New EXPERIENCES for Greedy.

Gen. A. w. Greedy, chief of the army
signal service, has strung telegraph
wires in the wilderness, has fought
In many battles and has led an ill
fated expedition to find the north pole,
but he is of the opinion, after think
ing over his long and active career,
that he never had any real trouble I'M
til this winter. Two months ago one
of the ash inspectors told the general
the ash can in use at his house was
too small. Greedy bought new one.
Last week the ashes were not re-
moved and the general made com
plant to the department An inspec-
tor went up to investigate. He re-
turned and reported to the general: 81
am sorry, sir, but the reason your
ashes have not been taken away is
because your ash can is too large
What Gen. Greedy said to the inspec-
tor would be best expressed in the
dashes his telegraphers use.

An eminent physician says that
"Women are not truthful; they will lie
to their physician This statement
should be qualified; women do tell the
truth, but not the whole truth, to a
male physician, but this is only in re-
gard to those painful and troublesome
disorders peculiar to their sex.
There can be no more terrible ordeal
to delicate, sensitive, refined woman
than to be obliged to answer certain
questions when those questions are
asked, even by her family physician.
This is especially the case with I'M
married women.
Is it any wonder, then, that women
continue to suffer and that doctors
fail to cure female diseases when they
cannot get the proper information to
work on?
This is the reason why thousands and
thousands of women are now CORE
spending with Mrs. Pinkham. To her
they can and do give every symptom,
so that she really knows more about
the true condition of her patients,
through her correspondence with them
than the physician who personally
questions them.
Ifyou suffer from any form of trouble
peculiar to women, write at once to
Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, and she
will advise you free of charge.
The fact that this great boon, which
is extended freely to women by Mrs.
Pinkham, is appreciated, the thou
sands of letters received by her prove.
Many such grateful letters as the fol-
lowing are constantly pouring in.

just as much as could do to reach my
room and get to bed.

FINE AND RARE FRUITS.
Some on the Island of JoIo That Are
Seldom Eaten Elsewhere.

Seldom Eaten Elsewhere.
The Island of Jolo covers fully 800
square miles. 1t is of coral formation
and offers a most excellent harbor to
the west. In topography it Is gently
undulating and covered throughout its
entire length by the rankest tropical
vegetation, valuable lockwood being
found extensively throughout the en-
the district. Nowhere in the world
are more luscious fruits produced.
Among those peculiar to this belt is
the DURAN, which is about the size of
a muskmelon. It's exterior presents
somewhat the appearance of a chest
nut burr, being prickly and tough;
within the fruit is white and cheese
like, and, owing to this popularity,
the American soldiers dubbed it the
vegetable limburger."
The mangosteen is another of the
rare fruits 1t is the size of an aver
age orange, chocolate colored, and has
very brittle skin. Inside four white
sections contain a colorless LIQUID.
This is the rarest fruit known, and the
only one, so 1t Is claimed, that Queen
Victoria had never tasted. there be-
ing no way of preserving the fruit for
a sufficient period after plucking to
permit of shipping to any distance

Asked whether he recollected the
personality of Sir Walter Scott, Mr.
Croal replied that he did so wildly.
"He was lightsome and gay and
looked the real type of fine old Scot
fish gentleman, chatting animatedly
with one OF the law lords sitting next
to him. He made a first-class after
dinner speaker and, young though /
was, carried away last impression
of his kindly social disposition"
In the course of the evening Sir
Walter complimented Charles Mac
kay, the comedian, who was present,
upon his success in the role of Bailie
Nicol Jarvie. Mackay was embar-
rassed and Mr.. Croal distinctly re-
members him saying: who would
have thought would get such COM
pliment from the great unknown"
"Not unknown now, Mr.. Bailie," jocu-
larly retorted Sir Walter.

FaIIaoy ReqardInu Bread.

The fallacy that the winter the
bread the higher its quality, seems to
prevail all over the world, and the
demands for snow-white flour have
been answered by the production of a
flour which is robbed of considerable
of its nutritive value. There are vari-
GUS ways of accomplishing this object,
but the newest and most novel pro-
cess for that purpose comes from
France. Here the dough has been
treated with ozonized air, and the
effect was that while the bread was
much whittier than the untreated the
quality of the bread was very much
impaired. Both the taste and the
amount of nourishment were very
much inferior.

TREES THAT GIVE COCOA.
Cocoanut Palm and Cacao Tree Both
Handsome Specimens.


Handsome Specimens.
Many of us who use cocoa and
cocoanuts daily do not know that they
are obtained from two distinct trees.
The cocoanut palm is the fruit of a
tall and graceful palm tree, whereas
the cocoa, or more properly cacao, is
the powdered seed of small and
handsome tree, bearing no resem-
blance to the cocoa palm. In fact,
the cacao tree is closely allied to the
linden or lime trees. No one who has
ever seen the peculiar appearance pre-
sented by the cacao tree will be likely
to mistake it for anything else. The
tree itself grows to a height of TWEEN
ty or twenty-five feet, with a rather
smooth and slender trunk, thick,
bushy and symmetrical top, and hand
some broad, oval leaves of deep pur-
pie or bronze color. Instead of grow
ing at the end of the branches or
twigs, as do most blossoms, the flow
ers bud out directly from the bark of
the limbs and trunk. The flowers are
small and insignificant, but the fruit,
shaped like cucumber, grows to
large size, sometimes eight or ten
feet In length and three or four inches
across. 1t is brilliantly colored or
apge, red or yellow, and under favor
able conditions fairly covers the tree,
and is a beautiful sight
