India Rubber Tree Fruit.

The fruit of the india rubber tree is
somewhat similar To that Of the Rheims
communis, the castor oil plant, though
somewhat larger. The seeds have not
disagreeable taste and yield purplish
oil. 1t is fairly good substitute for
hnseed oil, though it dries less rapidly.
Mixed with copaI blue and turpentine,
it makes good varnish. The oil may
be also used in the manufacture of soaps
and photographic inks. The seeds are
somewhat like tiny chestnuts, although
darker in color. The Indian girls are
fond of wearing bracelets and necklets
made of them.

Beatty's Organs and Pianos.

Hon. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washing
ton, New Jersey, the great Organ
and Piano manufacturer, is building
more Organs and Pianos than ever.
In 1870 Mr.. Beatty left home a pen
niless plow boy, and by his indomit-
able will he has worked his way up
SO as to sell so far, nearly 100000 OF
Beatty's Organs and Pianos since
1870. Nothing seems to dishearten
him; obstacles laid in his way, that
would have wrecked an ordinary man
forever, he turns to an advertisement
and comes out of it brighter than
ever. His instruments, as is well
known, are very popular and are to
be found in all parts of the world
We are informed that during the
next ten years he intends to sell 200,
900 more of his make; that means a
business of $50, ,OOO, 900, if we average
them at 500 each. 1t is already the
largest business of the kind in exist
ence. Write or call upon Daniel F.

In these days of war plays and stage

Glad to SEQ Him.

New members of congress feel shy and
lonesome. To be thrust suddenly in
among almost 400 members, many of
whom they have never seen, and only a
few of whom they have ever heard OF,
is rather a trying experience. To make
a speech under these conditions takes
some courage. James Kerr, ex-member
of congress from Pennsylvania, recently
told of his experience in going into con-
gress for the first time. He came down
from Pennsylvania raw and green. He
sat in his seat for several days, and in
that time managed TO pick mp forma!
speaking acquaintance with one or two
of his neighbors. One day he was sitting
i'll his seat, disconSolate, listening to the
reading of some tiresome bill, when the
member who sat next TO him, who had
served two terms, came in like a breeze
and said cheerily:
Hello, Jim.
Mr. Kerr wheeled in his chair and
said eagerly:
"Say that again, will you, old man?
1t sounds like home. !"
"Weil, Jim, let's go down TO Murray
Vile and talk about home.
The reference to Murrayville is unin-
telligible to the outsider, but Mr.. Kerr
had learned by that time that the name
referred to the house restaurant, where
oysters and the cup that cheers We're tc
be had, and they wended their way
down stairs. New York Tribune.

tank, in the similitude of lalielet.
bordering this sheet of clear water
stood, MS if naturally growing, water
plants, with graceful, dropping leaves,
lilies and iris. These were made to
give an artistic fringe, but not enough
to shut out u view of the laltelet. For
swimming in it was a full-grown swan,
with, proudly arching neck and defiant
eye, king of the pcnt-up waters.
From the edge of the lake to the outer
circumference Of the large oval, i'm
bedded in moss and looking as if they
had always grown there, were potted
plants in blossom, decreasing in height
as they approached the edge. Heavy
with fragrance stood hyacinths and
trailed rose sprays, while the outer cir
Gle consisted entirely of violets. These
ended in half circles, leaving just room
for the plates of the guests. Thus the
entire space was covered with lake
and encompassipg moss and blossoms.
From the edge of the lake rose slender
vine and rose-colored columns, termln-

full!
There was the green girl who only the
other day made something of a sensa-
tion on Twenty-third street, gliding
along in admirably-acted unconscious
ness OF admiring eyes. Her outer linen
was of the thinnest sort. Beneath it
was a green silk foundation so harmon
izing with the Encn that the two pro-
duced the softest simmer of green, like
the translucent depths of the tropic sea.
Nor touch nor bit of other color wore
she, for green were the ribbons at her
throat and waist greenish, if paler, was
the coarse rush-plaited hat, and green
the ribbons and foliage laid upon it.
The skirt was marked by a little drawn
work and embroidery, and the wearer
was aureoled by beautiful blond hair
which never knew the dye, and her
chceks-well, green is beautiful color
when q beautiful woman wears it.
We were talking about commence
ment and college colors. The gowns
most worn have been this year extreme
ly simple in cut, the tendency in nearly
all schools being TO avoid unnecessary
display. The number is considerable
where some attempt at uniformity has
been made if by no more than sashes of
the college colors. Cap and gown have
cEeapness as well as picturesque effect
TO commend them, and | look to see
them adopted in many girls colleges.
ItisnOt inappropriate that commence
ment month should also be the month
of matrimony; the career prepared for
in the lecturc-room begins so often at
the altar. That there should be any
thing new in wedding gowns is hardly
TO be expected. The traditional white
satin and orange blossoms are as safe
from interference as the traditional
tears and kisses; but brocade has been
used oftener than of yore, and in the
robing of the bridemaids all the in
genuity of the modiste is displayed
