About a Wonderful Trce.

Did you ever hear Of tree bearing
glue, towels, cloth, tinder and bread?
There is just such a wonder. 1t is
found On the Pacific islands and it Is
called the bread fruit tree
1t is abont as tall as three story
house and the branches come cut straight
from the tree like so many arms. They
are covered with leaves nearly feet
long and deeply gashed at the edges,
while half hidden among them is the
fruit, growing like apples on short
stems. but larger and having a thick
yellow rind.
This fruit is like bread, and it is in
season during eight months of the year,
the natives finding good living IN 1t.
They gather it while it is green and
bake it III an oven. Scraping eff its
outer blackened crust they come TO the
loaf, which isyery much like nice white
bread.
As Tor glue, il CCzes from the trunk
of the tree and is found useful for many
purposes. The leaves make excellent
towels for the few natives who care TO
use them, and from the inner bark of
the tree Il kind of coarse cloth can be
made Besides this, its dried blossoms
are used fer tlEder in lighting fires, and
the wood is in great demand fer build
ing purposes. Record.

Mrs Phobe A Hearst, who was a

TIE recent congress Of mothers held in
Washington, has an Cnviable reputation
in that city nct only for generosity, but
for her simple, unassuming manner.
which is as far rs possible removed from
tie haughtiness that is the traditional
bearing Of the granGe dame. Mrs. Hearst
supports several free kindergartens in
Washington in addition TO her other
boEofactions, and it is reported that she
gives away each year a large portion of
her inColac. Her beautiful home is a
center Of hospitality and place where
each guest is made to feel thoroughly
ard happily at home. Mrs Hearst vir-
tuaily keeps open house, and her guests
are at liberty TO invite their friends TO
meals, ard in every other way to make
the house their own. To her gleat gen
erosity the congress owed its existence

PAULA SALT.

2 years old did the little Paula receive
any regular musical instruction. IL was
given her first by her elder brother, and
then, after they had moved to Vienna,
by Professor Fischoff. and for the last
year by Eugen d'Albert. The latter was
so delighted with the little girls talent
when she was brought TO him that he
took her TO his summer place on tho
Starnbergee See, near Munich. to keep
up her lessons.
People say that the little Paula's
playing is charming, not only ON ac-
count of her clear technic and the vigor
of her tone, astonishing from hands so
small that they can hardly stretch an
octave, but even more from the artistic
feeling that it shows. The little girl has
the good luck TO have sensible parents,
who do not force her talent or try 10
make money out of her gifts. She is be-
ing carefully brought up with her broth
er and sister and not allowed to overex-
ert herself She has never teen taken ON

Odd Visiting Cards.

No doubt you've all heard the story
of tie Indian rajah who sent big ele.
phant as visiting card TO his friend, q
neighboring rajah. Cards almost as re-
markable as this one have been manu-
factured in Germany. They are of solid
ircn, although they do not look much
different from ordinary calling cards.
Several of the great manufacturers have
had iron rolled in very thin sheets and
then cut into card sizes, upon which il
was easy to print the name and business
address of the person who was to use
them. Some of the cards are only enc
one-thonsandth Of an inch thick. Those
used by Baron Krupp, the great gun
maker, are one eight hundred and-twen-

with one finger the notes of tune that

she had any idea Of the printed notes
would play melodies of her own. She
even composed little pieces, such as

course they showed no originality, sound

just as Usual.

Mr.. Randall's letter from Washing.
ton in the Augusta Chronicle states
that the usual antagonisms are crop
ping out in the Democratic party.
Mr.. Randall says: Personal antago
nisms, on political lines, have become
manifest among the house Democrats,
since my last letter, but trust that all
differences will be headed to such a
degree at least as not to impair the
usefulness of what should be q united
minority. Some people seem to think
that the several prominent men who
aspire to leadership are preparing for
the next congress, but this is counting
unmatched chickens and crossing q
bridge before coming to it. Mr.. Bail
ey is a little wanting in tact, perhaps,
but his position is delicate and diff.
cult one. With a more dexterous man
agement, he might have gained his
chief point and created no particular
friction in either quarters. I am hope.
full that all matters of difference will
presently adjust themselves"

Plunged Through q Bridge.

An electric car in the city of Port
land, Ore, left the track Friday NOR
ming and plunged through bridge
which spans the slough on East Nor
rison street. Three people were drown
ed and fifteen more or less injured. "
There were thirty-four people in the
car. It was running down hill at a
speed of fifteen miles an hour, and on
reaching a curve fifty feet from the
bridge left the track. The momentum
the car had gained carried it about
l150 feet upon the bridge, when the
timbers of the structure gave way and
precipitated the car into the lagoon
twenty feet below. The conductor,
who was on the rear platform, shouted
to jump, but only few were able to
get out. The motorman jumped when
he saw he could not stop the car. The
water where the car struck was only
eight feet deep, and the car was not
submerged. In the fall the trucks
were broken from the superstructure
of the car, which fact saved number
of lives, as the upper portion soon
hoated and allowed those who had not
been stunned to escape. After the car
had been raised it was found that an
axle had been broken, which was pro
baby the cause of the accident. Mo
torman Keifer left the wreck soon
after it occurred and has not been
seen since. He will be arrested.
