THE RARE ALOE WOOD TREE
Native of India from Which a valu-
able Resinous Juice Is
Obtained.

The aloe wood tree is a native of the
mountains east and southeast of Syl-
het, in Burnah, and in Bengal. It is
valuable on account of dark, resinous,
aromatic juice with which the wood is
sometimes gorged. This. resin, or
agar, as it is colloquially termed, In
used for its perfume and supposed
medicinal properties. 1t is very costly,
says the Bombay Gazette, and is used
both for incense in religious and otheY
ceremonials, and also in the preparas
ton of a perfume called agar altar,
which is practically as costly as altar
of roses.
The most interesting feature in con-
nection with the aloe wood tree is the
uncertainty as to whether any particu-
lar tree will be found to contain the pre-
cious resin. A tribe of hill men known
to the natives as agar kum1ahs make it
their business to search for the resin
Gus wood. Their trade is a secret which
they always endeaVor to preserve from
all natives of other tribes. A party Of
agar kumlahs goes off into the noun
tains with provisions for as long as
three months, and they prosecute their
tedious search in districts where prob.
ably human being is not seen from
one month to another
Trees have to be chopped down and
hacked to pieces before it can be ascer.
tanned whether they contain any of the
resinous deposit, and sometimes after
Wearisome search through half a dozen
trees, young and old, not a single pieea
Of agar is discovered. Again, it may
be that rich find is made and then
the collector is repaid for half a month

About MONKEYS.

Monkeys never wash or battle,
though they have, as rule. every
chance TO do so. Possibly experience
has taught them TO be afraid of croc-
odiles, which are pretty generally dis
tributed on monkey haunted rivers. It
is said that a number of Indian mon
keys watched party Of Europeans III
a boat, who washed their hands and
brushed their teeth. Next day the
monkeys were seen to come to the
riverside and go through the form Of
washing their hands and of brushing
their teeth with bits Of sales.--future.

All q Mistake,

An American correspondent protests
against the phrases America accent
and nasal tWang," which were used in
many reports of the Torrey-AleXander
mission at Liverpool. For the impress
sion is d general one that all Americans
talk through their noses is quite as er-
roneouS, remarks the London Chronicle
as il one should assert that all English
people talk Cockney." The protest is
justifable. There is no such thing as
the American accent, except in a few
words such as advertisement where
in America is superior as to pronun-
citation and practice Nor does the
Aemrican-born man talk through his
nose" The real difference that we all
@@tiee is a difference in the general
pitch of voice. The American voice is
pitched in a slightly higher key than the
English; and here you may find the rea-
son why the American assimilates
French SO easily. Put it roughly, the
case is this: The Frenchman talks from
his palate, the American from the top
of his throat. the Englishman from his
chest and the German from his dia-
phragm.
