Quaint Fijian Plant,

There is nothing under the sun quite
so quaint, so weird and witchlike as
the %pandanus prairies of Fiji. The
pandanus, or screw plant, as 1t is
called. is a most grotesque specimen
CT the vegetable kingdom even at the
best and in the early stages Of its
growth. In its very young days it is
of an extraordinary screwlike shape
and looks as though some unkind hand
had taken hold of its long, swordlike
leaves and twisted them round and
round. Later on 1t straightens out a
bit and from II grow a number OF tall
wooden stills. Its foliage Is simple,
a number OF dropping, ragged tufts for
all the world like mops, and very
mournful looking. Among these mops
hangs the fruit, in shape like a pine.

kernels, woody and fibrous, and quite

USE LEAF AS A sTIMULANT.
How Coca 10 cuttivated-Preventive
OF Sleep and Fatigue.

Coca is the South American invig.
GRANT. The shrub from which the coca
leaves are obtained grows under IA
vorable conditions to a height of about
four meters. 1t is cultivated Ii Peru
and Bolivia.
At the time the crop is gathered
the seeds are sown In beds, when they
terminate and grow, and in two
months the growing plants reach q
height OF about a foot. The leaves,
grown in the proper sunlight and
shade, are y~ellowish. small and thick.
This is the kind of leaf that is pre-
ferred for chewing by persons using
the leaf as a stimulant. fortifier and
preventive of sleep and fatigue in the
performance of arduous work, mas.
much as they prevent rheumatism,
from which miners suffer when work.
ing in mines that contain much water.
Indians who masticate the leaves of
this plant can work "a hours without
eating or sleeping.
Coca leaves are used by the natives
when engaged in long and fatiguing
journeys and by soldiers when subject
to hardships and privations. They
may be used with all kinds of food and
are said to cure dyspepsia, either
tea or by m~asticating the leaves. The
life of the plant when perfect is so

NEW zEALANp's WHITE ISLAND.

White island, In Australia, derives
its name from the clouds of white

900 acres, and its height about $50
feet above the sea level. -
In form and color it is like a repos.

which has been dedicated to the men,
DRY Of Capt. Cook. The water Of the
island is Of a pale green hue, and any
thing dipped into it becomes Of a
red brick color. The fumes of sulphur
are always plainly p~erceptible.
On a fine moonlight night a wonder

will sit in an open boat in one of the

Don't always rely upon the ready
wit Of a woman" said the man who Ia
sometimes pleased to consider himself
an oracle. THAT ready wit business
is sometimes prone to get way of.
For example, my wife and children
had been staying in the country for
several weeks and I was regular with
my letters, as every loving husband
should be. Finally on the day before
my wife was to start for home ! con-
cluded my letter to her with these
words:

write to you for a long, long time
When l got down to my office the
next morning I found a telegram from
my wife waiting for me. What on
earth do you mean?' read the dispatch.
Later a registered letter came from
her. She had blotted almost every
line with tears. What IL was all about

Then my telephone bell rang, and
when I answered ! heard my wife's

There are still to be found in Nal.

Converted by Medicine,

A woman missionary, who was also
a doctor, had a curious experience in
Burmah, where, upon her arrival, she
found a village community dying off
like flies with cholera.
She made a house-to-house inspec-
ton, administered a specific, and, hav-
ing broken the back Of the malady,
left behind her several bottles Of the
medicine to be used during her alb
sence. Upon her return the head man
cheered her heart by the greeting:
Teacher. we have come over to
your side; the medicine did us so much
good that we have accepted your God"
He led her to his house and into the
apartment sacred to his worship.
There, arrayed upon the shelf, were
the medicine bottles, and he, with all
his household. instantly bowed down
and prayed to them with thankful and
contrite hearts.
