in the field at my home in Morgan county,
Ca, pulled off my shoes to give my feet
rest. Unfortunately, I walked into clump
of poison oak, and in few days my feet
were in a terrible condition, and l could not
put on shoe because Of the soreness and
swelling. / was treated as poison oak cases
usually are, and everything was healed up.
About the same time the following sprlng,
1872, my feet became sore again, as at hrst,
and every succeeding spring for FIVE years
brought back the same condition OF the dis
ease, only each time it became more ais
tressing, because | began to think it was
lifetime trouble. Finally, was induced to

The China Tree.

The well.known pride of the China
tree, both for shade and ornament,
especially the umbrella shaped variety
is scarcely appreciated as its merits
demand. There are. however, some
qualities claimed for the leaves and
berries not generally known, and to
which we would call the attention of
our readers. 1t is a well.known fact
that no insects or worms infest its foil.
age or attacks the wood, hence it is
more than probable that its virtues as
an insect repellant are not overesti.
mated. The leaves, if picked in al
ternate layers with corn in the shuck,
will prevent the ravages of weevil,
and it is more than probable would
have the same effect with peas, beans
and grain. Used in like manner with
clothing, blankets and other wooden
goods, it is certain repellant against
moths. Meat packed with either
leaves or berries will not be attacked
by worms. A decoction of the leaves
or berries used to water plants will
protect them from the cutworm, etc.
II these claims for the foliage and
fruit can be substantiated, we know
of no reason why they could not be
used as an insecticide for all purposes
where one is required, and with every
prospect of success. 1t is at least
worthy of an extended trial.

PROBABLE DEAD MAN.
Upon Search Proves to be a Dead
Horse.

This morning Mr.. j. w. Cochran,
who lives in the neighborhood of
China Springs, while on his way to
town and when in the locality of the
cedar brakes, one mile and half from
Waco, saw a negro woman accost an
old gentleman in buggy who was
driving in an opposite direction, and
state that she had discovered some
mans clothing laying on the road
side not far distant. Mr.. Cochran
says he did not stop to make an in
vestigation Of the matter but as he
drove along the road he smelled a
horrible stencil which originated from
the decomposition OF some animal.
Upon arriving in the city Mr.. Coch-
ran informed Constable Jenkins and
Deputy Sheriff Ford of what he had
heard and both officers Immediately
repaired to the scene. After Il thorough
search they discovered near the road
side an old dead horse: and near
by lay an old torn shirt. Further
search sevealed nothing new to the
officers and they both being satisfied
that this was the cause of the alarm
retraced their way back to town.

An Institution that Nnriohes.

To those that have never given
thought to the subject, 1t would inter-
est them to drive down by the Waco
Wooden Mills and stop a little while
and take look at that institution.
The best time is about six. just when
the mills are turning out for the night.
1t is q bit of world In itself. Hun
dreds Of operatives come passing out
of the doors like a swarm Of bees,
boys, girls, women and some men,
all with dinner. baskets in hand and
scattering to all points of the compass
in groups or singly as they seek their
homes make pretty and impressive
sight. The operatives do not earn
much but they earn their little stead
lily and surely and the pay roll of the
mill brings needed food and clothing
and fuel into hundreds of homes and
feeds many al infant that otherwise
would 60 hungry. The mill hands
are not clothed in purple or fine linen
but 1t is school of industry for boys,
better than the street, and it is not
bad school of industry, patience and
self-reliance for girls. Good men and
women graduate from factories and
mills, and you will notice as the
groups file past you there are a good
many pretty faces under those sun
bonnets and there are good pure
hearts beating under those bingham
dresses.
But consider a moment what that
great hive of industry means to Waco.
The thousands the mills pay out
monthly are all spent at home. 1t
doesn't como in rivers but rs little
trickling rills from unvarying springs.
Not n business in the city but feels
the genial influence. The grocery
man, the wood hauler, the market
gardener, the barber, the news vender,
the EVENING NEWS and even those
great marts of dry goods trade San
ger Bros, Leasing, Solomon & Rosen-
thai, Goldstein e. Nigel and Levine
Bros. would regret the loss of the
hard earned dollars which come from
the wooden mills operatives by Titles
week after week, rain or shine, winter
or summer. Where do those thous-
ands come from? Nearly ALL from
abroad. From Arkansas, from Louis
lana, from Kansas, from New Mexico,
from remote Texas and perhaps other
states. In this consists the political
economy of the factory and the mill.
Texas wool manufactured by Waco
hands Is sold away from home and
foreign money comes to Waco through
that source. In nearly every other
thing there is cons tant drain of
raw material to pay for manufactured
goods, drain that impoverishes.
The wooden mills draws other peo-
pies money into Waco and that is
what enriches. Suppose there were
fifty factories in Waco. Every city.
town, or country that turns raw ma
terial into manufactured goods gets
rich, and every town that sells raw
material and buys manufactured
goods remains poor. Ride down tc
the mills some evening, light your
cigar, lean back in your carriage and
look at the evening turn out and give
the institution bit of study.
