it loses all virtue as blood cure.
The process Of preparing the remedy
is, first to kill the crow, and, without
cleaning it, incase the body In an air

mold Is then baked for two or three
days In hot fire. When the clay coat
is removed, naturally the crow will be

that the medicine was very rare because
of the difficulty of finding crow that
had not taken water.
The man was perfectly sincere and
appeared extremely proud Of his sue

was reluctant to leave the tree lest
there should be another one on the
ground somewhere.

mineral wealth of the south.

About one-seventh of the mineral
production of the entire country comes
from the Southern States. OF btu
minous coal, the most valuable mineral,
the South produces one-fourth, and of
iron about one-ninth. Its total coal
resources amount to nearly 600O0O,-
100000 tons or more than ohe-fourth
Of our estimated coal reserve.
OF mineral chemical materials the
South supplies more than one-half,
chiefly phosphate rock, all Of which Is
produced in Florida, Tennessee and
South Carolina, and nearly one-third
Of the mineral pigments. OF precious
stones the whole country produces only
S325,0O0 worth, with the South fur
nishing its fair share.
The showing in iron ore reserves is
quite as good; a safe minimum is
5000, 100000 tons, or nearly ohe-third
Of the nations total. OF workable iron
ore the South contains one and one
half times as much as the famous
Lake Superior district, and this does
not include the deep lying southern
ores.
On basis of value Of product the
South furnishes more than two.sev-
enths Of our oil and more than one
sixth Of our gas.-New York Sun.

THE BREADFRUIT TREE.
Manys Ways in Which This Strange
Tropical Plant Is Utilized,

Manys Ways in Which This Strange
Tropical Plant Is Utilized.
The breadfruit tree is a native of
Southern Asia, the West indies, the
south Pacific islands and the Indian
archipelago. In appearance 1t resem-
bles somewhat the wild chestnut. 1t
grows to the height Of forty or fifty
feet and has dark green leaves, many
Of them two feet in length, which are
deeply divided into pointed lobes.
Hidden among the great leaves the
breadfruit grows, says the Baltimore
Sun. 1t Is nearly spherical, often
weighs four or more pounds and has a
thick yellow rind. This fruit is the
chief food of the South Sea islanders.
They seldom eat meal without it.
The eatable part lies between the rind
and the core and when fully ripe Is
yellow and juicy. The fruit is better
before it has fully matured, and the
natives gather 1t while the pulp Is
white.
Before 1t is ready for table use II
must be roasted. when 1t looks like
wheat bread and Is both palatable and
nutritious. Usually the fruit Is cut In,
to three or four slices and roasted OIL
baked in an oven.
Frequently the people Of village
join in making a huge oven. In which
several hundred breadfrults may bt
baked at one time. Thus they are al
supplied with bread without its cost
ing any Of them much labor. Prepared
In this way the bread will keep fol
weeks.
The breadfrult is in season eigh
months Of the year. When the seasoI
finally draws to a close the last fruit
are gathered and made Into sou
paste called ''mahel.v This paste will
keep for months and Is made into balls
wrapped In leaves and baked, Just a
needed.
Bread is not the only product Of tn
breadfruit tree. From 1t cement, CLOTH
tlnder and lumber are also obtained
A glutinous, milky juice oozes from tn
trunk Of the tree, which makes an ex
cellent cement when boiled with cocoa
, nut oil. From the fibrous Inner bark
kind Of coarse cloth Is made, and tn
big leaves make good towels. The lun
. ber Is used for building houses an
, many other purposes. Besides all thil

BELIEVE IN SUN SPOTS.
A Word About a Favorite Theory aa
to Short Crops.

to Short Crops.
IN the bottom of its heart a good
part of the financial community cher
ishes the suspicion that financial crises,
especially when caused or accompanied
by bad harvests have something to do
with "sun spots," says the New York
Post. The argument is that these years
of intense solar activity come some
where near once in ten years and so
do panics; that "sun spots" very prob
ably cause abnormal seasons on our
| own planet and that abnormal seasons
cause crop failures and trouble In the
stock exchange. Nobody would need to
take this seriously but for the fact that
thirty-two years ago a very eminent
English economist frankly asserted his
belief in the theory. Prof. Jevons was
SO confident of its applicability that in
1875 he predicted a European panic
for 1879, because the "sun-spot activity"
would then be again approaching
| maximum.
But how about the facts? The year
1887 was one of sun-spot maximum and
also year Of commercial panic. Sun
spots were very active In 1871, 1872
and 1873 and we know what happened
in the markets. In 1888 violent
maximum was reached; Europe had a
stock exchange panic in 1882 and the
United States one In 1884. There was
famous "sun-spot year" in 1893 and,
what is more to the point, we are still
in a period of solar activity and dis
ordered markets.
So far, this is all very we'll; but let
us be thorough. The panic Of 1857 was
one of the worst on the list, and 1857
came in a period Of sun-spot minimum.
In 1866, when one of the worst of Eng
lands financial crises occurred, solar
activity was at the lowest level in a
decade A period Of sun-spot minimum
began In 1889 and continued into the
Barring year." 1890. Evidently, SUM-
spots do not always have the same
effect.
Prof. Jevons thought that the effect
was brought about through crop fall
ures. The astronomers tell us, how
ever, that so far as there Is any corre-
spondence, "cold years, rains and in
undations appear to correspond to
those when the sun is quiet; dry and
warm years to epochs of great solar
activity" Now dry year may ruin
crops as we'll as a cold year; but as a
matter of record among panic years,
1857 produced an abundant European
harvest. 1873 yielded bumper crop"
in the United States, with 1872 a good
second, and 1884 was a year of unpar-
alleled wheat production all over the
world. And what is to be said of 1879
and 1897, when the world raised
bumper crops" In the western hemi-
sphere and lost most Of the harvest In
the eastern?

that the term duty comprises all that
we most dislike to do; that II It is a
duty 1t must be unpleasant. But look
at your duties kindly and they will
turn kindly faces to YOU. Don't worry
over them, don't be angry with them.

and you will be happy with them. But
be careful not to make an idol of duty,
for ldolatry Is wrong. Idols are wor-
