The Eucalyptus ntaigeriana tree,
known as the lemon-scented iron bark, is
a native of Q .ern,land. where il Was
FIST discovered by Mr.. p. f. Sellheim.
lis leaves POSSESS an odor exactly like
Ina, uf tine iemon-scented verbena, and
the oil they yield is equal in fragrance to
that of the s~o-callel oil of veroena of
commerce. which is not obtained from
the verbeua, but from the grass andre
pygon citratus. ID. {. The dried leaves,
according 10 Staiger, yield , 3 { per cent.
of the volatile oil of sp. gr. 0.9ll. The
demand for the lemon grass oil is con.
siderable, as much as 13.515 ounces hav-
ing been exported from Ceylon in 1915;
it IL also largely manufactured AT sigma
pore. Hence this tree the Eucalyptus s..
appears worthy the attention of planters
on account of its volatile OIL. The olor
of the oil is qui G different from that Of
Eucalyptus citriodora. which resembles
and might be substituted for citronel o
oil. SO extensively lsed f|orscenting soap.

Eighty years ago Joseph Geer. the hrst
settler a: Long Eddy. y. Y, learned the
cure from John johnson, a half-bresd
Delaware Indian. who had his wigwam
ON the Pennsylvania side OF the river. at
the foot of Long Eddy, and eked out a
miserable existence hunting. fishing and
supplying the settlers with lead from a
NINE somewhere in the vicinity, to
which he would 20 and get a load and
return the same day. Johnson, like
most Indians. was an invcterate lover OF
whiskey. aud for a pint Of it would let a
rattlesnake bite him and then cure him
self with his remedy, which, however,
he would not reveal.
Geer always kept liquor in his house,
and on an occasion wnen Johnson was
recovering from one of his frequent
spells of drinking to excess and was suf-
fering terribly for the want of liquor,
Geer, by promising never to reveal the
secret while Johnson was alive, sue
ceeded in getting the remedy for a pint
of whisky. A few years thereafter
johnson went off with n strollins bani
of Indians and never returned. Geer
kept the remedy a secret, however. TIL
from on a.c ne WIS untp4t " answer
the calls Of the settlers when any OF
them or their stock had been bitten. and
then told it freely to all. 1t Is as fol-
lows:
Apply to the wound n poultice ono
hall each Of common sllt an indigo,
mixed with cold water. and rene " every
two hours. Eit freely of the leaves, or
drink often OF a tea nude from them. Of
n variety OF the blue violet (V. S rsit-
tata). commonly known as the arrow
leavel" violet. II the bite be upon the
les or an arm, bind the leaves in acircle
around it above and just beyond the
swelling. MOisten with cold water as
often as they get dry from the fever Gre
ated by the poison, and renew two or
three times a day.
During the time this remedy has been
in use in Mr.. Geer's neighborhood it has
effected ut least twenty cures upon hui
man beings, a great many more upon
beasts. and has never failed with either.

Prince, a tame lion on board his ma
iesty's George ILL ship Ariadne, had a
keeper to whom he was much attached.
The keeper got drunk N day. and as
the captain never forgave that crime he
was ordered TO be flogged. The grating
was rugged on the main deck. opposite
Princes den, a large barred upplace. the
pillars large and cased with iron. When
the keeper began TO strip. Prince rose
gloomily from his couch, and got as near
to his friend as possible. On beholding
his bare back, he walked hastily around
the den, and when he saw the boltswain
inlet the first lash, his eyes sparkied
with fire, and his sides resounded WITTY
the strong and quick beating5 of his tail.
At last when the blood began TO flow
from the mans back, and the ~clotted
cats jerked their cory knots close to the
lions den. his fury became tremendous;
he roared with a voice of thunder. shook
the strong bars of the prison as if they
had been osiers. and inIing his efforts to
break loose %unavailing. he rolled and
shrielSed in a manner the most terrific
that it IS possible to conceive. The
captain fearing that he might break
loose. ordered the marines to load and

