How O

Persons have been known to
gain a pound a day by taking
an ounce of SCOTS EMUl-

happens.
Somehow the ounce produces
the pound; it seems to start the
digestive machinery going prop

to digest and absorb his ordinary
food, which he could not do be-

is made.

these in order to be ratified, and
twenty-nine of them did so. In this
number were the Southern States
which were under the control of
carpetbag legislatures upheld by
Federal troops. New York, after
considering the matter, subsequently
withdrew her consent. There is an
underlying feeling that the South
upon which negro suffrage bears
most heavily, was never allowed to
express it's opinion in a legalmanner,
and therefore the white race can rest
assured that they are justified by any
means that they may see proper to
adopt to take from the negro that to
which he was never morally entitled.
1t would be good thing if the
white man could for while forget
the question of politics and join with
his fellow human being in some
effectual legislation that would take
from the less intelligent race privi-
lege to which he has no right, either
morally or legally, if the methods by
which the amendment was placed
upon the statute books are carefully
considered. In the end it would re-
suit to the special benefit of neither
political party. 1t would mean the
bringing together of the white peo-
pie who could in a calm and dispas-
sionate manner consider the grave is
sues which are constantly being pre-
sented to our country, and vote their
intelligent sentiments.

Tho Papaya Tree of the East.

The papaya tree fiourlshes all over
tropical India, from Delhi to Ceylon
Its fruit is greatly priced by both Eu'
ropean and native, as well for its edi'
BILE as for Its medicinal qualities. In
the United States 1t Is known as the
papnw or pawpaw and wrongly identi.
fed with the small tree and fruit OF
that name, which is Of the custard-ap.
pie family, and is found growing In
the Middle Western and Southern
States. According to modern botan.
lists the papaya is domesticated in In
dla, and is doubtless native Of the
shores of the Gulf Of Mexico, whence
It was introduced into India by the
Portuguese at an early date or soon af-
ter the discovery of America. In the
Burmese language its name means
"fruit brought by seagoing vessels"
The fruit when ripe attains the siZa
Of a small melon, which 1t somewhat
resembles. While growing, it has 4
deep green color, which on ripening
turns TO dull orange. The interior ID
soft, yellowsh and sweet, and CON
tains numerous small black seeds ar
ranged in five longitudinal lines along
the centre cavity, They have a pleas
ant pungent taste, not unlike mustard
seed. The ripe fruit has flavor Pc
culiar to itself. 1t is eaten by all
classes and is considered wholesome
In the West Indies it is sometimes
boiled and eaten as a vegetable. In
India, when green, it is cooked by the
the natives In their curries and is also
picked. 1t is usually, however, eaten
raw, when ripe with salt, and is
ranked among the finest Of Eastern
fruits.
