Stony Wood.

The visitor to the Falklands, says an
American writer, sees scattered here
and there singular-shaped blocks of
what appear to be weather-beaten and
moss-covered boulders in various sizes.
Attempt to turn one of these boulders
over, and you will be astonished, be-
cause the stone 10 actually anchored
by roots Of great strength; in fact
you will find that you are fooling with
one Of the native trees. No other coun-
try in the world has such a peculiar
forest growth, and it is said to be
next to impossible to work the odd
shaped blocks into fuel, because the
wood Is perfectly devoid of grain and
appears to be twisted mass of woody
nbres.

build on Battery hill, near Oban-

Booker Washington's story Of Anna
Davis, a Tuskegee student, Is good to
read and remember. Because Of some
misunderstanding about her studies
the young woman could not graduate.
She accepted her own failure without
whimpering, and determined to make
the most Of what she had.
II have some education, Mr.. Wash
1ngton," she said to him, land l will
go where it will be useful"
Then the people OF Tuskegee lost
sight of her for while. But her deeds
did not lag behind her intention and
her speech. She went into the "black
belt" Of Alabama and picked out the
most hopeless community she could
find. She took the wreck Of a log
cabin which was occasionally used
as schoolhouse. The men were pow
erty-stricken and illiterate, and unable
to use to advantage what little they
had. They mortgaged their crops
every year to pay the rents Of their
novels.
1t was situation to appall the
stoutest heart. But Anna Davis 10.
stalled herself in the miserable log
schoolhouse, and first won the inter-
est and sympathy of the children.
Next she induced all the parents to
meet there. She taught them enough
arithmetic to know the value Of the ir
earnings and to appreciate the folly of
their mortgages. She had learned
something Of the business side of ag-
riculture at Tuskegee, and she taught
them that. Then she went from cabin
to cabin to teach by example a better
way of living.
The result of that single handed
courage was seen by Mr.. Washington
when he visited the community a year
ago. There was frame schoolhouse
on the site Of the old log cabin. and
all the children were going to school
eight months In the year. The crops
had increased; the men We're out OF
debt; small, decent frame cottages had
taken the place of the tumble down
shanties, and were owned by the occu-
pants. The people had scraped and
saved to put up the frame schoolhouse
before they thought Of bettering their
own homes.
1t had been done in four years, and
Mr.. Washington asked his old pupil
how she had done it ALL
II will tell you how l did it." she
said, simply. Then she showed him
an account book with the contributions
to the school building fund. There
were some small cash contributions,
but there were more contributions Of
eggs and chickens to be sold for the
school.
Besides this they had little cotton
plantation Of their own. The children
cleared piece Of land behind the
schoolhouse and worked on it every
day after school. They raised two
bales Of cotton a year, and that kept
them going
After telling this story Mr.. Washing
ton said he wanted to add that "Tus-
kegee has since done what it should
have had the wisdom to do before.
They gave Anna Davis her diploma !"

Arab Rutter Making.

Among the Arabs an interesting de-
partment of woman's duty is dairy
work. This. like all other operatons
is carried out on an old fashioned and
patriarchal plan. To make butter for
instance, a small sheepskin is filed
with milk and tied TO ring in the
wall. The woman then sits fiat on the
floor and rocks it 10 and fro till little
balls of butter begin to form within.
These grow larger and larger and ac-
cumulate and are finally brought out
as one big lump. The remaining milk
is then boiled on the fire with bits of
meat. The male members of the fam
lily now come together; a large dish of
cooked rice is placed before them and
the boiled milk poured over it. Then.
making balls of the mixture with his
hands. each member quickly swallows
his share and rises to wash his hands.
This done. the girls and mother sit
down and eat what the men are pleas
ed to leave.
