SOME CURIOUS TREES.

There are many vegetable wonders in this
world of ours. Certain tropical trees furnish
clothes as we'll as food. and the inner bark
of others is smooth and flexible enough for
writing paper The bread has solid fruit
a little larger than a cocoanut, which, when
cut in slices and cooked. can scarcely be dis
tnguished from excellent bread. The weep
ing tree OF the Canary Islands is wet,even in
drought constantly distiiing water in it's
leaves, and the wine tree of Mauritius ISL
and furnishes good wac instead os was--s
A kind Of ash in Sicily has sap which hard
ems into sugar and is used as such by the ma
tives without any refining. The product of
the wax tree in the Andes resembles bees
wax very closely. Then there is the butter
tree of Africa. which produces as much as a
hundred pounds at once, only to be renewed
in a few months. This secretion, when hard
ened and salted. is difficult to distinguish
from fresh, sweet butter. Closely rivaling
this is the milk tree of South America, the
sap Of which resembles rico cows milk and
is used as such by the netives. China can
boast of a soap tree, the seeds of which when
used as soap produce strong suds and re-
move dirt and grease rapidly. In direct OPP
position to these useful trees is the man
eating plant of the tropics, which resembles
Venus 'sIy-trap in its nature. 1t has short

mons today to the inquiry OF Mr.. john
stone as to whether any provision would
be made by the Government for the re-
lief of Lady Thompson ana the junior

Lady Thompson ana her children in

the deceased statesman had rendered to

Master Workman Sovereign, of the

the purpose Of attending meeting of

This Is especially true" he continued,
"of the National District Assembly OF
Garment Workers, which Is rapidly grow

Speaking of the United Mine Workers,
MIR. Sovereign said:-"They will form a
new district of the knights of Labor.
A majority of the United Mine Workers
side with the Knights, those in the South
having oalled convention to organize
a X. Of l.. district. Indeed. I have calls
for organizers from all over Ohio, Him
ois and Pennsylvania"
Mr.. Sovereign said the knights of
Labor are fighting the Carlisle bond
scheme.
we oppose it, said he, because we
believe it saddles an increased burden
on productive labor. The same persons
who have been clamoring for the bond
issue asked for a repeal of the purchas-
ing clause of the Sherman act as a
panacea for all our ills, but relief failed
to come"
FIAT MONEY.
What. then. do you advocate?" was
asked.

issues of greenbacks. If money is fat,
bonds are fiat. All rests upon the honor
Of the Government. If bond can be
made good as they claim, that is, abso-

on the strength of the bond. then 1t
holds good that fiat money can also be
issued, for money is no more fiat than
the bond itself"
