One of the strangest of trees is the Ita palm, funnd abundantly on the banks of the Amazon and other Sonth American rivers. In the swainpy regions, which cover immense areas, the Ita palm fur nishes food, driuk, clothing and com fortable homes for tlie natives. The Indians that inhabit theseswampy districts make a tolerable wine from the sap of the palm, and they distill a strong er etimuhmt by crushing and ferment ing the young fruits. The food is de rived from the soft Inner bark of the stems, and is a substance that in t.osto and apiienrance closely resembles sago. The soft and fibrous hark is osed for garments and for making strings, ropes, hammocks ami tho like. In times of high water, often lasting two or three mouths, the natives make floorings in the trees with the bark ropes and live there in comfort and content ment Philadelphia Times.

Now, ir a child of six had made that remark it wonld have been touching, but for a broad shouldered person of any number of feet to announce that he was afraid of hawks was too much for our sense of humor we laughed. "What did yon do?" asked the inquisitive member of our house party. "1 flapped my bauds and shouted," said Mr. Rogers, "but th) hawk didn't mind at all; it kept circling round my head and swooping dowu" We reasoned with him. We said it was physically impossible for a hawk to fly away with him. We told him the next time a hawk chased him to fall flat upon his face and call for help. We suirirestud that a plump mosquito had caused his alarm. All in vain. Ho lis tened without emotion, and fixing bis eye on me as the most obtrusively merry person present, said, "Wait till a hawk is arter you; you won t line it. AN EVENINO WALK.
