sons, His humanitarianism made him
famous and his dealings with the In
dams strikingly shows one of the
many great principles Of his life. Penn
was a Quaker, and 1t Is said that never
drop Of Quaker blood was shed by
the savages In all the wars against the

WHERE KING ARTHUR LANDED
Tintagel, on the North Coast of Corn
wall, Figures In Tennyson's
Famous Poem.

Everyone who has read the legends
TennysOn's "Idylls of the King" wish
es to see Tintagel, that place in the
north coast of Cornwall SO deeply i'm
plicated in the Arthurian legend. The
legend of Tintagel is that Arthur came
ashore from the sea in storm and
fame, story excellently well suited
to the Cornish love of marvels.
The place generally known to tour
lists in Cornwall as Tintagel is in fact
the village of Trevena, and Tintagel
itself is the ruined castle and head
land, solitary, beyond it and beyond
the wind-swept church where the gray
green lichens grow long on the gran
ite.
The headland of Tintagel, dark and
craggy and almost wholly separated
from the mainland, is said to take its
name from "Dun-dagel," the "safe for
tress;" famous from earliest times as
a place for retreat and defense. On
all such rock Businesses the primitive
peoples who inhabited their coast-line
created what are known as "cliff-cas-
ties" You see this remarkable place
best from its eastern side, and from
the sands below the slaty cliffs. From
this point Of view the great gloomy
cavern eaten out by the sea in the
headland. some day completely to sur
round it, can be clearly seen.-Chris-
tian Science Monitor.

Then Carter made explanations.
"Mr. Roger Vernon, SIR. He is presi-

fine gentleman. No one could object
to having such double"
Carter found himself talking quite
at ease with his new acquaintance.

GET DRINK FROM FLOWERS
Natives Of India Distill Valuable Spirit
From Mowra Tree-Seeds Also
Yield Oil.

The flowers Of the "mowra" tree,
native to India, are highly valued for
food. They are rich In sugar. and
an intoxicating drink is distilled from
them. A syrup prepared from them is
boiled down, yielding a sugar equal In
quality to date sugar.
In the central provinces of India
mOwra flowers are regularly used as
an article Of food by at least 1000, 900
people, each person consuming about
eighty pounds per annum. Through
out that country they are looked upon
as valuable reserve in famine years.
Their fieshy, juicy, globe-shaped corol-
las are collected when they have fall
en-, and are spread out to dry on mats
in the sun. A single tree will yield
200 to 300 pounds of flowers in a
year. They are eaten either fresh or
dried, and cooked in many different
ways, with rice, shredded coconut or
-four
The bulk of the crop of flowers,
however, is used for the preparation
of "daru," or .mOwra spirit. They are
fermented, sometimes with molasses
added, and the liquor is then distilled
in crude apparatus. With good dis
tilling apparatus, 100 pounds of the
flowers will yield five and One-half gal
Ions of prO.f spirit.
1t is estimated that in the Hydera-
bad state alone there are enough
mOwra trees to produce 100000 gal
Ions of proof spirit per annum. The
seeds yield an Oil which is largely
utilized in the manufacture of soap,
candles and imitation butter.
