THE cochlNEAL DYE.
Row the Little Insects Are Gathered and
Prepared For Use.

How the Little Insects Are Gathered and
Prepared For Use.
The history Of the cochireal insect
was for long time very obscure, and
at one time the species employed in
commerce was considered kind Of
grain. 1t was not until near the close OF
the seventeenth century that it was dis;
covered to be of insect origin. The in
sect is a native of Mexico, where it was
raised by the Mexican Indians long be-
fore the country was discovered by the
Spaniards 1t is now cultivated in some
of the West India islands and iii few
leo only that it is raised in sufficient
quantities to form an article of COM
merce. The insect is raised on the coch-
meal tree, or Indian fig or nopal, which
is species Of cactus.
The cochineal is first collected ahout
the middle Of December. The insects
are removed from the tree with knife,
the edge of which has been blunted, or
are carefully brushed off with a squir-
rel tail. This labor is performed by the
women The insects are usually killed
by the application Of heat, by baking in
ovens or by the heat Of the sun.
When the cochincal arrives i'll the
market. it is in the form Of small
grain. having convex and a concaye
side, but with very little resemblance
to the body of an insect. 1t is used for
dyeing crimson and scarlet and for
making carLline. Ccchincal alone yields
q purple colcr, which, when mixed with
solution Of tin in nitromuriatic acid,
may be changed to rcst beautiful
scarlet. The discovery is said to have
been made in this wise:
A man who was making thermome-
ter placed in his window an extract Of
cochineal made with boiling water. and
in some way vial containing nitro
muriatic acid was broken over it. This
acid changed the purple dye into most
beautiful dnrk red. and by experiments
this man soon fouAd that the tin dis
solved in the acid caused the change of
color. An ingenious dyer at Leyden,
Holland, brought the discovery to per-
lection. The secret afterwnrd became
known, and large dyeing establish
ment Was erected i'll Paris. This acct
dent occurred 500 years ago.-Provi-
dence Journal.

A HISTORIC CANNON.

as q Curbsione Fender.

Was In the Mexican War and Ia Now Used
as o Curbsione Fender.
Almost the only relic in existence Of
the battery that was established i'll this
city during the Mexican war is an cid
cannon that is at present doing duty as
q curbstone fender. At the time the bat
terry was constructed it was on the edge
of the bay and near where the corner OF
Broadway and Sansc1Ee street low is
When peace was declared, the battery
was dismantled and the material ct any
use WAS carried away. For scls,e reason
one cannon was left behind. carriage
and all. There appeared to be nothing
the matter with it, and it was even used
several times to fire Fourth of July So
lutes.
AS the years went ty the carriage was
moved away and remained lying on tho
ground for /: time. When Battery street
was cut through, it received its name
from the oil fort, ard TIE canncn was
rolled down to the edge Ct the curb as q
reminder CT the cid days.
How long it lay there is question
that nobody can answer, fer those who
might have done so are all dead. At
any rate it is known that patriotic
Grayman concluded that the cannon
should tie taken care CT. He got num-
Ter of volunteers, and when the curb
stone was put in the crowd carried it to
the corner ard poked its rauzzle Down
into a hole. 1t has remained there ever
since. Francisco Call.

rvpbo,d Fever and B.naua,,

William G. Ussery, NJ. D., of St.
Louis says that the best food for those
suffering from typhoid fever is the ba-
mana. In this disease, he explains, the
lining membrane of the small intestines
becomes intensely inflamed and engorg-
cd. Eventually it begins sloughing away
in spots, leaving we'll defined ulcers.
At these places the intestinal walls be-
come dangerously thin. A solid food, if
taken into the stomach, is likely to pro-
duce perforation of the intestines and
dire results will follow. Therefore solid
foods or foods containing large amount
of innutritious substances, as compared
with nutritious substances, are danger
Gus and are to be avoided. The banana,
although it may be classed as a solid
food, containing as it does 95 per cent
nutrition, does not possess sufficient
waste to irritate these sore spots. Nearly;
the whole an cunt taken into the stcnl.l
ach is absorbed and gives the patient
more strength than can be OBJ, aired from
other focd.-New York Tribune.

Trying Orde.ls For Presidents.

In writing of the pardoning pow
or invested in the president, Hon.
Benjamin Harrison says in The Ladies'
Home Journal: "The papers in these
murder cases are usually voluminous-
a full record or all abstract Of the evil

have been 1airly conducted and 10 new
exculpatory evidence is produced, and
the sentence docs not seem to have been
unduly severe, the president refuses to
interfere. He cannot weigh the evidence
as we'll as the judge and jury. They saw

only a writing before him. 1t happens
sometimes that the wife or mother Of

Almost every one has heard
of "Potlto" Pingree, OF De-
troit. alichigan. He conceived
the idea that a huge potato
patch near a great city shared
out and we'll titled would be a
great help to the very poor OF
these places. He was elected
Mayor of Detroit on that idea,
and successfully carried it out.
He promised other reforms but
his field was limited. The peo-
p,e of Michigan becoming in
terested in him said: Mayor
Pingree step a little niger" and
made him Governor. A few
weeks ago Governor Pnlgree
went to Lansing the State cap.

Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1897-07-24
DIR. MooRE RESIGNS.
DR.. j. W. GiYens Likely TO Return
TO Take Charge of the
Institution.

Hon. |. N. Costin has returned from
Blackfoot, where he went TO attend the
board of directors OF the asylum for
the insane. He reports that every
thing Is moving along smoothly at the
institution and that the outlook for the
future Ii bright.
DIR. Moore, the superintendent, has
rendered his resignation and the same
has been accepted. II had been the
doctors intention TO retire 10 his pri-
waite practice on October LIST, but he
determined TO send In his resignation
earlier.
II Is probable that DR.. J. w. Givens,
who preceded DIR. Moore, will return
as superintendent. Since he left he
has gone through a course OF study at
John Hopkins university, still more
thoroughly equipping himself for the
duties OF such place. He is familiar
with the Blackfooi institution and plan
ned the new building now being erect
ed. For these reasons the board feel
he would be more useful than any new
man they could secure. The doctor is
now 10 Los Angeles.
Mr.. Costin states the board has de-
termincd TO keep expenses down as low
as consistent with the comfort of the
unfortunaies who are under care of the
asylum. The superintendent salary
was reduced from $500 10 1000 year
from July lst.-Statesman.
II was general surprise to our
Blackfoot people Sunday morning to
learn Of DR.. Moore's resignation, but
Il was known to his closest friends that
such move was in contemplation and
that he was being pressed from day to
day by personal friends, whose wishes
he could not well ignore, to return TO
his practice as physician aud surgeon,
in which his skill and experience had
made him successful. DIR. Moore will
for the present locate in Blackfoot and
offer his professional services to the
public.
The probable return OF DR.. Givens
will give general satisfaction to his
friends In the state. When DIR. Civ.
ems left the institution two years age
he was counted one of the best all
around asylum superintendent in the
West, and since he has been away his
studies and work have been in lines tc
fit him all the moro for managing ant
treating the insane.
Mr.. Poynter is temporarily in charg,
OF the institution and will be until the
directors can install the successor Il
Mr.. Moore.
