UNIVERSAL FOOD IN TROPICS

Southern Lands,

1t Is of interest to note the -four and

dozen different bread fruit trees scat
tered throughout tropical regions. One
Of the fiours, made from the bread
fruit tree Of tropical America known
as the yuka, is regular article Of
commerce in the New. York market.
1t is only sold in cartons at elite
groceries, is quite pnre article, of
dingy, grayish-white color, and a
slightly alkaline and hardly agreeable
taste. In cooking that >alkalinity and
acridity are mostly driven out. In
It's fresh form 1t is in shape elongated
like giant plantain, and for drying
and conversion into -four Is cut down
before ripening so that it has. like
green banana, not a semhlance OF
sweetness. But the same fruit, al
lowed to ripen fully, then sun dried,
becomes almost as sweet as a Smyrna
fig. This tree-grown cake bread Is
eaten dried thus, and along with the
tree-growing flour forms the chief food
for millions In the tropIcs.-New York

Odd-Mannered Flower,

Perhaps the witch-hazel thinks Its
simple little yellow blossoms would
not compare favorably with the gOr-
geousness of fall chrysanthemums-
perhaps ii wants to be original-at
all events, not until ''mums" and other
varieties of autumn flowers are gone,
aud even the leaves of the witch-hazel
itself have fallen, do the witch-hazel
flowers appear
Very late in October, or more likely
i'm November, you will find the cheer
full little yellow blossoms growing right
beside the last years seed pods. These
little urn-shaped seed pods split when
frost comes, and the four seeds con-
tained In each pod hop out onto the
ground, where they will take root and
grow in the spring.-Christlan Science

Unprecedented in the history of
Green county, Pa, grasshoppers are
now jumping about the fields as
though the summer days were here.
Old weather prognosticators are
stumped by the appearance of the
insects, and not one theory has been
offered to account for the unexpected
of the hoppers in mid
winter. Silas Kughn, near Oak Crest,
found large number of grasshoppers
on his land last week. Hundreds of
them, according to the farmer, have
been leaping about over the snow
covered fields, apparently without
thought of the season.

Mistletoe Brains.

One of the most curious illustrations
Of the working of intelligence in plants
Is offered by the mistletoe, whose
sticky berry, finding lodgment on a
tree branch, throws out tiny rootlet,
which tries to pierce the bark and
thus obtain roothold. If the bark Is
too tough. the rootlet swings the berry
over to a fresh spot, and makes an
other trial. In this way such berry
has been known to make five jumps
in two nights and three days. On one
occasion a number of them were dis
covered by a botanist in the act Of
vainly journeying along a telegraph
wire, trying to find a place to grow

Weddings, No 6rldeurooms.

Polynesia is probably the only place
in the world where the marriage feast
takes place without the presence Of
the bridegroom. For some unexplained
reason the young man is 'sent into the
bush" when the bride becomes a mem
her of his family, and he invariably
remains there during the subsequent
festivities. 1t is only when the guests
have departed and the girl is left
alone that messengers are dispatched
