Weaver Getz & Co., one of the largest
and most important in the coal busi-
ness in Chicago, has turned all of its
assets, including its mines and coal
yards, over to ID. V. Purington, of the
Purington-Kimball Brick company, for
the benefit OF its creditors. Mr.. Weaver
estimates the liabilities at about $780,
900, and assets at about S750,000. Slow
collections and u close money market
are the causes assigned for the failure.

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 III Michigan. The center Of the
industry is st. Joseph county. Pepper
mint plants weighing 1900 tons when
dried are cultivated every year N 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 a day a 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 80 in the state.
1t is estimated that $50 poundsiof dried
peppermint plants produce n pound of
oil. The yield per acre is Is pounds of
oil. Distilled peppermint brings from
f1.25 to s. per pound in the home mar.
ket. The industry was originally estab-
ished in Mitcham, England, about $50
years ago. Early in the present century
. 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.

Early Ideas About Hair.


All the ancient philosophers held GU
rious ideas respecting the growth,
functions. structure, etc, of the hair,
and had many superstitions founded
on these old opinions. The early
writer's on the makeup of the human
body almost invariably refer to the
hair as being an excrement fed on sub
stances similar to itself. They sup
posed that it generated in the fuligi-
nous parts of the blood: was exhaled
by the heat of the body, becoming firm
and fbrous upon being exposed to the
air, just as the fluid of the spider web
does. Ia these days every idea respect
ing the growth and character of hair
is changed. 1t is now agreed that
every hair properly and truly lives and
receives its nutriment from the body.
True, they take upon themselves the
nature of parasitic plants: they grow
as vegetation droes, yet each has, as it
were, distinct life and economy.
That they derive their existence from
the juices of the body there is nc
doubt, but that food is not taken from
the nutritious juices, for we know that
hair will thrive even though the body
starve or be wasted by disease, or even
after the animal life has ceased to OK.

Without Success.
Those who believe that the matrimo-
NAL advertisement originated with the
modern Sunday newspaper should con-
suit the Ipswich Journal of August 81,
1902, which contains this advertise
ment:
ITO the angelic fair of the true Eng
fish breed, worthy notice. Sir John
Dinely, of Windsor castle, recon-
mends himself and his ample fortune
to any angelic beauty of good breed,
fit to become and willing to be the
mother of a noble heir, and keep up
the name of an ancient family en-
nobled by deed of arms and ancestral
renown. Ladies at a certain period of
life need not apply. Fortune favors
the bold. Such ladies as this adver-
tisement may induce to apply or send
their agents (but no servants or
matrons) may direct to me at the
castle, Windsor. Happiness and pleas
ure are agreeable objects, and should
be regarded as well as honor The
lady who shall thus become my wife
will be n baroness and rank according
ly as Lady Dinely of Windsor. Good
will and favor to all ladies of Great
Britain. Pull no caps on his account,
but favor him with your smiles. and
paans of pleasure await your steps"
Notwithstanding this tempting offer
to the fair sex Sir John Dinely died
bachelor in 1905, an inmate of the poor
knights quarters in Windsor castle.

A TEXAS GATEWAY.
Wonderful Ingenuity OF tho Tiny Ants Il

Wonderful Ingenuity OF the Tiny Ants II
the Lone Star state.
The author of Tenants of an Old
Farm" tells Of one of the remarkable
habits of the cutting-ants in Texas, as
observed by him. 1t relates to the
opening and shutting of the gates
which communicate with the interior
of the mound nests, which he found
were opened and closed before and
after every exit the ants make. These
gates are simply little heaps of dry
leaves, twigs and other refuse, which
are seen scattered here and there over
the mound as one approaches it in day
time.
When I first saw them / was COM
pletely deceived, and thought them
nothing more than accidental accumu-
lations. l found out, however, that
these piles were raised above the sur
face opening of the galleries that pen
etrated the mound and filed the
mouths to the depth sometimes of an
inch and half.
The leaves and chips were inter
mingled with pellets of soil, and occa-
sionally below them the galleries were
quite sealed with pellets The gal
leries frequently slant inward from
the gate. and at as great an angle as
forty-five degrees. Sometimes they de-
feet short distance from the top.
These comformations allow more read
ilv the process of closing. as they give
q purchase TO the material used.
The doors are opened about dusk.
First appear the minins, the very
small forms, creeping out of minute
holes. which they have doubtless made
by working inside and carrying grains
OF sand away from the heap. Present
II larger forms follow, carrying away
bits of refuse, which they drop
couple of inches, more or less, from the
gate.
This is a slow process. and ap-
parently nothing is accomplished for a
long time. But evidently the whole
mass of plugging IS thus gradually
loosened. Then comes the final burst,
with soldiers. ma ors and minors in the
lead. who rush out. bearing before
them the rubbish which flies here and
there. and IN a few moments is cleared
away from the gallery and spread
around the margin of the gate.
These chips are doubtless gathered
together for this purpose and are
among the treasured properties OF .he
ants. being kept near by for such
service easily identified many pieces

for contracting another marriage.

great. The workers proceed by ad-
