A New Source Of Rubber.

The discovery Of new source of La
gos rubber, from tree known to the
natives as the 'tire,' or ''ireh," has
given great impetus to the trade of
the west coast of Africa in rubber Of
extremely good quality. The Kicksia
africana forms tree 90 to 60 feet high,
with trunk averaging l2 to IA inches
IN diameter. 1t is said to be one Of the
most beautiful trees of the forest and is
capable of producing in good season
as much as from 10 to 10 pounds Of
rubber per tree. For the purpose Of ex-
tracting the rubber deep vertical cut
is made through the bark and several
oblique cuts on each side running into
the main channel, at the base of which
vessel is placed to receive the exuding
milk, which is coagulated by allowing
quantity to stand for some days in a
cavity made in the trunk of tree, so
that the watery portion evaporates or
soaks into the wood, leaving the solid
portion behind, which is kneaded and
pressed together into solid mass, or
the milk is placed in vessel and boil
ed, the rubber beginning to coagulate
almost Immediately heat is applied -

Customs In Hungary.

At the beginning of the century the
magnats, or higher aristocracy Of Hun
gary, lived in semiregal luxury.
Their official court dress. which is quite
oriental in its richness and splendor,
alone recalls the feudal period of the
Hungarian aristocracy. Their country
chateaux are lordly in nothing but,
their hospitality. If stranger drives
up in his carriage to the entrance door
of Hungarian chateau, Immediately
and before any questions are asked con-
cerning the visitors business, even be-
fore the master of the house has made
his appearance, a legion of servants
rush forward and carry the VISITORS
baggage to one Of the half dozen rooms
always ready to receive guests, invited
or otherwise. Twelve O'Clock is the
usual time for dinner, and four or FIVE
empty seats are always prepared for
guests who might arrive. When the
Hungarians wish to honor more partic-
ularly guest, succession of Is or 30
courses are served at dinner, but as the
Magyars have in everything the ut
most respect for individual liberty, no
guest is ever pressed to eat or drink
After dinner guests and hosts take a
long drive over the estates of the cha
teau or pay visit to the neighboring
castle. If it is Sunday, visit is
made to the nearest village, where q
peasant country dance is III full swing.
Supper at the chateau takes place be-
tween and 8, after which u dance is
given or whist party is indulged in.
The next morning everything is silent
in the bouse until 10 o'clock. Much
as in England and Scotland, break.
fast is taken when one pleases, at nc
fixed hour. During the whole morning
the noble owner of the mansion is ex.
tremely busy. The upper Hungarian
aristocracy still manage the business
details of their estates themselves, and
as may be imagined, this is no small
| work, since many of these domains art
larger than some petty German states

Antiquity Of the Pipe.

several other herbs and of these four
have been definitely identified by Mr..
McGuire. This news upsets the long ac-
cepted theory that the practice of smok-
ing was invented by the American alb

the world until after the landing Of
Columbus.

over 90 minutes to catch train at Can

In ordinary circumstances she ought
to have done the journey very comfort
ably had she taken hanson, but. hav-
ing some luggage. she selected "growl-
er," and, as is often the case, the lat
ter was behind very poor horse.
Having told the jehu that she had to
reach Cannon Street station in 30 min
utes. off the vehicle started.
They had barely got 100 yards, how
ever, before she put her head out of the
window and requested the driver to
whip the horse or otherwise she would
miss the train. The cabby did SO.
A little farther on she asked him to
again administer the whip, as the cab
was only just moving, and she added:
Cant you hit him on the head or
some tender part SO as to wake him up
q bit?"
The cabby stopped the vehicle and
looking at the young lady exclaimed in
manner peculiar to cabbies:
