where Peppermint OIL Is Raised.

More than one-half of all the oil of
peppermint, spearmint and tansy used
in the world is said to be produced and
distilled in Michigan. The center of the
industry is st. Joseph county. Pepper
mint plants weighing $4,000 tons when
dried are cultivated every year in the
state. From these the essential oils are
distilled. Early in spring the roots are
planted in burrows from two TO three
feet apart. In day good workman
will plant an acre with them. A few
weeks later the rows meet and cover the
entire ground. In September the plants
mature. They are then covered with
fragrant purple blossoms, and the time
has arrived for moving. After lying in
the sun to dry they are raked into heaps
and taken to the distilleries, of which
there are about $50 in the state.
1t is estimated that $50 pounds of dried
peppermint plants produce one pound of
oil. The yield per acre is 10 pounds of
oil. Distilled peppermint brings from
s1.25 to S. per pound in the home mar
ket. The industry was originally estab-
lished in Mitcham, England, about $50
years ago. Early in the present century
a beginning was made in this country, in
Wayne county, n. Y, and in st. Joseph,
Mich. Today nine-tenths of the entire
product of the world are made in the
United States.-New York Post.

The sire of Fullerton, when running at
Haydock park, struck hurdle, under
meath which the hare had escaped, with
such force as to fall back apparently
dead, yet he afterward won the final
course. Princess Dagmar, another Wat
erloo cup winner, in running her first
course, saw the dog against which she
was contending drop dead at her side,
The hare also died just inside covert
into which it had escaped, yet the grey
hound managed to win two more courses
"a feat which speaks more for the cour-
age of the animal than for the humanity
of her owner.
The lightning speed at which the
courses are run and the quick turns of
the hare on rough ground make severe
falls, and even broken limbs, not un-
common. Yet dog so injured will Of
ten try TO renew the chase, falling again,
yet making vain and painful efforts TO
avoid defeat. The type of courage so
exhibited, ''individual' as distinguished
from corporate" courage, is perhaps

pulse receives no aid from the associa-
tion of other animals of the same kind

THEY MET ON FIFTH AVENUE.
A Glad Embrace Followed and Gave n
Hint of Hidden Romance.


Hint of Hidden Romance.
Pedestrians who were passing st. Pat
rick's cathedral on Fifth avenue the
other day at about o'clock in the after
noon were treated to curious sight.
Coming up the avenue was handsome
woman Of about 25 She was elegantly
dressed and bore herself with manner
and n carriage which were eminently
aristocratic. She was walking slowly,
as though out for an afternoon airing,
looking carelessly at the carriages which
were passing along the avenue.
Going down town on the same block
and at the same time was man of mid
die age. He, too, was dressed faultless-
ly. He wore silk hat and overcoat Of
the latest cut. His trousers were prop
erly creased, and in his buttonhole was
a small boutonnere of lilies of the val
ley. In his hand he carried neat cane,
which he swung as he walked. He looked
contented with the world and with him.
self and as though he had not care but
to enjoy the afternoon sunshine and the
luxury of leisurely stroll. AS they ap-
preached each other, this lady and the
gentleman, they arrived Just opposite
the main entrance TO the cathedral.
Suddenly they caught sight of each
other, and an instantaneous change came.
The lady stopped short in her walk and
exclaimed, "Theo!" She dropped the
small silk umbrella she had been carry
ing, stretched forth her arms and sprang,
rather than walked, straight into the
arms of the man. He, while he did not
exclaim, acted in q manner indicating
more emotion than surprise. He dropped
his cane and folded the woman to his
breast with an ardor that showed more
than gladness at the meeting. The pair
stopped for q moment in view of the peo-
pie, who were observing them. He picked
up his cane and her umbrella, and to-
gether they both disappeared around the
corner into Fiftieth street.
Who were they? Brother and sister
united after years of separation? Their
joy at meeting seemed too warm for
that. Lovers separated in their youth
and met again after many years? Who
can tell? 1t might have been. But they
disappeared around the corner, and they
carried their secret with them. And the
still lingering pedestrians felt somehow
that they had come into contact with
something holy and walked again on their
way with glad feeling it was as diff
cult to define as it was TO tell whence
and why it came.-New York Press.

Oh, not more subtly silence strays
Amongst the winds, between the voices,
Minging alike with pcnsivc lays
And with the music that reioiccs.
Than thou art present in my days.
My silence, life returns to thcc

And then wake ever, wake for me.
Full, full is life in hidden places,
For thou art silence unto me.
Full, full Is thought In endless spaces.
Full is my life. A silent sea
Lies round all shores with long embraces.
Thou art like silence all unvexed,
Though wild words part my soul from

Thou art like silence unperplcxed,
A secret and n mystery
Between one football and the next.

Thou art inwoven with every air;
With thee the widest tempests play,
And snntches Of thee everywhere
Make littlo heavens throughout n day.

For lifo's fair outward part are rife
The silver noises: let them be.

"Riding and Hitching."

One mode of transportation among
the poor whites Of southern West Vir-
ginia is known rs 'riding and hitching."
1t is resorted to when two travellers find
themselves with only one horse and
they are going too far to ride double, !"
In "riding and hitching" one traveller
takes the horse and goes mile or more,
while the other foots it behind. The
equestrian naturally makes faster speed
than the walker. So, after he has ridden
his share, he dismounts and bitches his
steed to a tree by the roadside and
pushes on afoot. In time the other
walker comes to the hitched animal,
mounts him, rides on until he has over
taken the first rider and got some dis
tance in front, when the operation is
repeated. Thus each rides alternately
and the horse gets a. breathing SPELL

Piano Organs From London.

Piano organs are the latest form OF
musical torture that has been devised.
The piano seems to have fallen into dis.
repute in Europe. In London it is un-
fashionable TO play one of these instru-
ments, and in Berlin there is law
against playing one with the windows of
the house in which it is located open.
The piano makers of the old world have
therefore been looking for a new field to
exploit, and they hit upon the piano or
gan London makes them and is send
ing hundreds of them all over the world.
They are taking the places of hand or
gans. In New York and eastern cities
you can now hear in the streets as many
piano organs, as they are called, as You
can hand organs. They are not organs
at all, but loud toned upright pianos
that are mounted on wheels and can be
trundled about easily.
They may be heard several blocks
away. The hand piano is fast displacing
the hand organ in popular favor, but it
hasn't the variety of music of the latter.
Hand organs are made in this country,
and when any new tune comes out it can
soon be inserted in the organs roper-
tories, but the pianos have to be sent to
London for any change or repairing that
is necessary. In this respect, and in this
only, the organs have the best of it.-St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Theory About Bee stings.

It is fact not generally known that if
one holds his breath wasps, bees and
hornets can be handled with impunity.
The skin becomes stingproof and hold
ing the insect by the feet and giving her
full liberty of action you can see her
drive her weapon against the impene-
trable surface with force which lifts her
body at every stroke, but let the small
est quantity of air escape from the lungs
and the sting will penetrate at once. l
have never seen an exception to this in
25 years observation. | have taught
young ladies with very delicate hands to
astonish their friends by the perform
ance of this feat, and saw one so
severely stung as to require the services
of q physician through laughing at a
witty remark of her sister, forgetting
that laughing required breath. For a
theory in explanation | am led to be-
lieve that holding the breath partially
closes the pores Of the skin. My expert
ments in that direction have not been
exact enough to be of any scientific value,
but am satisfied that it very sensibly
affects the amount Of ihsensiblo perspira-
tion.-Science.

The After Dinner Sneaker.

The after dinner speaker must not talk
nonsense and must not talk about moth
ing. But he must seem to be original,
no matter what leisure he may have Civ
en- to get at the sources-the headwaters
of his good things-and he must be bril-
liant, even though his brilliancies should
have been carefully thought out in tho
dark. Wit is his province more than
wisdom, although dash of the wisdom
may be tolerated if it is brought wrapped
up in wit and humor, like the sword of
Harmodius among the wreaths of laurel.

er all, It is not the instrument but the

the principle that warrants the tax is

An Ingenious swindle.

in German town the other day. Aman

ersby advised that he be searched. A
thousand mark note was found on him,
which, he said, belonged to his employer.
The storekeeper, however. deducted 100
marks for the value of his window and
handed 900 marks change to the porter,
who went away swearing and protesting.

when a Rattlesnake Feels Surprise.

The pig treats the snake with disre-
spect. not to say insolence-nothing
ophidian or otherwise, can fascinate a
pig. If your back garden is infested
with rattlesnakes, you should keep pigs.
The pig dances contemptuously ON the
rattlesnake and eats him with much rel
ish, rattles and all. The last emotion of
the rattlesnake is intense astonishment,
and astonishment is natural in the cir
cumstances. A respectable and expert
enced rattlesnake, many years estab-
lshed in business, has been accustomed
to spread panic everywhere within ear
and eye shot. Everything capable of
motion has started off at the faintest
rustic of his rattles, and his view of ami
NAL life from those expressionless eyes
has invariably been a back view and
rapidly diminishing one.
After lifelong experience of this sort,
to be unceremoniously rushed upon by o
common pig, to be treated as so much
swill, to be jumped upon, to be houted and
shouted. and finally to be made q snack
of-this causes feeling of very natural
and painful surprise in the rattlesnake.
But rattlesnake is only surprised in
this way once, and he is said to improve
the pork.-Arthur Morrison in Strand
Magazine.
