The Natural Soap of the Indians and Mexioans

The Natural Soap of the Indians and Mexioans.
These cacti grow on the American
continent from Mount Shasta on the
north to similar latitude IN South Amer
ica, and from the Pacific coast to east
of the Rio Grande, through New Mexico
and Western Texas. The flower stalks
are destitute of leaves but are plenti-
fully supplied with branches about eigh-
Steen inches long, from which flowers Of
white and yellow colors are suspended
in the Towering season. The dubious
root is from one to six inches in diameter
and from six to eighteen inches long. A
saponaceous juice is expressed from the
root, and the fiber of the leaves is heck
led for the manufacture of mattresses,
cushions, chair seats, etc, etc. The
vegetable soap extracted from the root
has been used by Indians, Mexicans and
others for many years as q hair wash,
and exceeds in purity our manufacture
from animal substances. The preserva-
tive qualities of the soap are well known,
and its useSgives the hair a fine natural
glow, preventing decay of the hair aud
entirely eradicating dandruff or other
impurities on the scalp. The soap root
is the basis of the sozodont. Cattle eat
the leaves in the Spring as a purgative;
and cut into bits and thrown on the wa
ter where fish abound, the result is
stupefaction of the fish. when they can
he easily taken. Other useful qualities
may be found in this vegetable produc-
tion upon scientific Investigation. An
unlimited quantity can be obtained in
New Mexico and the surrounding coun-
tries. The price among the indians and
MeXicans, who sell it in Tucson, is five
cents for bunch of two stalks inter-
laced (mancuerna). AS 1.-THE glory of a
woman is her hair" amole may be safe
ly recommended to the ladies as the best
preservative yet discovered. Any one
who has once smclt the fumes of an. ami
NAL soap factory. much less one familiar
with the ingredients used in the COM
position of toilet soap, will need no
argument in favor of vegetable SOAP
For cleaning fannels the amole is found
vastly superior. 1t may be hoped that
the manufacture and preparation of
amole may become one of the industrial
pursuits OF the cactus ountry.-IucS0p

Aside from the wbiskey, tobacco

the nsxt best thisgs to reduce ex-
pensss on in order to provide for
schools. Nearly all our towns Of any
size have from two 10 . dozen celored
societies. Hew easy would it be for
these societies, instead Of renting from
year to year separate halle, to put
their meaEs together, buy piece Of

several orders to have one common

Farming Prospects.

1t is not strange that our farmers
should feel discouraged after too sue
cessive years Of poor crops. The des-
tructive drcuth occurring in the midst
Of the growing season for the two past
years SO shortened the crops as to cut
off their sleader margin of profit aud,
in many instances, to leave them iu
debt. 1t ia rather subject for con-
graduation that the country survives
uch a disaster in as good condition
as we ind ourselves to-day.
There are mauy countries where a
partial failure in crops for one year
produces such great suffering and pri-
vations among the poor laborers as
to call for outside help. Here moth
ing OF the kind has occurred. Tue,
ss stated, some industrious farmers
have come out in debt, and lahcrors
find themselves compelled to work hard
for their daily support. Sill there j.
plenty Of work in the country to be
done. and no actual suffering has come
to light.
Indeed, while this view does not re-
duce US to despair. it nevertheless de-
maads for the situation prompt thought
and action by theas in position to
mako things better, viz: our land own
els and capitalists.
What is the situation. and what the
remedy?
Almost empty handed, after tive
years Of partial failures in his crops,
the laborer and renter has scarcely
any heart to begin work for the new
crop. Indeed, many have lost stock
and farming implements aud have
nothing to make a crop with. The
land Is poor and feArs rise Up lest an
other unlucky season may withsr he
growing crops.
Under these circumstances merch
ants are slow to advance supplies, and
inclined to charge ruiaous rates of 10
terest, all of which tends TO further
embarrass the lahofer.
Yet the land must be titled, or the
country suffer in all Of its interests
not only the landlord and the tenant.
but the merchant, the lawyer, the doc
tor, the teachsr-all professions and
trades must sufer-for here all de-
rive their support from the agricult-
ural interests.
The remedy for the situation ia
cheaper rents. The landowners must
meet the tenants on the half wav
ground, and rent their land at living
prices. Capitalists must open their
purses and give employment to honest
labersrs. Then, with . good crop
year, eontestment and plenty will
drive away present iorebodings.
