NATURAL SOAP.
The Queer Fruit Of Tree That Grows
In Algeria

The Queer Fruit OF Tree That Grows
In Algeria
Soap grows on trees in Algeria The
soap tree is ornamental and reaches a
height of fifty feet. 1t begins to bear
fruit when six years old. The wood is
close grained, takes a good polish and
is admirably suited for furniture. The
average income from a tree is $40 to
$50 a year. The composition of the
fruit consists of a nut shaped hull In
which is a seed. In the hull exists the
soapy matter In the proportion of 80
to 40 per cent of the bulk of the hull.
The soap principle is set free by the
shredding of the hull and using it with
water just as If it We're a piece Of soap.
A beautiful lather is the result, and the
cleansing qualities are such that there
is no soap made by human process that
can compare with them. For toilet
purposes the same applies. The hull
can be made into a powder and the
powder into cake, 50 as to make the
use Of 1t easier. 1t can also be made
into liquid for hair wash, dentifrice

Of the Algerian soap tree have been inn
ported to the United States, and soap
trees have been discovered in Florida
indigenous to the sol. The seed has
kernel which contains fixed oil In ev-
cry respect preferable to the best f1D-
ported olive OIL, either for eating or
culinary purposes, and also for all
kinds Of industrial products in which
the olive oil is used The yield in oil is
twice that of the olive fruit.-BaIt-

A HUMAN MACHINE.
He Was Able to Correct a Language
lie Did Not Understand

When Max Muller was preparing his
edition of the Rigveda he had, so the
story goes, an Illustration Of the in
Stinctfve wisdom of the compositor.
In providing the manuscript for about
5000 sheets of print the author nat
urally tripped from tine to time.
Whenever he did trip, there ON his
proof was the error queried In a care
full hand. Surely, he thought, some
unknown scholar in the university
must be overlooking his proofs with
kindly interest and making the cOrrec-
lions for him. Inquiry showed that
this was not the fact The corrections
were the corrections of the man who
set up the type. did this man, then,
bit of it Use and wont enabled him
to detect the errors as a hungry child
scents a cooking dinner The diScOV-
cry originated through his arm rather
than from any intellectual doubt, and
that arm was palSiedi
This printer had sustained an acct
dent, leaving him with an arm partly
paralyzed, and as this made him slow
er with his setting his masters turned
him on to Sanskrit, with which he had
had no previous acquaintance, He had
10 learn upward of 800 types for the
work, but he learned them and accus-
toned himself to the work Now,
many of the letters I'm Sanskrft cannot
follow each other or, if they do must
be modified In writing Muller some
times forgot these notifications, but
they were all marked on the proof.
Muller was so interested that he sought
out the printer to ask him how he
was able to correct language which
he did not understand. The explana-
ton was remarkable: "You see, sir,
my arm gets into regular swing
from one compartment of types to
another, and there are movements that
never occur. So if / suddenly have to
take up types which entail a new
movement ] feel it and put a query"

MANS HEADGEAR.
From the Primitive Cap to the Glossy
High Hat Of Today.


High Hat Of Today.
Earliest of all forms of headgear was
the cap. The hat did not really come
into common use till the seventeenth
century. In the time of Charles l. the
queer high sugar loaf shaped hat came
into fashion. 1t was wound with a
rich band and trimmed with a feather.
Constant balancing of the head was
necessary to keep 1t ON The hat was
taken up by the Pur1tans, who salts
fed their bitter consciences by discard
ing the frivolous band and the wicked
feather
Charles IL brought the French peri
went out to make way for a low, broad
brimmed thing, gorgeous with feathers
and gtmcTackS These broad brfms be
came broader and broader. At hast Il
became necessary to turn them up.
First this was done at the back, finally
according to the weare's idea.
Out Of this extravagant style of head
gear grew the cooked hat. The foot
men and the liveried coachmen Of
Sany European nations still wear this
style of headgear. During Queen Anne's
time the cooked hat was the hat Of the
gentleman. The correct fashion was
TO carry it under the arm as much as
possible.
The French revolution, which took
off 50 man, heads that had worn the
cooked hat, took off the cooked hat too.
In it's place the crescent shape became
the style, partly by force. The direct
ancestor Of that dreadful thing, the
high hat of today, was the. noble and
sturdy beaver. Beavers went out of
fashion largely because the supply of
material became exhausted.-London

THE BIRD CLOWN.
A Queer Kind of Fellow Is the yellow,
Breasted Chat.

Breasted Chat.
The oddities of the yellow breasted
chat begin even with his classification.
To think of a warbler the size of a
Baltimore oriOle, warbler with a
song like a hooking bird! Indeed,
there is little about the chat that is
not remarkable. He goes in for the
weird and the spectacular. If Nature
designed him to show what she could
do in the way of the unusual and the
eccentric, she had remarkable success.
This bird and not the catbird is the
real clown of the woods" Clown of
the thicket would be more apt, for, like
the catbird, he prefers the shrub and
lower trees. A wild tangle of briers
and vines is a favorite haunt 1t IS
only the better to survey such a re-
treat that he mounts to the top of a
tree From his lofty perch he sings,
to the amazement and bewilderment
Of the person that hears the song for
the first time. More likely than not
he will become invisible and silent
upon the first attempt to approach
ulIn, remaining QufeC anu nIQQen I'LL
you move on again; then he chuckles
loudly and scolds and splits and SCOTS
till you are out of sight and hearing.
No bird is so fearful of being seen
or such a master of hide and seek. 1t
is worse than useless to try to steal a
march on him. He manages to be al
ways ON the wrong side of the next
bush. If you should find his nest,
which is pretty little basket of straws
and weed stalks lined with fine grasses
and strips of soft bark or leaves placed
a foot or more above the ground among
tan weeds or bushes, the sitting bird
steals away and is at once lost to
sight. Take a peep at the white, red
speckled eggs and then hide among
the bushes as far away from the nest
as you can while still keeping It in
sight. You may have to wait for an
hour and even make other trips to the
spot, but this is the surest way to get
good look at this shy one.-St. Mich
