THE COW TREE.
A Vegetable Freak Found In tho Noun

A Vegetable Freak Found In the Noun
tain Region of Vonezuola.
Tho mountain region Of Venezuela Is
tho home Of one OF tho most remarkable
botanical freaks known to grow upon the
American continent. II is a trco which
ilourishcs only upon tho mountain sides,
and always nt the height of about $, 900
fcot above son level. 1t is lofty and slender
for its height and has broad, stiif leaves OF
dusty white color, which give it the ap-
pearanco OF being almost dead. What is
queer nhout this tree with tho tall, slender
trunk and dead looking leaves and
brnnchcsY II Is odd enough. sure, for, al
though 10 Is very stupid looking forest
growth, IL Is known the world over ns tho
"mllk' or "cow troc"-the famous "palo
do vaca, which Humboldt 30 gluwlngly
describes. II Is an evergreen variety, and
those who have used its milk" pronounce
IL perfectly delicious" When tho tray
clcr hunter or native Of the Venozuelnn
mountains IS tired, hungry or thirsty, no
needs but TO cut tho bark of tho cow
tree In order to be rewarded with q copl-
Gus lOw OF this milky sap which is said to
be even sweetcr and richer than tho milk
OF the best high grade Jersey. II collected
In vessels and allowed to stand for some
litto time say from to ~ hours, 10

goes through the process OF rising to tho
top Just as II does In ordinary milk.
At about the time OF sunrise, according
TO Humboldt and other we'll known scion
lists, Is tho hour chosen by those acquaint-
cd with the treo's pccullnrites for tapping
tho bark. At that tlmo the milk is bo-
loved to be moro palatablo and nutritious
than II taken after the sun has boon acting
for somo hours upon the leaves. Attempts
have been made TO cultivate the COW troo
both In Mexico md In the smaller Central
American republics but, so far, all such
innovations have been failures. As soon

even in It's native land, where tho natives
have tried to grow It In tho valleys, 1t

there is as much need Of new woman as OF

the new woman is sure to talk about making
home beautiful. at is her place to make home
beautiful" How often we have heard it. But
of what use is it for woman to make home
beautiful if the man won't stay in it ;? What
is needed is new man to appreciate beauti-
full home, to think more of it than he does of
clubs and saloons and other places. And how
is a woman to make the home beautiful If the
husband spends his substance in riotous livingf
Making the home beautiful requires decent
share of the husbands wages. 1t cannot all
be done on smiles and patience or by trying to
train up the children in the way in which the
father doesn't 60. In this city there are g.

WOMAN'S APPEAL FOR HELP.
BY DOROTHY nOLITlLE,

woMAN's APPEAL FOR HELP
"Then Esther the queen answered and said,
if have found favor in thy sight, o king, and
if it please the king, let my life be given me
at nay petition, and my people at my request"
Esther 7:3.
This was loving woman's earnest prayer:
: "Spare thou my people; shield them from the
tolls
Spread by their foes, their footsteps to ensnare,
That they might fatten on their victims
spoils.
And we are poor weak women, good kind sirs,
Who hurnbly beg you now to interpose
To save our sons and brothers, dear as hers
Who begged their lives, and succor from
their foes.
We know that we are weak had we the power
That you, good sirs, possess, to dare and do,
Our willing hands should quickly build tower
Of refuge for our loved ones, strong and true
But we are weak woman has not sense,
Or strength of mind, with politics to cope.
The Fright of franchise" is the recompense
That crowns mans intellect, the Nations
hope.
We know, good sirs, some with suspicious
minds
: Have darby limited that "a freeman's vote
Is often bought" Good gentlemen, and kind,
We pray you this impertinence do not note
We know that you are wise, that only we
Are weak and silly, therefore be you kind
And help us save our loved ones, for you see,
THEY'RE all the world to us, please bear in
mind.
We know our minds like yours can never soar
Up to those heights where revenue and taxes
Make every other issue bow before
And turn the stone while they grind their
In our poor minds, forgive us if a soul
Endowed by God with endless life should seem
Of far more worth than all our Nations gold
That fills our treasury with its yellow CLEAN
Essential to our best prosperity,
To our weak minds, excuse us, 1T appears
The grdatest debt we owe to our posterity,
And saving them to Danish idle fears.
Good sirs, we cannot do like you and sever
Gods holy word and precepts from Our laws
Our minds were not made great enough. and
never
We greatly fear, could we evade this clause ::
"Woe to him that buideth tower with blood,
And estabisheth city of iniquity."
We with our timid minds should fear flood
Night prove Gods anger and his equity.
And now, kind sirs, our lords and masters, we
Would humble pray you, vote away THIS
scourge,
That like vampire fattens on our lives. See
Humbly but most earnestly this boon we urge
