Where Trees Are MIXED.

In British Guiana and the West In:
dies, particularly on the banks of the
River Demerara, there grows tree
known to the natives as the "Hya-
hya," which yields from its bark and
pith juice slightly richer and thicker
than cows milk. The tree is about
forty feet in height and eighteen
inches in circumference when full
grown, and the natives use its juice
as we do milk, it being perfectly harm
less and mixing well with water. The
Cingalese, have q tree, they call
"Kiriaghuma," which yields fluid in
all respects like milk, while in the for
ests of Para grows tree called the
"Massenodendron, which gives milk
like juice. 1t can be kept for an i'll
definite time and shows no tendency
to become sour. On the other hand,
certain trees in the valleys of Aragua
and in Canagua yield a similar fluid,
which, when exposed to the air. begins
to form kind of cheese which very
soon becomes sour. In the Canary
islands there is tree called "Tabaya
Dolce" of which the milk, thickened
into jelly, is considered delicacy.

GOOD INVESTMENT IN SMILE
inexpensive, and Nothing One Can
Own Will Bring a Greater Return
Should Be Promise.

A pleasant smile is the most mex
penslve investment on earth and it is
the greatest one to bring return.
How l wish everyone could realize
just what it means to smile. think
we all would smile oftener if we did.
So many people have told me how hard
1t Is for them to smile. Here is my re-
cipe-here it is, very simple: When
you are about to smile, think first that
in your smile you are to promise
something. That Is really what
smile is for. 1t is promise, and you
may make it any kind of promise
you like. Some people hardly move
their lips at all in a smile, while 9TH
ers smile entirely with their lips and
leave their eyes expressionless.
The best smile of all is the one
that promises most. At your mirror
you may practice smiling with great
success. Just conjure up the person
you want to smile at and fit the smile
to the vision. 1t will surprise you
to know how many different kinds of
promises one happy smile may sug-
gest. 1t is so like happy party TO
have a person around who smiles on,
general principles and promises nothing
at all but gladness for the very JOY
Of living. Cheerfulness such as this
is life's finest tonic.-Exchange

IDEA ORIGINATED IN ORIENT
FInser-Print System Claimed to Have

The finger-print system that sleuths

Chinese or japanese. according to

Rashid-ud-din, who wrote about the
system in use in Cathay even in his
day. 1t was a fnger-print system OF
sort, although not like that in use
today. There was no blackening OF
