Toa reporter he gave the follow ing particulars, I had been a sufferer from rheumatism for upwarda of twenly years, at times ‘being contined to the house.

THE BREA Something About This Strange aad Useful Asiatic Piant. 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 56 feet and has dark green leaves, rf) eer wiry OFRUIT TREE. Hidden among the great leaves the breadfruit grows. It is a sorosis. ig hearly 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 meal without it. The eateb!> 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 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 al oven. Frequently the people of a village join in making a huge oven, in which several hundred breadfruits may be) i 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 breadfrvit 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 im 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 cocas- nut oil. From the fibrous inner bark:a kind of eoarse cloth is made, and the big leaves make good towels. The lum- the dried blossoms are used as tinder when fires .are kindleé. —Philadelpkia Times. _ —-—-»> o__ There is no more in- spiring sight in the world than the picture of the stalwart young ’ farmer and his rosy- cheeked wife start- ing out to fight the battle of life. There is no reason why all such coup- les should not live long, happy, healthy lives. Much depends upon the wife herself. To some extent, she must be a jack of all trades. Her husband must be a little of a blacksmith and a little of a harness mak- er and a little of a veterinary surgeon as well as a farmer. It is the same with the wife. It is a long ways to town, and she must have a handy hand at many things. It is possibly many miles to the first physi- cian, and the farmer’s wife should be able to see that every member of the family is kept in good health. If the young farmer’s wife is wise, when her husband shows that he is out of sorts, when he is suffering from biliousness or torpidity of the liver or indigestion, she will not permit him to neglect these disor- ders, but will have at hand Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. This wonder- ful medicine is not a cure-all, but as most diseases have their inception in a torpid liver or a disordered digestion, it is a cure for a great many of them. It makes the appetite keen, the digestion and assimila- tion perfect, the liver active, the blood pure and the nerves steady. It cures all malar- ial troubles and rheumatism. Medicine dealers sell it, and keep nothing else “‘just as good.”’ The farmer’s wife may frequently save the life of her husband or that of one of her children by owning a copy of Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser. It tells how to treat all the ordinary ills of life and how to care for serious accident cases while awaiting the arrival of a physician. It con tains 1008 pages.

THE DAILY EXAMINER CHARLOTY i = Co 3 vw nr LOY)ON OMNIBUS THIEVES. Their Work So Profitable That They Rana Line of Pirate Vehicles. One of the happiess hunting grounds for a pickpockct is a Londcn omnibus! People have been warned of this over | and over agzin; notices are kept sontin- |} ually pas nthe doors ani windows of ¢ 3 nductors watch with keen nd suspicious eyes doubtiul-looking passengers, d yet all this energy seems to make little or no difference to the pickpockets. They seem to thrive almost as Well as if ‘buses were provided for their specia! edification, and there are quice a large number of thieves in Lon- don who make a living by working al- most entirely in public conveyances, One gang in particuler was broken up long ago. Jt eansisted of about twenty- three men, and was known—on account ofa practice they had of slinging a hovked stick over their arms—as the “Crooked Stick Gang.’’ It was started in 1893, and the originator was an ex. ceedingly clever thief with whom the police desired further acquaintance. He started this brilliant idea hy giving an ‘“‘at home’’ in the Seven Dials. He hired & room in a public house for the purpose (ag he informed the landlord) of holding a “friendly lead,’’ but as a matter of fact the people who turned up were one and all practiced pickpockets, and _ the out- come of this meeting was the formation of a sort of Thieves’ Union, the object | of which was to prey upon unwary peo- ; ple who travel in omnibuses and trams and public conveyances generally. The members worked in pairs, the one thiev- ing and the ether watching that he did not cheat his fellows. This system worked remarkably well for atime. Each pair of thieves had a number of ingenious disguises; on differ- ent occasions they exchanged routes; and as they kept a particular record of their proceedings, and were careful not to work too often in the same district, they were for a long time undetected. At the end ef each day they met at a public house, previously appointed, for dividing their soils; and a fair idea of the profits of the concern will be gathered from ‘the fact that they have divided as much as $650 on a single day. After a time the conductors of the "buses (especially in principal thorough- fares like Piccaailly) got to know the gang, and become strangely shartsighted when one of them hailed them from the pavement. They treated them with an indifference that was galling, and their behavior seemed especially brutal when the passenger with the ‘‘crooked stick’’ happened to be an old, whitehaired gen- tleman with gold eyeglasses. When at last business became so in- volved that the Directors of the omnibus companies began to employ detectives to watch them, the gang thought it advise able to run ‘buses of thefrown, and they dliid. They started a number of ‘‘pirate’’ "buses, and as just somewhere about this time the company ‘buses raised their fares, they easily got a large number of passengers by retaining the old prices. They were very careful, however, to stop only for well-dressed and respectable- looking people, and it was a strange thing if a passenger did not miss some- thing before he or she reached the end of the journey. Each person who entered the ’bus was, of course, most carefully watched. The cry ‘‘ All fares’’ gave the thieves a clew te the whereabouts of the purses, and a short time after they were replaced they were skillfully removed by the ‘‘working members.’’ One of the gang who man- Ipulated matters inside the ‘bus was a most dexterous pickpocket. It was his boast that he could extract a purse with a pair of sugar tongs, and he has been known to steal. one, remove all the money, and then quietly replace it in the owner’s pocket without exciting the slightest suspicion. For awhile these ‘‘pirate’’ ’buses suc- ceeded even better than the ethers. On some occasions a single ’bus has yielded over twenty purses a day, some of them containing as much as $75, and it was seldom that a pocket was picked without something of value being found. At last, however, complaints at Scot- land Yard became so numerous that the authorities set a special detective on the track of the crooked sticks, with the re- sult that one of the members was caught red-handed, and this led shortly after- ward to the arrest of several others. After that it was not long before they were entirely broken up. Without a head they were incapable of working system- atically, and they scattered in every direction—mostly to Portland, where aaany of them are still ‘‘doing time.,’’ For Red Hands, To cure redness of the hands beat to- gether one ounce of clear heney, one euuce of almond oil, the juice of a lemon and the yolk of a raw egg.
