apple family, attaining a
height of one hundred feet, is used in n
similar manner to the others men
toned Incisions are made in the
bark, and the milky juice flows out
copiously, about the consistence of
thick cream, and If it were not for its
taste, which is somewhat peculiar,
could be hardly distinguished from it

vbv some Women Grow Old.


One reason why the average woman
wears out, grows old and plain before
her husband, is that through mis-
taken idea of duty she lays out for her
self at the beginning of her married
life a scheme or plan of duty and en-
ployment for her time every hour filed
with rare and short periods for relaxa- =
tion. This she follows religiously for
wears, feeling that she has done her
duty, because every household event
occurs regularly and on time, while
she soon becomes a machine, a thing
without life of itself or volition. She
settles into her rut and goes round and
round on the same track everlastingly.
Can any woman keep brightness, origi-
nality of thought and speech, or even
mere prettiness. with such a life, and
without those things how can she keep
her husband and growing children full
CT the loving admiration which is the
strongest chain by which she can bind
them to her? How bright and jolly the
neighbor's wife seems when she calls.
In nine cases out of ten it is because the
surroundings and talk of your home are
variety to her. and rouse her to origi-
nality and brightness of speech. IL
her own rut she may be as dull as ditct
water.-Donahoe's Magazine.
