POISON TREES.
They Are Found In Only Two Places
In The World.

In only two places in the world
Queensland and the west coast of
Africa, can there be found that most
remarkable of nature productions,
the erythrophlocum labocheri Cor
poison tree.) Referring to this tree
in speaking at a meeting of the Sgd
ney Natural History Society, A.
Meston, formerly protector Of ab-
origines in northern Queensland,
says that when in full foliage it is
one of the most beautiful trees in
the world. The wood is elegantly
grained and marked by colors and
peculiar streaks, which readily dis
tlngulsh it from any other known
| timber. 1t is extremely hard and
tough, and the blacks of the Cape
York peninsula use it for making
their woomeras, with which they
throw the spear. The tree bears
long rods containing beans, which,
like the leaves, are fatal to all ami
NAL life. The stomach of a dead
goat or a dead sheep may show only
three or four undigested green
leaves. All animals are blind before
they die, and remain blind if they
recover. This tree killed sixteen of
the Chilagoe company's camels. 1t
killed some of the horses and cattle
Of the Jardine brothers in their ex-
pedition to Cape York in 1864. On
one occasion it killed several thous-
and sheep on the gulf rivers. Occa-
sionally an aboriginal Lucretia Bor-
gia disposes of a rival by mixing
some crushed beans in mashed yam
or pounded conjeboi, and the unhap-
py Juliet can nevermore gaze upon
her lost Romeo. Even inhaling the
smoke of the burning wood is said to
have a disastrous effect upon ladies

A Governor OF Many Opportunities.

Governor Kitchin has had more
opportunities to reward political
friends ard at the same time make
political enemies than any chief ex-
ecutive in our recollection. Up to
the time Judge w. H. Neal resigned
from the superior court bench such
a thing as judge voluntarily step
ping down and out was unusual, to
say the least. 1t was an accepted
political axiom that 'few die and
none resign" Since that time Judge
Erasmus B. Jones and Judge O. H.
Guion have resigned, and Judge F.
A. Moore died. With the vacancy
on the Supreme Court bench, which
he filled by the appointment of
Judge Manning, Governor Kitchin
mas had to fill five judicial vacancies.
1t is generally conceded that Govern
or Kitchin has chosen wisely in every
instance.-Durham Sun.

How They Got Out.

Uncle Ephriam had two hogs

his little lot They were of the "ra-

they were fed bountifully with kitch-

put any fat on their attenuated

out to feed them they were not there
They had disappeared, leaving no
clue to the manner in which they
had made their escape.

Big Profit From One Turkey Egg.

Master Howard Parrish, son of
William Parrish, of Cox, Randolph
county, found a turkey egg in the
woods last spring, which he carried
home and put under a setting hen.
When the hen came off with her
brood of chickens he gave the tur-
key egg, with other eggs, to another
hen. At the end of a week, which
made the fourth week, the turkey
was hatched. The hen left her nest
and raised the turkey The boy sold
the turkey for 1920 and with the
money bought a pig. He fattened
the pig and sold it for 1920 cash.
Mr.. Parrish had no turkeys and it
was thought that the egg was from
a wild turkey.-Ashboro Courier.

Teach Children How to Do Things.

Knowing how to do anything is
the secret of success. There are so
many tired mothers in the homes to-
day dreaming of the time when their
daughters and sons will be grown
up and help them, not realizing that
now is the time to be teaching the
children how to work, and giving
them every opportunity to learn
encouraging them in the belief that
they are essential to the happiness
of the home while they are little in
stead Of making them feel that they
are in the wav and can do nothing.
1t requires patience and much pre-
cious time to teach the children any
thing, but it is the only source to in
dependence The introduction of
domestic science and agriculture in
the public schools will do much, but
the foundation must be laid in the
homes. Children always take nat
urally to all kinds of work if we be-
gin to teach them early enough.
The trouble has been that the mother
in waiting for them to get 'big
enough to begin has lost the most
precious time that can ever come in
the lives of her children. Meantime
they have learned much that was OBJ
jectional and formed habits they
never would have known had she led
them gently and wisely into lives Of
service. Mrs. Sue V. Hollowell. in

SHOOTING STARS.
They Are Composed Solid or Gaseous
Substance, and Are Not Stars.

People have strange ideas of what
they call shooting stars They
are not stars by any means. The
nearest star is 25,OOO,0O0, ,O0O, 600
miles away from US, while the farth-
est shooting star" is not over fifty
miles. Quite a difference, that
The meteors or shooting stars" are
of solid or gaseous substance, that
wander in from somewhere, and
upon striking the earth S atmosphere
their speed is SO great as to create
intense friction, which ignites the
meteor, and thus we see it blazing
across the sky. Most Of these me-
teors are consumed by the heat thus
created while plunging through the
air; but few strike the earth. The
latter are metal, mostly iron, and
very hard. Where do they come
from? 1t is not exactly known.
Many of them are no doubt frag-
ments of comets that have broken
up in their journey around the sun
and which still pursue the old orbits
Others probably have been thrown
out by the sun, moon, planets, aster-
oids or other heavenly bodies, and
flying aimlessly through space, have
encountered the earth and joined
one glorious destiny.
There is one very interesting fact
connected with meteors that have
struck the earth. Hundreds of
them have been examined and found
to contain animal remains; that is,
Of the very lowest forms Of life.
This indicates that they are parts of
a world that burst into fragments
long, long ago. What thought a
world broken up and scattering
through space! May be we had an
other moon once, but that broke into
pieces; and may be they are parts of
the planet that once revolved be-
tween Mars and Jupiter. Over 800
of the larger pieces Of this planet
have been discovered and cata-
logued. One of these flew away in
side of Mars outfit; why may rot
many Of the smaller pieces and these
solid meteors be they? 1t is proba-
bly, so. Columbus Journal.

Air Rooms Before Using.

Air once used in the lungs is not
clean, consequently when indoors the
air should be as fresh as possible.
This may be accomplished by having
the room aired before occupancy, by
having it continually ventilated while
occupied, which in winter is best ac-
complished by having window
board slipped under the sash causing
the cold air to be DETECTED upward

and shooing the chickens out OF the

the boy at home to not play ball to-
day, and to not go to the swimming
pool, and wait until tomorrow to go
fishing, he thinks his lot in life is
hard indeed, and there is little left
for boy to enjoy. We have all had
