A TREE OF ILL REPUTE.
The Fresh Juice of the Upas Acts a.
Deadly Poison.

An evil reputation has long been
| borne by the upas tree. Ant,ars toXi-
caria, which grows in Borneo and 9TH
! er East Indian islands. 1t is still a
common belief that birds GIVING with
in the influence of its poisonous va
| pors instantly perish and that it is IA
tai for animals or men to rest be-
meath its shade. 1t resembles certain
rhus plants like the poison IVY in
emitting a volatile substance which
affects the skins Of certain suscepti-
bic persons, though others are unaf-
fected. The sap is very poisonous and
is the chief substance used by the
Dyaks of Borneo for poisoning the tips
of their darts.
lii this process an incision is made
in the bark of the tree and the milky
emulation collected ON a palm leaf
and dried first in the sun and then
over Il fire until thick brown mass
is left In this state it can be kept
without deteriorating. and when re-
paste with the juice of tuba" root,
which is used 10 stupefy hsh, or with
tobacco or lemon juice, and the ends of
the darts dipped into the mixture and
dried. These darts are made from the
middle stem of the palm leaf and are
about six or eight inches in length and
of about the thickness of a knitting
needle.
They are used with a wooden sumpi-
tan. or blowpipe, which is about seven
or eight feet in length and has an in
ternal diameter of about one-quarter
inch. \ bird struck by one Of these
little darts is instantly killed, and
pig dies in about twenty minutes.
The fresh juice of the upas tree,
whether swallowed or injected into
the blood. acts as a violent poison,
causing commissions and death.-Chi-

Of the Year,
When Thaclteray wrote VANITY FAIR

book hau very palpable hero. Mrs
Burton Harrison, in her new story, Lat

as to the tales quota of heroes. Yec
she might with truth claim to have Gre
ated at least two in this one remark

The foregoing statement sounds like a
1t is the exact truth. Latter Day
sweethearts" is the only novel know.
to the annals OF literature possessing two
men characters, each OF whom can lay
adequate claim to the title of "leading
man." Two girls. also, have simila.
liens on the rank of heroine, 10 an out

no higher praise can be accorded to Mrs

Despite tho splendid character work in

make even the most faded reviewer long
