the seeds of this tree were sent to
Mexico, by the Viceroy of Peru, An
tonic Mendoza, and it is said to be
the only tree that prospers on the
shore of Lake Tuxcoco.
The growth of the tree is rapid and
it matters not what class of soil the
seed is planted in, it is said the tree
will prosper and grow vigorously.
This makes it very useful to the CEN
trail table lands of Mexico, where veg
citation is scarce on account of the
alkaline soil.
The lumber of this wood is very
strong and durable, and can be made
into furniture or any other utensil
where hard and urable wood is neces-
sary.
The leaves of the tree are useful for
their medicinal properties, and when
chewed will cure any affection of the
gums or an liberated sore mouth.
Out of the fruit of the tree can be
made medicine that is said to be SUI
perior to any other for bronchial af-
fections. An extract is also made
from the fruit that is said to be bet
ter than cubebs for purging the blood
of all impurities.
The trunk and limbs of the tree ex-
ude a resinous substance that is
splendid remedy for dissolving a cat
aract of the eye, and can also be made
into salve that is very healing to all
kinds of wounds-Exchange

Mr.. William Glen ent, of Freeport, Ill. j.,

represents the large Chicago house of
Reed, Welsh & LANCE. In his early life
Mr.. Clement migrated to the breezy west
and became cowboy in Colorado. After
doing as much at cowpunching as he de-
sired, he turned his attention TO mining,
the exposure from which and his life on
the plains undermined a once strong
constitution, and rheumatism, liver AND
kidney trouble and dropsy made their
unwelcome appearance.
The Hot Springs of Arkansas were Wis
tied in The hope of relief, but he was dis
appointed, and so he took up his residence
in Limos and obtained employment as q
Drum mer for house that has long since
goue out of business. Physicians were
consulted both at home ana while on the
road with only pecuniary benefit to the
doctors. for Mr. Clement grew worse in
stead of better and constantly had to lay
up for weeks at time.
1t was then that the sufferer conceived
the idea of tr> ing Dr.. Williams Pink

A cOUNTERFEITER CAUGHT.
The Police of Syracuse make an
Important Capture.

On Monday the 18th, Harold Mar
quisee, of Utica, N. Y, was arrested
in Syracuse, N. Y, on a warrant
sworn out by the DR.. Williams Medi-
cine company, charging him with
forgery. On the 18th of December
Marquisee visited a photo-engraver in
Syracuse, saying he was the represen-
tative of the DR.. Williams Medicine
Co., and arranged for the making of
full set of plates for the direction
sheets, labels, etc., of the famous DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
News of this reached the home office,
and no time was lost in arranging for
his arrest when he should return for
the plates. He returned on the 18th
and was accordingly arrested, and is
now in Jail in Syracuse awaiting ex-
animation, which occurs on March I'd.
This arrest proves to be an import
ant one In addition to various plum
der, such as medical books, type
writer's, rugs, etc., found in Mar
quisee's trunk when arrested, the po-
lice also found counterfeit coin both
in the trunk and on his person; and

terfeiting, consisting of crucibles, bel
lows, nickel, lead, bismuth, anthony,
small blacksmith forge, charcoal
furnace, and several plaster of-paris
molds. The United States marshals
want him just as soon as the DR.. Will
Jams Medicine Co. are through with
him, and, no doubt, he will be SEN
fenced for a long period.
In selecting DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for his counterfeiting opera
tions, he showed his knowledge of the
proprietary medicine business; for
these pills are in such great demand
that they are easily sold at any drug
store in the United States. His
scheme was to work the country
druggists and sell his limitations at a
discount of from two per cent to five
per cent, explaining the reduced price
by the fact that he had picked them
up in small lots and at a discount
from dealers who were overstocked.
By working fast and making long
jumps, he would have secured many
hundreds of dollars in short time.
The proprietors of DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are most fortunate to have
caught the rogue, before he had fair
ly started, and to have thus kept
these spurious goods out of the mar
ket.

The Pepper Tree.

The pepper tree, so-called, has no
real consanguinity to the real pepper
plant, but is a member of the Ana
card family, and is known botanical
ly as 'schinus molle.' The latter
epithet is said to represent the Peru
Wan name of the plant. The Two Re
publics say that this tree originally
came from Peru, but now it is found
in all parts of Mexico, and does es-
pecially we'll on the table lands, and
is found in the drouthy sections as
well as along the canal where there is
water all the year round.
The tree grows to a height of thirty
or forty feet; the trunk has reddish
appearance, and the leaves are long,
pinnate, similar to the mesquite, but
denser; the fruit is a small globe
pea-like drupe, with a bony shell in
closing a single kernel.

Budding Potatoes.
The Rhode Island Experiment Sta.
ton reports an interesting expert
ment on budding potatoes for the
purpose of fastening their maturity
The results showed very favorably for
budding. Not only did the potatoes
from the budded seed mature earlier,
but the yield was very much larger,
showing an average increase for fine
budded seed of about forty-four bush
els an acre. The process of budding
is described as follows: The most
desirable tubers for budding are
sound and not mutilated in digging.
They may be reserved for the purpose
when digging the previous crop, and
if allowed to become greened by ex-
posture to sunlight, so much the bet
ter, or they may be selected from the
bin at any time. During stormy days
or at any convenient time during the
winter, these seed tubers can be
placed in the trays and then stacked
up anywhere in the cellar secure from
rats and frost until wanted The
tray to be filled is placed upon box
or bench, and one end elevated about
a foot, by placing box or measure
under it. Then, beginning at the low
er side, the potatoes selected are care
fully packed into the rack, stem end
down, as closely as possible, one layer
deep. Tubers cut or pierced by the
tines of a potato digger or fork
should not be used, as they are likely
to produce sickly or inferior buds.
About six or eight weeks before
planting time, the rack should be
placed in warm and light place,
where there is no danger of frost OF
damage from rats or mice, and the,
trays placed in the rack. If the tenn
perature is moderate, sixty or seven
ty-fve degrees, and fair amount of
light reaches all parts of each tray,
no further attention is necessary;
they do not require watering. After
a few days tiny white points will be
seen at the eyes of the tubers, and
few days later it will be noticed that
one and often two buds on each tuber
will have made more growth than the
others. These buds are far different
from the white, watery sprouts of po-
tatoes kept in a dark cellar. They
are thick, firm and tough. If condi-
tions are right, at the end of six
weeks they will be from half an inch
to an inch in length, and from one
fourth to three-eighths of an inch in
diameter, with many rudimentary
roots at the base waiting for the mo-
ment when contact with mother earth
shall enable them to burst forth and
go about their work of gathering
plant food.

Il have arranged a meeting with the
