A Winter Bath
in White River
WHAT CAME OF BREAKING THROUGH THE ICE
In A WISCONSIN RIVER In FEBRUARY.
From the Chronicle, Chicago, III

Five years ago last. winter, there was
considerable commotion on the banks of
the White River, Wisconsin, as a young
man named f. N. Halleck, had broken
through the ice, and was for some mo-
ments lost to view. 1t was not long, how
ever, before Mr. Halleck came in sight
again, and by artistic means was fished
from the fluid and restored to society. If
the ducking had been all, ii would have
been well, but unfortunately, the young
gentleman contracted a heavy cold, re-
sulting in chronic rheumatism, compli-
Gated with disease of kidney and urinary
organs.
ssFor six MONTHS" writes Mr.. Halleck,

Grabs Foretell Earthquakes.

For some time previous to the day
upon which the great Chilian earth
quake of August, 1857, occurred. great
swarms of crabs of an unknown variety
were seen in the Bay of Payta. They all
appeared to be greatly excited. and were
literally climbing over each other in their
efforts to escape the impending calamity.
How they knew that the earthquake
was collecting it's strength to desolate
the coast is more than man can say; but
that they knew something unusual was
about to happen there is no doubt what
ever. That there we're millions of them
may be inferred from the report of DR..
Forbes, who says that ten days after
the earthquake the dead crabs were
thrown upon the beach in wall-like
line three to four feet wide along the
whole extent of the bay."-Science Sift-

THE TRAVELLERS TREE OF
MADAGASCAR.

The tree is exceedingly curious as we'll
as useful. 1t rises from the ground with
a thick stem like that of plantain;
from the center of this stem it sends out
long, broad leaves, twenty to twenty
four in number. the stalk of each leaf
being six or eight feet long, and the
broad leaf itself from four to six feet
more. These bright green leaves are
spread out like an immense fan. at the
top Of trunk thirty feet high.
When the stem attains the height of
ten or twelve feet. the lower part of the
outer covering becomes hard and dry
like the bark of the cocoanut tree.
In the fan-l like head of the travellers
tree there are usually three or four
branches of seed pods; when the seed
vessels, of which there are forty or fifty
on each branch. are ripe they burst open,
disclosing thirty or forty more seeds.
shaped very much like small bean. but
enveloped in fine silky fiber of the
most brilliant blue or purple color.
If you strike some sharp instrument
four or five inches deep into the thick.
firm end of the stalk of leaf, about six
inches above its union with the trunk, a
stream of pure, clear water will gush
forth. The reason for this is, that there
exitss sort of natural cavity or cistern
at this point, and the water that has
been cooled on the broad, ribbed surface
of the leaf flows down groove or spout
on the upper side Of the stalk into this
curious reservoir.
In Madagascar, as some eminent trav-
eler remarked. it might aptly be named
the "builder's tree" Ga the eastern
side of the island all the houses are
matched with these broad, strong leaves;
the stems are used to form the partitions,
and often the sides OF the house them
selves. The hard, outside bark is stripped
from the inner and soft part, and having
been beaten out fat, is laid for flooring.
Sometimes the entire floor of large
dwelling is covered with this bark. each
piece being one foot and half wide and
from twenty to thirty feet long.
When green. the leaf is used as
wrapper for packages, and seems to be
waterproof.
If you should walk through the mar
kets early in the morning you would see
large piles Of leaves that quickly disap-
peared as soon as the people began to
flock in to make their purchases. These
leaves are sold to serve the purpose of
taolecloth. dishes. plates, and when
folded into certain forms are used in
stead of drinking vessels at meals
This is certainly wonderful tree. and
one that meets a variety of require
ments.- Lizzie d. Almond, in Every

WHERE MOTHER is.

In the crimson and gold of the setting
The white little lambs DER the meadows
run;
And the birds wing their way to the
sweet home-nest,
Where is waiting the one that loves them
best,
There's voice in the breeze that goes
wandering by
And whisper that falls from the deep
ening sky;
Oh. the mother heart calls to each weary
rover,
And where mother is, home is, the wide
world over.
Wis the song of the brook on its silvery
way,
The crickets have chirped it with darken-
ing day;
And the first pearly star in the azure
dome
Seems to whisper a message sweet of
home.
In the bud and the leaf and the slumber
ing flower
There's a thought of the peace OF the
rest giving hour,
When the mother-heart calls to each
weary rover,
And where mother is, home is, the wide
world over;
Now the brown bees have ended their
day-long quest,
The butterflies folded their wings to
rest;
And the tinkle of lights in the cottage
Tell Of joy that has blessed the hearth
again.
And read in the eyes of the little ones
sweet.
In the shouts of delight and the pattering
feet,
Oh, the mother-heart calls to each weary
rover,
And where mother is, home is, the wide
world over

TEN FINGERS.

With a cute little trot
Went a brown little tot,
Ger bubbling and growing with glee,
And up to her throat
Came a wee furry coat.
And hugging her tight as could be-
In her pink little hand
Was finger and tanned
Quite dark-or at least, so / thought
But twas papa's, and SO
She just clasped it as though
Great fingers too rarely are caught.
And fingered and walked
On behind as they talked
And laughed; and l envied the coat
The brown one so snug
And / envied the hug
That it gave from her heels to her throat
Then / looked at my own
Biggish hands that have known
So little of love's wholesome clasp,
And behold, there are ten
Lonesome fingers, but then
What tot would one of them grasp?

CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO

Having met with the highest sue
cess in the manufacture and sale of
the excellent liquid laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, it has become import
ant to all to have knowledge of the
Company and its products. The
great value of the remedy as medi-
cinal agent, and of the Company's
efforts, is attested by the sale of
millions of bottles annually and by
the high approval of most eminent
physicians.
The California Fig Syrup Co. was
organized more than twelve years
ago, for the special purpose of
manufacturing and selling laxative
remedy. which would be more
pleasant to the taste and more bene-
fetal in its effects than any other
known. In the process of manufact-
uring, figs are USED, as they are
pleasant to the taste, and healthful
in their tendencies, but the medicinal
properties of the remedy are obtained
from an excellent combination OF
plants known to be incidentally lax
alive, and to act most benefcially.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then
laxative or other remedies are not
needed. If afflicted with any actual
disease one may be commended to
the most skillful physicians, but if
in need of laxative, then one
should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stands highest and is most
largely used and gives most general
satisfaction.
