The fullintensity of living is reached only by the perfectly healthy. Sickness Ajscouvts the capacity for enjoyment. If his body is all out of order and run down, he will not be able ty enjoy anvthing, no matter how full of enjoyment it may be for other people. If he ie just a Jittle bit out of order, if he “ is not sick, but doesn’t feel just right” be will only be able to enjoy things in a half-hea~ted sort of way. The nearer he is to being perfectly wel), the nearer will bis capacity for his erjoy- ment be perfect. If this condition doesn’t exist, something ought to be done. That means pine cases in ten the use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovdry. It works directly on the digestive organa, and on the blood and through these on every tiseue of the body.

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 over.
Frequently the people of a village join in making a huge cven, 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 ‘‘mahei.’’ This paste will keep good for months and is made into balls, wrapped in leaves and baked, just as needed.
Bread is not the only product of the breadfruit tree. From it cement, cloth, tinder and Jumber are also obtained. A glutinous, milky juice oozes from the trunk of the tree, which makes an ex- cellent ce:neut 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 all this the dried blossoms are used as tinder when fires are kindied.—Philadelphia Times.
A SLAVE TO DUTY.
An Elephant That Would Not Neglect a Baby It Was Caring For,
Merie A. Millie, in St. Nicholas, tells a number of ‘Stories of Elephants.’’ Mrs. Millie says:
Some time before the elephant hrnt 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 cajoy any more exciting amusement than my eyes supplied to me.
We had three elephants for our tents end 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 florr 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 iu her charge and was to be cared for till his return. I myself was an eyewitness. of her wonderful sagacity. Large ba~ nana trees and fig trees grew aroun, and, to my surprise, the elephant broke off one of the former's spreading leaves, held it like a fan in her trunk and froxa time to time gracefully waved it over the slumbering child, whether to tem- per the heat of the atmosphere or 7 keep off flies, Iam unable to say. The gentle way in which she moved her feet over the child and across to each side astounded me. I sent for a white loaf and some oranges, and, calling her by namie (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 so bravely withstood for over two hours. {
