Tree Juice and Seeds
From Which Candles Are
Made in Other Lands

81
There are three kinds Of trees from
which tallow candles can be made. One
is native of China, and is called by
botanists stillingia sebifera. The seeds
in its fruit are covered by waxlike
substance used by the natives for max
ing candles. @
Another tallow tree grows in the
Western Ghauts Of India, about 1000
feet above sea level. The height Of
the tree, which is an evergreen. is
about 60 feet. 1t Is called the valeria
indica. Its seeds yield pale yellow
ish fat, solid and concrete. By boil
ing the fruit the fat is easily procura-
BILE, and is then either made into
candles or soap, or 1t may be burnt In
lamps.
A third tree from which tallow can
dies may be made Is the African but
ter tree, or Shea tree. Its fruit exudes
yellow. greasy juice, which Is manip-
ulated in a similar manner to those
already described and with equally
useful results.

Edgar Allan Poe Hungry
as He Wrote Some of His
Masterpieces 1849

I When Edgar Allan Poe was maya
zine editor his salary was $40 week.
Poe left the New York Quarterly Re
view in or about 1889 because it, and
he and his family, were getting hun
grier with each Issue, and removed to
Philadelphia, accepting a position with
the Gentleman's Magazine. After his
'"Tales of the Arabesque and Gro
tesque" were published, and when his
fame as poet was, growing, he be-
came a member of the staff Of Gra-
hams Magazine. His contributions and
Mr.. Graham's business head increased
the circulation of the magazine ten
fold within two years. But he re-
signed the editorship Of Graham's be-
cause of his restless temperament and
returned to New York in 1912. He
never regained his footing. Mrs. Poe
died in 1847, and he drifted further
from his mOorings.
He was in such straits in 184S that
he might have snatched at any Oppor-
tunity. He died in October, 1S49.

Braddock Scoring Advice
Of Americans, Was Licked
by French and Indians

In 1775, on the ninth Of July. the
Battle Of the Monongahela, commonly
known as Braddock's Defeat, took
place. Major General Braddock was
the commander of the British forces in
America during the French and Indian
war. He was sent over from England
to expel the French from their en-
croachments west of the Allegheny
mountains. Scoring the advice of the
Americans, who were accustomed to
the Indians tactics, Braddock marched
his army Of 1900 British regulars and
1000 Colonial militia openly toward
Fort Du Quesne and was ambuscaded
and totally routed by a force Of 200
French and 600 Indians. The panic
stricken troops were saved from COM
plete destruction by Washington, who
with the rank Of militia colonel was
serving as an aid to Braddock. Brad
dock himself and so Of his officers

Snake PurIoiner Shared
BY Swallowing Nest-Egg

" had been losing eggs for some
time, and had been laying the loss to
some hounds of neighbor which were
frequently around" writes L. b.
Holmes in Boys Life. Perhaps some
of the loss was justly laid to them. One
night found only one egg in house
where l thought there should be quite
a number, and was just leaving the
house when discovered black snake
about six feet long, with knot or
bunch in his middle that looked as II
1t might be an egg. ! killed him and
carried him to the dwelling house,
where opened him to get the other
egg. 1t proved to be glass nest-egg.
1t had probably prevented his escaping
through the hole he entered the hen
house by and so proved a snare for
him."

Clearing Away the
Wreckage
Belsium:s Activity After the War

p I = *
Before the war Belgium was noted
for density Of population and the high
standard of comfort among its inhab-
itants, all enjoying peaceful condi-
lions. and looking forward to their
general continuance. 1t was indus
trial efficiency and a calm, hopeful
spirit that made Belgium SO populous,
thrifty and legitimately ambitious in
business. No country was ever more
inoffensive. Live well and contented-
7 ~, and let others live likewise, was
the evident motto of Belgium. But
autocracy had secretly mapped It to
be suddenly Overrun and crushed
when the most powerful army in his
tory swept forward to conquer the
world. Belgium met the first impact,
and looks it today. It was indomitable
through four years Of calamity and
captivity. But it has been saved. It
is clearing away the wreckage. There
will be greater Belgium-one tried
by the fire of millions Of hostile SOL
diers and thousands Of cannon. It is
might, not right that is a suppliant
for terms.
What Belgium represented in eco
Monies before the war is an instruc-
tive example for the rest of the world.
Belgium's old prosperity will return
to her, and more abundantly.

An Irish Poetess, Born
in County Cavan, Author
of kathleen Mavourneen'

The words Of the famous song,
kathleen Mavourneen," were written
by Mrs. Julia M. Crawford, an Irish
poetess, who was born in County Ca
van, toward the close of the eighteenth
century. BY taking up her abode in a
small town in Wiltshire, England, and
where she resided for many years, her
biographers have been led into the
error of supposing that she was of
English birth. Besides Kathleen Ma
vourneen," she wrote over hundred
lyrics, mostly Irish in sentiment, and
published, with F. N. Crouch as the
composer of the music. in a volume Of
'Irish Songs" in 1910. Mrs. Crawford
also contributed a great deal of verse
for the Metropolitan Magazine, edited
by Captain Marryat, in London be-
tween 1880 and 1910. It was in this
magazine that kathleen Mavourneen''

Catnip Is Found to Be
Cure for Ivy Poisoning,
Says CIergyman's Wife.

Mrs. Evelyn s. Trenbath, Wife of
Rev. Robert w. Trenbath, rector of
st. James Episcopal church of Mont
clair, N. j.. has conferred boon on
sufferers from poison ivy by announ-
cling remedy which those who have
tried it say is most efficaciOus rem
edy. It is simply the green leaves of
common catnip rubbed on the affect

This never fails, Mrs. Trenbath
says, no matter how advanced the
case may be, and Is simple to use, es-
pecially in the case of children.
The plant grows usually in great
abundance behind old barns, and is
said to be so antagonistic to the ivy
that If planted near 1t the Ivy disap-
pears.

Secret of Success Is
Doing Work Right Way

The secret Of success is not a secret.
Nor is it something new. Nor is 1t
something hard to secure. To become
more successful, become more efficient.
Do the little things better. So work
that you will require less supervision.
The least supervision is needed by the
person who makes the fewest mis-
fakes. Do what you can do and what
you should do for the institution for,
which you are working, and do it In
the right way, and the size Of your In
come will take care of itself. Let your
aim ever be to better the work you are
doing Dreier.
