Tliore is, a tree in the West Indies thnt tlie natives say "grows dishes!" It looks like an apple tree. Tliey eall it the calabash. It hears very queer leaves and large white blossoms that grow right from the trunk and larger branches. After the flower conies the fruit, just as our apples or peaches do. lint this fruit is in the shape of a gourd, only stronger and much larger, sometimes a foot in diameter. Now, see wlmt a use the people of that country make of this fruit. The shell is so linrd that all sorts of big and little dislies and drinking cups can ho curved out of it. Kvon pot;; and kettles are made and used over the (ire. but of course they cannot last as long as our iron ones. IVloliril ?Em. "Hello. Jliggles!

"Aye, to be sure," returned Mary, "but it ain't handsomeness that does it, Sarah. It's the 'come hither' in your eye." Ilird Illerntion. After years of study devoted to the topic Professor Alfren Newton of Cambridge stated that without doubt bird migration is the greatest mystery in the entire animal kingdom, "a mystery," he added, "that can be no more explained by the modern man of science than by the simple minded savage of a*tiquity." tl ' - CAN YOU SEE THAT Some people see MNimudi that for >; - Christmas Presents. *. 3r You know we have glasses of all kinds?that we examine the eyes, mate and lit glasses for old anil young. * In fact we make old eves young ),. and young eyes better.
