Sausage Tree.

Africa is a land of strange contra
dictions. In many of the lower. un
inhabited parts, the tropical luxuri-
ance is beyond description, with state
ly fan palms, mangoes, pawpaws. ba-
nanas and plantains. In other sections
it is barren desert. Some of the
forests are tall and dense with eu-
phorbia, teak, cottonwood, tamarind
and shea-butter trees that grow to an
extraordinary height. while the high
land for the most part is devoid Of
vegetation. OF all the trees there is
none more curious than the Sausage

lily, and which is found in other parts
of the world as well. In Egypt they
call 1t the "Labbak." or "Women's
Tongues" because it 'looks in at the

Cecile escaped into the booth, and,

ALWAYS A RESTLESS RACE
nant Traits That Mark the
Anglo-Saxons.

"a curious race, the AnglO-Saxon-
restless, not quite knowing what it
wants, with the genius of dissatisfac-
ton more acutely developed than in
any other race. He must crawl all
over the earth and see what's doing.
He has an uncomfortable impetus to
see over the ridge. He must 60 and
pole, and wade through malarial for
ests in central Africa. He doesn't
know why, but he just has to do this.
Then he returns home and after a
long time thinks about it all-he's
rather slow in the uptake. And then
one day-o: more probably one night
something starts worrying him.
Those women who threw their babies
in the Ganges as religious Offering.
Malay slaves working in salt mines
for Chinese masters. People who nu-
tiliate themselves. And one night
when the Teuton and the Slav-and
even the Latin-is sleeping soundly
in his bed. he wakes up and thinks:
"'No, but d-n it all Babies in
the Ganges! A bit thick!'
"And he finds that this disturbs his
nights. And one day it gets beyond
him. He suddenly picks up and goes
off to interfere. He takes his golf
clubs, and his ridiculous clothes, his
zinc chapels. And, being practical
man, he thinks:

Indians Made Salt.

The Delaware Indians made salt
from brine springs in New York state
and sold 1t to settlers as early az 1870,
making probably the first commercial
production OF salt in this country. The
manufacture Of salt by white people in
the United States was begun near
Syracuse. N. Y. about 1888. Salt ID
