Peoples Lecture Course.


Those who visited "Shakespeare's
Country" at the Congregational church
last Thursday evening were not disap-
pointed. The interest which attaches to
Shakespeare as poet and dramatist, is not
less when he is studied as a man. The
visit to he scenes in which Shakespeare
moved, gives wider acquaintance than
can be gained simply by reading his
works. II in some respects as man he
is Disappointing, there is no disparaging
the mind which gave such harmonious
expression to beautiful thoughts, and
visiting his country one sees from whence
he drew much Of his inspiration.
The next lecture in the course will be
given Thursday evening of this week,
when NORWAY, the Land of the Mid
night Sum-, will be visited. The travel
ers Will journey from Christiana to the
North Cape. The beautiful mountain and
tiord scenery, the interesting dress and
habits OF the people, make this lecture,
which is repeated by request, one OF the
best OF the many good ones given in Ellis
worth. The lecture closes with a grand
view OF the midnight sun, shining across
the cold waters OF the Arctic ocean.

CANDLES FROM PLANTS.
Vegetables Which Bear Wax and IalloW
Facts About CamphOr.

Facts About Camphor.
Several very curious substances OF
an tnflammable nature are produced
by plants, said naturalist to a Wash
ington Star writer. Many vegetable
species bear wax, which in the form
of minute scales on the surface OF the
plum and other stone fruit makes
what is called the "bloom." 1t ex-
lists so abundantly in the fruit OF
Virginia mytle that the latter mas
received the name Of candle berry"
These berries are collected in great
quantities for their wax and candles
made from them burn with remarka-
BILE brightness and freedom from
smoke, at the same time giving OUT
| a pleasant fragrance. A wax-bearlng
tree exists in South Africa, the ber-
ries of which yield substance which
is made into candles by the Dutch.
There are several species of wax
palms in South America. One OF
them has it's leaves covered with
scales of wax, while the trunk OF an
other kind is covered with the wax as
with a varnish.
A substance very like tallow IS
yielded by tree in China, the seed
vessels of which are hard, brownish
husks. Each of them contains three
round white kernels, about the size and
shape of hazelnuts. These kernels
have small stones inside them, around
which the fatty matter lies. From
the pit of the stone an oil for burn
ing in lamps is pressed. Almost all
the candles used in the south OF
China are made from this vegetable
tallow. A tree abounds on the Nal.
abar coast of India called the "pincy'
which bears PUPPY fruit that yield:
, a great quantity Of solid tallow ap
, preaching wax in flrmness and SUI
/ perior to animal fat for the manu-
l facture Of candles.
Another remarkable infammabl'
substance secreted by plants is cam
3 phor. 1t is chiefly obtained from
species of laurel native to the Eas
: Indies. In preparing it pieces OF tn
roots are put into an iron Vesse
)! tightly covered. When the vessel

a TxnloaI Yew England.

Indian Ridge, says Alvan E. Sanborn,
speaking of typical New England
community III The Atlantic, has all the
defects of all its qualities, and possibly
some others besides 1t is narrowly par
tisan in its politics; gossiping and med
ding in its temper toward matters of
purely private concern; religion, here
as elsewhere, i'll spite of general
wholesomeness, is not entirely free
from hypocrisy, morality from inhu-
manity and self compIacency, integrity
from cruel hardness, nor thrift and fore
sight from parsimoniousness and worry.
1t is very little alive to the finer issues
of country living. Most of them are not
so much as suspected by it. For all the
mutual helpfulness and Astounding sense
Of humor, the life lacks flexibility, mel
lowness, warmth, emotion and emotion
al expression. 1t is indisputably triste.
Nevertheless Indian Ridge exempll-
fies the best tendencies of the New Eng
land country. These tendencies, owing
to its comparative isolation, have been
manifested in unique and homely ways
in some instances, but the tendencies
are none the less sound and healthy on
that account. They are present to a con-
siderable if not an equal degree, not in
ali, not i'll the majority, perhaps. but in
many of the rural communities in every
one of the New England states. If all
instead of small part of these commu-
mites were even thus literally endow-
ed, there could be no plant over the
decadence of rural New England, for
they have i'll them the germs of perma-
nent progress. Rather they are them
selves the very essence of corporate life.
The Brunswick times. [volume] (Brunswick, Ga.) 188?-1900, 1897-05-12
Suicide.

An English statistician says there is
not much of Il psychological mystery in
the fact that SO many more people COM
NIT suicide i'll summer than in winter,
and he does not think that the differ
ence. is i'll any large measure due to the
direct effect of cold upon human minds
and bodies. 1t must be borne in men,
DRY, he says, that drowning is the COM
monest method of self destruction and
resort to it is difficult or impossible
when rivers and ponds are covered with
ice. This accounts for a part of the de-
crease. Another part is explained by
the circumstance that i'll cold weather
people live more i'll association, and
there is thus less opportunity for com
hitting suicide He does not think,
however, that it is possible to explain
the matter wholly without reference to
the depressing effects of cold on the
nervous system and the exciting effects
of heat 1t requires some energy and
determination to commit suicide, and
this is lacking in a person suffering
from extreme cold. All these considera-
tions working together, the result is
that many people endure through the
winter life which they have ceased to
value and throw it away when the sea-
son comes i'll which the material diff
culties i'll the way of continued exist
ence are at their minimum.
