adjoining country a brewery can run
and send its products into the dry
county

Just Like Ewes Apple.

A fruit supposed to bear the mark OF
Ewes teeth is one Of the many botar
!cal curiosities Of Ceylon. The tree Oh
which it grows is known by the sig.
nifcant name of ''the forbidden fruit"
or ewes apple tree" The blossom
has very pleasant scent but the real
!y remarkable feature of the tree, the
one to which it owes its name, is the
fruit. It is beautiful and hangs from
the tree in 4 peculiar manner. Orange
on the outside and deep crimson with
in, each fruit has the appearance OF
having had piece bitten out OF It.
This fact, together with its poisonous
quality, led the Mohammedans to rep
resent it as the forbidden fruit OF the
garden Of Eden and to warn men
against its noxlous properties. The
mark upon the fruit is attributed TO
Eve. Why the bite OF Adam did not
also leave its mark is not known, bur
as only one piece seems to be missing
its loss is ascribed to the woman.

The Gather of the Egyptians.

The Leather of the Egyptians.
The ancient Egyptians were skiileo
in the art of tanning leather and man
nfoctured it in various ways and for
various purposes besides that OF fur-
nishinc covering for the feet. indeed
II is to those builders Of the pyramids
that we are indebted for the hrst artis-
tic forms of footwear, and, SO far as
can be ascertained from history anu
the researches Of archaeologists, the
Egyptians were the first shoemaheis
who were worthy Of that name. 1t IS
q fact. too, that tanners Of today en-
ploy very much the same metnoos
rs did the ancients. About the same
materials are used, and the processes
are almost precisely similar to those IN
vogue hundreds Of years ago. IL is
+rne that tanners Of the present DAY
have found means Of greatly shorten
ing the time required to convert a moe
info leather and that steam power ana
modern machinery have done much TO
expedite and improve the processes OF
finishing the leather; but, after all, the
principals of tanning remain the same
as they have been from the first
London Globe.
