Provisions from Trees.

There is a tree which grows in Sumatra, Algeria and China which is known as the vegetable tallow tree. From its fruit large quanti- ties of oil and tallow are extract ed, and the fruit is gathered in November or December, when all the leaves have fallen. Excellent candles are made from the berries of a tree which grows in 2 some parts of South Africa and the Azores. At Sierra Leone is found the cream fruit tree, the fruit of which is very agreeable in taste. In Ceylon there is the. breadfruit tree, from which a food is made in the same way that we make bread. Itis saidto be equally good and nu- tritious. In South America we find the milk tree.-Philadelphis Ledger.

Curious Incident.

A man on Twenty.third street furnished much amuseinent to a number of people on a recent windy afternoon by predicament he fell intoy or rather that fell onto him. A large, gunny sack dropped from thebroof of one of the buildings, and, asyit9 descend ed, filled, with, air, coming down with mouth wide open, like bal loon. It struck the unfortunate man squarely over the head, GOV ering.vhim completely down be- low thezshoulders, and pinioning his arms so that he had difficulty in extricating himself. He strug. gled as if he thought he was being kidnapped until he managed to get the sack off-his head.--N-Y Post.

 '0Tradesmen are up to all sorts of tricks. The other day went to the dairy to get some eggs. Would you believe it, the girl in charge tried to make me believe that the brown eggs were better than the real white ones? She came from a farm, too, which is surprising thing"
 "Why, I always thought the brown eggs were the best" said the bride of a week. q am sur prised to learn that they are not"
 "No, indeed, they are not. Do you know how they get brown? We'll, it's from lying around the store so long. They just get stale and take on that brown look. Oh, they can't fool me!

Pigeons as Smugglers.

A curious utilization of carrier pigeons was recently attempted i'll Belgium. This was making them carry contraband goods into France.s For a short time 24 pi- geons were let of regularly from fhe Belgian dovecot, each bur. dened with a small coil of tobacco. They arrived at their French des- tination rather exhausted, and doubtless glad to be relieved of their load.

se wHAn0 oDlaln theiI Aho"t- Ice of how. wild animals bounce ,on their ley, be it a human e;ng or a eliow brute, from he picture books will have to eyise theil ideas if they are made true life. Most of the conceptions are entirely wrong, according the statement of a close stud6 1t of such things. ~
 "In sci Eing their prey tigers and lion + almost invariably go ] for the tMoat," he says, "though : in one or wo instances that have come undAr my notice of animals killed by Tigers they have evi- dently first been hamstrung. These, probably were the victims of young and inexperienced ti gers. I once saw man charged and knocked over by a panther and he only saved his throat by
 putting up his arm, which, as well as his shoulder, the animal
 grasped with teeth and claws. s"Anyone who knows anything about elephants must be aware that the trunk, and particularly the tip of the trunk, is the most delicate. and sensitive part rs the animal and that he shielas it from injury by every possible means in his power. It is, there fore, very unlikely that he would expose it in the act of charging. My experience, limited though it bA points tojthe fact that an elephant, once he has made up his mind to charge, curls up his trunk tight.
 "Bisons and buffaloes when
 they charge invariably poke their noses in the air and com mence running at you with their heads well up, much in the man. ner of domestic cattle, and only lower their horns when within a few yards of the object of their attentions. This I take to be q mere matter of common sense on the part of the animal, for if he puts his head down, say even 40 yards away, he could not pos sibly see where he was going.
 "Bears when wounded will often get on their hind legs and dance about from sheer rage and will also at times do so in order to get a better view of the where abouts of their enemy, but when they charge, whether it be at a man mounted or on foot, ,tthey ins -variabiy charge on all fours.
 ''In charging most animals give vent to certain vocal sounds -grunts or roars-and this, it is natural to suppose, is done with view to terrifying and de- moralizing the object they are attacking-inl fact, more often than not it is a mere bluff on the animals part. l have often seen tigers roar when charging who never really mean mischief and who when met by bold front turned off,"

ce4MAN INVASION
. ,anted by Number of Kaisers Subjects at Present Residing in
 South America.

German nlSfdtloH 'o
 America, and especially to some of the southern states of Brazli, is periodically a cause of com ment and concern to some who think they see therein a sinister scheme of imperial conquest. For two or three strong reasons, says the New York Tribune, such fears seem to us to be not well founded. One such reason IS that the number of Germans ln Brazil is not, after all, ominous- ly large. The total population of Brazil, according to the census of 1890, was 14,333,915. No later census returns are available, but careful estimates now place the total at more than 17,00O,OOO, of which number less than 3,0OO,OOO are Indians and negroes, leaving certainly more than 14,000,O00 whites. Of these, in 1901, only 2,70O,OOO were immigrants, and of the latter number only 300,O00 were Germans.
 The latest and highest esti- mate of the number of Germans in Brazil is only 450, ,000, or lit tie over three per cent. of the whole. Really, we cannot regard that as a dangerous percentage. Nor does it represent the largest foreign element, by any means. Portuguese immigrants into Bra gil are twice as numerous, and Italians three times as numer- ous, as the Germans. Nor yet are these Germans so massed ill certain states as to form ma- jority of their population, as some have imagined. Germans, are most numerous in Rio Grande do Sul, where there are 100000 of them, but the whole population of the state is 100000, so that the Germans are less than one-fourth. In Santa Catha- rina the Germans are 100000 in a total of 300,000, or one-third, the largest proportion in any state. In Parana they are 47,00O in 2SO,0O0, and in Sac Paulo 30,- 900 in 1,43O,000.
 It is pointed out as ominous that these Germans continue to use. their. own language, to pub fish newspapers in German and to demand the official use of that language in courts and schools. We'll, the same may be said of Germans in New York, and in Milwaukee, and in manyHas other parts of the United Statess
 The conquest which Genmany hopes for in Brazil is not polit. ical, but commercial. Thedprofit she looks for in this migration of her subjects is to be found in in- creased commerce. In that Ger many reckons shrewdly. Every shipload of Germans. landed in Brazil creates a demand for many shiploads of German man. ufactured goods. Every so-called German colony in Brazil means a market for German trade. Upon this feature of the case too much stress cannot easily be laid.
