SACRIFICES TO THE GOBS, BlNG-STOKE Co. THE COTTLE THEE. A Life Saver For Cattle During the Australian Draughts. "It wns like a real bottle, thirty feet high, covered with tlie Imrk of a box tree mid with a gum tree growing out where tlie,cork ought to be." Such was the way in which an Eng lishman deseriben the llrst bottle tree Which came under his notice, and truly one who does not know the troi- its sndden appearance in his pathway, often In the midst of dense scrub, must make a vivid lmprenslou. The lower part of the trunk la thick end cylindrical, decreasing in size to ward the top. Its shape being that of a gigantic living bottle, from the neck of which spring the only branches and leaves that the tree possesses. In this respect it carries to an excess the pe culiarity of most Australian trees namely, their lack of branches for considerable distance up the stem. The bark is of fcrnylsh C0or and 1 , very hard, says the Philadelphia In quirer, but the wood Inside Is soft and moist. The latter can be chewed lu the same way as sugar cane, but as it l.-icks its sweet, pleasant taste it is rarelv used In this way.. This peculiar LEFT ON HER DOORSTEP FOR THIS MOTHER Mrs. A. O. Tuson, of Llvermore, Cal., writes: "I picked up from my door step one day a little book In which I soon became very much Interested. My little girl of five years of age had been troubled for a long time with loss of appetite, extreme nervousness and undue fatigue. She was all run down and in a very delicate condition. "This little book was very compre hensively written, and told of the new method of extracting the medicinal ele ments of the cod's liver from tho nil eliminating the obnoxious oil which Is so hard for children to take. " 'Just the thing,' said I, 'for my little daughter,' and I immediately went for a bottle of Vinol. It helped her won derfully. She has gained rapidly in flesh and strength, and she does not take cold half so easily. "I am extremely grateful for the good it has done her, and I hope other mothers who have weak, delicate or ailing children will be benefited by my experience and just give Vinol a trial." Vinol issold In Reyooldsvllle by tho Stoke & Felcht Drug Go. TOir J characteristic or tne tree" nowever, makes It a valuable food for cattle. Indeed, during the long droughts which occasionally visit Australia hun dreds of settlers have to thank the bottle tree for saving them from ruin. Sometimes for more than a year nnd lu the inland districts for still longer periods scarcely a drop of rain falls. Every blade of grass Is dried, tanks become empty, creeks 110 longer run and lu many cases dry up altogether, as do nearly all water holes and la goons; cultivation Is impossible, nnd fodder for cattle and horses is extreme ly difficult to procure. Then the bottle tree coiiilm to the rescue. Every scrub is searched for these living bottles, and everywhere is heard the ringing of axes as the strange, attractive trees, are laid low. As soon as the trunk has been strip ped of its barl; the cattle are brought to It if wiiliiii easy distance, and there they remain till neither leaves nor wood Is left. In places where the settlers have no scrubs of their own they will drive many miles in order to obtain a wagon load of this great treas ure. Sometimes instead of allowing the animals free access to the tree the set tlers cut the trunk Into strips, put the strips through the cutter and thus make a sunstitute for proper chaff. In many Instances during a drought. except for prickly nears and the foil. ago of trees, cattle are fed on these living bottles alone, and they have been the means of saving large qunnti ties of stock. It seems strange that in the absence of rain these trees should retain their moist interior, as the majority of oH) ers look dry and drought stricken. But throughout all the bottle tree flourishes, lifting Its dark green leaves toward tho sky, whither the farmers and squatters turn longing eyes In hopes of the wished for rain. When the dry season ends and the laud In a very few weeks is covered with fresh green grass, the work of the bottle tree is done. But, mindful of Its past usefulness, no farmer un less under absolute necessity fells this tree, ami It may often be seen stand ing In solitary grandeur, its strange shape outlined against the blue sky, while the land at Its base has been put under cultivation or has been con verted into grazing grounds for the cattle.

HUMPHREY Plumber Homemade Barometer. Those who love experimentation may try the following method of making a cheap barometer practiced lu France: Tako eight grams of pulverized cam phor, four grams of pulverized nitrate of potassium, two grams of pulverized nitrate of ammonia and dissolve tn six ty grams of alcohol. Put the whole in a long, slender bottle closed at the top with a piece of bladder containing a pinhole to admit the air. When rain is coming the solid particles will tend gradually to mount, little star crystals forming In the liquid, which otherwise remains clear. If high winds are ap proaching the liquid will become thick, as If fermenting, while a film of solid particles forms on the surface. During fair weather the liquid will remain clear and the solid particles will rest at the bottom. . XJUGHES & FLEMING. FUNERAL DIRECTORS. VUIn Street. Benoldivllle, Pa. Rival Dignities.

Mother Earth Is supposed to sleep six davs In everv month, and on such days she refuses to be disturbed In her Blumber. In northwest Iudla the cultivator employs a pundit to select an ausiil cious time for the commencement of plowing. Groat secrecy Is observed. In some plnces the time selected is in the niglit; in others daybreak is the cus tomary time. The pundit goes to a field. taklriB n brass drinking vessel and a branch of the sacred mango tree, which Is effica cious in frightening away evil spirits that may haunt the field. Prithivl, the broad world, and Sesha Naga. the great snakes which support the world, are supposed to be propitiated and reconciled by this ceremony. The pun dit satisfies himself as to the direction In which the great Bnake Is lying, for It occasionally moves abnut a little to ease Itself of the great bnrden of the broad world which It carries. The pundit then marks off an Imaginary line. Five (a lucky number) cloils of earth are thrown up. and water is sprinkled in the trench five times with the sacred mango bush to insure pro ductiveness. Caution must bcexercised lest the charm be broken and prospec tive fortune Imperiled. The farmer must remain secluded during the fol lowing day; no salt must be eaten, no money, grain or fire given away. Among the Karnas before plowing the farmer makes a burnt offering of butter and molasses In hla Aim flnl.l nd again at the village shrine.
