A WhIstling Tree.

The tsofar is the native name Of the
whistling tree. A gum is obtained from
it, known under the name of gedaref or
SEMINAR gum. 1t is an interesting tree.
DR.. Schweinfurth says: As the wind
blows across its branches it produces a
sound analogous to flute. This music
al property, wonderful in a tree, espe-
cially gummy one is due to the fact
that the base of the prickles of the hir-
suite branches is perforated by a certain
insect, which sucks the gum out and
transforms all the thorns into little flutes.
Happily we only see things of this kind
in the south of Nuba.-La Semaine Hor-

COMING RAIN.

Hung in the shining north. light showers-
As over breast OF silks and flowers
Like dusky unbound hair
Trail weeping, but the west is dark,
And the rain crows tripping voice, oh, hark!
1reads down the echoing air.
harh how the booolinks ripple and bubble
Out OF the orchard what rapture OF robins!
And look the brswn thrust up and facing the
storm
With shaken iubilant splendor and storm Of song
And more than the heart can bear!
Oh, look and listen The last lights glisten,
Save for the moments glare.
Oh, look and harken, The valleys darken,
Fade, for the rain is there.

About Hot Water Rags

A hot water bottle is a necessity.
positive essential in every family. 1t is
not only comfort, but a soother OF pain
and under certain conditions a life saver
even. No house should be without it,
especially in its improved form. which
obviates all former defects and presents
many advantages. The new bottle is a
hollow disk and adjusts itself to all parts
of the body and lies on it without hold
ing or bandage. 1t is only half the
thickness of the ordinary bottle when fill-
ed. making it easy and comfortable to lie
on. BY buttoning the two ends together
1t gives to one half of it an upright posi-.
ton to serve as heater to the feet or any
part of the body desired. Soft. light in
weight and pIiabe, 1t is great improve
ment on the old time hot water bag.
