THE TALLOW TREE.
It Produces the Famous Itlce Paper and
Rich Oil.
Our foreign consuls quite frequent
ly send home curious and interesting
accounts of the things which come
under their observation while in line
of duty. These articles, valuable from
several points of view, are never seen
by one in each ten thousanil of our
population, because the documents in
which they appear, being classed with
other "government publications," are
seldom consulted.
In this way, says the Detroit Free
Press, much that is interesting; and
valuable to the scientist and general
reader is overlooked. For an instance
the descriptions of the curious vegeta
tion of China, especially the "tallow
tree." This tree is the stilhngia sebi-
fera of the botanist, the root of which
produces oil, the bark the famous "rice
paper," and the berries tallow. The
greasy berries are of a light scarlet
and resemble those of the coffee of
commerce, both in size and color. In
preparing the tallow the beans or ber
ries are first steamed and then pounded
in order to separate the mesocarp from
the kernels.
This pulp is then placed in a bamboo
seine and the mealy portions separated
from the hulls, the tallowy substance
having the oil expressed from it in
large, primitive wooden presses, while
the chaff or hulls is converted into
fuel. The oil thus obtained is used for
oil stoves, lighting purposes, etc. The
whole tree from root to leaf is sur
charged with oleaginous matter, and
broken limbs and abrasions in the bark
ha ve been known to exude pure oil for
days in succession.

ORDERS STRICTLY.
How
Collector secured Klx Weeks
Holiday end a l'airtnerslilp.
"When I was a youngster of seven
teen," said a successful business man
to a Detroit Free Press reporter. "I got
a job as collector with a man who was
about as strict a martinet as I ever saw.
He insisted on everything being done
just as he said, and' there were times
when life was verily a burden, but I
stuck to him for six months, then we
had a difference. It was this way:
One morning he called me up and
handed me a bill on a man I knew and
said for me to take it around and col
lect it.
" 'It's one of our standbys,' he said,
'and every collector I ever sent to him
reported him absent or not ftndable or
something. Nowyoft go and don't come
back here till you ste him.'
" 'Do you mean tluit?'' I asked, as two
or three clerks looked up.
" 'You know me,' was all he said in
reply and I went out after my man.
"He wasn't at home, the people said,
and wouldn't be for six weeks. So I
stuck the bill in my pocket anil went
off up the country on a visit. The old
man sent after me half a dozen times,
but my folks could only tell I was out
of town, and 1 never paid any atten
tion to a letter I got from the boss, but
went on enjoying myself. Then I
came back and had a visit with some
other friends and at the cud of six
weeks I called on my man again with
the bill. I found him at home and told
him what I had done, and he paralyzed
me by paying the bill with interest.
Two hours later I stepped into the boss'
office.
There,' I said, before he had time
to gather his wits, 'is the amount of
your bill and interest, lie was out of
town for six weeks and I couldn't sec
him before. You told me not to come
back till I did see him, and 1 was obey
ing vour instructions. 1 had a rattling
good time and the house owes me six
weeks' salary.
The old man gasped, got blue in the
face and I thought lie was going to ex
plode, but he didn't; he gulped it all
down and stuck out his hand.
Young man,' he said, 'you ought
to have been a soldier; I'm going to
put you in charge of the collection de
partment and dou hie your salary, and.
concluded the merchant, 'when I was
twenty-five I was a partner.
IMPROVING THE EYES.
Country Life Is the llest Antidote for
Nearsightedness.
It is satisfactory to be told by Mr.
Ellis that blindness in hnglancl is
slowly decreasing," says the Specta
tor, though Great Britain still stands
in this respect behind two other Euro
pean countries, and three more come
before Ireland. snortsignteaness,
however, appears to be increasing
everywhere, Germany having a signal
and sinister preeminence in this re
snect. A French doctor has noted tne re
markable fact that wild beasts caught
ouite voting or born in captivity become
shortsighted, the conclusion being that
the eye adapts itself to its minimal
snhere of vision, and unless "educat
ed." to use Mr. Ellis' term, to see ob
jects at a distance, loses the capacity
of so doing. Even in after life the eye
mav be, to some extent, so educated,
though probably only when the myopia
is not considerable.
It is thus within tho experience of
the present writer that his sicht great
ly Improved in days gone by, when he
became a volunteer, by practice at the
butts, so that while at first he could
not see the target to shoot at without
spectacles at the three-humlred-yard
range, after a twelvemonth or so he
only needed to put on spectacles at
four hundred yards, liut beyond that
range he was never able to dispense
with them.
Country excursions are therefore ex
tremely valuable as means of strength
ening the sight of town-bred children;
and the conductors of such excursions
should take pains to direct the eyesof
the children to distant objects to the
furthest hill, church tower or other
landmark, noting, if possible, any in
capacity to discern the selected object,
and then selecting some nearer one for
the weaker-sighted.
FREE MAIL DELIVERY.
