Nature in her all enfolding beneficence
here has trees which form roof, corner posts

A VEGETABLE! TOOTH BuUSlL
The chaw stick is a vegetable tooth brush.
Tho negroes hero noted for fine white teeth,
and often you will see them with a piece of
chaw stick in the mouth. The plant has a
flexible stem which climbs by tendrils. This
looks liko licorice root This cut into fcix
inch lengths, the ends chewed, furnish a
Obrous vegetable binslj. It contains an aro
matic, sightly Litter principle allied to soap
in its effect; hence chewing it, as we say of a
tavorite dentifrice, makes the teeth clean,
the mouth sweet, the breath fragrant. The
colored folks at public fi&tivals sell small
beer of various flavors on tho street, and with
this chaw stick they give it froth.
The children have a living fountain of
chewing gum trees. There is in the hospital
grounds a fine example of Ileus Indiea, tho fig
which yields India rubber. The leaves large,
oval, thick, shining aud vivid green; the
roots spread over much surface. The chil
dren scrape olT a little bark, the milk flows,
and they let it run over the finger and
palms. When I saw this dane I thought it
would be a lqr,g job to get those hands free
from the sticky stuff. But lo! on exjosurc
to the air a few minutes, rubbing the hands
together meanwhile, the milk became dark
gray and presently peeled off and left the
skin as clean as if washed with soap. A vast
improvement over soap and towels.
Tho boys find ready grown marbles, j-el-low,
gray and red, hiding from them in tho
thickest of goulanuia, or Conduo vines.
Each prickly pod has from one to three
"nickers," or nuts hariL round and smooth.
Necklaces, brooches and ear rings are also
formed of them,
