Pods Containing Brazil Nuts Drop
From Trees Sometimes One Hun
dred Feet High.

In this country Brazil nuts are al
most as we'll known as walnuts, yet
few know the manner of their growth
and the steps taken in their collection
and marketing. The tree itself is the
most majestic in the valley of the
Amazon, where it attains a height
ranging from fifty to one hundred feet.
Generally several hundred trees are
found in a group. The control of the
best producing districts long ago
passed to private individuals, hence
the natives are not free to pick and
sell the nuts at will. The BraZil-nut
tree does not begin to bear fruit until
it attains the age of so years or there
abQuts, and continues to produce crops
internationally almost forever; at least,
trees known to be hundreds OF years
old have produced crops. The pods in
which the nuts are contained drop in
November and December. These pods
are very hard and weigh several
pounds, consequently the paA are
studiously avoided during the period
in which the pods are dropping, since
it would be extremely hazardous for
the gatherers to expose themselves to
the danger of having the pods fall on
them from such a great height. Each
pod is al least seven inches in dame
ter, and is full of nuts. The pod is
usually opened with a machete,

Uses of TUNGSTEN.

Tungsten is used principally as an
alloy of high-speed steel-that is, steel
used in making tools used in metal
turning lathes running at high speed
to which it imparts the property of
holding temper at higher temperature
than carbon steels will. according to
the United States geological survey.
The now well-known ductile tungsten
is used for incandescent lamps, which
are fast displacing carbon lamps. Re-
Gently greatly improved lamps, In
which the wire is wound in helices
and in which the globes are filled with
nitrogen, have produced a close APP
proach to white light. These lamps
are furnished in candle powers up to
1000. Ductile tungsten is practically
insoluble in all the common acids;
its melting point is higher than that
of any other metal, its tensile strength
exceeds that of iron and nickel, it is
paramagnetic, it can be drawn to
smaller sizes than any other metal
(0.0002 inch in diameter), and it's spe-
cific gravity is 70 per cen higher
than that OF lead.

Candy an Alcohol Cure.

AS many persons are prejudiced
against candy, it is interesting to note
that DR.. William S. Sadler, in his
book, Worry and Nervousness" holds
up candy as n of the most effective
foes to alcohol. He points out that
heavy drinkers seldom eat candy or
sugar, and contends that the reason
for this is that alcohol is in part SO
utilized by their systems that there
is little physiological need for sugar.
Therefore, in curing his alcoholic pa
tients he encourages them to develop
a sweet TOOTH" and finds that their
consumption of sugar helps very large
ly in removing the craving for alcohol.
The moral seems~to be that the person
who is fond of candy should not be
twitted about it as il it were a weak
ness: that fondness for sweets may

FOURTEEN WASTED NO TIME
But the Other One of the Fifteen Whe
Wanted to Telephone Was

Fifteen men were waiting in line to
use the cigar store telephone. and FIVE
of them had to catch trains. The re-

of a young man in peg top trousers
and a rah-rah hat. This Is a portion

rotund travelling salesman at the end
of the line as he gave a mighty heave
and pushed the Is men along so sud-
denly that the young man, who was
standing with his feet crossed, was
precipitated suddenly through a door
and into a back room on his elbows
and shoulder blades. The first man in
line grabbed the phone, got his num-
Der and yelled:
"H'lo, Mag; I'm goin' to Cleveland
and / won't be back for five weeks.

time than the first one. They were all
married and seven of them wanted to
tell their wives that they wouldn't be

OUR FcRTy-THiRD YEAR

With this issue The Journal
begins its forty-third year. The
changes that have taken place

the confidence of the people of
our little city and of the county.
1t has all along received a lib

duly appreciative and thankful.

right and to the best interest of
the people it served.

again thank our friends for their
patronage. for their sympathy

Teachers. Meeting

The teachers of Lee county
held a very interesting meeting
at Tupelo on last Saturday. Ii
was said to be one of the best
meetings ever held in the county
and perhaps was attended by a
greater number of teachers than
any previous meeting.
A permanent organization was
established and it is the purpose
of the association to hold regular
meetings throughout the year
and to take up the study of some
specific work.
After an able discussion of the
different topics on the program
the election of officers for the
present year followed. The re-
suit was as follows: A. L. Bur-
dine. president. and Miss Jennie
Cunningham. secretary.
The meeting adjourned until
the next regular meeting in
April.

given by Mrs. M. g. Milligan on
Wednesday afternoon. Feb. II.
The hostess received her guests
in that gracious manner which is
characteristic of her and at once
made each guest feel that she
was a special guest. The house
was beautiful with jonquils and
narcissus.
Each guest was called on to
give a bit of Irish wit, which
caused much merriment.
Mrs. McCown read an interest
ing sketch of st. Patrlck's life,
after which each guest had to
kiss the Barney Stone. which
was suspended from the window
of an ivv-made castle.
Mrs. j. P. DeFord delighted
the guests by singing several
Irish and Scottish love songs.
