tend to the upbringing of her Of
spring. Twins are bad omen. and
among some of the tribes it has been
customary to tie them to a tree and
permit them to perish.
Sickness is supposed to be punish
ment inflicted by the spirits of the
dead. Dreams afford medium
through which the spirits of the dead
communicate with the living. The
Atayal and Paiwan groups believe the
virgin forests to be the abode of the
spirits of their ancestors, and on this
account trees within certain desig-
mated areas are never disturbed Old
men and women have supernatural
powers of the kind usually attributed
to witches, and for this reason they
perform the religious rites for the
tribe.
Spirits of dead persons other than
maleyolent. The Atayal consider that
the ghosts of their forbears will not
be satisfied unless a human head is
part of the Offering made at ceremo~
malls. Likewise in the case of a dis"
pute between two persons the spirits
of his ancestors will guide and pro-
tect the one whose cause is just, so
that he may obtain the first head and
thereby win.
The soil of Formosa is exceedingly
rich, and nowhere is a finer quality OF
tea produced. The eastern half of the
island is covered with jungle, in
which grows the valuable creeper
known as rattan. But the most prec.
ious vegetable product is camphor,
which is the resin Of tree that grows
to huge size, sometimes attaining a
diameter of twelve feet.
The only way to get the camphor is
to chop the tree into chips, which are
subjected to crude process of dis.
tillation, the vapor, when condensed,
being deposited in crystals on bamboo
screens. This is crude camphor,
which comes to market in wooden
tubs. 1t is refined by redistillation.
At the present time Japan exports
about 100000 pounds of camphor
annually, one-fourth of it being ship
ped to the United States. 1t used to
be refined In Europe and America, but
now the Japanese refine their own
comphor and ship the finished pro-
duct.

Keeping It Secret.

Papa and mamma were laughing at
joke on gran'pa and little Tommy
was keeping close tabs. Gran'pa's
name is Noah Brown.
Little Mollie Smith was asked al
Sunday school who built the ark.
She didn't know and was told TO
have the answer by the following Sum-
day Her mother instructed her.
Noah built the ark" she said. Noah.
The same name as Mr.. Brown. His
name is Noah Brown. You know that
don't you? You've seen his name
above his store. Just remember Mr..
Brown, and then you'll think of Noah"
And very naturally when Mollie was
asked the following Sunday who built
the ark she answered promptly: "Mr.
Brown built it He lives right next
door to u.s."
That's the story papa told mamma.
and when she laughed Tommy was
anxious to see the point. Presently
his face lit up. 81 know it," he
cried. 'Gran'pa built it all right; but
he doesn't want everybody to know
it"

REPRESSION OF p. l. r. PYLE.

Peruvious Ingomar Rensselaer, Pyle,
Was one OF those boys
Who never moment believed it worth
while
To stop making noise.

clock
He was snoring In glee-
He made enough noise to wake the whole
block
Did Peruyious P
He yelled while he dressed and he
stamped on the floor
To the dread of his ma.
He raped on the windows and banged
on the door.
Which wakened his pa tnaturally).
He coasted downstairs and cried when
he fell,
Which made such a din.
That all of the neighbors knew mighty
we'll
When lingo was in.
He footed and banged. p. I. Rensselaer,
Pyle,
- Till folks in the town,
Had him stuffed with guncotton in grand
army style
To keep the noise down.
They wound him in down quilts and
blankets and fleece
In undisguised hopes
That 'twould stifle the noise and bring
back the peace.
They tied him with ropes.
When I tell you that mercury stood In
the shade
At a hundred and ten.
You'll know how uncomfortable Ruvey
was made,
He won't racket again.

nephew, "you see the little bird out
side the cage? Well, soon you shall
see the little bird walk right into the
cage without our having to touch the
bird, the cage, or the pencil"
"Oh, how?" cried Harry, in astonish-
ment
In answer to this question Uncle
and drew from his pocket an ordinary
calling card, which he told Harry to
place upon the dotted line and watch
the bird carefully, his nose just touch
ing the card.
All was still in the room for q mo-
ment and then aHrry cried out:
HE is moving-he really is-there
he goes right into the cage!"
Just then the card dropped and
Harry looked at the paper in amaze
ment, for there was the cage, the dot
ted line, and the bird beyond the dot
ted line just as 1t had been before.
Uncle Dick laughed at Harry's con-
fusion, then explained to him that it
was sort of trick; that the bird did
not really go into the cage at all, yet
It seemed so to him because 1t was a
proof of simple sight with both eyes.
or. and he laughed at the look of won
der in the little boys face, what wise
men like your old uncle know as bi.

Harry committed the long word to

done, drew a cage with two birds out
side, then a whole flock, and joyously
watched them journey inside the bars

half pound garlic (bruised), one pound
stoned raisins or sultanas, one-half

To Clean Straw Hats.

Cut lemon in half and rub the cut
surface over the soiled straw, squee-
zing the Juice out while rubbing. The
straw will soon be as bright as when
new; then rub dry corn meal over the
straw with sponge or rag to remove
any particles of lemon. Or you can
strain lemon Juice through a fine
fabric and dip an old toothbrush into
the juice and scour the straw. Or you
can dissolve tartaric acid in water to
make what is practically lemon juice.

TIN tired to DEATH cried Johnny,
When his ma called him to tea;
i've hoed and dug and planted
Till I can hardly see.
I've made a fine big garden
And planted things just so.
And now I'll rest little
Till the seeds begin to grow.
"And when the crisp white onions
And beetS and lettuce, too,
And peas and beans and carrots
Have all come nicely through.
''1'll keep the weeds from growing
Round them, so good to eat,
And when my gardens ready
Well have a great big treat"
