They Yield Bread, Butter and Milk,
Soap and Candles.
The breadfruit tree Of Ceylon is very
remarkable. Its fruit Is baked and
eaten as we eat bread and is equally
good and nutritious. In Barbutu. South
America, is a tree which, by piercing
the trunk, produces milk, with which
the inhabitants feed their children.
In the interior Of Africa is a tree
which produces excellent butter. 1t
resembles the American oak, and its
fruit, from which the butter is pre-
pared, is not unlike the olive. Park,
the great traveller, declared that the
butter surpassed any made in Eng
land from cows milk. At Sierra
Leone is the cream fruit tree. the
fruit of which is quite agreeable in
taste.
At Table Bay, near the Cape of Good
Hope, is a small tree the berries of
which make excellent candles. 1t is
also found in the Azores. The vege-
table tallow tree also grows in Suma-
ira, In Algeria and in China. In the
Island Of Chusan large quantities Of oil
and tallow are extracted from its fruit.
which is gathered in November or
December, when the tree has lost all
its leaves. The bark Of tree in China
produces a beautiful soap. Trees Of
the sapindus or soap berry order also
grow in the north of Africa. They are
amazingly prolific, and their fruit con-
tains about 3S per cent Of caponin.

L0WEST0FT CHINA.
Story of a Factory Whose Products
Are Now Highly Priced.

are NOW Hlghly Frizeds
At the end Of the North parade,
Lowestoft, is the Warren House, a
place Of great interest to connoisseurs
Of china. 1t was here, in the eight
zenith century, that a discovery Of
fine clay was made which eventually
led to Lowestoft manufacturing the
china which is now so rare that it is
almost priceless.
Initial experiments made by Hewlin
Luson, Esq, Of Gunton Park, near
Lowestoft, with some fine clay discov-
cred accidentally on his estate result
ed in complete success and ultimately
led to the opening Of a factory at
Lowestoft i'm 1856 for the manufacture
Of fine earthenware and porcelain "soft
paste
In 1915 a finely glazed and decorated
"hard paste was introduced, the eff
ficiency and beauty of which beto-
kened a brilliant success for the pro-
prietors. Contemporary evidence in
disputably shows that from ITO to
1900 the LOwestoft works were at the
zenith of their fame Owing. however.
to the enormous expenses and difficult
ty incurred in procuring china clay
from Cornwall and elsewhere after
the original clay was exhausted and
the rapidly increasing competition Of
other makers its prosperity waned, the
collapse came, and the works were

Hints For Stock Owners.

1t is sometimes hard 10 make gOou
butter in the dog days but it is less
difficult when all the rank and bitter
weeds have been cut in the pasture, be-
fore the COWS have had a chance to eat
them.
This is the dry month when streams
and springs lessen and sometimes fail
altogether. If dependence is had upon
water-holes, see to it that the stock are
not allowed to tramp in them, and on
no account allow them to drink from
foul pools.
Now is the time to select the young
breeding stock.
See that all the hogs have plenty of
fresh, clean water to drink, especially
during the hot. dry days.
1t costs about SO to keep breeding
SOW year. If she gives you two litters,
of eight pigs each year there should be
a clear profit of at least $50 from her
and you have your SOW left in the
bargain.
Stringy or ropy milk is caused very
often by drinking stagnant water.
Keep the stable and the yards clean,
so that flies and insects will have no
breeding places.
Keep the milking stable darkened
and screened, and spray the COWS every
day. 1t will pay in dollars and cents
Try to arrange to give each horse on
the farm a three weeks vacation on
grass.
After days work, clean the work
horses thoroughly, wash their legs from
the knees down and rub dry.
Never dose "a healthy horse. All he
needs is good care and good feed. The
good care includes, of course, regular
exercise. 1t is just as bad for a horse to
be all the time taking medicine as it is
for a man. Do not do it.
If the horse flags, and his legs be-
come unsteady, unhitch at once, put
cold water on his head and on the back
of his neck and rub with coarse cloths.
If near a drugstore inject forty or more
grains of quinine. Sponge his mouth

After his sermon one of the deacons of the church, him. self a reformed man, came to him and begged him never to say such thing again. With that he went on to des- cribe the terrible agonies, he had gone through giving up drink, the gripping of the throat, the inward longing to get back to it all again, and the long, sleepless nights.
 Put acid on rod of brass for a moment and then rub it. It will come off, said Dr. Chapman. But leave it on over night and when you go to rub 1t some of the brass will come off with the, acid. It will leave mark behind 1t. It is just so when you have done something that God does not want. The mark of it all is left behind I have four children and if I should sin to- night, there would be four children besides myself to feel the effect of it all."
 pr. Chapman told another personal reminscence of meeting he once ad- dressed at the, Fifteenth street branch of the Y M A in Philadelphia. There was present one whom he tried especi ally to reach along reli%ous matters This he was unsuccessful In until he fin ally happened to remark that God re- moves sins from one as far as the East Is from the West. The old man had been professor of mathematics once and instinctively he took out paper and pencil to reckon the distance from East to West, Of course he could not discover 1t. Instead he turned to Dr. Chapman with new light In his eye. Dr. Chapman sat on chair on the platform as he showed how the old man acted. He saw the truth of 1t all and accepted Christ then and there

 Spelled it .'Lotte,"

The First Baptist church was filled last night at the service conducted by pr. Granstaff and MT. Pugh. Tho chor- us of his district is one of the best in the city having about 70 voices. Dr. Granstaff took as his text Matt. l6:26, For what is a man profitei, if he gain the Whole world. and lose his own life?" Gen, 1912. Lot pitched his tent toward sodom: but the men of Sodom were sinners exceedingly" The speaker said:
 The Bible Is a picture gallery, illus trating life the truths 1t teaches. Does worldliness payg The Bible answers No and Illustrates by the story of Lot.
 Lot represents the men who try to get all they can out of this world and still not lose hone of the other world If God is put first, no one can serve Mammon.
