CLEANLINESS WITHOUT SOAP.

Surely too much importance is at- tached to the scarcity Of soap 1n the Boers' farm houses, says the LC- don Truth. People may be very clean and use very little soap. The Russians and Japanese cleanse themselves with va DOT baths, rarely using soap when they do so. A really healthy skin cleens'ss itsef.

"cLOCK STARS"

1, tBGd In Face Of the Sun to Fix fhG
 Time Of Day
 s Probably the majority of people sup apose that the observatorIes obtain the Acarrect time from the sun. When the saverage man wishes to give his watch #the highest praise he says, Tt regu- lates the sun,' not being aware that a watch which would keep with the ssun around the year would have to be nearly as bad as Captain Cuttles The farmer may safely decide when to go 5 to dinner by the sun but if the marine, was as confident that the sun marked always the correct time as the farmer 5 Is he would be sure to be at times 5 200 or 300 miles from where he thought he was. In other words, the sun that is, sundial-is only correct on a few days in each year, and during the Intervening times gets as far as whole quarter hour fast or slow, ao- cordisg 10 Appleton's Populai Science Monthly. There are several hundred stars whose positions have been estab- Tshed with the greatest accuracy by the most careful observations at a humber of the principal obseryatories of the world. If a stars exact posi- tiOn is known, it can readily be cal culated when it will pass the meridian of any given place-that E, the in- stant it will cross a north and south line 5hrougn the place. The data re- garding these stars are all published ta the nautical almanacs, which are got out by several different observa, tons for the use of nayieators and all others who have uses for them.

wl7Y WOMEN WORRY MOST.

Have More Leisars Time Than Men a1A
 Naturally Think Over Things.
 From time immemorial women have beer told-by women, as well as mel, though naturally more often by the latter-that worry digs wrinkles in their faces and sprinkles groy among their tresses. These warnings do lit tie good. The fair creatures go on worrying and will probably continue to do so until the millennium comes. Why this is so is answered in this way The question of worry with women seems to be simply this: Wom ea are so hedged about by the little- ness Of their protected liyes-for it Is the protected woman who does the most worrying-that 1t is hard to see beyond and above sometimes, and mat ters in this way get wholly out of fo GUS. If women had the capacity with men O. getting up ana doing battle with things, worry would slip off their shoulders as easily as from off those of the average masculine. Man doesnt worry about debt, because he feels thas he has it within him (since money making is his business) to make sufti. cient money to pay his debts-some time. Women look al it more prae- sically, and consider the now. Man doesn't generally worry about his health, because he really has not the time. Let him become i'll, though, and have to stop his work, and how is it with him? Man doesn't worry about t.he future--he is so madly interested ,n tue present; nor about his clothes for the tailor stands between him anl that; nor about home matters--they from his point Of view, are too trivia until he comes home to badly cook eG dinner, and then in his broad out looK there is no excuse for this state of things, for in business, if an em- ploye does not do his Work properly, his employer gets some one who call. a method that will yet come to be a powerful lever in the leveling of wom

SINGULAR FRUIT FOR A TREE.
Chinese Product That Bears Tallov
 Brought to South Carolina.

The people of China are em.n1ntly practical, and have added much to the civilization of mankind by their habits of industry, of which the method of obtaining vegetable tallow is an excel lent example. The tree producing this tallow Is called Stiilingia Sebifera, and .he words remind Us Of the dropping product and its soapy nature. The Chi nese pick the seeds Of this tree in au- tunn, and first place them in a wooden cylinder, open at the top and perforat- ed at the bottom. After being steamed over a fire for ten or fifteen minutes the talloW is soitened and is then more readily separated. The seeds Ire trans- ferred from the steaming cylinder to stone mortar, in which they are gently 0eaten They are then thrown on eieye, heated over the fire and sifte3, by which process the tallow is separat- ed and resembles coarse Indian meal. h this state the tallow is put between circles of twisted straw and these plae- eG in @ press, by which the tallow is forced out and falls into a tub. Freed from all impurities, it is then sem1- fluid of a beautiful white color. Candles made o1 it easily melt in hot weather and on this account they are dipped in melted way of various colors-red, green or yellow-and are exposed for sale by 6allow ehandlers and other shopkeepers. This remarkable tree is found on the banks of the Nin in Sze- chuen. It also grows near SoochoW, and bas been transplanted to Nort~1 and South Carolina. It is tree with shining green leaves and small yellow flowers at the end of the branches. They are succeeded by dark colered seeds and vessels containing delicate white seeds. Tn late autumn, on the hanks of the Tsien-tang river in Cho- kiang, south of Hangchow, this tree IS g striking object. The leaves are then of a blood red color instead of light green. When the tallow has been squeezed out of the seeds the remainder is preserved to be used as fuel or te enrich the Philadelphia Record
