Trees G1'0111'iiread and Tow e19. .
The most wonderful tree that grows
is found in the Pacific Islands. From
this tree the natives procure towels,
cloth, tinder, and bread. It is about
as tall as a. three-story house, and the
branches, which' Come out straight
from the tree" like so many arms, are
covered with leaves and fruit not un-
like apples in appearance. This fruit
is used as bread, and it is in season
during eight months of the year, the
natives finding a good living in it.
As for glue, it oozes from the trunk
of the tree, and is found useful for
many purposes; the leaves make excel-
lent towels for the natives who care
to use them; and from the inner bark
of the tree a kin-d of coarse cloth can
be made.- Besides this, its dried blos~
soms are used'for tinder in lighting
fires, and the wood is in great demand
for building purposes.

ASSUMED NAME-S‘OF ROYALTY.
They Travel Incognito—Prince .ofWales
‘ is Earl'ot- Chester.
President Faure’s recent interview
with Queen Victoria at mFrench rail-
road station was a breach of the strict
etiquette of royal incognitos, as the
Queen on her travels is the Countess of
Balmoral, and can be recognized ofli-
cially only by that title. A similar
break with tradition was made last
year by King Leopold II of. Belgium,
while in Paris, in acknowledging the
cheers of the crowd for the King of the
Belgians and accepting dinner invita-
tions, inasmuch as he had gone to
Paris as the Count of Raven-stein and
returned to Brussels under- the same
name. The Prince of Wales has never
been in Paris; it is the Earl of
Chester who is the hero of all the
naughty adventures ascribed to Albert
Edward.
One of the first monarchs to use an
assumed name 011 his travels was the .
Emperor Joseph II, who appeared in
Paris in 1777‘ as Count Falkenstein;
Paul I of Russia, while Crown Prince,
visited the city under the style of
Comte du Nord. Louis XVIII in ex-'
ile called himself Comte de Lille,
Charles X, aft-er he was driven out,
Comte de Morles and Louis Philippe
Comte de Neuilly. The Duc de Bor-
deaux, “Henry X,” lived all his life un-
der the name of Comte de Chambord-
Joseph Bonaparte took the name of
Count of Survilliers when in America;
Hortense Beauharn-ais, when no longer
Queen of Holland, called herself Duch-
esse de Saint Leu.
In spite of their assumed names, per-
sons who come in contact with these
royal travelers are expected to treat
them as though the incognito did not
exist. In Switzerland alone has the
disguise been taken seriously. The late
King William III of Holland was once
treated like a private person at Gen-
eva. and came near being taken to the
police station. One summer evening he
undertook to promenade on a hotel pi-
azza without any clothes on; and the
subsequent legal proceedings were
stopped only on his promising that he
would leave Geneva at once. He never
retrrned to the city—Philadelphia
Lea‘gez'.
'11“;- Third Time He \Vas in Time.
A comely maiden had among her
numerous admirers in the village a
bashful carpenter and undertaker. At
last he spoke, but, alas, he was too
late; she had given her promise to
another, and that other she wedded. It
so happened that within the first year
the young husband died, and'the wid-
ow bethought herself of her sweet-
heart, and gave him the coffin to make.
He did so, and, allowing what he con-
sidered a decent time to elapse, he
again proposed. Alas! he was again
too late!
Strange 'to say, the second husband
was short-lived, and again the constant
carpenter. had the coffin to make.
Then he resolved to cast delicacy
aside, and, just as he drove the last
screw firmly home, he touched the arm
of the twice-widowed fair, and asked:
“Has onybody spoke to ye'yet?”
He was in timeI—Answers.
An Unreasonable Mother.
Two small and lively urchins were
attired in their best the other after-
noon to attend the matinee with an
auntie, and, in the interval before her
appearance, escaped just a few sec-
onds fro-1n under the watchful eye of
their careful mother. When they re-
appeared after the brief absence the
youngest boy, Donald, was in a con-
dition not to be described, but which
necessitated at once a change of linen -
and a general refurnishing before he
could be seen in polite society again.
“Donald! Donald!” exclaimed his in-
dignant and long-sufiering mother,
“what do you mean? Where have you
been? Now, I shall have to keep
Auntie waiting while I dress you over
again. You are a naughty, naughty
boy.”
“Pshaw!” retorted Donald in an in-
jured. defensive tone, “that ain’t noth-
l in’. What 3" makin’ such a fuss about?

Boarding House Geometry.
All boarding houses are the same
boarding house.
Boarders in the sameboarding house
and on the same flat are equal to one
another.
A single room is that which has no
parts and no magnitude.
The landlady of a boarding house is
a parallelogram—that is, an oblong
angular figure, which cannot be de-
scribed, but which is equal to any-
thing.
A wrangle is the disinclination of
two boarders to each other that meet
' together, but are not on the same flat. '
All the other rooms being taken, a
single room is said to be a double
room.—Truth. '
A Unique Marriage Ceremony.
When two Negritos, a people of the
Philippine Islands, are to be wedded,
the whole tribe is assembled, and the
afiianced pair climb two trees grow-
ing near to each other. The elders then
bend the branches until the heads of
the couple meet. When the heads
have thus come into contact, the mar-
riage is legally accomplished, and great
rejoicings take place, a fantastic dance
completing the ceremony.

day?

NVho know what wheel to buy.

And for yourself you’ll see.

When time prize has been won,
