The cream of tartar tree belongs
to the category of plants yielding
ready made products. They are
members of the genus "Adansonia. :"
The height of the tree is from forty
to seventy feet, while the top is over
one hundred and eighty feet across.
A Venetian who has left us the most
ancient description OF the tree, tells
us that in l454 he found one at the
mouth of the Senegal with circum-
ference of one hundred and twelve
feet. The tree is very disproportion-
ate. as may be gathered from the fact
that Gregory-after whom the Aus
tralian species is named-saw one
eighty I've feet in circumference at a
height of two feet from the ground.
The acid is found in the farinacious
pulp surrounding the seed, and has
at all times been highly esteemed by
travellers, who mix it with little
water in order to make refreshing
beverage. The bark OF the tree con
tains a remarkably strong fiber which
in s,me parts is made into ropes, ir
Others woven into cloth. A bitter
principle, to which the name o.
aAdansonin" has been given, is ex
| tracted from the bark. 1t appears II
fine white needles OF a smell similar
to that Of aloes or gentian, and isex
tremely bitter in taste. 1t Is inter
esting from The fact that 1T is tn
only product known up to the pres
ent that has an antagonistic actor
to the Strophanthus arrow-poi,on,
a deadly poisonous seed used by tn
natives on the west and east coast
of Africa, to insure their arrows In
dieting a fatal wound.

Pluck in the race for success has
long since distanced luck. Enterprise
goes forward, with steady tread, and
reaches the goal, while timidly stands
covering before every adverse
wind To appreciate what
pluck, energy and enter
prise has accomplished, a visit to THE
LEADER book bindery will disclose.
Starting not yet year ago, with no
plant, it has gone steadily forward
and overcoming all obstacles it, to- day,
invites competition. There is, in the
cities, no more complete plant, or one
that does better or finer work. 1t is Il
Riehmond in the field, who has come
to stay, and to conquer too, though an
hundred Richards may contend.
The indery is presided over by a
foreman, who is an expert, and who
gives it his closest personal attention.
In THE LEADER plant an actual
working force of twent y-seven is kept
continually busy, and this force repre-
sents weekly pay roll of $500. The
bindery is supplied with the most i'm
y
does turn out, as fine specimens of
work as any bindery in the United
States. One of the great points scored
by it, is that owing to its completeness
and the systematic clock work with
which it is carried On, it can afford to
bid as low as the lowest. The motto
of its proprietors being to make a liv-
ing profit from its patrous and not Il
killing loss to them,
The field of operations of the bind
cry have continually increased, and it
not only bids for work In Oklahoma
Territory land it always bids the
lowest, too,) but its trade extends TO
several of the Southern Kansas coun-
ties. The travelling representative,
Mr. ii. A. Platt, is on the road all the
while, and, owing to strict business
methods, he has been more than sue
cessful The enterprise is only
the nucleus of what its proprie.
tors intend making it. The
field is a large one and they
intend covering it fully. Their enter
prise warrants them in hoping for the
best results. There is no reason for
St Louis and Kansas City houses
doing the work that home enterprise
can do just as well, and possibly bet
ter. The country is increasing every
day interpolation and wealth. and the
demand must perforoe keep pace with
the country's growth.

dertake any character of work, and to
guarantee that 1T will do the work in
such a manner as to please the most
