Uses For Fruit Seeds.

The seeds or stones of many fruits which would apparently seem useless have some economic value, and In this connection we are speaking chiefly of those which are often thrown away, passing over many that are applied to omamentnl uses. In certain parts of Egypt date stones are boiled to soften them, and the camels and cattle are fed upon them. They are calcined by the Chinese and are said to enter into the composition of their India ink. In Spain they are burned and powdered for dentifrice, and vegetable Ivory nuts are said to be applied to the same purposes. Some species of attalea nuts are burned In Brazil' to blacken the raw caoutchouc or India rubber. The seed or stone of the tamarind is sometimes preserilied In India In cases of dysentery as a tonic and In the form of an electuary.
