CHEAPEST ENCYCLOPEDIA EVER
OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC.
Announcement. Extraordinary.

Murray's historical and biographical
encyclopedia of the colored race
| throughout the world in six volumes
is now ready for publication and will
be issued at once. For fifteen years
the author. who is an assistant in the
Library of Congress, has been actively
engaged in gathering the necessary
data for this monumental work. 1t is
record of the achievements of the
| foremost men and women of the col
| ored race throughout the world. From
| the time of Ishmael, son of Abraham
down to date, there are fully $4,000
biographical sketches which accentu-
ate the historical volumes. and a bib
| biography of over 5000 books and
pamphlets representing the contribu-
tions of the race to the worlds litera-
ture. And, further. list of all works
of fiction by Caucasian authors, in
their plots that deal with the race
question as feature. Price twenty
four dollars ts24.00) per set of six
volumes. Two dollars down. balance
in monthly payments.
The editor of The Star has knowl-
edge of Mr.. Murray and his work ex-
tending over many years. We also
know of his financial standing, and TO
our way of thinking, there is no risk
attached to sending him an advance
deposit to give him an idea OF how
large an edition he shall issue. We
will undertake to acquaint anyone
with all the facts concerning the mat
ter. if you will address US letter of
inquiry.
Such a work as this means more
to the growing generation than a Ii
brary full of the achievements of the
Caucasian. The Negro child needs
stimulus for his ambition, and this
record of the achievements of black
men and women will give it 10 him.

days the average squire believed i,
taking his religion easily and comfort
ably, and his pew was often the mos
luxurious in the parish. Mr.. pltchhei,
describes 1t as "a cozy, sleep provokiH
structure, curtained off. wherein wa,
often a special fireplace, the pew brin
furnished like a drawing room. II III
clergyman was rather too long preach
ing his sermon the squire would pok,
the fire somewhat impatiently and vic
orously. 1t is reported that sherry aud
biscuits were sometimes served by &
livery servant and that the squire used
to have his letters and newspapers de
livered to him In his pew and to reau
them during the sermon.
when Bishop Wherefore was
shown luxurious squires pew, with u

BY far the most remarkable of edible
flowers is that culled from the butter
tree of India. The blossoms of this
singular tree are the chief means of
subsistence with the Bills and other
Indian hill tribes, An average tree
yields from 200 to $50 pounds of pulpy
bell shaped flowers that when they
drop off during March and April, the
hot months of the Indian year, are
eagerly gathered by the natives They
have when fresh peculiar and lus

Is not pleasant and is best and most

they are cured in the sun, shrivel to
one-fourth of their size and then re
semble nothing so much as raisins
The natives prepare them for food by
boiling or using them in sweetmeats.-

Tea leaf picking" was a Gambler
well Industry in the early nineteenth
century. On May 13, 1888, when two
boys were charged with gambling on
Sunday. one Of them explained that he
got the 2 shillings found upon him,
mot by gambling, your worship, but
by picking tea leaves" "The tea plant
does not happen to grow in this coun-
try. my lad" replied the magistrate:
therefore you are adding a falsehood
to the offense for which you were
brought here, and that offense is al
ways sure to lead to crimes Of more
magnitude"
But the boy explained: 81 am en-
ployed by a cowkeeper at Gambler
well, who sends me into the fields to
gather sloe leaves and black aud white
thorn leaves, and he pays me so much
pound for all pick" And the DO
