A Now Source Of Rubber.

The discovery Of new source of La
gos rubber, from tree known to the
natives as the "ire," or ''ireh, has
given q great impetus to the trade Of
the west coast of Africa in rubber of
extremely good quality. The Kicksia
africana forms tree 80 to 60 feet high,
with trunk averaging 10 to IA inches
in diameter. It 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 l5 pounds Of
rubber per tree. For the purpose Of ex-
tracing the rubber deep vertical cut
is made through the bark and several
oblique outs on each side running into
the main channel, at the base Of which
u vessel is placed to receive the exuding
milk. which is coagulated by allowing
a quantity to stand for some days in q
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.

A visitor who recently called to see
General Longstreet at his farm near
Gainesville, Ga, says: II looked for a
large, old fashioned southern place,
with pillars and wide hall. Instead
the house was an ordinary story and a
half farmhouse, such a. northern car
penter might build. A board nailed to
tree offered wine for sale at q very
low price, and saw an extensive vine-
yard across the road. A lean, farmerlike
person told me that General Longstreet
was in his vineyard, and there I came
upon him, scissors in hand, busily prun-
ing his vines. He Is q big old man,
STOPPING a little now and slow Of gait.
He wears long white whiskers. cut away
from his chin. His hair is white as wool,
but his skin il ruddy, a. though sleep
and good digestion were still his to COM
mand. We talked for time about hii
garden and vineyard. i get ont every
afternoon, be said, and work about ]
hnd the sun and air do me good One
of his arms is little disabled, and he
is quite deaf in one ear. He could NOT
hear very we'll in the open air. and al
his suggestion we returned to the house.
I live with my tenant. He is veteran
Of the northern army, he said at the
door. and there was a slight smile about
his eyes. New York Tribune.

Mr.. Dupuis has been familiar figure

known BY the French equivalent Of Tom
Thumb. ON account Of his diminutive
stature. He Ia only 4 feet tall, his wife
standing head and half above him.
This Is the third marriage for Mr..
Dupuis. His second wife has only been

puis having been her servant

Mr.. Dupuis was born near St Johns,
Canada. His parents and three brothers
were Of usual stature and lived to be
very old. In his youth the short French
man was horse jockey and rode some
years in France and England His saw

SHIP CUSHIONS.

Measuring vesseh For Their OutAt-Whaa
Ship Cushions Are Made OF.
When new vessel is ready to be htte0
out with her cushions, she is measured
for them, not as church would be. foi
a certain number Of cushions Of spec
ifled size to supply certain number OF
pews. but every space in which cush-
ion is to be placed separately. On q
large vessel there might be number OF
cushions Of the same dimensions, but
marine architecture Is such that cush-
ions may be required ON the same vessel
in great variety Of forms, and Of vary
ing Dimensions even within given lines,
narrower at one end, for instance, than
at the other. And cushions are made 10
1T around masts, and around the round
ed ends of cabinA and in other spaces
where they must be made in the for1h
Of an arc Of q circle. and ship cushions
are made v shaped and in other shapes
to fit into various hooks and jogs.
All cushions are made with q vertical
front edge. and most Of them are made
with a vertical rear edge, but ship
cushions are often made with rounded
or beveled rear edge to fit handsomely
against the side of the vessel, which
serves az back to the seat, but may
slope away at sharper angle than seat
backs commonly do.
Practically every boat that is set
afloat, whatever she may be, big or lit
tie, is individually measured through
out for her cushions. The same materi-
ais for stuffing cushions that are used
on land are used ON the water-hair,
moss, cotton and SO on-and ship cush
ions are sometimes stuffed with cork
clippings for their buoyant properties.
The materials most commonly used in
covering church cushions are damasks
and reps, the damasks more generally.
The material most commonly used in
covering ship cushions is mohair plush,
which is made IN various colors and
qualities. Leather is also used in cover
ing ship cushions, especially in smok
ing rooms and chartrooms and aboard
yachts, and it costs little, If any, more
than fine quality of mohair plush

A game called poker is charged by
an official of the American Surety COM
pany with responsibility for majority
OF the embezzlements that take place in
the United States. It does not require
any familiarity with the sport mention
cd, which is, we believe, much like
golf. except that the object Is to get
your opponent instead Of ball into the
holes. to justify the belief that the
Surety man confounds effect with cause.

cause they are dishonest, and the par

"Scarcely any object is more conspic-
uous in the summer season than the
awning" said Mr.. Biff]eton. "In none
is our progress in civilization more ap-
parent. Awning stripes are made now
adays in a great variety Of styles and in
various colors and shades of color. It is
quite possible to get an awning to match
building, or one that shall contrast
with it agreeably. I have seen lately
large brownstone building equipped
with awnings having alternate stripes
In two shades Of brown, shading admi-
rably with the stone, the whole produc-
ing massive, harmonious and pleasing
effect. I bave seen buildings of light
oolored bricks with light stone or terra
Gotta trimmings equipped with awnings
In stripes of darker oolors and of some
what fanciful design as to the width
and grouping Of the stripes, giving an
effect somewhat striking perhaps, but
decidedly picturesque.
"The fact is that In the hands Of a
competent person the awning may now
easily be made great embeilishment OF
the building, and properly put up, as
indeed most OF them are nowadays, IL
becomes thing Of beauty and a joy, IL
not forever, at least for the summer
months. ."-Exchange
