many of them two feet in length, which are deeply divided into pointed lobes.
Hidden among the great leaves the freadfruit grows It is a sorosis, is | pearly spherical, often weighs fotr 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 and the and when fully ripe is yellow and juicy. It is better for food before it has 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 is both palatable and nutri- tious. Usually the fruit is cut into three or four slices and roasted or baked in an oven.
Fr: quently 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 seascn eight months of the year. When the season finally draws to a close, the last fruits are gathered cud mc into a sour peste called ‘‘mahcei.’’ ‘Lis pasto will keep good for months and is made into balls, wrapped in leaves and beked, just az needed.

Preod is not the only product of the |
breadfruit tree. From it cement, cloth, tinder and lumber are also obtained. A glutinous, milky juice oozes from the tvuhk of the tfee, which makes an ex- cellent cement when boiled with cocoa- nut oil. From the fibrous inner bark a kind of coarse cloth is made, and the big leaves make good towels. The lum- ber is used for building houses and many other purposes. Besides 2]! this the dried blossoms are used as tinder when fires are kindled. —Philadelphia Times.
i> A SLAVE TO DUTY.
An Elephant That Would Not Neglect a Baby It Was Caring For.
Marie A. Millie, in St. Nicholas, tells ‘@ number of ‘‘Stories of Elephants.’’ Mrs. Millie says:
Some time before the elephant hunt I have described my husband was at a station in Bengal. His work kept him out nearly all day, and, being ill, I used to lie for hours ina long garden chair on the veranda, too weak to read or enjoy any more exciting amusement than my eyes supplied to me.
We bad three elephants for our tents and baggage, and one dear creature used to feed from my hands every day and seemed as gentle as any pet dog or cat.
One of our government chaprasis was particularly devoted to her and invari- ably shared his meal of fruit or flour cakes with his dumb friend. On a par- ticularly hot day the chaprasi, to my surprise, placed his tiny child of 6 months at the elephant’s feet, warning her expressively that the infant was in her charge and was to be cared for till his return. I myself was an eyewitness of her wonderful sagacity. Large ba- mana trees and fig trees grew around, and, to my surprise, the elephant broke off one of the fr r= cr’s spreading leaves, held it like a fax in her trunk and from time to time gracefully waved it over the slumbering clild, whether to tem- per (;e heat of the atmosphere or to keep off flies, 1am unable to say. The gent's way in which she moved her feet over the child and across to each side astornded me. I sent for a white loaf and some oranges, and, calling her by name (she was never chained), tried in vain to tempt her to my side on the low veranda. Nothing would induce her to leave her charge. The warm air and monotonous wave of the swinging fan overpowered me with drowsiness, to which I yielded, and, after a sleep of some duration, I was awakened by quiet, subdued snorts beside me. To my surprise I found that the chaprasi had just returned to his offspring, and the elephant stood near the veranda be- side me, patiently waiting and gently asking for the tempting dainties 50 bravely withstood for over two hours.

It is only within the last few years that it has beeu possible for an experienced person to dys a black that would not crock fade or wash owt. Even blacks dved by city steam dyeing establissments were seldom reliable and fast.
The advent of three Diamond Fast Bla cks—for wool, fur cotton, and for sidlk and feathers—has changed all this. With « ten cents package of one of these Diamond Dye Fast Black the first trial has givem perfect suceess. The direetions on the packages are so plain and simple that evem a child could get better reswits then the experienced dyer of a few years ago.
Snecese in home dyeing is -ecwred only when the Diamond Dyes are used. Do not
be persuaded by amy dealer to key soap grease or imitatiowm package dyes that have not past record to recommend them. The Diamend Dyes are the only warranted colors for domesti¢ dyeing.

A Thing to Boast Of.
Schoolfellows learn each others’ fail- isgs if nothing else and recall after years of separation the characteristic thing about an old seatmate.
Two men who had been at school to- gether when they were boys met and falked of old times.
“By the way,”’ said one, ‘“‘I saw Smith when I was out at Seattle.’’
‘*Did you? And what was he brag- ging about wher you saw him?’’
‘‘He was bragging abont his mod- esty just at that moment.’’
‘‘Dear old Smith—just like him.’’— Youth’s Companion.
A Streng Hint.
The late Professor Jowett had a curi- ous way of commenting on the work that was brought to him by students. On one occasion he was shown a set of Greek verses. After looking them over carefully he glanced up rather blankly and said to the author, ‘‘Have you any taste for mathematics?”’’
If the armies of Eurcpe should march at an eight mile gait, five abreast, 15 inches apart, it would require 944 days for them to pass a given point.