Carious Uesult of an Kxperlinent hy tbe
Postal Authorities.
The difference between city and
country ways have been illustrated in
a curious manner by an experiment of
the post ollice department, says the
New York Evening Post. Under the
last administration about fifty villages
and small towns, ranging in population
from eight hundred to four thousand
inhabitants, were picked out for a
trial of the system of distributing
mail matter by carrier, as in large
cities. At first general satisfaction
was manifested, and the receipts of
many of the offices for awhile showed
an increase, indicating that the con
venience ostimulated correspondence,
but as the novelty wore off the resi
dents very generally tired of the
change and returned to the old prac
tice of going to the office themselves
for their mail. A majority of the peo
ple would apparently rather have their
letters lie in the office until they call
for them and thus have an excuse for
frequent visits to the center of local
activity than have their mail delivered
every day at their houses. The carrier
In such ploces is really a foe to social
activity, as "going to the post office"
has always been a recognized means of
mixing with men, and its occasional
inconvenience is preferable to the loss
of what is often only a pretext for
making a break in the monotony of a
retired life. In view of the evidence
that there is not "a long-felt want" U
be met by this system of free delivery
in small communities, and of the fact
that its general adoption would in
volve an unrtual expense of at least ten
million dollars, the first assistant post
master general wisely advises a kusv
pension of the experiment.
Senator White, of California, is in
favor of electing United States sen-
; atnrs by popular vote.
OBEYED
WOMANLY BEAUTY.
Want It Constats or According to ft French
Writer.
Grenaille, a French author of the
sixteenth century, has written a large
and very scientific book on female
beauty and endows his ideal of female
loveliness with the following attri
butes: "Youth, medium stature, chestnut
brown hair, symmetry of limb, a deli
cate skin, revealing the blue veins,
rosy complexion, a smooth, serene
brow, uniformly-arched temples, nar
row eyebrows, which do not meet; elo
quent, dark-brown eyes: a winsome
smile, cherry-red lips, a small mouth,
small milk-white teeth, a sweet breath,
a soft agreeable voice; a chin which
does not protrude and is graced by a
dimple; small, rosy ears; a slender
throat of ivory whiteness; small, soft
white hands, nicely tapering fingers,
graceful gestures, an even, dignified
walk; shining fingernails, smooth and
well curved; an even, pleasant temper
ament, good taste in dress, superficial
education, small, pretty feet, and at
tentive demeanor toward others."
DOINGS OF THE DAYS.
The post oflicc department has de
cided that rubber bands can be used
around the new double postal cards.
The only carp ever caught in the
Mississippi river was taken the other
day by a Wisconsin man.
A "hoo-kili.inq" in North Perry, Me.,
recently deserves more than local fame.
The victim weighed more than half a
ton.
An American flag survived the fire
and heat in the Casino, at St. Au
gustine, Fla., which recently burned,
and was preserved for a relic.
Captains of United States mail-carrying
steamship companies are expressing
dissatisfaction as to the new United
States mail pennant. They say it's too
big.
One curious effect of the recent cold
snap was that the traffic in tutti-frutti
and chocolate tablets by means of auto
matic salesmen was seriously inter
rupted. Persons who attempted to
secure chewing gum or chocolate by
putting a "penny" in tbe slot found
that the coin wouldn't tit. The cold
had shrunken the iron top. .,
TENANTED BY WILD HOGS.
A lJirge Alnharua Tract Where No Ba
nian Helng llwvtls.
In the northern part of Limestone
county, Ala., is a tract of land con
sisting of more than one thousand
acres, which is not on tbe map of the
state, nor can it be found in the reg
ister's ollice of that county. No one
claims it and no taxes have ever been
paid.on it. It is a vast wilderness, in
habited by snakes, deer and razorback
hogs. It is u free hunting ground, and
thousands of these hogs are killed
every year, more for sport than for
anything else. The hogs are wild and
cannot be domesticated. Their yield
is said to be enormous. Tom llooth, of
Pulaski, Term., secured a male and fe
male and did all in his power to tame
them, but failed. He kept them a
year, and at the end of that time they
were as wild as at first. The more he
fed them the thinner they became.
Within the year they consumed four
hundred bushels of corn and were as
lean as church mice. During that time
the sow had five litters of pigs, num
bering two hundred and ten. Mr.
llooth could not tame any of these nor
get them fat enough to mane even
soap grease. Finally he gave them to
a negro, who now considers himself
under no obligations to Mr. Booth.
The flesh of these hogs resembles
horseflesh. It is as tough as a coon
skin, and a large-sized hog of this
species rendered would not make
grease enough to fry a skillet of batter
cakes. They go through a garden like
a shovel plow, and no vegetable es
capes them. They can crowd through
a crack that would hardly admit a
mouse, anil their sharp noses act as
levers foi garden gates. The Tennes
seans make great fuu of Alabama'
razorlmek hogs.
Irishmen In IIIk' Position.
