sively Uh-I).
A common article of food in tho West
Indies Is fiour made from tho bread
fruit. Tho fruit Is cut Into "pigs" or
strips and dried In Uie sun, then ground
to powder In a mortar and sifted. This
flour makes a convenient and highly
nutritious addition to tho hamper of
provisions the negro usually takes with
him when traveling far from his home,
and he well knows Uie art of making It
into a variety of appetizing dishes, eaya
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The plantain is sometimes treated
In Uie same way, as well as the banana,
which gives a sweeter nnd richer Hour
than either tho plantain or bread fruit.
It Is estlmnted that Uie banana hns

Children Are So Taught by Itecent
Keltic tinual A'cthod.
No recent reform In educational meth
odn has attracted so much attention
not only In this country but also la
Europe as that originating with Mr. J.
Liberty Tadd. director of the Philadel
phia Public School of Industrial Art.
Mr. Tadd believes that at present chil
dren are educated to give the prefer
ence to Uie right hand over the left, and
that there Is no good reason why every
man should not be ambidextrous. In
the school of which he Is tho head he Is
educating the child en to use their right
and left hands with equal facility. In
nnAwiNo with thb left hand.
Uio same way ho Is seeking to develop
equally both lobes of tho brain nnd
both eyes. Mr. Tadd points out that In
less than 240 different trades, crnfts
and occupations tho skill of tho work
man depends largely on his ability to
use both hands. The Illustration shows
