ROOT COTTON FOUND IN ORIENT.

An interesting new tropical prod
uct is the ''root cotton" described by
S. Kusano, a japanese botanist. 1t
is a fibrous covering of the roots of
Fagara integrifoliola, an abundant
plant of the Philippines, and espe-
cially of Botel Tobago, an island
near Formosa. The substance seems
to be a kind of cork tissue, resem-
bling the ordinary cork developed
on the bark of trees. The fbers, of
light straw color and silky luster,
are very fine, soft, and weak, and are
easily pulverized to a waxy powder,
They are less Microscopic than ordi-
nary cotton, having remarkable re-
sistance to wetting by water. In
Botel Tobago the natives use the root
cotton for calking boats, and in the
Philippines it is employed for such
purposes as stuffing pillows. Not
least of the advantages of this mate
rial as a possible article of commerce
is the fact that it can be removed
without injury to the roots, thus
making cultivation simple.

SPOILED WEDDING BREAKFAST.

The jealousy of the bridegroom's
brother brought wedding breakfast
to rude termination the other day.
1t was the marriage day of a couple
of Besztetrczebanya, a Hungarian
village, after an engagement of sew
eral years. After they had returned
from the ceremony the bridegroom's
brother rose at the wedding break
fast, and, after toasting the young
couple and wishing them every hap
piness, declared that he had loved
his sister-in-law as long as he had
known her, and that he could not
bear to see her married to another
man. He then shot himself through
the head.

IN LAND OF WHITE NIGHTS
Summer In Finland Just One Long,
Uninterrupted Day That Must
BE Monotonous.

June is the month of the "white
nights" in the north. In Finland one
can read a newspaper in the open air
at midnight, and the sky is bright
with a tender, gentle radiance. There
is no break between the sunset and
dawn, and the same rosy flush serves
for both.
Strictly speaking, summer in Fin
land is just one long day. The mo-
merIt the first star glimmers in the
south it is a sign that autumn is at
hand. The long period of light ex-
ercises a marvellous effect upon vege-
tation and the leaves of trees grow
to an enormous size. Up north, the
development of plant life is crowded
into a few weeks, but it is none the
less perfect for that.
Though few people realize it, it
is a fact that in June London has
only 51s hours of darkness. Up at
Aberdeen in clear nights, there is no
darkness, only a kind of twilight.
Scottish gardeners, if they wished,
could work in the open at midnight,
except, perhaps, in the south of our
sister country.

NO CARD PLAYING IN CHILE


A woman who is native of Chile
was talking recently about the diff
Guilty she had in accustoming herself
to card playing among women when
she came to this country.
ain Chile card playing among
women is undreamed of. Perhaps it
is not too much to say that a Chilean
would no more play cards than a
New York woman would enter
Broadway saloon. It isn't that it is
exactly, or wholly, a matter of NOR
ais with us. 1t just isn't the thing
to do. 1t is not conventional. When
l came to New York / brought my
daughter-in-law with me, a Chilean
girl. She and l were both horribly
shocked to receive an invitation to a
bridge party in the day time. 1t was
too much for us and we declined"
says the New York Post. "0ther
similar invitations came, and kept
coming. Finally, our curiosity got
the best of us and we went to one of
these affairs. Even after we got over
our sense of outraged convention the
whole thing seemed curious to US.
The funniest sight of all was the
women with little tags on them, as
if marked by fast express or run
ming up to another woman with lit

FERTILE NEW ZEALAND.

AS showing the wonderful produc-
tivity of the soil in some of the To-
calities of New Zealand, one grower
recently took 80 cases of Bon Cretien
pears off single tree, while several
plum trees actually fell over owing
TO the enormous weight of fruit the
trees we're carrying. This is not an
isolated case of heavy bearing, as
numbers of other growers in the
same districts have had similar ex.

DOCTOR QuAYLE's QUIET HINT
prosractsd Session Of Well-MeanIna
Friends Had "oot on the Nerves"
Of Them Al.

DR.. W. A. Quayle, bishop Of the
Methodist church and q popular lee
turer, in the early days Of his minis
try went back to preach one Sun
day to a former congregation in Kan
sas, and was entertained by one Of
his old parishioners. After the eve
ming services the family gathered
round the hearth and exchanged
"reminiscences with their guest, APP
parently without any thought Of re-
firing. Eleven o'clock came and IL
O'Clock.
The conversation Jagged and all
showed unmistakable signs of weari-
ness. Doctor Quayle yawned polite
ly and rubbed his dropping eyelids.
His host moved restlessly in his
chair. His hostess eyed the time
piece with growing alarm. The very
air was drowsy, but no one seemed
able to end the awkward situation.
Finally, as the clock chimed 80
o'clock, his hostess asked deprecat-
ingly, but with note of desperation
in her voice:
Brother Quayle, when do you go
to bed?"
"When I get a chance" replied
Doctor Quayle meekly.

Oddities OF Justice,

That the whole theory of penal
codes is practically unsound and OPP
posed to the modern conceptions OF
the relation OF the state to crime. Is
the contention OF Eugene Smith OF the
New York bar, writing In the May
number of Case and Comment. the
lawyers magazine Illustrating tho
absurdity and disparity between pen.
atty for crimes in different states.
Mr.. Smith says: The average sen.
tence for perjury in Florida is ten
years. In Maine one year; for larceny.
In Delaware ten years, IL the District
OF Columbia ten months; the penalty
for arson in Pennsylvania is twice
that OF burglary. but in Connecticut
the guilt of burglary is twice that Of
arson; the guilt OF counterfeiting in
Ohio is twice that of perjury, but in
Rhode Island the guilt OF perjury is
twice that of counterfeitinE.
