Flevating the Painter.

A Scotch journal says that a ccrtain well known painter went to a seaside vil- Sage to paint a picture ani put up ata 7 mall public house. One day while in his "@ tom he heard a commotion, and on run-

ning down stairs found that the chimney

was on fire. Two or three men were try-

fag to put out the flames by sweeping the

soot down with brooms, but the blaze was

too high to tbe reached in this manner.

PSeeing their want of success, the painter taught upa thick mat, ran with it to the poof, and, climbing up the stack of chim-

heys, placed it on the top of the one that

mg wason fire. His idea was, of course, to Pebstruct the draft. It happened thata

More then he could imagine till he went

that sweeping Gown the soot was ineffec tual he tried the old fashioned remedy of lighting a charge of gunpowder. This it

His Cause For Regret.

An old Scotchman who had been a long time in the colonies paid a visit to hia “wvative glen,’’ and, meeting an old scnoolfellow, they sat down to have a chat about old times and acquaintances, In ths course of conversation the stranger hap- pened to ask about a certain Geordie Mc- Kay.

‘*He’s dead long ago,’’ said his friend, ‘“‘and I'll never cease regretting him as long as I live.’’

‘* Dear me! him as that?’

A Fly Buried a Spider.

Samuel Simon, sr., a well known resi- dent of Neshannock township, while strolling near his home one day, noticed u fly about half an inch long and ofa dark blue color, with a slim body, bear- ing a large dead spider. The fly crossed his path and laid his load down. It then went about 18 inches in another direc- tion and commenced digging a hole in the ground. His curiosity being excited, he stopped and watched the work.

After the fly had the hole dug about half the length of himself he went to where he had left the spider and took its dimensions. After going back tothe hole he found it was not big enough and com- menced digging again. After taking out a quantity of earth he again went to the spider anc again took his dimensions. He did this eight times and as often enlarged the hole. When the busy little fellow had the hole too deep for him to throw the earth clear out, he would go on the bank and force it back with his feet. After he had the excavation large enough for his purpose he went for the spider and brought it to the grave, for such it proved to be, ard dragged it to the mouth of the hole. After he had the body in he covered it with fine earth first and finished by placing a small piece of cinder »n the tup. When he had finished the work, he flew away. The whole time consumed was exactly 55 minutes, as Mr. Simon said he sat and watched the whole performance, — Newcastle (Pa.) Democrat.

| THE BREADFRUIT TREE.

Something About This Strange and Usefa) Asiatic Plant.

The breadfruit tree is a native of southern Asia, the south Pacific islands and the Indian archipelago. In appear- ance it resembles somewhat the wild chestnut. It grows to the height of 40 or 50 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. It is a sorosis, 1% 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 mea] without it. The eatable part lies between the rind and the core and when fully ripe is yellow and juicy. It is better for food before it has matured, and the ftatives 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 iscut into three or four slices and roasted or baked in an oven.

Freanently the people of a village join in making a huge oven, in which several hundred breadfruits may be baked atone time. Thus they are ail sapplied 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, jus‘ as needed.

Bread 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 trunk of the tree, 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 leavaGmake 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 kindled. —Philadelphia Times.

Trouble

Stomach trouble is the common name applied to a derangement of the system which is keenly felt but vaguely understood. It may mean inability to retain food or to digest it. It may mean nausea, pain after eating, fullness, inordinate craving for food, or entire lack of appetite. Whatever it means, there’s trouble, and it’s with the stomach. If you have stomach trouble, you will be interested in this letter from a man who had it and was cured by

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla

“For nine years I suffered from stomach trouble. I tried the aid of the best doctors of Philadelphia and Pittsburg, and spent large sums of money, ail in vain. One day while waiting a train in Bellaire, 0., E picked up a paper with a notice of Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. I got one bottle to try it. It did me so much good that I purchased five more bottles. I took four of them and gained in flesh, my appetite improved, and now I can eat anything. My stomach is all right, thanks to the use of Ayer’s Sarsa' rilla.”—CaLyun M, STEVENS, Uniontown, Pa,
