The TaIlOw 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 q 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 a 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 surcharged 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.

Il DEFINITION OF COMMON SENSE

People who value themselves on
living vigorously by common sense,
and people who value themselves on
living superior to it, are alike apt to
regard it as little more than a sort of
brute instinct. Yet even in the things
that engage attention most common
ly, the sense is brought out, if not
actually begotten, only by long
course of education. Thus, before it
can compass SO obvious bit of wis
dom as that, one must be at the station
in time if one would not miss the train,
term longer than the term of a col
lege must be spent in fruitful study.
AS the study is done with none of the
familiar pains of study, and in the full
ardor and joy of infancy-by explor-
ations and experiments undertaken,
apparently, in the idlest of play; by
questions that to the tired and con-
founded mother who is asked to ans
wer them seem nothing but a wanton-
ness-we hardly realize that it is still
study, and that the fruits of it still are
education. But no less is the fact; and
in way, no man is uneducated. Our
phrase, ga plain, commonsense man"
carries only by convention it's dispar-
aging implication. What it rightly
means is man whose experience and
observation, as far as they have gone,
have educated him, have brought him

Mrs. Kate Moynihan, police matron
at Holyoke, Mass, makes some re-
marks in a recent issue Of True Light,
published in Holyoke, that are of in
terest to all thoughtful women:
81 have had charge of nearly 800
women, some criminals, but the ma
jority were more unfortunate than
vicious. Many of them knew years
ago, good, Industrious girls, who mar
ried shiftless, drunken husbands, and
who have to work year after year in
the mills to earn a living for their
helpless little ones. In time their
health fails, they lose strength and
courage, they are told that glass of
ale will brace them up; they soon
need more than one glass, and before
long they are drunkards, too. What
then becomes of the poor children?
Is it any wonder that so many OF them
soon show the effects of such example
and eventually find homes in our re-
formatories?''
