FACIAL COMPARISON OF ROCKEFELLER, SR., AND JR.
There Is a world of difference between the personal appearance of John
T. Rockefeller and that of his only son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr. John, Jr.,
Is the Image of his mother. There Is not about the younger John a single fea
ture, either of face or form, Indicative of his kinship to John the elder. x
The younger John has a broad, full, heavy-featured countenance, with
large eyes, wide and protuberant forehead, big nose, big mouth, and full,
heavy chin. -He Is much taller than his mother, but, like her, Is built on
.generous lines.
John D. Rockefeller has a sharp, Irregular, acquisitive set of features.
Ills forehead Is low and receding, almost on a line with bis long, keen nose.
Ills chin Is short and sharp, his mouth small and pursed, his Hps thin and
his eyes small. His ears are -long and thin quite different from those of
John, Jr., which -tire thick and medium-sized.
I SETTLING THE STRIKE. I;
If all labor difficulties could be ad
justed with the celerity and decision
displayed by Professor Jowett, the fa
mous master of Balllol, questions of
employer and employe would not mani
fest themselves In so violent a manner
as Is frequent. The famous teacher
was noted for his brevity of speech
end despatch of business, but these
qualities never shone to greater ad
vantage than on the famous occasion of
his dealing with the refractory washer
women of Balllol.
: These worthy dames struck for
higher wages In one , department
Twelve collars fora shilling was the
tatutory price. They came to present
Ihelr claim to the master.

"Will you wash twelve collars for a

They began to expostulate. He

"Presently the butler appeared again.
"They, seem very sorry, sir would
like to see you again."
"Show them up." '

sure the efficacy of the medicine, he ex
plained, the bird must be taken before
It loaves the nest, If possible, or, If It
has left the nest, before It gets to
where It can drink water; for, he as
serted, If It has of Itself taken water,
It loses all virtue as a blood cure.

la, first to kill the crow, and, without
cleaning It, Incase the body In an air
tight covering of cement or clay. The
mold Is then baked for two or three
days In a hot fire. When the clay coat
Is removed, naturally the crow will be
found to be black, a lump of pure char
coal. This Is pulverized and converted
Into pills of the "pink" order, which
are very popular here' as a blood regu
lator. He reminded his Interlocutors
(;hat the medicine was very rare because
of the difficulty of finding a crowthat
had not taken water.
The man was perfectly sincere, and
appeared extremely firoud of his suc
cess lu having secured the bird. He
was reluctant to leave the tree lest
there Bhould be another one on the
ground somewhere. "
Those who, since the brilliant
achievements of the Japanese Red Cross
Society In the last war, are accustomed
to take for granted the advance of med
leal science In this country, will, of
course, bear In mind that the practltlon
er under consideration. had. not at thle
time acquired membership In any legal
ly recognized therapeutic fraternity;
but probably his nostrum was quite as
effective as much of the medicine that
Is sold to a large constituency at a high-1
er price In other portions of the globe.
Another favorite -emedy for undlag-
nosable ailments In this country Is hu
man liver, and a citizen of the empire
has just been arrested on the charge of
having killed several women as a means
of obtaining this somewhat unusual
commodity. This phase of Japanese
life seems rather to Increase the ambig
uity of the old aphorism that whether
life Is worth living depends on the liver.
At any rate, It may be Justly counted
among the queer things of Japan, to
relate of all 'which would necessitate
going on ad Infinitum.
BELIEVE IN BUN SPOTS.
A Word About a Forlt Throrr ai
to Short Cropa.
In the bottom of Its heart a good
part of the financial community cher
ishes the suspicion that financial crises,
especially when caused or accompanied
by bad harvests, have something to do
with "sun spots," says the New Xork
Post The argument Is that these years
of Intense solar activity come some
where near once In ten "years and' so
do panics; that "sun spots" very prob
ably cause abnormal seasons on our
own planet and that abnormal seasons
cause crop failures and trouble In the
stock exchange. Nobody would need to
take this seriously but for the fact that
thirty-two years ago a very eminent
English economist frankly asserted bis
belief In the theory. Prof. Jevons was
so confident of Its applicability that In
1875 he predicted a European panic
tor 1879, because the "sun-spot activity"
would then be again approaching a
maximum.
But how about the facts? The year
1S37 was one of sun-spot maximum and
also a year of commercial panic. Sun
spots were very active In 1871, 1872
and 1873 and we know 'w hat happened
In the markets. In 1883 a violent
maximum was reached; Europe had a
stock exchange panic In 1882 and the
United States one in 1884. There was
a famous "sun-spot year" In 1803 arid,
what Is more to the point we are still
In a period of solar activity and dis
ordered markets.
So far, this Is all very well ; but let
us be liiuiougu. The puulc of 1SG7 was
one of the worst on the list, and 1857
came In a period of sun-spot minimum.
In 1800, when one of the worst of Eng
land's financial crises occurred, solar
activity was at the lowest level In a
deende. A period of sun-spot minimum
began In 1889 and continued Into the
"Baring year," 1890. Evidently, sun
sixts do not always have the same
effect . , .
Prof. Jevons thought that the effect
was brought about through crop fail
ures. The astronomers tell us, how
ever, that so far as there. Is any corre
spondence, "cold years, rains and In
undations appear to correspond to
those when the sun Is quiet; dry and
warm years to epochs of great solar
activity." - Now a dry year may ruin
crops as well as a cold year; but as a
matter of record among panic years,
1857 produced an abundant European
harvest 1873 yielded a "bumper crop"
in the United States, with 1872 a good
second, and 18S4 was a year of unpar
alleled wheat production all over the
world. And what Is to be said of 1579
and 1897, when the world raised
bumper crops" In the western hemi
sphere and. lost niQst of the harvest in
the eastern?

