GOOD BEADING FOR CHILDREN
Fest Way to Develop Sound Taste In
Literature.


There ought to be collection OF
good books within the reach OF every
child from the earliest years. These
books ought to be selected with the
utmost care, and should exclude all
inferior, sensational and careless
writing. The list ought to exclude
large number of the books written
especially for children, because many
of these books lack reality and liter
ary quality.
child who is brought up with we'll
bred people will have good manners
far more certainly than child who
is taught good manners In any for
NAL way and much the best way to
develop sound taste for literature
In children is to make them familiar
with the best writing from the very
first, and to shut them off from access
to inferior writing. The best litera'
ture offers every kind OF writing
which should interest child.--Week'

ton with the discovery by Maneuv'
rier, the well known French chemist.
Of a means of detecting by its aid the
adulteration of wines. In the method
he has perfected two glasses, one filled
with the wine to be tested and the
other with a like quantity of wine
known to be pure, are placed on an
apparatus resembling scale and
telephone connection is made with
both liquids. If both wines are pure
no sound is heard in the receiver:
but IL one contains water or other

"Weel, SIR" answered the shoemak'

"Tut, tut, John!" exclaimed the min

yourself to go down like that. Be a
man and meet your troubles like

Providence and all will come right"
A few weeks later the minister paid
the shoemake; another visit and was
delighted to find him as CHEEKY and as
humorous IS ever.
Now, john" said the minister

PANAMA IS RICH IN RUBBER.
Interesting Method Employed In Saw

Interesting Method Employed In Saw
ing the Valuable Product.
Rubber plantations may become an
important element in the industrial
life of Panama. The rubber tree
thrives we'll on the isthmus. The pro-
ductive life Of this tree Is twenty-five
years, 1t Is indigenous to the country
and is found growing wild on both
coasts of the republic. 1t will not
stand high winds, so windbreaks,
either natural or artificial, must be
provided. 1t requires well drained,
rich, loamy soil that will give plenty
of moisture during the dry season and
no tcontain stagnant water or be sog-
gy during the wet season.
The rubber is obtained by making
an incision into the bark OF the tree.
From the opening flows a light yellow,
viscid liquid containing from 81 to "A
per cent of pure rubber. When sub
jected to heat this liquid evaporates,
leaving the rubber as a residue. The
rubber tree is generally tapped when
II Is eight years old. Tappings made
in April and November seem to give
the best results. From twenty to
twenty-five trees can be tapped In
day, but the work must be done In
careful and systematic manner. The
most favored method on the isthmus
Is to make two or three v or rectan'
gular shaped incisions in the lower
part of the trunk and allow the sap
to flow into earthen vessels, from
which it is poured into a barrel and a
solution of Ave ounces OF chloride OF
! subcarbonate of sodium Is added, Win
sufficient water to cover. 1t Is stirred
frequently for twenty-four to thirty-siS
hours. when the water is drawn OF by
i means of faucet in the bottom o.
the barrel. This operation separates
the rubber and is repeated until the
product turns white.
The number of rubber trees In Pan
anna is estimated at $4,000. whici
does not include 100000 trees growins
wild in the dense forests OF Veragua'
proyince. The India rubber exports
from Panama to foreign countries
during the year 1905 were estimated
at 10000 pounds, valued at $Ss.oo'
gold. The total shipped from Color
! 10 the United States during the SAM
period was estimated at 10000 pounds
valued at $4,000 gold.
