Girls who learn useful things while at school

And cook the treachsrous pastries without failing
Great girls. health crowned, who to keep aspir,
The whole dsrned family from dyspectic ailing
For while black Nancy, with her boxwood head
Her jaundiced coffee and her shot proof bread
Mixes the country grub. 10 dyspepsia rules.
And that's why so many men are peey ish fools.

THE TERRA DEL. FuEGANS.

Since the earliest days of American
history there has been halo OF ro-
nance thrown over the Indians Of
TERRA del Fuego and Patagonia,
which has always made their life
story intensely fascinating Early ex-
aggerated reports peopled these lands
With dangerous races OF huge giants
quite twice the size OF ordinary human
beings, Later, and supposedly more
accurate. statements made the people
the most ignorant OF all ahorigines
Even Darwin says II believe In this
extreme part of South America man
EXISTS in \ lower state Of Improvement
than In any other part OF the world.
Although the people arc neither OF the
huge proportions described, nor lowest
In the scale OF human enlightenment,
nevertheless there Is n certain amount
of truth in these early tales, The peo-
pie OF Patagonia and OF the main island
OF TERRA del Fuego, are very tall
people The men are six feet high,
with perfect muscular system: the
women nearly Ms tall; and, dressed In
furs, both appear like giants when
compared With the average European,
The smaller tribes inhablting the
islcts are n people who are In outward
appearance the most miserable of all
men and their Implements of chase are
indeed very imperfect nut their
language Is SO extensive that mentally
the lowest OF the Cape Horn people
must I've regarded asi far above the
Australian and some OF the African
tribes, Through the indefatigable
work OF Mr. Thomas Bridges, the mis-
sionary. now deceased, have been
able to collect a vocabulary OF thirty
thousand words. The mere existence
Of this large number of words be-
speaks an intelligence far in advance
of many other aborigines. Frederick

Is \ CORNER IN IPECAC.
Brazilian Variety Very Scarce Article
at Present.

Ten or twelve years ago one could
buy all the Rio ipecac root he wanted
for Sl.s5 an ounce. Now II costs S426
and it is quite as likely to grow more
expensive as to become cheaper. The
supply has almost ceased and the
worlds stock is said to be in the
hands of few American dealers.
There is much talk, however at the
present time about the irmness of
the Carthagena or New Granada root
as an efficient substitute for the
Brazilian article. At least two points
Of. difference have been noticed be
tween the two. One is merely in APP
pearance, When cut open the Cartha-
sena root shows certain rings less
distinctly than does that from Rio.
The other distinction is more I'M
portant. The alkaioid upon which
the Brazilian ipecac depends for its
activity is known as "emetine." This
is found to only a small degree in the
Carthagcntan root. The character
istic principle of the latter is known as
"cephaline," and its action is some
what unlike that of emetine.
Commenting on the situation week
or two ago, the American Druggist ex-
pressed surprise that more study had
not been given to Cephaline by ex-
perts than it has thus far received.
Whenever new varieties of vegetable
drug are discovered it is customary to
investigate them with great particu-
larity Thus far, however, the ply
Biological chemists are unable to
speak with confidence about the active
principle of the New Granada root,
One secret of the dlminutlon in the
output Of the Rio ipecnc is the labor
Of digging the roots, The operation
involves bending over, and is said to
be exceedingly tresome. BUT this is
also true of the Carthagcna root The
real explanation, therefore, is probably
the discovery by the Brazilians that
rubber culture is Just now more
profitable than digging ipecac, New
York Tribune.

the rapidlty with which events In thai

years ago, every avenue OF entrance
into China was closed. Foreign
deyiis,' as all foreigners were called,
were vigorously excluded from her
ports and inland waterways: no repre-
sentatives OF the commerce OF the out

representatives OF foreign nations
were unrecognized and diplomats who
desired to penetrate TO the capital and

John OF Gaunts horn. The Hoch Tide
jury were sworn In by the town clerk,
after which the constable (who IL also
coroner), portreeye, bailIf and tuttl-
men were elected. Two tuttimen are
elected each year, and their duties are
quite unique, as on Hochney day they
have to visit each house In the borough
and collect a coin OF the realm from
the males and have the privilege Of
taking kiss from each female. These
tuttimen carry long poles, adorned
with choice flowers, tied with blue
streamers and surmounted with
oranges. The tuttimen are followed by
the school children, who all have
holiday on Hochney day. Each lady
who receives kiss is entitled TO an
orange. In this way, and In throwing
TO the children, about 1000 oranges are
distributed during the day.-Phila-
