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 $1,000 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 Il day Il good workman
will plant an acre with them. 4 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 distillerics, of which
there are about 100 III the state
1t is estimated that $50 pounds of dried
peppermint plants produce one pound of
oil. The Weld per acre is Is pounds of
oil. Distilled peppermint brings from
$l.25 to 81 per pound i'll 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, III
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.

Using a New Word.

Children are quick to learn new words
and store them up in their memory to be
used on thu first occasion that presents
itself.
A small Buffalo boy rang his mothers
doorbell one day recently and brought
his devoted parent to the rescue iii all
haste, only to tell her that his older
brother had told a lie,'' as he expressed
it. "He said Mary broke his top when
he broke it hisself, and so he told lie"
the cherub explained, and then FASTENED
back to his play perfectly satisfied now
that he had had an opportunity to use
the word that was Il new addition to his
vocabulary Buffalo News.

One mode of transportation among
the poor whites of southern West Viz
ginia is known as riding and hitching"
To 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 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
lance in front, when the operation is
repeated. Thus each rides alternately
and the horse gets breathing SPELL

The week ends in financial circles
with decidedly better feeling. There
were several heavy crashes and mum.
Der of banks pdc up their shutters.
Undou btedly in the next few weeks
many more failures will be announced
in view of the enormous liquidation
which has been in progress during the
favor Of steady improvement along
narrow lines and OF the most conserva-
tive nature.
Nothing can show more clearly the
extent of the contraction in values
which has been in progress than an in
spection Of the comparative values OF
leading stocks at present and FIVE
months ago. Conservative judges esti-
mate the shrinkage as amounting to
not less than $500, 600. 900. AS Ameri-
can securities are measured largely
against the values OF European money
or foreign balances, the contract ton in
their values is really loss to America
of just the amount of the shrinkage,
yet it was inevitable and the only way
down to hard pan. 1t was merely a
question of bidding for money and
credit by offering bargains.
The result of all such contrac tions and
suspensions is general clearing up in
which those which remain strong and
stand the pressure come out stronger
than ever and with increased earning
capacity owing to the withdrawal of
competition. So the situation seems to
present many encouraging features.
The Treasury is now gaining steadily,
and feeling OF confidence in it's ability
to hold its own in the future is growing
in all money centers. The Bank OF
England has lowered its rate of dis
count, showing that the demand for
gold there has ceased. In consequence
of this the gold export movement has
not only ceased, but several orders
were cancelled. The first of July is a
general clearing date. Over $4,000
600 of semi.annual dividends will be
declared, and with good crop prospects
America will again 60 ahead.

BETTING ON THE NIoRwaANeLgR.
A Story of the Undergraduate Days of tho
Late Professor Atiama

A Story of the Undergraduate Days of tho
Late Professor Adams-
was an undergraduate of st. Johns
college, Cambridge, when the late Pro-
fessor Adams was there as an under
graduate also. l well remember his ap-
pearance. He was rather q small man.
who walked quickly and wore faded
coat of dark green. AS had entered rs
a pensioner and he as u sizar, we did not
sit at the same table in hall or indeed
dine at the same hour. In my time tho
Fellows hall and ours was at 4 o'clock.
the STARS (who had some dishes left
from the Fellows table, at 5. Chanel
was at g. when every member of the
college was due and when some came.
Fellow commoners and pensioners saw
but little of the STARS as n rule, and
fear they were looked down upon on ac-
count of their poverty, except indeed
those few who were certain to do great
credit to tho college. The fastest and
the vainest man would have been civil
to Adams, for he was known to be q
pretty certain Senior Wrangler; besides
men bet on him and backed him as they
would q race horse. But he was SO ex-
ceedingly good, SO unusually safe, SO ut
terly and entirely the favorite that odds
were laid on him at 3, or even toll.
Men little thought indeed that he
would very shortly discover comet,
and that science all through the world
would cap" him i'll concert with the I'M
dergraduates to whom he soon became
a mighty don, though 1 believe one of
the most gentle and unassuming that
ever lived.
A couple of days after Adams had
come out Senior Wrangler, knocked in
late and had Il chat with Ballard, the
porter, before going to my rooms. 1 said,
well, Ballard. we've got the Senior
Wranglcr, but that was of course" Bal
lard looked glum. l could not under
stand it, for he was as proud of the col
lege as any of its members. 'Ah, sir"
lie said, Mr.. Adams did not behave we'll
to me-" Not we'll to you! Why. what
OH earth has he donc:" Il have lost 50
by him, sir" How" MIR. Adams is
not IL gentleman as often knocks i'll late,
but two nights before he went into the
senate house he did. and made so bold
as to say. Mr.. Adams, l hope no offense,
sir, but suppose YOU are certain to be
ncitiol iallSlcr, because L nave lalu
go on ii already and l have chance of
laying another 60 Now you'd hardly
believe it, sir, but Mr.. Adams told me
there was no certainty at all about it,
and that he might come out second or
third when all the while he must have
known he was dead certain"
We'll" | said, II don't know what he
knew. but all the university knew. But
how did you lose Your CO. by not put
ting it on. sir, which l should have done
if he hadn't knocked in late. / kept the
go on, however, and won what came of
that So really Mr.. Ballard had not
very much to complain of.-London
Queen.