It is not only in the United States
that the sons of Erin have secured a
pluee among the leaders of the people.
This fact has been culled to mind by
the circumstance that while all France
was mourning one illustrious Irishman
in the person of honest old Marshal
MacMahon, the masses of the popula
tion of Austria-Hungary were acclaim
ing another Irishman, the Irish peer,
Viscount Taafe, who holds the post of
prime minister of Austria, for bring
ing forward a bill in favor of universal
suffrage. In Spain one of the most In
fluential military leaders is a general
of Hibernian origin, O'Ryan byname,
who held the post of minister of war
during the former administration of the
present premier; while the queen re
gent's private secretary and most
trusted adviser and friend bears the
name of Murphy. The little king's
governess is also an Irish woman; and
so, toj, is the governess of the young
queen of Holland. The tutor of Em
peror William was an Irishman named
Audanne.
Sagacity of Wild Fowl.
Wild geese anil wild ducks show
knowledge as to the resistance of the
atmosphere and sagacity in overcoming
it. When flocks of them have togolotig
distances they form a triangle tocleave
the air more easily, and the most cour
ageous bird takes position at the for
ward angle As this is a very fatigu
ing post another bird ere long takes the
place of the exhausted leader. Thus
they place their available strength at
the service of the society.
"This bump," said the phrenologist,
"indicates that you are of a combative
disposition." "No," said the subject.
"It indicates that my wife is of a com
bative disposition. That's where she

Mexico's Karly Population.
Everywhere about the valleys of New
Mexico, invariably upon eminences,
and usually upon high Hat-topped
mesas or table hills, are the ruins of
houses of the ancient semi-eivilized
Indian population that lived here und
tilled the soil before the coming of the
Spaniards, four centuries ago. The
numbers of this old population can be
only vaguely inferred by the numerous
cobblestone foundations of their
houses, still well defined above the sur
face of the ground, and by tbe debris
of the fallen walls which constitute
hillocks, grass-grown and intermixed
with occasional old stone utensils and
countless fragments of pottery. This

A GLORIOUS RIVER.
The lieautlful St. Lawrence, aud Its Many
luaiiit Wonders.
The St. Lawrence is a phenomenon
among rivers. No other river is fed by
such gigantic lakes. No other river is
so independent of the elements, says
Nature's Realm. It despises alike
rain, snow and sunshine. lee and
wind may be said to be the only things
that alVeet its mighty How. Something
almost as phenomenal as the St. Law
rence itself is the fact that there is so
little generally known about it. It
might be iitlirmed that not one per
cent, of the American public are aware
of the fact that among all the great
rivers of the world the St. Lawrence is
theonly absolutely Hoodlcss one. Such,
however, is the case.
The St. Lawrence despises rain and
sunshine. Its greatest variation caused
by drought or rain hardly everexceeds
a foot or fourteen inches. The cause
of this almost everlasting sameness of
volume is easily understood. The St.
Lawrence is fed by the mightiest bod
ies of fresh water on earth. Immense
lis is the volume of water it pours into
the ocean, anyone who has traversed
nil the immense lakes that feed it aud
for the surplus waters of which it is
the only channel to the sea wonders
that it is not even more gigantic than
it is. Not one drop of the waters of
the five great lakes finds its way to
the ocean save through this gigantic,
extraordinary and wondrously beauti
ful river. No wonder, then, that it
should despise tho rain and defy the
sunshine.
A CRUSHED INSURANCE AGENT.
Ills Intended Victim Led Htm to a Place
Where a Human Voice Was Useless.
"The toughest experience I ever had
in my life," said a solicitor of life in
surance to a New York Herald man,
"was with an iron manufacturer in
Troy. I had been informed that he
was a hard customer, but a wealthy
man and one who had carelessly neg
lected to provide himself with insur
ance, and so 1 resolved to tackle him.
Upon entering his office and explain
ing the nature of my business I was
surprised at his greeting. It was
friendly, even cordial. 'Life insur
ance,' said he. 'Well, now, that's a
subject that interests me. Come with
me to the shop; I've got to go there,
and you can tell me all about the su
periority of your company over all oth
ers.' Then he took up his hat and
bade me follow him. As we went out
of the office, I noticed a smile on the
faces of all the clerks, and though I
didn't understand it 1 smiled in return,
for 1 thought possibly they knew my
errand anil were congratulating me on
my success. The proprietor walked
hurriedly and I after him, until at last
he flung open a door. It was the ma
chine shop. The din was terrible. A
thousand hammers, I think, were all at
work beating iron at once. Involun
tarily 1 put my hands to my ears.
Look ing at my man 1 saw his lips move,
and lowering my hands I just managed
to catch his words, shouted above the
deafening racket: 'Now, tell me all
about it!' He smiled sardonically as
he saitl this, and I could have mur
dered him. It was impossible to say a
word, and so I went right out It was
a duru mean trick."
The clear juice, without sugar, of

itating bitters.
