The Japanese Wax Tree.

Japan wax" as it is called, is OBJ
tanned from a tree, Rhus succedanea,
which is found in Japan, China and
throughout the East Indies in general.
In the japanese language it is called
haze or haze. The tree commences to
bear fruit when five or six years old.
and increases its product every year, till
at the age of fifty years single tree will
produce $50 to 400 pounds of berries,
from which seventy to eighty pounds of
wax can be obtained.
The wax is formed in the middle Of
the berry, between the skin and the
seed, like the pulp of a grape. 1t is ex-
tracted by boiling the berries in water
and allowing it to cool, when the wax
separates from the skin and seed, sink
ing to the bottom Of the vessel in a solid
cake. The specific gravity Of this wax
is O.970, and its melting point 13l dogs.
Fahrenheit. 1t is largely used, either
alone or mixed with tallow, by the Chi
nese in the manufacture of candles.
This tree should not be COMPOUNDED

has pith of solid tallow in all trees that
have fully naturalist. Louis Repub-

over soiled shirt bosom, from the meet

How Some Seeds Travel.

The most curious provision possessed
by seeds for self dissemination is the
Microscopic avn. In the wild oat (avena
fatua), for example, there is attached to
the glumelia "a small, leafy structure
connected with the seed), Il spiral avn
covered with humorous fine hairs, and
this avn has the power of expanding
when moist and Of contracting when dry.
Thus the attached seed is constantly
on the move with the changes in the
weather, the hairs clinging to any object
met with, until termination or destruc-
ton puts an end to its motion.
The seed of barley, too, is provided
with q similar avn, which is furnished
with minute teeth that point toward it's
apex. The seed, when lying on the
ground, naturally expands with the
moisture of the night and contracts with
the dryness of the day, but, as the teeth
prevent its moving toward the point of
the avn, all motion must be in the di-
rectiOn of the base Of tie seed, which
lllthus travel many feet from the parent
stalk.

An Admiral's Dilemma.

An old admiral, whose long sea service
had given his legs a decided outward
curvature, once had a singular adventure
on this account with ships pet. The
crew of the ship owned a large black
spaniel, and took great pains in teaching
him to jump. A man, standing up,
would put one foot against his other
knee, thus making hole for Nep, the
dog, to make his leap through. The dog
always jumped through the aperture
readily, though if his trainers legs hap
pened to be short, it was sometimes a
rather tight squeeze.
One day the admiral came aboard
from the flagship on visit of inspec-
ton. Happening to walk to the forward
part of the ship he stood there for few
minutes conversing with the officer who
had attended him. Here he was spied
by the dog. Nep stood a moment sur
veying the admiral's bowlegs. Suddenly
the dog made rush at the legs and a
mad leap through the tempting gap. In
establishment at the black tornado that
had passed beneath him the admiral
whirled quickly about to see what was
the cause. The dog took this action as
a signal for an "encore," and jumped
again. Once more the admiral turned,
and again the dog jumped. The bewil-
dered face of the admiral and the seri-
Gus attention Of Nep to what he mag
ined was his business were too much for
the gravity of the bystanders, and, for
getting the respect due to rank, they all
roared with laughter.
A sailor, however, had enough pres
ence of mind to break from the crowd
and catch the dog by the collar. He led
him off, and as he did so Nep seemed to
wonder why he did not receive the praise
due to such spirited efforts. The ex
cited admiral got but an imperfect ex-
PLANTATION Of the affair from the specta-
tors, for they could hardly tell him that
his legs had been used as kind of circus
hoop by a forecastle dog. Perhaps to
his dying day the occurrence was mys-
terry to him.-San Francisco Argonaut.

CarIy,e,s Opinion of Washington.

sweeping assertion made no exception in
behalf of Emerson, who perhaps bored
him more than he dared acknowledge
with his transcendentalism and illusions
Of the lover soul" But one might have
thought that he would have spared
Washington. Far from that, we find
him pleasantly remarking at some grand

presence, must have done much to re-
move the imputed odium from his

tice and fairness to the consumer
would demand that the manufacturers
be obliged to submit to such a readiust-
ment and modification of the tariff
upon their finished goods as would Sc
cure to the people the benefit of the re-
duced cost of their manufacture, and
shield the consumer against the exac-
ton of inordinate profits.
1t will thus be seen that free raw
materials and just and fearless regu-
lation and reduction of the tariff to
meet the changed conditions would
carry to every humble home in the
land the blessings of increased COM
fort and cheaper living.
The millions of our countrymen who
have fought bravely aud well for tariff
reform should be eXko1ted to continue
the struggle, boldly challenging to
open warfare and consta utly guarding
against treachery and half-hearted-

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 81. - The

afternoon, bringing the following let

''No United States war ship has yet
arrived to replace the Philadelphia.
The Champion has been away for tar
get practice, but is now anchored out
side waiting for the Hyacinth to leave
here. This harbor is without a war
ship for the first time in nineteen
months. This has not caused the least
uneasiness or apprehension of disorder.
The difficulty created recently by a
refusal to take the required oath by
most of the native jurymen was soon
removed by large numbers of compe-
tent natives volunteering to serve in
their places.
Registration is actively progressing
at all election districts except in Homo.

