THE CASTOR OIL PLANT.
In India 1t Serves Many Purposes, But No
Medicine Is Made from 1t.

The castor oil plant, from the brown
seeds of which this useful oil is ex-
tracted, is among the tropical plants
that grow readily here during the sum-
mer, and its deep metallic green, muchly
a.nated leaves make it an ornamental
plant.
The writer, in walking by the er-
senal in Central park with a friend who
has spent several years in India, was
surprised to hear what really useful
plant it Is.
The plant" said friend, "and
many Of it's virtues had been known in
India for centuries. but it is fact.
nevertheless that the first of this Oil
was exported to Europe from the West
Indies near the end of the eighteenth
century. In India the oil is much used
as an illuminant If the oil has been
cold drawn and has been carefully
and properly separated, there is none
better. Another thing in its favor is
that. owing to its slow combustion, a
saving of one-quarter to one-half is
made by using it, as compared with
other oils. 1t makes an excellent lubri-
cant, and is much used In the dressing
of tanned hides and skins. The ma
tives use it largely for preserving their
water buckets, and without 1t the
'beeste wallah. or water-carrier, would
have to renew his leather bag or bucket
in which he carries the water around
much oftener than he does now.
THE 'syce,' or groom, uses it to keep
| the 'sahib's' harness in good order, and
| valuable attribute of the oil is, es-
pecially in such climate as India, that
| it repels rats and vermin. In Assam
the plant is widely cultivated as a food
for the silk worm. The stalks, which
give an excellent pulp, are used for
thatching purposes. The oilcale is
largely consumed as fuel, and is also
used as a manure. In Jeypore, the pal
ace, public offices and streets are light
ed with gas made from a cheap variety
of castor oil, grown for the purpose.
The natives use the leaves as fodder for
their cattle. declaring that it increases
the yield of milk. One thing they have
not succeeded yet in doing in India
and that is to produce a marketable
medicinal oil This is chiefly made in
France, Belgium and England, from
the exported seeds, Bombay doing a
large export trade in this industry."-

Painstaking Care Is Necessary to Remove
Seemingly Trifing Troubles.
There are many little skin troubles
which are both persistent and trouble
some, and vex ones very soul by ap-
pearing on the face. A greasy skin
may arise from various causes, but gen.
orally from lack Of cleanliness or de-
bility of the skin. Only an astringent
has any effect upon it, and very SIM
pie, entirely harmless one may be made
from one pint Of rosewater, half pint
of vinegar and a few drops of essence
| Of rose. This lotion may be applied
| with piece Of soft linen or very fine
sponge.
Blackheads are very difficult to get
rid of, and are caused by the clogging
of the pores Of the skin by dust or for
eign matter. Alcohol, ninety per cent,
| applied by the means of q piece Of
chamois skin, will give tc1e to the skin
and remove unsupported dirt and dust,
at the same time stimulating the small
glands and removing, by constant use,
| the blackheads.
| Tan and freckles may be removed by
| Cle use OF tne following lOIlOu. 4"o
drachms of powered sal ammoniac,
four fluid drachms of eau de cologne,
one quart of distilled water. Lemon
| juice and borax are both very effica-
cious, and are home remedies.
! Many skins will not stand constant
washing, but need to be cleaned after
dusty ride or walk by other means
than soap and water. Lait Virginal is
delicious preparation, and can be
made as follows: One pint of rose,
orange-fower or elder-fower water,
half an ounce of simple tincture OF
benzoin, and ten drops of tincture OF
myrrh.
After being exposed to harsh or
chilling winds, 1t is a good plan upon
retiring to rub a quantity of fresh
cream on the face, removing after five
or ten minutes, to be applied again, fol
lowed by generous putting OF rice

STARVING TO DEATH.

For the First Few Days the Suffering Is
Said to Be Intense.
For the first two days through which
a strong and healthy man is doomed to
exist upon nothing his sufferings are
perhaps more acute than in the remain
ing stages; he feels an inordinate un-
speakable craving at the stomach night
and day. The mind runs upon beef,
bread and other substances, but still,
i'll great measure, the body retains it's
strength. On the third and fourth
days, but especially on the fourth, this
incessant craving gives place to sink
ing and weakness of the stomach, ac-
conpanied by nausea. The unfortunate
sufferer still desires food, but with a
loss of strength he loses that eager
craving which he felt in the earlier
stages. Should he chance to get NOR
sci of food he swallows it with a woltish
avditv, but five minutes afterward his
sufferings are more intense than ever.

FOR CARRYING DIRT.
A Curious Tramway That Is Useful in

A Curious Tramway That Is Useful in
Excavating Streets.
When excavations are made IN
streets, to permit gas or water mains,
electric conduits or sewers to be laid,
the earth which is removed is usually
thrown out at one side, occupying
about as much space as the trench it.
self, perhaps more. In narrow streets
this double encroachment Is a serious
matter. For several years, therefore,
some contractors have employed a ma
chine which carries the dirt along to
the finished portion of the work, and
then dumps it into the trench again.
This renders unnecessary any heaping
up of the stuff along the route, except
at the very beginning and end. Re-
cent improvements in this system Of
operations bring 1t into fresh notice
just now, but the essential principles
are unchanged.
At intervals Of from sixteen to thir-
ty-two feet along the line stout A
shaped wooden trestles twenty feet
high are erected, and these support, in
their uppermOst angles, succession of
steel | beams. Thus is constituted a
railway by means of which great buck
cts are conveyed from one point to an
other, very much as they are in a cable
tramway. The moving receptacles hang
from trolleys, or rolling frames, whose
wheels ride on the lower flange of the
beam. One rope, operated at a dis
tance by a steam engine and drum.

the machine, and reaching forward are
a pair of pointed fingers or claws that

this should match the frill in color.

A notable instance of the whitening

kind of civilization with which they
come in contact is in the case of the
Rogue river Indians of Oregon. In

their numbers have gradually decreased
