Hope is the nectar tnat sorrow
Uses to calm our alright,

Hope is the song OF the mother
Rocking her baby to sleep;
Hope is the prayer that another
Says for her boy DER the deep!
Hope is the reed OF our sorrow
Under the fall of the clay
Promise that some sweet tomorrow
We shall live ever, Away.
Live in land all eternal
when all our trials are through,
When hope has blossomed supernal
And all our hopes have come true,

On the Rack.

The expression putting a witness
on the rack has an ancient origin.
The courts had an unpleasant way OF
putting refractory or unsatisfactory
witness on the rack. which was an
open wooden frame. upon which was
laid the victim. His wrists and ankles
were tied to two rollers at opposite
ends of the frame. The rollers were
then moved with levers until the ten
sion caused the body TO rise level with
the frame, and then questions were
addressed to the witness. If be still
proved silent or if his memory needed
slowly until the wretch's bones started
from the sockets.

THE BREADFRUIT TREE.
Many Ways In Which This Strange
Asiatic Plant Is Utilized.

Asiatic Plant Is Utilized.
The breadfruit tree is a native of
southern Asia, the south Pacific islands
and the Indian archipelago. In appear
ance it resembles 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. 1t is a sorosis, is
yearly spherical, often weighs four or
more pounds and has Il thick yellow
rind. This fruit is the chief food of the
south sea islanders. They seldom eat
a meal without it. The eatable part
lies between the rind and the core and
when fully ripe is yellow and juicy.
1t is better for fruit before it has fully
natured, and the natives gather it
while the pulp is white
Before it is ready for table use it
must be roasted, when it looks like
wheat and bread and is both palatable
and nutritious. Usually the fruit is cut
into three or four slices and roasted or
baked in an oven.
Frequently the people of a village
join in making a huge oven, in which
several hundred breadfruits may be
baked at one time. Thus they are all
supplied with bread without its cost
ing any of them much labor Prepared
in this way, the bread will keep for
weeks.
The breadfruit is in season eight
months of the year. When the season
finally draws to a close. the last fruits
are gathered and made into a sour
paste called "mahei." This paste will
| keep good for months and is made
into balls, wrapped in leaves and bak-
/ ed. Just as needed
! Bread is not the only product of the
breadfruit tree. From it cement,
cloth. finder and lumber are also OBJ
tanned. a giutinous. milky juice oozes
from the trunk of the tree. which
makes an excellent cement when boil
ed with cOcoanut oil. From the fibrous
inner bark 4 kind of coarse cloth is
made, and the big leaves make good
towels. The lumber is used for build
ing houses ami many other purposes.
Besides al this. the dried blossoms are
used as tinGer when fires are kindled
