some Curious Trees.

There are many vegetable wonders
in this world of ours. Certain tropical
trees furnish clothes a we'll as food.
and the inner bark Of others il smooth
and flexible enough for writing paper.
The bread tree has Il solid fruit. a little
larger than a %cocoanut. which when cut
in slices and cooked cal scarcely be
distinguished from excellent bread.
The weeping tree Of the Canary Isl
andS is wet. ever in a drought constant,
~ distilling water in its leaves. and the
wine tree of Mauritus Island furnishes
good wine instead OF water. \ kind Of
ash in Sicily has a sap which hardens
into sugar and is used as such by the
natives without any refining. The
product of the wax tree in the Andes
resembles beeswaX very closely. Then
there is the butter tree of Africa, when
produces as much as a hundred pounds
at once, only 10 be renewed in a few
months. This secretion when hardened
and sailed is difficult 10 distinguish
from fresh. sweet butter. Closely rival
ing this is the milk tree of South Amer
lea. the sap Of which resembles ricl
cows milk and is used as such by the
natives. China can boast of a soap
tree. the seeds Of which. when used as
a produce strong suds and remove
dirt and grease readily. In direct OPP
position 10 these useful trees is The
man-eating plant Of the tropics. which
resembles Venus fly-trap in its nature.
II has a short. thick trunk armed witO
narrow. flexible. barbed spiIes.

Hints for ~Dyspeptics.

Some trusting soul has written 10 the
secretary Of the Anti-Sedentary Club
10 know how 10 cure dyspepsia. His
reply may do suffering thousands good:
Never eat a meal when you are tired.
Either sit down or lie down ten or tf-
teen minutes 70 rest before eating. If
YOU have been walking or doing any
thing Of an exciting nature. Half Of
the cases of dyspepsia are due 10 ner-
vouS debility. Eggs. if eaten three
times a day for any length Of time. will
produce biliousnc>> and often dyspep-
STA. Never 90 70 bed with cold feet.
Gentle exercise before retiring is cou-
ducive 10 sweet slumber ana a healthy
digestion. Exercise 4 little before
breakfast. and never eat oatmeal with
sour cream. Avoid >timulantS. tor
they only give Il false appetite and no
relief. Do not swallow hastily ice wa
ter. Better not use ice water at all.
Never eat in 4 hurry. Avoid quick
lunches. Exercise moderately every
day in the open air and healthy digeS-
ton Will drive away dyspepsia. These
are the hygienic rules Of the club
New York Commercial Advertiser.

the obvious reason that he is hampered

There are only COO minutes in =

those minutes to each client or patient

Nothing can alter this law. while

Special Pins for Insect Collectors

pins used in fastening the specimens
in insect collections. For cheap collec'
tions of butterflies and bugs w USE
the ordinary brass pins mostly, but ev'

amined before impaling the insect td
see that il is Well timed. for were the
tin coating Imperfect or the slightest
flaw evident, il would be. IN nine cases
~ of ten. liable to oXidiZe in the body
OF the insect, and thus destroy ii. We
also use black vanished pins. but they
are almost as bad. for the glazed coat
ing soon cracks. leaving the metal eX'
posed, and consequently it is not very
long before oxidation sets in. Even
he more expensive kind, the nickel
plated pins are not much better. Inc
latest things We have now are solid
silver pins and bronze pins. and there
is being used as an experiment a nickel
and aluminium alloy which possesses
decided advantages over all the othey
kinds used"

The system OF retribution established
on this earth is almost enough to shake
u faith in the necessity OF future
punishment. For instance, the man
who drinks TOO much IS afflicted with
disease that forbids his drinking at all.
the miser who saves too diligently is
unable to enjoy the possession OF yell
low gold. Here is Mrs. Green. men
toned several times a day by newspa-
pers as the richest omar in America.
She travels about from one wretched
abode 10 another. fearing the plots Of
prisoners and other evil things. Her
millions lie and rust. Her life is a
nightmare. Look from her 10 the Ba-
roncSs Burdctt-Coutts. There is a
woman whose mind is forever looking
for useful ways of getting rid OF her
money. She gives il 10 ~life-saving sta
tons. builds poor-houSes. encourages
the breeding Of high-crade goats that
the poor may have milk. and looks on
money only a a machine for doing
good. No dreams Of poison disturb
her. She does not imagine that men
are trying to throw pieces Of wood on
her from windows. Virtue is indeed
we'll rewarded.

ROthschili'S RetOrf

of the island Of Tahiti, and sarcastical-

Derby. Conn. has a most inconsider-

night and made all sorts Of trouble.
Among other things il walked up John
Counors and told him that his aun was
dying and wanted TO see him. Then
il hustled him six miles through the
snow. clad only in his night robe. From
the standpoint Of the ghost this may
have been all right. but it is not re-
garded a. a proper proceeding 10y 9th
ers. No ghost of standing in the com
munity would call for a man under
such circumstances without providing
him with fur> and good warm boots.
1t is an imposition 70 DO anything else,

secularlzing and denorahzins tendencies
OF which d petition was also made 10 the
mayor and city council
Two papers were read before the associa-
ton on the attitude that Christian nations
should adopt toward Armenia and Cuba.
The first one, having reference 10 Arme-
MA. was BY Rev. j. y. Smith, who sad
that II was not always wise for Christian
nations 10 Interfere in the affairs OF an
other nation, but IN this case il was proven
that the people Of Armenia had been cruelty
that they seemed unable 10 protect them
selves, and therefore there should be no
hesitation on the part OF Christian nations
as 10 the course 10 be pursued. Within
the present half century no fewer than
10000 Armenians had been cruelty slaugh-
tered by the Turks. with the consent and
approval Of the Turkish government. Tur-
key deserved but one fate--total destruc-
ton and obliteration from the map OF the
world
The second paper. as 10 Cuba, was by
Rev. W. NJ HOWE. and held that the at
titude OF Christian nations 10 that strug-
Cling dependency of Spain should be such
as to encourage her TO secure political
freedom and independence. The infu-
ence OF the religious system Of the mother
country was not favorable to the highest
development OF Cuba, and 1t did not seem
to be either for the best interests Of Spain
or Cuba that the old relationship should
longer exist.
The association passed resolutions COM
mend,ng the attitude taken by the IHo
gentlemen.
