POISONOUS TREE IS DREADED
BY AFRICAN NATIVE8.
IU Sap Deadly to Humanity, and Pec- i
pis of the Country Take Precau- .
tlont When They Seek 8hL
tor Beneath It. j
Everywhere the manchlpeel bears
i the reputation of being a moat dan
gerous tree, lu the shade whereof It
it uever safe to rest. Thin evil repu
tation baa Its orlgiu lu the poisonous
qualities of the sup aud dull of a
tree of tbla kind found lu Africa tho
arborescent euphorbia. Tills tree has
a uiagulllceut but most peculiar up
pearauce, and the thickness of Its fo
liage, which wholly excludes the sun,
seems to Invito the traveler to rent
beneath Its branches. The negroes
have a way of taking advantage of
the delightfully cool shade, and at the
same time avoiding the danger from
the poisonous droppings of the tree
They erect a thatched roof below the
lowest branches, and then reposo in
peace and security.
Tremaux, the French explorer, has
perhaps given the best account of
these, aborescent euphorbias. While
taking a view of Cacaue, he asked
one of bis negroes who stood near
him to seat himself under a great
euphorbia that stood lu the fore
ground. At first the nattve hesitated;
then after a while he decided to yield,
but not without raising his eyes many
times In apprehension toward the
branches of the tree.
The Frenchman was about to climb
upon a rock to break off a branch,
but the negro seeing him approach
fled In terror from the shade of the
deadly tjae, gesticulating wildly and
giving utterance to terms the foreign
er could not understand. The man's
gestures, however, aud a few Arabic
words uttered by one of the bystand
ers, "Do you mean to die?" made the
explorer understand that in touching
the tree he was running a serious
risk.
Iiut the thing was done, und the
broken branch In the Frenchman's
hand. Immediately a milky fluid
flowed forth, In much greater quantity
than he could have Imagined from
what he knew of these plants in other
countries, covering bis clothes and
penetrating even to his skin.
The features aud gestures of the
negroes expressed their fear. They
made the traveler understand that If
the white juice touched one of the
numerous wounds which he at that
time had on his body he would die,
and that it was dangerous even to
let it touch the skin.
It 1b with this juice that certain of
the African tribes poison their weap
ons lu order to make the woundB In
flicted' thereby mortal. They first
thlckeu it until It acquires the con
sistency of paste. Then they dip in it
the points or blades of the weapons
they wish to poison.
Trees of this kind are often 24 feet
In diameter and 70 feet In circumfer
ence. The greatest height Is 24 feet.
The trunk and large branches are of
hard wood; the smaller branches con
sist mostly of pith and parenchyma,
sustained by a slender woody fiber.
Making the Nation's Money.
The government of the United States
last year made money at the rate of
14,812,734 a diy. the total of bills
printed amounting to the neat little
sum of $1,443,82(1,320. There were just
348,129,172 separate bills, ranging
from the lowly $1 to the mighty $10,
000 note, few, however, of the latter
perhaps a couple of dray loads. If
these notes were laid end to end they
would reach nearly twice around the
globe; or, should tlu government
choose to spread them on the ground,
they would cover au area of 1,500
acres. Hut should stacking be pre
ferred, the last note, when placed,
would be something like 27 miles from
the earth. The cubic contents of
the pile of notes printed in a year
are atjout 17,000 cubic feet. It costs
the government $9.25 a thousand to
print these notes, the cost for the
yearly Issue being $3,090,000. Har

Rich Land Owned by Indiana.
Land which was absolutely forced
on the Snake Indians In the Creek
country, Oklahoma, Is proving the
source of inestimable riches, owing to
the discoveries In that section by oil
prospectors. So far not a dry hole
has been found in this marvelous Held,
aud on the laud of the Snakes are
scores of rigs engaged In drilling.
About nine years ago the government
decided to allot arbitrarily to the
Snakes. All the good land was goue,
and they gave them allotments In a
section of the Creek nation where the
laud was considered worthless. The
federal government set aside 100 acres
for each Snake, the laud being chunl
fled at $2 au acre. Since oil was struck
the rights of the Indians have beeu
carefully guarded by the department

