Meat-Bearinu Tree.

In Mexico grows a tree called the
Avocado, whose pear-shaped fruit is
reputed to be composed of the sub
stances which are to be found in meat
1t contains about twenty per cent o:
Tat and many other ingredients of
great food value, and one good-sized
meat" pear is quite sufficient TO make
q meal for the average man.
The reason why the fruit is so little
know at present is because 1t is
grown nowhere on a large scale, what
few trees there are grown round the
huts Of the natives, where they flour

MANY IDEAS ABOUT THE PIN
Superstition of All Kinds Has Been
Gathered Around Humble House
hold implement.

During the reign of James J., the
metal pins come into fashion. In 1917
a machine for producing entire pins
was invented by an American, Seth
| Hunt but it remained for Samuel
/ Wright of Massachusetts TO patent
/ in 1924 the wonderful pin-making ma
chine which is generally used today.
A certain amount of witchery and
romance has always been associated
with the humble pin. In olden times
II was regarded as charm against
and also as an implement of witch
craft Witches were supposed TO force
, their victims TO swallow pins, while,
on the other hand, pins stuck in the
heart of an animal and carefully pre-
served were considered the appro-
pirate antidote to evil influences. In
Wales there existed a grim supers;i-
ton that a toad pierced with pins
would cause the life Of an enemy to
wither as the poor creature itself slow
ly died In Russia ii is considered
unlucky to meet priest on leaving
a house-a state OF affairs which can
only be remedied by throwing a pin
at him; and in Iceland if man is
suspected Of walking after death
pins and needles are thrust into the
feet of the corpse.
Readers of romance will remember
how people were believed to be be
witched and led 20 lingering death by
regularly sticking pins into wax eff
yies of them. Even today in the bacb
country a favorite charm" to make
