The art institute OF Chicago is the
most distinguished and successful Of

The root of the soap weed, which
grows abundantly in western Kansas.
is now an important article of COM
merce. and is the chief ingredient IN a
very serviceable soap. A sharp spade
is driven down deeply by the side of
the plant, the earth is broken and the
thick, brown root secured. The top.
with its long spine, is thrown aside.
Sometimes long, sharp tool is re-
quired to reach deep into the ground,
in order to secure a greater part of the
root. Like the prairie dog, 1T goes
down TO water. The root has been
known to extend as far as twenty feet
into the soil, but only from two to
three feet of the upper portion, which
is about two inches thick. Is worth
digging for.
The roots are first washed, then cut
up and boiled out in big vat, wherc
other ingredients are also placed
When this is dried out to such a de-
gree that it will solidify, it is nodded
into semi-transparent cakes that slip
around in the hands delightfully."- while
being used.
One of the most wonderful things
about this weed that while growing
in region where the soil is white
with the chemical, none of il is found
in the root Many Of the poorer set
tiers who occupy ''dug-ours' find the
root in its natural state panacea for
many ills They also cut It into con-
venient pieces and use it as cake of
toilet soap.

cific railroad. They say that Hun
tington was determined TO have a man
who would not be too busy looking
for his own interests.
Sianford's ill-health and large in
terests prevented him from doing any
thing flr California during his second
term, and Pclton paid small attention
TO the request of constituents. Hunt
ington, it is understood, wanted to see
q man in Stanford's place who would
not fight the big corporations through
a desire 10 make them ''pungle'' money
or through ambition TO make political
capital as an anti-monopolist. -.
Several OF the leading republicans
mentioned fulfilled these conditions,
but each had such bitter enemies that
Markham feared If he appointed any
one of them the republican party
would have a Misunderstanding faction
fight on its hands so he turned to
Perkins as dark horse. The governor
declares that his chief reason for the
appointment was that he considered
Perkins the best man FOR uniting the
party and securing a republican cleo
ton to the senate when the next legis-
lature meets.

Chinese were ..a.as aflilayits Of authenti-

men would dispose OF them after reaching

these papers, which, when endorsed by the
United States consul AT the port OF de
barkaton, entities the holder TO re-enter
this country. Acting Secretary Hamlin
thinks the abuse should be stopped, and
has addressed To the collector at Boston
the following letter on the subject under
date of April 10 last:
The United States consul al Hong Kong has
transmitted 20 the department of state am
dayts submitted To him for authorization
and which appeared to have been issued at
your port Sept. 3, lss2, and Feb. 4, ISIS, over
the signature of Deputy Collector j. L. Swift,
Lee Sing and Yee Mon Zip, respectively,
alleged to be Chinese persons residing In Bos-
ton. who left the United States with the in
tention of returning thereto.
The consul declined TO endorse said docu-
ments for the reason that II was evident that
the persons presenting the same had never
been in the United States, as shown by their
inability to answer any questions relating To
this country, notwithstanding that the affi-
davits stated that they had resided here for a
number of years. II is evident from the state
ments made tuat the persons presenting the
affidavits To the consul were not those TO whoIH
they were ISSUED at Boston.
In view of the misuse OF papers thus pre-
pared in the United states, the department is
Of the opinion that il is not advisable for col
lectors OF customs their deputies To certify
the same, and you are requested To give the
necessary instructions TO discontinue the prac-
tice at your port.
