A cousin of the familiar pea
flower, called Tephrosia, is used in
the West Indies and Polynesia for
a very unsportsmanlike form of an
Cling. The crushed leaves and
stems are thrown into the river,
where the fish are quickly stupe-
fed and easily caught.
Another West Indian, the hog gum
tree, is so called because wounded
hogs rub the injured parts against
the tree to smear themselves with
the abundant resin it exudes, which
heals their wounds. This resin is
so powerful that the natives make
torches of the branches. Another
light-giving plant is the candleberry
tree, a native of Polynesia related
to our common spurge, notes writ
er in London Tit-Bits magazine. The
kernels of the walnut-like fruit are
so rich in oil that they are stuck
on reeds and used as candles.

Odd Uses for Plants and Trees in Distant Lands

The cow-tree, a native of South
America corresponding to the fa-
miliar bread-fruit, yields a milk
practically indistinguishable from
ordinary cows milk in chemical
composition and nourishing quail
ties, from which excellent cream
and cheese are made.
Linnaeus, the famous Eighteenth
century Swedish botanist, made a
sort of floral clock. The dial con-
sisted of names of flowers, arranged
in the order of their opening and
closing hour by hour. The dande-
lion, for example, opens about 3
a. m. and closes about 9 p. m.
Greater accuracy is obtained from
Japanese form of magnolia. The
watchmen use the powdered bark
for burning in graduated tubes, to
mark the time by the regular COM
bustion of the powder.
Perhaps the limit Of queer uses
of plants is reached in the case of
plumbago, related to thrift and sea-
pink. The fresh-root is powerful
blistering agent, and the beggars
of San Domingo use it to raise ul-
GERS on their bodies in the hope OF
exciting the sympathy of the
passers-by.

American courts have held that
an auctioneer is not compelled to-
accept the highest bid. In a Min
nesota case, house was sold to
the first bidder for $675 after the
second and only other bidder had
offered $3.50. The auctioneer re-
fused to consider such a trifing
increase. So the second bidder
sued but lost his case on the
ground that no contract exists un-
til the offer to purchase is ac-
cepted by the auctioneer.

on through the hall to the front

there, Tope said briskly:

since he produced that bottle. What
reason had he to 60 looking for it in

He left the Hurder front door un-

there to get some of Mrs. Leaford's
sleeping-tablets. There were only
two in the bottle, so he took them,
and dropped the bottle out of sight
in the handiest place. With so few
tablets in the bottle, she'd miss
them in the morning; but if the
whole bottle was gone, she'd just
think it was mislaid." He added
honestly: part of this is guessing;

And he went on: $50 here's
what we've got: Asa Tame was a
thief; and he needed money. You
heard what Rab said, that if any
of the young ones married, they
were to be disinherited. Well, Rab
was married and Asa knew it; and
Asa bought June new clothes, en-
