Though Tmail poem enumerates
800 ways in which the Palmya palm
may be used. one of its most interest
ing uses is the production of sugar
called jaggery. This is the result OF
boiling down the fresh Juice, and is
one of the chief sugars of south India.
Four or five quarts per tree per day
is the yield for four or five months.
Once in every three years the sap
drawing process is omitted, as other
wise the tree would die. The tree
begins to yield at fifteen years and
continues for about fifty years. The
female tree yields about twice as
much sap as the male. Three quarts
of this sap make one pound of sugar
or iaggery. which is the chief sugar
used by the poor classes of India.

Don't Lean on Your Elbows.

When the writer was little girl,
her mother used to warn her constant
ly against leaning on her elbows. you
will have rough elbows like the COS
sips who have nothing to do but lean
out Of their windows and watch their
neighbors.' she would cry, and then
the small daughter would examine her
little fat arms anxiously, twisting her
self painfully in tbs effort to be as,
sured that her elbows did not betray
her in SO unmistakable fashion. 4.
wonder how many would remember
that nowadays when the habit of
leaning on the elbows, "restaurant
fashion," has become so universal that,
it is almost impossible to teach the
children to sit properly at table be-
cause OF the example set them by
their elders? Pretty elbows are the
exception rather than the rule in most
cases, and it does indeed take little
to roughen and disfgure them. A
round elbow is not necessarily point
OF beauty, as it indicates tendency
to embonpoint If there is too much
flesh about the bone.
