The Glove Tree.
From the Philadelphia Times.


The Glove tree is a native Of the, Molucca
islands. and belongs to the far-spread fam
lily of myrtles. 1t Is tall. very handsome
evergreen, with Gvate-oblong leaves and
purplish flowers, arranged in corymbs on
short-jointed stalks. The flowers are pro-
duced in great profusion, and when they
appear, which is at the beginning Of the
rainy season, they are in the form of elon-
gated. greenish bulbs. These unexpanded
buds are the cloves Of commerce. which de-
rive their name from the Spanish word
clavo, "a nall" so-caIled from the real, or
fancied. resemblance Of the bud to a nail.
Sometimes the Glove fruit appears in COM
merce in a dried state, under the name of
mother cloves" It has an odor and flavor
similar to cloves, but IL much weaker.
The flower buds are beaten from the tree,
and are dried by the smoke Of wood fires,
and afterward by the sun. II the buds re-

1t further appears that the entire popu-

Our skipper was a man of some IMPORT

shark had jumped for a bluefish as 1t was
hauled into the boat. 1t missed the fish
and its head struck the stern of the dory
with such force as to start the plank ends.
The little boat began to make water rapid

for his schooner. the skipper just managed
to climb on board as 1t sank under him.
