A Soap-Yielding Tree.

We find the following in the columns
of the Irish Farmers Gazette:
For many years there has existed in
England and France large demand
for the bark of tree growing in Chill,
known as the QuilLojd Sapondrid, or
soap-yielding outlay. Many of those
who have supplied the bark have been
in ignorance Of the purpose for which it
is employed, and with a recklessness as
blind as their ignorance, they have been
content to destroy the tree, without car
ing to consider where future supplies
were to come from, or to know to what
uses the material was applied. AS a
consequence the tree is growing scarce
i'll the CHILEAN forest, and wool and silk
manufacturers in England and France
are likely to have to look about for sub
stitute for powerful alkaloid which they
have been accustomed to use in cleans
ing the raw materials of their manufac-
lures. The bark of the QuilLGjG-a tree
which obtains colossal dimensions even
among the giants of Chilian forests
rich in substance known as sdponin,
which is extremely valuable for dressing
silk or wool. 1t is said that decoction
prepared by placing a small piece of this
bark, and soaking it over night in water,
will remove in minute or two grease
from greasy articles of clothing, and
leave the cloth clean and fresh as if it
were new. 1t may also be used for
cleansing hair brushes and other similar
purposes, under conditions in which
soap and other alkalies are powerless.
1t is also suitable for hair wash, and is
said to be largely used by French hair
dressers, though the mode of prepare
ton is kept secret. Such tree ought to
be Invaluable in Australia, New Zealand,
Cape Colony, and other colonies where
wool growing is staple industry; and
it has we believe, been strongly recon-
mended by Baron Ferdinand Won Muller
among the plants whose introduction
into Australia would be advantageous.
1t is hardy evergreen tree, with white
flower, and may be reproduced by seeds
or by ripened cuttings placed in sand
with little heat In its natural habitat
it is met with in various kinds of soil,
from those of a sandy nature to peat and

awaiting anxiously to test its efficacy on
either dog or reptile poisoning.
Another remedy easily applied and al
ways at hand is to dig hole in the earth
and bury. the injured part in it.
There is something peculiar in connec-
ton with snake bite, and want to tell
you of it. Ii man should be bitten on
the arm, say to-day, just one year from
now, within day OF two of the anniver-

those OF a snake appear, and this will
recur each succeeding year.-Pittsburg
