The Thrifty Mr.. Turner.

Turner always had a sitting room and
bedroom provided for him at Farnley, and
Mr.. Fawllcs gave orders that he was to be
received in them even if he himself were
absent. This consideration on the part
of Mr.. Fawhcs did not seem to develop
corresponding generosity in Turner. On
one occasion, when Mr.. Fawlles and his
son, Major Fawkos, were going out shoot
ing, they overlook Turner, going out with
u skCtching stool and folio in his hands.
They all walked little way together and
came to place where a dead buck was
lying. The keepers had shot it, and they
and their flrclocks made striking group
Mr.. Fawkes said: Turner, l wish you
would make note of that for me- 1t is
very picturesque" Turner pulled tiny
skctchbook from his waistcoat pocket and
quickly made what Mr.. Fawkes desired
At night Mr.. Fawkes said, mind, Tur-
ner, don't forget to give me the sketch you
made for me today" Long afterward
when Major Fawkes was looking through
his fathers papers after his death, no
found u note which showed that Mr.
Fawkes had paid Turner 10 guineas for
it.-W. L. Lcitch in Athcnaum.

THE CINNAMON TREE.
How the Bark Is Gathered and Prepared
For Use.

How the Bark Is Gathered and Prepared
For Use.
The cinnamon tree grows to height OF
from go to 30 feet and is sometimes 10
inches in thickness The leaves arc from
4 to inches in length, oval shaped
and marked with three principal nerves.
They taste very much like cloves CHINA
mon flowers are of beautiful silky gray
on the outside and light yellow on the
inside. The fruit is a small acorn shaped
drupe and when ripe it is quite brown,
1t is, however, the bark of the CHINA
mon tree that makes it valuable. The
finest comes from the island of Ceylon,
where they have two seasons of cinnamon
harvest The first season begins in April
and tho last in November The branches
of three to five years growth are cut down,
and the epidermis is carefully scraped
away Then the bark is ripped up length
wise with knife and gradually loosened
until it may be easily removed.
The slices of bark are then placed in
the sun to dry, and as they dry they curl
up into quilts. The next thing Is to ex-
anime and arrange the cinnamon accord
ing to it's quality. The persons whose
work it is to examine the cinnamon are
obliged for this purpose to taste and chew
it, although in short time it produces a
very painful effect on their mouths and
tongues
AS the cinnamon quilts are examined
the smaller ones are inserted into the
larger, and the whole is then tied up in
bundles weighing about SO pounds each.
In Ceylon the oil of cinnamon is usual
ly prepared by grinding the coarsest pieces
of bark, soaking this powder in sea water
for two or three days and then distilling.
Two oils pass over, one lighter, the other
heavier than water. -Philadelphia Times
