Tree That YieIds MIX.

In South America is n remarkable
tree growing in the valley of the
Amazon. It's sap is a milk singular
ly like the finest cows milk. 1t is
highly nutritious and will mix with
water. hot or cold, and never curdles
in hot mixtures. IL keeps good for
a week, even in this climate, and has
much the taste OF cows milk in
which cinnamon has been stepped.
1t is thicker than ordinary milk, and
has the feeling in the mouth of liquid
juice. IL left standing for a time a
thick oily cream arises When dry
this has the consistency of wax.
Paul Fountain, n recent traveller I'm
South America, says he has drunk
large quantities of ~, both as Il came
from the tree and also mixed with
tea or cocoa, with which II combines
better than cows milk He declares
that it IS extremely nourishing.
When he could get this sap he al

Ordering the Seasons.

Among the strange duties of the
Emperor of China is one that neces-
states his ordering the seasons. 1t
is summer In America when the sun
warns the earth, and not till then,
but in China il is summer when the
Emperor says IL is summer. AS soon
as the Son of Heaven declares that
summer has come. everyone in China
puts off winter clothing and arrays
himself in summer garb, no matter
what his feelings may say on the
subject. All domestic arrangements
are made to suit the season, as pro-
claimed by His Imperial Majesty, al
though they may not suit the individ-
ual at all.
The nearest approach to the Chin
csc custom of ordering the seasons is
the practice observed in France in all
public buildings. There it is winter
on and after October 1. Fires are
then lighted in all government Offices
and the servants exchange their
white summer waistcoats for the
thicker and darker ones of winter.
AT that date the public libraries are
closed at 4, and in the streets the
sellers of roasted chestnuts make
their appearance. In official France
1t is winter, no matter what the wea-
Their may say and no mater what I'M
official France may think-Philadel-

Making n journey of 5000 miles
behind n team OF oxen, Ezra Meeker,
who started from Tacoma, Wash,
Jan. %, 1906. has reached Ohio on
his way to Washington, ID. G. The
object of his expedition is to estab-
lish monuments along the old Oregon
trail, in honor of the pioneers who
first used 1t to travel west. He owns
a large estate in Washington, and
has wife and five children, 81
grandchildren and four great grand
children.
His family and neighbors protested
against the long journey, but he was
determined. Twenty monuments have
been erected through Meeker's ef-
forts, one costing $500, and he advo-
Gates the establishment by Congress
of national highway from the Mis-
souri, river to Oregon over the trail
of 1852.
Meeker's wagon is one that was

calls IL his "oxomobile." He lectures

Origin of "corlt" Leqs.

why, man, cork leg would crumble

don't want cork leg, but an elm or

cork since the worlds beginning.
But many persons think as you do,
and I'll tell you how the fallacy orig
mated. The inventor of the modern
artificial leg-the leg, instead of
the stick-was John Cork. Cork s
legs, or cork legs, were famous

Guessing at sphinx's Ace.

The great Sphinx of Ghizeh bears
no inscription by which we can tell
its date. In 1916 Caviglia, who in
modern times was the first to clear
away the sand, found between its
paws STEELE of the reign of Throth-
mes w, and, therefore, 1t was beliey-
ed that the Sphinx was carved by
that monarch. But in 1858 the exca-
vations of Marietta uncovered
STEELE bearing the name of Cheops. on
which is a reference to the Sphinx.
The inscription is eveiuently of a
late period, but is supposed to be an
exact copy of an ancient carving.
and the translation seemed to place
the Sphinx earlier than the Pyra-
mids, and consequently to prove it
the most ancient piece of work i'm
the world. Still there remained four
lines carved on the base which could
not be read, but NJ. Daressy has now
deciphered them, and it appears that
the inscription is in two parts. In
the earlier lines there is no mention
of the Sphinx, but the lines, which
date from the Persian occupation
mention the repair of the Sphinx
There is, therefore, nothing by which
we can tell the date of the monu-
ment, and the only evidence we have
is the headdress of the colossus. It's
hood IS ornamented behind with
three bands, large one between two
smaller bands. Now this is a fashion
which existed only toward the end of
the twelfth dynasty in the reigns of
Usurtasen III. and Amendment III.
AS the family showed much zeal for
the god HaTmaklin, whose portrait
the Sphinx is, it is probable that the
monument is the work of Amen
dment III.-London Globe.