LONG BURIED IN SNOW
FAMILY RESCUED AFTER FIVE
WEEKS BENEATH DRIFTS.
Authentic Record of Almost Miracu
lous Escape From Death in an
Avalanche In the Euro
pean Alps.
it seems Incredible that any human
biing could survive for live weeks
under u snow-drltt; yet In the year
1705 three inhabitants of the haiuli t
ut r.eigolcltu, lu the vuiley'ol tile
I ppw Sluia at the fool ut Ibe Alps,
did Just that.
During the winter of that )ear the
tail of snow was unusual!) heavy On
Maich 19, the parish priest, on his
) to church, heard a lerrtlying roar
Hoin the muumaiii top Casting up
his eves, be saw two avalanches de
scending toward the village, lie gae
the alarm, and theu run back Into bis
ov.ii house.
'Ihe avalanches buried over thirty
houses. Twenty-two persons were
mining, Including the parish priest
who had given tho alarm 'Ihe mass
: of snow that lay over the ruined
dwellings was about forty-two feet
deep.
W lieu the surviving peasants had
shaken oil their terror, they set about
dying to save whatever lite or prop
i erly they could. Feasants from neigh
: boring villages came to their assist
; ance. llut they could do little; Ihe
I depth of the avalani he was so great,
and the snow continued to fall lu
j such quantity, that they had to wait
i for the warm April winds to melt thu
! gigantic snow piles,
i Uu April 18 the villagers returned
i to their melancholy task. They bad
uo hope of finding any human being
' alive. One of them, named Hoccia,
whose entire family was beneath the
j avalanche, was most active In the
I search. By April 24 be had got so far
i that, after breaking through six feet
' of icy snow, he could touch the
ground with a long pule. Three
friends worked with him.
The four worked vigorously, aud
made their way ut length Into ltoc
cla'B house, but no one, dead or living,
was there. As It was probable that
the victims had sought shelter In the
stable, about a hundred feet from the
house, Roccia and his companions be-
! gau to dig lu that direction. After
they had burrowed for some time,
they reached the stable. One of the
men thrust a pole through a hole In
the wall, and on withdrawing it, heard
a hoarse, faint cry for help.
The workers now toiled with re
doubled activity, aud soon they had
made a large opening. Aud there, to
his joy, Hoccia found his wife, his
daughter, and a Bister-ln law. The
three sufferers could uot move, and
were shruukeE almost to skeletons.
The men carefully carried them to a
near-by house, and took measures for
reviving them. In a few days they
had pretty well recovered.
They owed their HveB to these cir
cumstances: They had taken refuge
in tho manger, which, being strong,
had withstood the weight of the snow,
although the roof fell In. Fortunately,
two goats were near them, and these
animals supplied them with milk
enough to keep them alive.
They had, of course, to feed the
goats. Over the manger was a hole
Into the hay-loft. Through this hole
one of the women was able to pull
down fodder into the rack; and when
she could no longer reach the hay, the
sagacious animals climbed upon her
shoulders and helped themselves.
Through the whole of their live
weeks' Imprisonment they were In to
tal darkness. After the first five or
six days, they suffered little from
hunger, although a quart of goats
milk had to suffice for the three
They Buffered far more from the chill
of the melted snow-water that trickled
over them, and from the cramped po
sitions In which they had to sit and

Gypsy Prophecy Fulfilled.
There Is a singular Incident related
Of Charles I. of Kngland. It Is tradi
tional at Hampton Court. He was
one day standing ut a window of his
palace surrounded by his children,
when a gypsy came up and asked for
charity. Her appearance excited ridi
cule and perhaps threats. This so en
raged her that olio took out of her
basket a Biuall looklng-glu and pre
sented It to the king. He saw in 11
his owu head chopped off from the
body. With a natural wish to propiti
ate so prophetic a beggar, some money
was given her. She then said that the
death of a dog In that very room would
precede the restoration of the crown
to hie family, which the king was
about to lose. Oliver Cromwell Is sup
posed to have elept in that room after
ward, and ho was always attended by
a faltbful dog. On awakening one
morning he found the dug dead, on
which he exclaimed. In allusion to the
gypsy's prophecy: "The kingdom Is de
parted from me." This shows a super
stitious trait In Cromwell, and, strange
lo say, he died soon after.

Now comes a sage statistician

class, are longer-lived than baich

It caimoi be, as some waggish
bachelor lus supgesied, thai ihe
married hie is not leally longer
bin meld) seems so. Nor does
the explanation ol die learned
sialisiicuu. dial married men are
"thoroughly supervised," siilfice
On thai theory, a rooster in coop
should lice longer than any eagle
in ihe air. I here musi I c some
subtler reason back of ihe bene
dict's Iniigev iiy.
Between thirty and filiy, the
average bachelor is sleek enough;
his step is springy, his raiment
stylish, he purrs in prospenty.
The average married man of this
period, on ihe contrary, is rather
lean and grim. He goes his way
with a purpose in his soul or a
patch upon his trousers. The gay '
winged beetles of b.ichelordotn flit
where ihey will but he, frugal mil i
ihat he is, must mind him of the
waning summer and keep patiently
gathering crumbs.
Then conies autumn with iis
frost and winnowing winds, and
what a transformation do we seel
Your bachelor's blood begins to
pale; he is less careful lo wipe the
butter spois from his sleeve and to
keep his trousers creased. He :
has given no "hostages io foriune" '
and so, when his own youth is
taking flight, there are no children
or grandchildren to crow it home
again. Then it is that the face
and spirit of the benedict begins to
wax and shine like a mellow moon.
He spruces and ebonies among
his merry younglings and finds
life beginning all anew again.
II a married man can bui last
until he is fifty or thereabout, the
remainder of the journey will be
blithe enough and old age will
draw on "like a lusty vx'inter,
frosty but kindly." The bachelor,
on the other hand, suH'ers from ihe
very fact thai he has had liltle to
worry over and has less to look
i toward to. Take ihe yoke, you
