VEGETABLE TALL0W.
Squeezed Out Of the Seeds OF Tree That
Grows In China.

The people of China are cmncntly
practical and have added mulch 10 the
civilization of mankind by their habits
Of industry. of which the method of
obtaining vegetable tallow is an cX-
ample. The Chinese pick the seeds
OF this tree in autumn ami first place
them in Il wooden cylinder. open III
the top and perforated IT the bottom.
After being steamed over Il fire for ten
or fifteen minutes the tallow Is soft
rnrd and is then more readily Sepa-
rated. The seeds are transferred from
the Stcamin@ cylinder to Il stone mo-
tar. in which they are gently beaten.
They are then thrown on 4 stove. heat
ed over the fire and Siftcd. by which
process the tallow is separated and re-
scmbleS coarse Indian meal.
In this State the tallow is put be-
tween circles Of twisted straw and
these placed in press. by which the
tallow is forced out and falls into Il

markablc tree is found on the banks
of the Min. in SZechucn. 1t is 4 tree
with shining green leaves and small
yellow flowers ut the end of the
branches. They are succeeded by dark
colored seeds and vessels containing
delicate white seeds. In late autumn.
on the banks Of the TSen-Tang River,
in Chokiang. south of IIangchow. this
tree is Il striking object. The leaves
are then of a blood-red color instead
Of light green. When the tall0w has

lever Admit Defeat

Never admit defeat or poverty,
though you seem 10 be down and hav0
not cent. Stoutly assert your divine
right to be q man. TO hold your head
up and look the world in the face: step
bravely to the front whatever opposes,
and the world will make way for YOU.
No one will insist upon your rights
while you yourself doubt that you pos
sesS the qualities requisite for sue
cess. Never allow yourself to be Il
traitor to your own cause by under
mining your Self-confidence.
There never was time before when
persistent. original force was so much
in demand as now. The namby-pam-
by. nerveless man has little show IN
the huStlng world of to-day. In the
twentieth century r man must either
push or be pushed.
Every one admircs the man who can
assert his rights and has the power to
demand and take them if denied him.
No orlp can respect the man who sinks
in the rear and apologies for being IN
the world. Negative virtues are Of no
use in winning ones way 1t is the
positive man. the man with original
energy and push that forges to the
frOnt-SucccSS.

A New York physician in his recent
talk on physical culture for mothers
offers some very good advice concern
ing useful exercise. 1t was Ques-
ton of giving proper direction to sur
plus energy and of getting the mcst
out of it. To suggest to young moth
ers that they should make their own
beds and sweep their rooms, and thus
expand their chests and increase their
arm and back power, IS somewhat OF
an innovation in these days Of progress
sive gymnastics and movement cures
Still, the idea has very practical ap-
plication. 1t narrowS us down to the
consideration Of the fact that Nature
provides in our every day work, with
its attendant possibilities, all the exer-
else we generally need. When we stop
10 think how we can combine the two
It is often matter Of surprise. The
result is generally a twofold enjoy
ment. SO. too. the man who splits
his own wood gets double warmth
from the effort 1t is the extra glow
with profitable occupation that Is
thrown into the bargain before the fire
Is made on the hearth. The principle
appeals 10 every sensible mortal. We
gain much more than car fare by
walking 10 and from our offices.

ESTIMATE OF THE VOTE
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star.

LOUISVILLE, KY, October Is, 1900
A careful estimate Of the expected vote
lin the race for governor Of Kentucky made
by an astute republican leader, proves very
gratifying to his friends and other sup
porters OF John w. Yerkes. the civil lib
erty'' candidate. Mr.. Yerkes is the republi-
can nominee, and is heartily supported by
the faction Of anti-Goebelite democrats fair
election populists and the independent ele-
ment.
In a conversation with The Star repre-
sentative the following figures were made:
I'VE look for an overwhelming vote in
the eleventh, or mountain district. / think
the majority Of $4,000 of last year will be
increased to 10000 possibly $4,000 The
attacks on the mountain people have solidi-
fed the vote there, until it is almost unani-
nous. These people have been charged
with the murder Of Goebel and branded as
assasslns and murderers by the democratic
press until they have nearly abandoned
party afiliations and are going to vote in
one solid mass for civil liberty. We expect
the vote to be more than 10000 for Yerkes
State Vote by Districts.
In the fifth or Louisville district, which
gave Mr.. Mckinley II, 400 in 1896 we expect
fully 10000 for Yerkes. I figure the whole
state as follows:
