A Curious Tree.

One OF the natural curiosities Of
south Mashonaland is German
sausage tree 1t bears deep crimson
flowers. three inches long. in blazing
punches Of twelve, but when the tree
fruits into fat. substantial, sausage.
like pods there remain no leaves, and
1t looks like sausage larder indeed.
These beans are twenty inches long
and twelve inches In girth and are be-
loved of the native tribe Of Shangaans
and balloons. But the tribe of the
karenga are very superior people
and would never deign to eat them.
There can be no reason for this, as
at least no one can accuse these "sau.
sages" Of being connected in any way
With dogs or cats.-NataI Witness.

"a little after midnight Mr.. Holmes
awoke and said the doctor was starv-

would like to eat.
"'Corned beef and cabbage replied
the old man.
The captain found some in the pan