THE BREADFRUIT TREE.
Duty Not Burdensome.
There seems to be a popular belief
that the term duty comprises all that
we most dislike to do ; that If It Is a
duty It must be unpleasant But look
at your duties kindly and they will
turn kindly faces to you. Don't worry
over them, don't be angry with them,
and they will smile at you In return
and you will be happy with them. But
be careful not to make an Idol of duty,
for Idolatry Is wrong. Idols are wor
shiped, but not understood.

Many a Ways In Which Thli Strange
Tropical Plant la Utilised. .
The breadfruit tree is a native of
Southern Asia, the West Indies, the
south Pacific Islands and the' Indian
archipelago. In appearance It resem
bles somewhat the wild chestnut It
grows to the height of forty or fifty
feet and has dark green leaves, many
of them two feet In length, which are
deeply divided Into pointed lobes,,-,
Hidden among the great leaves the
breadfruit grows, says the Baltimore
Sun. It Is nearly spherical, often
weighs four or more pounds and has a
thick yellow rind. This fruit Is the
chief food of the South Sea Islanders.
They seldom eat a meal without It
The eatable part lies between the rind
land the core and when fully ripe Is
yellow and Juicy. The fruit Is better
before It has fully matured, and the
natives gather It while the , pulp . Is
white.
Before It Is ready for table use It
must be roasted, when It looks like
wheat bread and la both palatable and
nutritious. Usually the fruit Is cut in
to three or .four slices and roasted or
baked In an oven. . . ' - - .
Frequently the people of a village
Join in making a huge oven, In which
several hundred breadfruits may be
baked at one time. Thus they are all
supplied with bread without Its cost
ing any of them much labor. Prepared
In this way the bread will keep for
weeks. ' - ,
The breadfruit Is In season . eight
months of the year. When the season
finally draws to a close the last fruits'
are gathered and made Into a sour
paste called "mahel." This paste will
keep for months and Is made Into balls,
wrapped In leaves and baked, Just aa

Bread Is not the only product of the
breadfruit tree. From It cement, cloth,
tinder and lumber are also btalned.
A glutinous, milky Juice oozes from the
trunk of the tree, which makes an ex

Mineral Wealth of the Sonth.
About one-seventh of the mineral
production of the entire country comes
from the Southern States. Of bitu
minous coal, the most valuable mineral.
the South produces one-fourth, and of
iron about one-ninth. Its total coal
resources amount to nearly 600,000,
000,000 tons, or more than one-fourth
of our estimated coal reserve.
" Of mineral chemical materials the
South supplies more than . one-half,
chiefly phosphate rock, all of which is
produced In Florida, Tennessee and
South Carolina, and nearly one-third
of the mineral pigments. Of precious
stones the whole country produces only
$325,000 worth, with the South fur
nishing Its fair share."
The showing la Iron ore reserves Is
quite as good ; a safe ' minimum ' Is
3,000,000,000 tons, or nearly one-third
of the nation's total. Of workable Iron
ore the South contains one and one
half times as much as the famous
Lake Superior district and this does
not Include the deep lying southern
ores. , -
