Useful Tree.

The most marvellous tree In the
world is the Carnahuba palm, which
grows in Brazil. It's roots produce the
same medicinal effect as sarsaparilla.
From parts of the tree wine and vine
gar are made. It's fruit is used for
feeding cattle. Of the straw, hats,
baskets, brooms and mats are made. 1t
is also used for matching houses. The
pulp has an agreeable taste, and the
nut is sometimes used as subst1-
tute for coffee. It's stems afford
strong, light fbers and serve also for
joists, rafters and other building ma
terials. 1t yields a saccharine sub
stance, as we'll as starch resembling
sago Of the wood of the stem musical
instruments, water tubes and pumps
are made From the stem a white
liquid similar to the milk of the CO.
coanut, may be extracted. Moreover,
salt is extracted from the tree, and
likewise an alkali used in the manu-
facture of common soap.

,o.+ Articles In Railroad Wrecks.

Lost Articles In Railroad Wrecks.
Did you ever stop to think what
might become of your grip, coat OF
other belongings if you were caught In
a wreck? The shock felt after rail-
road accident is usually so great that
material things in connection with it
are lost sight of. Naturally, the hrst
thought is of the recovery and identl-
fcation of those injured. The iden-
LITIGATION part is not always easy, and
sometimes has been accomplished by
some piece of personal property. Aft
er the humane work of caring for the
injured has been done, it devolyes
upon the railroad company to clear
away the debris. Frequently the
quickest and least expensive way to
do this is to burn it, but before this
is possible every effort is made to re-
cover lost personal property. The
value of this often runs up into many
thousands of dollars. In the recent
wreck between New Haven and Wall
ingford, Conn, there was recovered
and returned to the owners between
$40, 900 and $4,000 worth of personal
property.-Leslie's.

Craze for Canoes.

There is quite craze for canoes in
New York. Set in rings, bracelets,
earrings or used as brooches and lock-
cts, they are quantity old fashioned
and artistic. A stunning antique pair
of earrings of long pear shaped eb-
ony pendants with a clear white
cameo rising in the center is most eff
fective, and wedgewood canoes with
their brilliant blue backgrounds are
most stunning in a setting of pearls.
The delicate pale pink coral canoes
make an attractive setting for evening
mounted in filigre gold, and brooches
of the old brown and white cameo set
in a plain golden band are charming
in the buckle of the lew ubiquitous
velvet neckbands. Even high back
combs for the hair are set with cam
eos, and with Grecian evening gown
one aesthetic dancer wore a fillet of
them combining her Titan tresses.

Cruel Act of Warfare.

One hundred years ago General Nc
Clure, learning of the disastrous re-
suit of the American campaign in
Lower Canada and fearing his own
force would be attacked by the British
resolved to evacuate Fort George and
abandon the country. This he accord
ingly did, with all his troops, and with
such precipitancy that he left behind
his tents and stores. His retreat was
accompanied by an act that has left
an indelible stigma upon his name.
The frost had set in early and severe
The snow lay deep upon the ground.
Yet at 80 minutes notice, of $50
houses in the Canadian village Of
Newark, he fired all save one, and
drove 400 helpless women and chill
dren to seek shelter in the log huts
of the scattered settlers, or in the
bark wigwams of the wandering In
dams.

Healthy Yawn,

Yawning is said to have an exceed
ingly healthful function besides hav-
ing salutary effect in complaints of
the pharynx and the eustachian tubes.
According to Investigations, yawning
is the most natural form of respira-
tory exercise, bringing into action all
the respiratory muscles of the neck
and chest. 1t is recommended that
every person should have a good yawn
with the stretching of the limbs morn
ing and. evening for the purpose Of
ventilating the lungs and tonifying
the respiratory muscles. An eminent
authority asserts that this form of
gymnastics has a remarkable effect
in relieving throat and ear troubles,
and says that patients suffering from
disorders of the throat have derived
great benefit from it.

Zanzibar.

Zanzibar, now figuring as a posi-
BILE pawn in an Anglo-German deal
has not come into the British empire
without paying heavy price in blood
and treasure. The island of cloves
was visited for the first time by the
British fleet during the Napoleonic
scare era, but since then we have
kept the upper hand. Very uncompli-
mentary things have been said about
the people of Zanzibar. Professor
Drummond, found the island in 1888,
"Oriental in appearance, Mohamme-
dan in religion, Arabian in morals-a
cesspool of wickedness, fit capital for
a dark continent" But the British
residents appear to have good time
big dinners, golf, tennis and cricket
The local cricket team indeed can be
beaten only by the combined strength
of the British fleet, "once year, anG
sometimes not even then"

Muscular Christianity,

Muscular Christianity found an ex-
ponent in the curate of a northern
diocese of whom Mr.. James Bryce
tells in his Studies in Contemporary
Biography" He had once, under the
greatest provocation, knocked down
person who had insulted him, and the
bishop wrote him letter OF reproof,
pointing out (among other things, that,
exposed as the Church of England was
to much criticism on all hands, her
ministers ought to be very careful in
their demeanor. The offender replied
by saying, I must regret that being
grossly insulted, and forgetting in the
heat of the moment the critical posi-
ton of the Church of England, l did
knock the man down." The bishop

diameter, capable of making a speed
of "a miles an hour and rising to the
height of 1880 feet. A portable shed
for the airship and a gas-generating
plant will be set up at Malu, which
will be used as the base for the expe.
dition. Surveys of the interior viii
be made with the help of instruments
such as the aero camera and photo
perspectrograph. In the beginning,
flights one day in length are to be
made from the base to some poin.
on the coast of New Guinea. After
bird's-eye charts of the interior have
been made, the explorations will be
continued by land expeditions.

Pearls of Scotland,

Scotland still produces pearls, found
mainly in the fresh-water mussel
They could, no doubt, be found ir
England if the industry were profit,
able. Cleopatra was not the only
person who swallowed a dissolved
pearl. Until comparatively recently
they were used incidentally in the
west, and still appear in the materia
medica of China According to one
Chinese authority, pearl, after be.
ing treated with pumice stone and
honeycomb, mixed with the gall of
serpent, might be drawn out to the
length of three or four feet. Make
it into pills and swallow them-hence-
forth food will be unnecessary" Tho
suggestion is not that the patient
would be finished off, but that he
would live, foodless, forever.
