Catherine Cloves.

Gloves are now cultivated in many
of the tropical regions of the earth. A
Glove tree begins to bear at the age of
ten years and continues until it reach
es the age of seventy-fve years. There
are two crops a year, one in June and
one In December. The tree is an ever
green and grows from forty to fifty
feet high, with large oblong leaves
and crimson flowers at the end Of
small branches in clusters Of from ten
to twenty. The tree belongs to the
same botanical order as the guava.
The cloves, which are the undeveloped
buds, are at first white. then light
green and at the time Of gathering
bright red Pieces of white cloth are
spread under the trees at harvesting
time, and the branches are beaten gen.
tly with bamboo sticks until the cloves
drop. They are dried in the sun, being
tossed about daily until they attain
the rich dark color which proclaims
them ready for shipment.

There is a tendency for children Of
exceptional parents to regress toward
the average stock. Cation terms this
tendency filial repression. This, the
London hospital points out, applies
equally to exceptional physical and
mental characters. Thus. though tall
stature may run in certain families,
yet there is always a tendency to re-
vert to the mean average size. SINH
larly the children of a genius tend to
have somewhat less than their fathers
power, but more than the average Of
the race. According to Professor Pear
son, distinguished parents are just ten
times more likely to have distinguished
offspring that undistinguished parents.
Still, such cases as the Darwins, "a
Their and sons; the two Pitts. Philip and
Alexander the Great are exceptional.
Similarly also the children of a Grim
inaI tend to be less vicious than the
father, though morally inferior to the
average man.

said by those who witnessed 1t to have
been as fierce conflict as had ever
been known.

years before, taking his place at the
head Of the seven battalions Of guards.

country by Lady Mary Wortley Mon

well for the average sobr1ety Of the

petsotlna q Thief.

Some of the stories In the Folklore
Of the Holy Land" seem to be at least
founded on fact. And, indeed, when
we come down to quite recent times
we find undoubtedly genuine stories
that might have been told of the days
of the caliphs.
Here-is one of Ibrahim Pasha:
A goldsmith of Jaffa complained
that his house had been robbed and
remarked that the Egyptian Occupa-
ton had not brought security.
The pasta promised redress.
The next day he came to the mans
shop and in the presence Of great
crowd ordered the executioner to give
the door a hundred lashes.
Then he stopped as If to listen. 1.-THE
door tells nonsense" he cried; "an-
other hundredv
He stopped again.
1.-THE same tale; the door persists
that the thief Is somewhere In this
crowd of honest people and that he
has some of the dust and cobwehs
from the shop on his tarboosh.'
He had his eye on the crowd and
saw a man hastily raise his hand to
brush his fez.
The man was arrested and confessed
his guilt.

Once upon time, not so long ago, a
couple Of cowpunchers found them
selves guests In the home of minister
Of the gospel whose custom was to
hold family worship of a morning and
to conclude the same by asking each
one present to give some quotation
from the Scriptures. One after an
other repeated some text until at last
it came the turn of Jim Bulstoke Of

dominic as he saw the latter hesitat-

Jim's face was bathed with profuse
perspiration. but at last there came to
him some approximation of memory
Of something he had read or heard at
some stage of his life about the first
chapter Of Genesis At last he broke
out, God made the world"
The dominic lifted a hand to hide a
sudden smile, but bowed to Jim's
neighbor in the circle. Curley was
even worse off than Jim had been and
for the life of him could not think of
anything. At last, remembering the
occasional virtue of good bluff. he