the keeper to be cast off. and 20 to his

ton Of e,5OO Horse Guests.
There arc many places in NV York.
in which horses are boarded. But there
il only one so big that it has been callel
@rhe Horse HOTEL THIS is the resi-
dence of a great number OF the ear
horses that we see every day on the
streets. There ARE more beds an dining
tables and more meals provided than in
the Windsor and Brunswick comOinel.
Upon entering. one IS stric,s by the vast
number of horses that stand about the
doors, Just as men stand about other
hotels, only the horses seem better bred.
At this hotel ARE waiting and reception
rooms, bedrooms. kitchen. to say moth
ing Of the army OF chamhermaids. chief
cooks and walters. and what other hotels
do not have, namely, n hospital and
shoemaker
Upon entering the visitor is struck
with the prevailing neatnes and %cleanii-
ness. II is also seen that the most per
feet order prevails. The hotel employs
a vast NUMBER OF servants. and all VINO
have sevn its glests travelling down
Broadway attest To the fine condition Of
its inmates. No dust IS ever on their
coats. and their shoes are always nicely
polished. Bat the queer thing about
this hotel is that its chambermails are
men.
In this hotel every sixteen horses have
a "mail." Tais i, much better than
other hotels for then the servants 90 not
get overworkei. These servants have
nothing else TO do but to feed, water and
clean. and in the morning comb ont the
guests front and back hair. The mails
also have to sweep ont the rooms. of
which th"re are $500 for the 2.20J horse
guests. Tie store-room is another Won
derful place. Because the guests ALWAYS
are compelled to eat the same fool, this
~oom is very large, and a big stock is
Kept on hand. When full. there are 20,-
600 bales of hay, 2J. 900 bushels of oats,
and 10000 bushels of other feed. The
manager has all his guests fed chopped
feed, so the kitchen is very large and in
it men work all day preparing the meals
by running everything through great
machines. When this is done the wait
ers come and ca ry it awav, and at 4:30
and II in the morning and j in the after
noon the inmates have their meals.
1t is also found that horses. Just like
human beings. have a great many sick
nesscs and ailments, Most of the horses
get corns .st like men and women. and
when they get hurt they suffer Just the
same. So the tender-hearted man ger
of this hotel has n hospital and Keeps a
iull corps of doctors always in attend
ancc. lie has also fitted up in one cor
ncr a drug store where medicine can be
procured very quiekly. Bscause the
guests suffered so MUCH from sore feet
and corns this Kind manager sat up
many nights until lie invented a kind of
bath and tub with which t. cure his
good friends. On the second floor Of
this hotel can he seen a most elaborate
set OF bathrooms. The horse can be
given a hot. cold, shower, hay-seed, foot,
or in fact any kind Of bath that IL
known.-New York World.

must be made in larger quantities and
groceries saved corn, oats and grass
must be provided for the horses. COWS

JAPANESE ~DAPTABILITY

1t is said, says the San Francisco
Bulletin, that a Japanese mechanic
can measure distances with his eye.
He car reduce wood and iron to
squares and levels in that way. He
will cut a board or a stick a given
number Of feet, using his eye for
determining the length and the
breadth. Every japanese boy who
is fairly we'll educated, draws with
just about as much facility as he
writes. He figures everything which
he wants to illustrate. Having occa-
sion once to ask a japanese student
something about methods OF a
fare in that country Che had been a
soldier attached to n of the great
Damios) he Immediately figured his
explanation in a neat drawing. He
could not command enough English
words to make his meaning clear,
but he could make it clear by a
sketch with his pencil. Not one
American boy in ten who has
received a faircommon school educa-
ton, could have made a free hand
drawing illustrating the use OF war
implements or implements of indus
try.

PARTED.

The silver brook will miss thee
The breeze that used to kiss thee,
And rufae with a soft caress thy curls of
sunny hair;
When the early dewdrops glisten
On the roses, they will listen
For thy step upon the garden walk, thy
laughter in the air.
The meadows gay with flowers,
The Summers leafy bowers,
Will know thy joyous smile no more; the
woodlands stand forlorn;
/ hear the soft complaining
of birds, from mirth retaining,
That greeted with their carols sweet thy
waking every morn.
Poor mother! hush thy weeping,
Above thy darling sleeping,
Nor fret with aught of earthly grief the
stiffness where he lies;
Flowers in his little fingers,
Where the rosy flush still fingers,
For the angels are his playmates on the
shores of Paradise.

There is a tree in Mexico called
the oily cocoa. It's seed is almost
entirely composed Of a fatty sub
stance which has sometimes been
used in making soap. A quantity
of this seed was recently shipped to
Europe, and a Stuttgart baker has
successfully used the oil as a snb-
stitute for lard in making bread and
cake. The seed contain IL per cent
more actual grease than ordinary
pork lard, and can be kept for

said to be a fortune awaiting the
man who will 60 down to Mexico
