Oddities Of the LadrOnes.

In the Ladrone islands there is a
tree with fruit which to the nos
trils is so obnoxious that it turns
one faint, but once in the mouth it
is so delicious that one will eat to
safety. 1t ripens once a month
and is very abundant.
There is a nut which is eaten
shell and all The kernel can be
bitten only when it is fully ripe.
The shell is brittle like a cracker,
sweet and good.
There is stone found on the
island which changes color accord
ing to the weather. On cold days
it is black; hot weather turns it
bright red; it gets pink when rain
threatens; and cloudy weather
turns it blue. II lies plentiful along
the roads and pedestrians can bt
their own weather prophets.
A great yellow flower which opens
and closes to the sun at noon is an
other novelty. This flower only
takes five minutes to open and shut;
for one minute it is wide open,
showing a white center with a GOLD
en- heart. 1t opens directly up to
the sun and closes with dropping
head. 1t varies not one minute in
the whole lifetime of the plant. On
cloudy days it opens but its petals
point downward, for the stem doe.
not rise as on sunny days. This
flower acts as a clock for the
natives.

Ladrones is rich man, for he car

PURE GRIT.

"Mean natures always fees a
sort of terror befor great natures,
and many base thought has been
muttered through fear inspired by
the presence of one noble man" "
As rule, pare grit, character,
has the right of way. In the pres
ence of men permeated with grit
and sound in character, meanness
and baseness slink out Of sight.
Mean men are uncomfortable, dis
honesty trembles, hypocrisy Is un-
certain.
Grit is a permanent, solid quality
which enters into the very
structure, the very tissues of the
constitution.
A mean man, wayering, irreso-
lutte man, may be "spuuky" upon
occasion, he may be "plucky" in an
emergency; but pure grit is the
part of the very character of
strong men alone.
1t is that element of character
which enables man to clutch his
aim with an iron grip, and keep the
needle of his purpose pointing to
the star of his hope. Through
sunshine and storm, through hurri-
cane and tempest, through sleet
and rain, with a leakY ship, with a
crew in mutiny it perseveres; in
fact, nothing but death can su due
it, and it dies still struggling

Obstinate sores and ulcers, which
refuse to heal under ordinary treat
ment, soon become chronic and deep
seated, and lead TO conditions most
serious. They are caused in different
ways, but in every case the blood is
involved, and no amount of local treat

must be eliminated from the blood
before a cure can be had.
