THE Tai!oW Tree.

Our foreign consuls quite frequently
send home curious and interesting ac-
counts of the things which come under
their observation while in line Of duty.
These articles, valuable from several
points of view, are never seen by one in
each 10000 of our population, because
the documents in which they appear, be-
ing classed with other government
publications" are seldom consulted.
In this way much that is interesting
and valuable to the scientist and general
reader is overlooked. For an instance,
the descriptions of the curious vegetation
Of China, especially the "tallow tree. -
This tree is the Stillingia sebifera of the
botanist, the root of which produces oil,
the bark the famous ''rice paper" and
the berries tallow. The greasy berries
are of light scarlet and resemble those
Of the coffee of commerce, both in size
and color. In preparing the tallow the
beans or berries are first steamed and
then pounded in order to separate the
mesocarp from the kernels.
This pulp is then placed in bamboo
seine and the mealy portions separated
from the hulls, the tallowy substance
having the oil expressed from it in large,
primitive wooden presses, while the chaff
or hulls are converted into fuel. The oil
thus obtained is used for oil stoves, light
ing purposes, etc. The whole tree from
root to leaf is ssurcharged with oleaginous
matter, and broken limbs and abrasions
in the bark have been known to exude
pure oil for days in succession,-St. Louis
Republic.

AMBITION AND ITS RESULTS.
Aspire to be Good and Life Will be Worth
Living.

The dictionary defines the word Am
bition as, ''desirous fsuperiorlty.' It's
desire that is inherent in us all, and
only awaits development to help us to
make our mark in the history of the
world. A man who has no ambition
in life, has but little worth living for.
No matter how humble his walk in
life may be, he may have a laudable
ambition to vice superior to his sur

have had ample proof of this, and we
woald be more than brutes, if we did
not appreciate it, But even if you are
the most unlucky among the many
unfortunate, and know of no human
soul who loves you, there is still one
who calls you by loving names, one
whose love knows no boundary Jesus

ITO BE CONTINUED.)

1t NAV seem to some of us that we
have little to be thankful for; that our
lot justifies anything else but thanks;
and as it is part Of ma nature TO
be ungrateful, tkeA outside world may
perhaps look upon the conVict's thanks
as the rankest kind Of hypocrisy. CT
simply as a pueri.e attempt at satire.
Curses is the appropriate language OF

foreign to his tongue as Greek to
Chinaman: this seems to be settled
fact with good many people.

Wet. Why not my brother? Turn
your eyes away from your own per
vprted nature, and raise your head
from the clay aud search for mo
ment the past and present of your own
life, and | have no doubt but you will
| find something for which you ought to
return thanks to a mercifu and all
wise providence.
No living creature has any just cause
why it should be ungrateful; but the
trouble is that we rarely know how to
appreciate the good things which are
bestowed upon us, and therefore have
wise men found it necessary to set
day for the sole purpose of reminding
us Of our plain duty-to return thanks
, unto Him who is the author of every

beach by a horse. also saw a large

country is level, though we'll sprinkled
with groves, market gardens, and

blOuses, and women in the fields, and
you also have glimpse Of the histori'

DIR. +. Dupont, formerly OF Paris, France,

DIR. Dupont has volunteered to
give The NEWS his services to attend the

The NEWS Bread Fund.
DR.. Dupont, who speaks the best Of
English, is physician in regular prac-
tice, a graduate from Canadian Colleges
and Hospitals, and holds the gold medal
of the Lavalle Institute of Montreal.
Recognizing the fact that, with all the
liberality and self sacrifice which the
present times invites, there are still many
poor and suffering who stand in need Of
medical attendance, THE News has ac-
cepted Doctor Dupont's offer.
To all who will present their case at
THE NEWS Office,7 Weybosset street, or
at THE NEWS Olneyville Bureau, Room /,
