No More Breadfruit?
Bread from the breadfruit tree
will be an extinct delicacy in the
South seas before long unless some
measures are taken to preserve the
cultivation of the tree. The best
variety of breadfruit is said to grow
on the Marquesas islands, but the
native population there, it is esti-
mated, will be extinct in ten years,
and it is feared the tree will not
longer be able to withstand the en-
croachment of the jungle. A similar
situation exists on the Society is-
lands. The fruit can be made a
main source of nourishment in the
tropics, and has so been used by
island races of the Pacific for cen-
turies.—Kansas City Star.

“Ranch, Cupped in a
Three-Sided Valley”
Below me lay the ranch, cupped
in a three-sided valley, the sharp,
green rectangles of its fields of
new grain contrasting with the
faint purple of the surrounding
sagebrush. To the west were long,
low, and abrupt ridges; to the
east, swiftly rising ranges of dark,
wooded hills, snow gleaming in
their more protected hollows.
To the southeast, across a vast
haziness of faintly purple sage-
brush, rose the three peaks of the
Tetons, their snowy tops looming
whitely above their dark lower
slopes. A fourth and lesser peak,
really a section of the most north-
ern of the three major ones, could
be less easily distinguished slightly
to the north of the others. One
could discern, ijgainst the crystal-
line sky, the smoke of a north-
ward bound train, itself not visible,
as it made its gradual way up the
long slope to the Continental Divide.
My eyes came again to the fresh
green of the fields and followed the
muddy broken sheen of the canal
as it flowed smoothly along to the
group of neutral-tinted long ranch
buildings at one side of which my
grandmother’s flower garden made
a faint splotch of color.

Described
Two inhabitants of a sagebrush
town were seated on a cracker box
exchanging desultory conversation.
“You know them hot cakea what
the fellow flips in the window of
the Forlorn Hope restaurant?”
“Yes, I know ’em.”
“Ever try ’em?”
“Yes, I’ve tried them.” •
“What do you think of 'em?”
The citizen thus appealed to
gazed reflectively toward the foot-
hills for some minutes and then ren-
dered judgment.
“That feller’s not a cook, he’s a
juggler.”—Judge.
Belief in "Evil tye”
Is Still Prevalent
“Pay as You Enter”
The Mudford Rovers were an-
noyed that some small boys were
gaining admission to the ground
without paying.
The secretary considered the mat-
ter and then had the following no-
tice posted up in a prominent po-
sition :
“There are two kinds of kick-
offs—one can be seen and one felt.
To seo one and avoid the other
please pay as you enter.”
A Person of V/eight
Then She Said “No”
He—Oh, do say you will marry
rue! Why don’t you answer?
Site (hesitatingly)—Oh—I—er—

He—Why, any one would think
I had asked you to sing.
The “Evil Eye” is a mysterious
power attributed to certain persona
who are thereby able to injure eth-
ers, or even cause their death,, by
simply looking at them. This an-
cient and widespread superstition
was at one time sanctioned by the
classical authors, the fathers of the
church and the physicians of the
Middle ages, and is still believed in
many nations within the range of
Christendom.
The belief is widely spread among
the Italians and Spaniards at the
present day, as well as among the
Turks, Chinese and Japanese. The
ancient Greeks called it Baskania,
and the Romans, Fascinum. Ver-
gil, in the third eclogue, speaks of
an “evil eye” that has bewitched
the tender lambs, and St. Paul in
Galatians 3:1, makes use of the
idea metaphorically to denote the
spiritual perversion of the Gala-
tians as follows:
“0 foolish Galatians, who hath
bewitched you, that ye should not
obey the truth, before whose eyes
Jesus Christ hath evidently set
forth, crucified among you.”—Cur-
rent History Magazine.
western plains of North America.
The facial characteristics of this fig-
ure will lead even the novice in
ethnology to remark their re-
semblance to those of the American
aborigines.
By far the most important fea-
ture of the display, the label, which
authenticates the theory that the
original people of America migrated
here from the Orient is the placard
reading, “Imported from India.” it
looks as if Columbus had the right
idea at that.
The Bright Mistress
Mistress—Mary Ann, you’re ex-
pecting company, aren’t you?
Servant—How can ye till, mum?
Mistress—You’ve cooked an ap-
petizing dinner.
Stranger—Can you direct me to
some one of importance here—some-
body of weight ?
Native—I git yer, mister. You
might see Bill Jones—he weighs
’bout 300 pounds. °
Dubious Compliment
She (at masquerade ball)—Do
you think my costume becoming?
He—Yes, indeed; but you would
look attractive in any disguise.—
Boston Transcript.
Origin of American
Indian Now Settled
Etluiologists and others who be-
lieve that the Indian of North
and South America had an Asiatic
origin will find their belief substan-
tiated beyond their most optimistic
hopes in the form of a display in
the window of a shoe store in Fifty-
ninth street and Second avenue,
says the New York Sun and Globe.
This display is to all appearances a
pair of moccasins, in shape and in
manner of construction similar to
those of the red man.

Pastor Gave a Discount
At a certain church in a South-
ern town it is the invariable custom'
of the pastor to kiss the bride after!
the ceremony. Now one young
woman who was about to be mar-
ried in his church did not relish the
prospect and instructed her pros-
pective husband to advise the min-
ister that she did not wish him to
kiss her. The bridegroom obeyed
the instruction given.
When the young man returned
she asked: “Henry, did you tell
the minister that I did not wish him
to kiss me?”
“I did, Florence.”
“What did he say?”
“He said that in that case he
would charge only half the usual
fee.”—Harper’s Magazine.
Children Imitative
“What under the sun-is the mat-
ter with that pack of children?”
cried a tourist whom an uproar had
caused to halt his car in the big
road. “I never saw such a fighting,
howling mob of kids in all my life?
What is it all about?”
“Well, as nigh as I can make
out,” replied Gap Johnson of Rum
pus Ridge, “they hecred some feller
telling about the Bok or Sock or
Block peace game, and they ’pear
to be playing it the best they know
how.”