taking the oath throughout the islands.
Ex-State Senator Gilman, of Boston,
has been touring through the group
and questioning natives, whose Ian
guage he is familiar with, having
formerly resided here twenty years.
He has published statement of the
result of his inquiries in which he
says:

a Worry Cute Trick that Failed to Work
The Defendant In q Divorce Suit Tries to
Fool Witness as to His Identity-Recog.
nized by His Wife, Is Exposed and Beats
Hasty Retreat.
HASTINGS, Neb., Aug. 31.--One of the
most singular court scenes was wit
messed here yesterday in the taking OF
testimony in the divorce suit of Mrs.
Richard B. Sheridan, of st. Louis,
against her husband, who is a promi-
nent member of the Merchants ex.
change of that city. Mrs. Sheridan is
suing for divorce in St. Louis, alleging
that her husband has been living on
one of his ranches near Blue Hill, this
state, in adultery with st. Louis in
amorata named Nellie Donnelly.
Mrs. Sheridan mistrusted her hus-
bands honesty when every Saturday
night for nearly year he went away
to see how the crops were looking.
She eventually satisfied herself that he
was in company with another woman
at these times, and made an investiga-
ton. She found her husband com
fortably installed in a new house
which he had built at Blue Hill. with
the Donnelly woman. Her divorce
suit followed.
While the testimony was being taken,
an incident occurred which had a de-
nouement altogether unexpected by
the chief actor. Just as Mr.. Bowers
was in the act of identifying a photo
graph of Sheridan there came a sharp
rap upon the door, and the attorney add
mitted Mr. Sheridan. His mustache
bod hDa -l l.
explain that he was an attorney acting
in behelf of Mr.. Sheridan, who was in
st. Louis and could not be present, and
that he would like to talk over the
case.
Mrs. Sheridan recognized her hus-
bands voice, and lost no time in com
ing forward and presenting her sur
prlsed spouse to the lawyer. Sheridan
was considerably nonplussed at this
unexpected turn of affairs, and per-
mitted himself to be led forward and
introduced to Mr.. and Mrs. Bowers,
hotel keepers. with whom he had
stayed several times.
He submitted to the ordeal as grace
fully as possible under the circum-
stances. and was Immediately recog-
nized as Mr.. Spencer" by the hotel
keepers. But when his wife coolly in
quired if he was not glad to renew his
acquaintance with his former hosts his
patience forsook him and. grabbing his
hat, he hastily made his exit.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sheridan are well
known in st. Louis. He is prominent
on change, where he has made and
lost two or three fortunes.
Mrs. Sheridan is the daughter of
Capt. James a. Guion, who was for
thirty years or more connected with
the Virgins Ferry Co. In her plea for
alimony Mrs. Sheridan alleges tina;
her husband is worth $4,000.

King Malietoa Appeals to the Foreign Con-
suls for Aid In Putting Down Rebellion
A Running Fight with the Rebels. who
Finally Offer to Capitulate-A Peace
Patched Up, Followed by More Fighting
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 31.-The United
Press correspondent at Apia. Samoa,
writing under date of August Is, per
steamer Mariposa, which arrived yes
terday afternoon, says:
Since the last mail the forces in arms
have not been entirely idle. and events
have been of an interesting character.
About fortnight ago the rebels de-
stroyed the houses of the government
supporters at the Talealili. The suf-
ferers subsequently made their way to
the homes of the depredators and
killed six men, beheading them and
bringing their ears to Apia.
Chief Justice Ide met the party on
its return and expressed great indlgna-
ton that the letter of the anti-decapi-
tation law, which he had promulgated
had not been observed, and he was
anxious for the arrest of the whole
party. The marshal did not share the
judicial view of the matter, however,
and no proceedings were taken.
Early last week King Malietoa adj
dressed a letter to the consular repre-
sentatives stating his incapacity to
preserve law and order in Samoa any
longer, and begging them to interfere.
The naval commanders after consulta-
ton with the consuls agreed to take
matters into their own hands and in
effect declared this to the natives.

A CATTLE QUARANTINE
That Will Enectually Destroy Our Grow
ing Trade with Belgium.

That VIII Ehectually Destroy Our Grow
ing Trade with Belgium.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. 31.-A cable dis
patch from the United States minis
ter at Brussels to the state depart
ment to the effect that an order of
the Belgian government subjects all
American cattle to forty-five days
quarantine, was received yesterday.
An exception is made for cattle en-
route before August 30, but this only
on condition that they be killed at the
public slaughter house on arrival.
DR.. Salmon, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, referring to this
quarantine. said: 1--WE are building
up quite little trade in cattle with
Belgium. a line of cattle ships having
been esta blished between New York
and Antwerp. This order, if carried
out, will effectually destroy this trade.
The alleged cause of these restrictions
is the sickness of some cattle recently
landed from the United States, which
some wiseacre has pronounced to be
contagious pneumonia
