the product of a plant that is cult
waited very extensively in the Malay
peninsula, where its culture is almost
entirely in the hands Of the Chinese.
The tubers of the plant (Manihot utilis-
sima), which weigh on an average
from ten to twenty-five pounds, are
first scraped and then carefully wash
ed, after which they are reduced to a
pulp by being passed between rollers.
This pulp is carefully washed and
shaken up with abundance Of water
until the felcula separates and passes
through a very fine sieve into a tub
placed beneath. The flour so obtained
is repeatedly washed and then placed
on mats and bleached by exposure to
the sun and air. It is finally converted
into the pearl tapioca Of commerce by
being placed in a crude shaped frame
covered with canvas. It is. slightly
moistered and subjected to a rotary
melton, by which means it is granu-
lated. 1t is next dried in the sun and
finally over the fire in an iron pan
creased with vegetable tallow and is
then ready for the market.

SLACK WATER PERIOD OF DAY
Two O'Clock In Afternoon, Declares
Writer, 10 for Some Reason q
Time Of, DisiiIusion.

Each period Of the day has its own
subtle quality, which no arbitrary re-
arrangement Of our own hours Of work
and rest can destroy. And two O'Clock
in the afternoon Is q time Of dlsilluS
sion, q time when a man has neither
great faith nor profound convictions,
writes William McFee in the Atlantic.
The morning is gone, the evening too
far away. Even teatime seems at an
immense and tragic distance. 1t is the
slack-water period of the day. And it
is the period when a man may perhaps
experience, in the space Of a flash, a
peculiar sensation of being an impos-
tor! It is, I suppose, in such moments
that generals, commanders, chief en-
gineers and the like jump overheard.
It is a sensation extraordinarily vivid
and brief. No external evidence is Of
any avail to neutralize it's dire and,
dreadful omniscience. mo personal
written record, no ESTEEM of lifelong
friends, no permanent and visible ac-
complishment can shield the sensitive
human soul, thus suddenly stripped
bare by some devilish cantrip of it's
own mechanism. One feels a hollow
sham.

St. Augustine NIGHTS.

BY night Tin st. Augustine) you
may hear the negroes sweeping the
streets, doubly darkling over their
surface and softly gessiping together,
writes w. D. Howells in Harper's
Magazine. Theirs are not the only
black voices you hear, for their cas-
ual acc seems to have no more stat
ed hours for sleeping than eating.
Their melloW murmurs, especially
when the nights are warm, rise in
what seems perpetual joking, as II
from their humorous pleasure at be-:
ing alive together in the same anus
ing world, and if you have no worse
conscience than the takers, their
voices will lull you again to the
slumbers they have broken. 1t is as
if a swarm Of blackbirds, carrying
news of the spring northward, had
swept chuckling through the trees and
fluttered the fans of the palms and
the leaves of the magnolias with such
comment in their curse as would nat
nrally occur to blackbirds.

Brides In India.

A bride in India sees her hus.
band until after the marriage cere'
mony. The parents choose the wife
for the son of the house without con
sulting either party. Sometimes the
bride is as young a. fourteen. The
child is %gorgeously dressed and placed
on a dais behind a sheet, the women
of, the family being in attendance.
On the other side of the sheet are the
bridegroom and many Of his young
men friends. The groom keeps throw
ing over jewels attached to flowers,
which the women on the brides side
remove and place in her lap or on her
person.
This first ceremony is called the
shadee. and. although a man is allowed
four wives. no other ever holds the
same position as the first chosen for
him. The others are of little impor.
lance, living their lives more or less as
servants to the first wife. AS the first
wife gets to middle age she is known
as the begum.-Pearson's Weekly.

Christian Church.

While the attendance at Bible
school was not SO good as usual yet
it was a session OF special interest
ITO those present as both old and
young enjoyed the missionary story
and historical. sketch OF the life Of
one of the pioneer missionaries of
India, given by. Mrs. John Harris.
At the close OF Memorial sermon a
dinner. was served in the basement
of the Christian church by the young
married people of the church. At
ter dinner they assembled in the
auditorium and decided to organize
themselves into a class, also elected
their officers. A temporary teacher
was decided upon until a permanent
one could be secured. The organi-
cation of this class is largely due to
the active effort of Mrs. Stout. and
means not only great strength to
the Bible school, but a strong factor
in the work oftthe church.

ORIGIN Of Man in the Moon.

There is a quaint tradition about
how the belief in the man in the
moon originated. Like many Of these
beliefs, it began in Bible times. by
many nations the old man is supposed
to be the one who first made his APP
pearance in the book of Numbers 10:
32). It is there stated that he was
found by the children Of Israel gath
ering sticks on the Sabbath day. lie
was taken before Moses and con-
demned and was stoned until he died.
One would have thought that that
was punishment enough even for SO
awful a crime, but superstition o
him in hand and consigned him to the
moon, where, with a bunch OF STICKS
on his tired old back, he was des-
tined to climb forever up the shining
hill and never reach the top. the
story goes that his faithful dogs were
permitted to share his fate and, IL
