Henry says nobody sees them back In the bedrooms, so why should 1 worry? But I tell him we spend one-third of our lives lying in them—" heaven, how “Henry spends. a good deal more'n a third—" “But Henry's not lazy, Uncle Andy! “No? Who said he was?” “Of course, | know that 1 wouldn't want linen sheets and all-wool plank ets—and everything like that. Poor people like us don't expect them.

I was mighty nigh tuckered out afterward. But we got that prize!” “But the beds—did beds?” demanded ishly. “No, 1 didn't. Henry decided that as the money had been produced by the farm it was nothing but right that it should be used on the farm. He needed new sets of harness for the teams—he got the nicest looking ones with stars snd tassels—and the barn needed paloting that year, and the pump had to be repaired for the barn well, Hadn't you better take one of those quieting tablets, Uncle Andy?” “Did you try again?” asked Uncle Andy unmindful of Mary's query. “Oh, yes!

Their respec- tive trunks, three feet above the ground, says a writer in the Times of India, measure respectively, 47 feet 4 inches and 40 feet 3 inches and are of a queer quadrilateral shape, golog straight up some 12 feet, before they ramify into great branches, each branch as massive as a thick tree. They stand stark naked, in the win- ter, as do English trees, but they are magnificent in full leaf. The leaves are bright green and glossy, and grow in thick bunches, each on a long fine stalk, They are pentaphyllous, and beautifully symmetrical, the center teaflet being about four inches long, and two inches wide across the middie, The seedpod, which dangles like a large mango from & stalk along with each bunch of leaves, has a hard wooden case, covered with green plush, containing cotton wool as well as seeds, The seeds are taken from the pods, hollowed out and used by the villagers for snuff boxes! The trees are called Gujerati Imli (the tamarind of Gujaraj) although neither leaf nor seedpot resemble the tamarind at all, but are reminiscent of the leaf and seedpod of the Semal, ® The Skin Game A naturalist says that there are gharks enough In the sea to serve all the world's demand for leather—and it 1s fine leather at that.
