A Vegetable Lizard.

An attache of the Smithsonian In
stitution tells Of curious inhabitant
of the tropical forests called the liz
ard tree, but which, as he remarks,
might well be termed the centipede
plant.
This singular growth consists of a
stem jointed like bamboo, with
green leaves growing directly from
the bark, and slender white roots
springing from the joints with which
it maintains its hold upon the bark
of the tree wherein it grows. When
it has attained length of three or
four feet the lower sections Of the
lizard plant drop off, and, fastening
upon any convenient object, begin
their independent growth
When thus growing upon the
ground, if the plant encounters a tree
it Immediately begins to ascend the
trunk.

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of great Western
State puts the case regarding stimu-
lants with comprehensive brevity
that is admirable. He says:
"I am Sc years old and have had
considerable experience with stinu-
lants. They are all alike-a MORTGAGE
on reserved energy at ruinous inter
est. AS the whip stimulates but does
not strengthen the horse, so do slim
ulants act upon the human system
Feeling this way, I gave I'D coffee
and all other stimulants and began
the use of Postum Food coffee some
months ago. The beneficial results
have been apparent from the first
me rheumatism that I used to suffar
from has left me, I sleep sounder
my nerves are steadier and nv brain
clearer And I bear testimony also
to the food value of Postum-some-
thing that is lacking in coffee" Name
given by Postum Co., Battle Greek

Road to MELVILLE" the quaint little
book in pkgs.

Incapac;tated.

AS an extra hand" rose from his
dinner in the farm kitchen, the far
mer's son informed him that he was
to pitch hay in the afternoon.
81 won't do it," was the curt reply.
"All right, please yourself. 1t doesn't
make any difference to me" retorted
the farmers son, according to the
Youths Companion. MY father told
me to deliver the message, and if you
don't pitch you'll get into trouble
with him"
Il won't do it for either you or your
father" rejoined the man. You
should ha' told me sooner. At dinner

Put the Blame Where it BELONGS.


Shakespeare saw life in large, and
wrote as he saw it. He never
blamed it onto Cod" His pages are
full of the memorable sequence of
cause and effect, and the swift march
Of deeds points the moral of individu-
al responsibility. If things were "rot-
ten in Denmark" it was because the
fathers had eaten sour grapes and
the children's teeth were set on edge;
if Macbeth trembled at the knocking
at the gate it was because conscience
doth make towards of lis all. The
ghosts that haunted Bosworth Field
were of Richards own creating; and
Regain and GOneril, desperately dead,
reap their ieVitable due. In short,
Shakespeare's message is the message
OF a robust manhood and wOmanhood:
Brace up, pay for what you have, do
good if you wish to get good good
or bad, shoulder the burden of your
moral responsibility, and never for
get that cowardice is the most fatal
and most futile crime in the calendar

VEGETABLE HAIR.
One Of the Least Known Industries of
Algeria.


Algeria.
One of the most interesting, though
perhaps least known, industries of
Algeria is the production of vegetable
hair. This hair of fibre (says the
British Consul General for Algeria) is
made from the dwarf palm (Cham-
crops humilis), which grows in large
quantities along the coasts OF Algeria.
A few years ago this plant was
looked upon as useless weed,
now it has been found to contain
a most useful fibre, and is large
ly sought after. This fibre is an ex-
cellent substitute for hOrsehair, and
is in great demand among upholster-
ers, mattress makers, harness makers,
and carriage builders on the CONT
nent for the cheaper class of goods
1t is very much cheaper than horse
hair, and in many cases replaces it
with advantage, especially as it is
not affected or destroyed by insects.
Factories for the production of this
fibre have been set up in many parts
of Algeria, giving in each case en-
ployment to hundreds of Arabs, so
much so that they have a saying that
the palm was made to give bread to
the poor" Whole families wo,
men and children-may be seen cut
ting the palm leaves making them
into bundles, and carrying them some
times many miles to the factories.
Some of the Nomad Arabs of the
South have made trade of this palm
cutting, and coming up north they
encamp near the factories.
In the factories large numbers of
natives are employed passing the
palm leaves through the shredding
machines, spreading the fibre out to
dry, spinning it into ropes and making
it into bales ready for export. The
ropes are made into various qualities,
according to the thickness of the rope
and the fineness of the fibre, the
prices varying from ga 15s. to 96
a ton, quay Algiers This is for the
fibre in it's natural color, but when
dyed black it increases about ga a
ton. Originally the manufacturer into
curled fibre was primitive, being done
wholly by hand, but of late years
steam machinery has separated the
fibres The machine is a species Of
combing machine, of which
some 20 are now in use, the daily out
put per machine being about tons.
Some idea of the elasticity Of the fibre
can be gained by the fact that bale
of erin cordage, weighing 220 pounds,
has volume of about 40 cubic feet.
The industry should be of some inter
est to British manufacturers of cord
ing and combing machinery, and es-
pecially to manufacturers of spinning
machines, as at present all the spin
ming and twisting is done by hand.
Germany and Austria-Hungary are
the principal buyers of this fibre, and
it is utilized by the German War Of
flee, being an article which from SAM
5ary, economical and general utility
points Of view is suitable for barrack
and hospital bedding.

Always to BE Depended Unon.

When a person gets up in the morning
with a dull headache and tired, stretchy
feeling, it is an almost certain indication
that the liver. or bowels or both, are de-

At such times Nature, the wisest and
best of all doctors, takes this means to
give warning that she needs the help and
gentle assistance which can best be OBJ
tanned from that old family remedy, Brand

over a century.

were few and far between and when peo-
