Soap Tree in Florida.

Side by side grow the soap tree ana
the tallow tree. The soap tree yields
a product from which is manufactures
the purest article OF soap that IS
possible to be made. Indeed, the pulp
of the berry is natural soap and
will make a lather almost like the
manufactured article. The soap berry
tree is now creating widespread in
terest and the berries are being I'M
ported from Algiers and China.
1t will pay to plant the trees AMI
look after their cultivation. The pro
duct of the tallow tree also enters
into the product of soap and the two
together make a nice combination,
and their cultivation should be look
ed after by those interested in new
industries. Besides soap the soap
berries make a very fine oil, ana
when the virtues of the tallow tree
are fully known it may also yield
fine and profitable oil. The young
man who now plants out ten or
twenty-acre orchard of these two trees
may drop into an easy fortune.-Ocali

CHAUFFEUR AND CHILD.
Something May Be Done to Scare the
Other Fellow

Darragh. chauffeur, who lately ran
own and killed boy in New York.
and ran away, has been captured in
Texas He admitted his crime, AMI
the papers say:
"He declared that while passing
along the street in his automobile he
approached a crowd of boys playing.
In the scramble to get away one o.
the boys was struck by the lamp and
mudgear and knocked down.
Probably that is true, because !.
describes what commonly happens.
The scene is perfectly familiar-chil-
dren in the street, and an automobile
coming toward them lickety-split.
These of them who get out of the
way in time are not run over. Some
thing can doubtless be done to keep
children out of the streets of cities.
a great deal can certainly be done to
make chauffeurs wary of running over
them. There are streets and streets.
In some, children abound and vehicles
are scarce. In such streets the chill.
dren's play-rights are paramount ana
vehicles should respect them. AMI
there are great thoroughfares and
minor ones where vehicles abound ana
children are scarce, and in these the
rights of vehicles are paramount.
What seems to be needed is to in
duce relations of mutual terror be-
tween children and chauffeurs, so that
the chauffeur shall be just as badly
scared at the sight of the child in
the street as the child is at the sight
of the automobile coning.-Harper's

A Strong Oath.

The members oath in the House Or
Commons is, in these days, only an
affair between himself and the Clerk
at the table, and passes without a.
tracing any particular attention. The
new member for East Edinburgh.
however, has created something IN
the nature of a record by taking the
oath in the Scots fashion. with upliet-
ed hand. and in an audible voice. Mr..
Gibson has thus set an example
which, if it should be generally fol-
lowed, will make for dramatic effect,
but will take UP a good deal of time.
Moreover, a solemn admiration of this
kind might not in all cases commend
itself so we'll as does the perfunctory
humble that is customary on these
occasions.-Pall Mall Gazette.