Made Him Propose.
The diffident young man wanted to propose to his girl, but for the life of him he did not know how to go about it. He read books on the subject and sought information from men who had experience, and while the theories were admirable in every instance he found Yhat the practice thereof wasa different thing. He was walking with her one evening, thinking over these things, when her shoe became untied.
She stuck out her pretty little foot,

with a smile, and looked down at it. He fell on his knees to tie the lace. Then he walked on with her. The shoe be- came untied again. The third time it

‘‘See if you can’t tie a knot that won’t come undone,’’ she said, as he worked away at it.
He looked up at her tenderly.
“If I can’t, I know a man who can,”’ he said.
‘Do you want him to tie it?’ she asked coquettishly.
‘*Yes,’’ he replied.
She jerked her foot away. He smiled to himself.
‘*It’s the parson,’’? he said. And he rose to his feet and finished the pro-
posal.—Strand Magazine.

DISMISSING A WEAKLING.
fhe Poor Fool Could Not See That I» Had Her Won.
Reginald Hanscomb stopped in th? hall and nervously fumbled at the ra of his hat, meanwhile gazing into Po- cahontas Poindexter’s eyes with a fond- ness that the beautiful girl could not mistake.
He opened his lips as if about to speak, but the words that he sought to utter would not come, and the fair maiden gave a low, sweet sigh that was calculated to fill his heart with bl ywholes.
Yet he stood there, and she stood in front of him, looking and longing and wondering why he hesitated.
Once she was almost tempted to take hiza back into the parlor and tell him that it was all right; that she knew how he felt about it, and that she would just take it for granted without the usual formality. But her maiden modesty rose in rebellion, and she said to herself:
‘“‘No. If heis too timid, toocowardly, to say the words, it will perhaps be bet- ter for us beth if we take diverging ways.”’
Then, speaking aloud, she said:
**Well, good night, Mr. Hanscomb, if you must be going.”’
‘‘Well, good night,’’ he said. guess I must be going.”’
‘‘Well, good night,’’ she said again, holding the door open for him.
‘*Well, good night,’ he said, passing out through the vestibule,
She shut the door with a bang and sat down upon the statrway and buried her face in her hands and sobbed. *
R~~ half a minute later she heard him returning. Her heart gave a glad leap, and she rushed to the door to ad- mit him. »
He stood looking down into her sweet, expectant face for a moment aft- er the door had swung back, and then, clearing his throat, he said:
ssT
‘*Some pesky kid punctured my tire while I was inside. I wonder if I could borrow your mending outfit for about two minutes?’’
‘*No,’’ she replied. ‘‘My repairing outfit is up in the attic, and I can’t find it tonight. Walk home, It’ll do you good. ”
Then she slammed the door in his face, and he tried to think—poor fool— as he wended his way homeward, what he had done to offend her.—Cleveland Leader.
Powdered Crab as a Medicine.
A Russian journal that has recentty come under our notice calls attention to the fact that for some 20 years past the inhabitants of a malarial locality in the government of Kharkov have used powdered crabs with great success in the case of fevers: The powder is pre- pared in the following way: Live crabs are poured over with the ordinary whisky until they get asleep. They are then put on a bread pan in a hot oven, thoroughly dried and pulverized and the powder passed through a fine sieve. One dose, a teaspoonful, is generally sufficient to cure the intermittent fvver. In very obstinate cases a second dose is required. Each dose is invariably pre- ceded by a glass of aloe brandy as a purgative. The powder is used in that locality in preference to quinine. So says the journal. We will not vouch for it.—New York Ledger.
Early Associations.
**Did you ever notice the queer, rota- ry gesture Mr. Chilkoot always m:kes when his wife rings for the butler? ’
‘*Yes. You see, he used to be a mo- torman before he went to the Klon- dike.’’—Chicago Journal.
A Sign of Cultivation. ‘*Somebody must be cultivating the widow.’’ **Yes?’’ ‘‘Anyway, her weeds have disap- peared.’’—London Answers.
