SCRANTON, MISSISSIPPI, FRIDAY. April. II,

than minute the water was all froz-
en in to solid ice. Then lie took an
iron rod feet long and as large round
as a cedar pencil and put one end n
the tumbler and while it rested there
he touched "A lighted match to the
other end, and it took fire and burned
furlously until the whole rod was con-
sumed. He declared that a teaspoon
iul of this liquifed air placed in re-
frigirator would freeze everything in
it and keep it frozen three or ,our
days. and that ice would soon be made
at 10 cents for thousand pounds, and
all the ice factories be closed forever.
and he said that this liquifled air had
five times the destructive power of
dynamite. The operator made lemon
adc and cocktails for the party and
froze them by dropping very small
drop in each glass.
How is that? But-N. B. The gen.
tleman who solemnly told me this is a
newspaper man. TOO.

TREES THAT GROW BREAD.

April Ladies' Home Journal
The bread-fruit trees OF Ceylone are
very remarkable. It's fruit is baked
and eaten as we eat broad, and Is as
nutritious. In Barbutu, South Amer
lea, is a tree which by piercing the
trunk produces milk with which the
inhabitants feed their children. In
the interior Of Africa is a tree which
produces excellent butter. 1t resem-
bles the American oak. and its fruit,
from which the butter is prepared, is
not unlike the olive. Park, the great
traveller declared that the butter sur
passed any made in England from
cows milk. At Sierra Leone is the
cream-fruit tree, the fruit Of which is
quite agreeable IN taste. At Table
Bay. near the Cape Of Good Hope, Is a
small tree the berries Of which make
excellent candles. 1t is also found in
the azories. The vegetable tallow tree
also grows in Sumatra, in Algeria and
in China. In the island OF Chusan
large quantities OF oil and tallow are
extracted from its fruit, which is
gathered in November or December,
when the tree has lost all Of its leaves.
The bark of tree in China produces
beautiful soap. Trees of the spin
dus or soap berry order also grow in
the North of Africa. They are amaz-
ingly prolific, and their fruit con-
tains about thirty.eight per cent 70
SapOnin.

company Is generally true of all the
Others. Major Vardaman anneu1opd
that another Mississippi boy from Le

Hon. John NJ. Allen filed his
appointment at Meridian Friday
night last. Gov. McLaurin was in
vited to be on hand, but declined on ac-
count OF previous engagements, both
official and private" Perhaps he had
not entirely recovered from the lam
basting Allen gave him at WinOna.
Meridian gave Mr.. Allen grand re-
ception.
A half hour before Hon. Jud Rus.
sell arose to introduce Congressman
Allen, the auditorium was filled and
the overflow was partly accommoda-
ted with seats on the stage, but even
then hardly more than half the peO-
pie could gain admittance. In his in
troductOry, Representative Russell
paid glowing tribute to the mental
worth and craftsmanship of the "pri-
vatc," as evidenced by his long years
OF service in Congress. Mr.. Allen
spoke for two hours, largely along the
line of his address at Winona, two
weeks ago. His remarks we're freely
punctuated with applause.
Mr.. Allen said that this was the
first time in the political history of
the State that he ever knew OF one
man attempting to make the platform
upon which another shOul run or get
out OF the party, as Gov. McLaurin
had attempted with him. He defen-
ded himself on the financial Ques-
tion, and said that while he was max.
ing speeches for silver, Gov. McLaurin
was not even known to be an aspirant
for Governor or Senator. He denied
that he had entered upon campaign
Of abuse, but was telling only a very
small portion of facts about an admin
istration that had brought the State
into .discredit, made it the laughing
stock of others and which had deded
the Constitution whenever it had
suited thepurpose Of McLaurin's ends.
He spoke of the railroad tax suits and
said they had been instituted before
McLaurin even went into office. He
severely ridiculed Gov. McLaurin's
effort to tack silver riders to the char
ters Of some corporations, while pr
mitting his friends to establish bank
without the 'dear loved silver bond
cause"
