It is said that "All Sorts and Condi'

The vestry of Christ church in Phil

TAVA produces practically all the
quinine in use, or, to be more ac-
curate, practically all the cinchona
bark from which the worlds supply of
quinine is made. Ninety per cent. OF
the yield is shipped to Amsterdam,
now the cinchona market of the world,
the remainder being converted into
quinine in the Java quinine factory at
Bandoeng.
The secret of the manufacture Of
this drug has been most jealousy
guarded, and it is only of recent years
success has attended the efforts of
those who ventured to make a stand
against the combination of quinine
factories in Europe. The trust had
been particularly hard on the plant
ers, continually depressing the price
Of the bark and keeping the price of
the manufactured article high; max
ing it necessary for the planter either
to go out of business or to attempt to
combat his taskmaster. He followed
the latter course.
The first efforts were not success
ful, the quality OF the qulnlne being
inferior and resulting in the Java ar
ticle getting a bad name. But now
the factory is well on its feet, and the
methods in use in the laboratories in
Java are thoroughly scientific and up
to date. Mr.. F. L. Seely, secretary and
treasurer of the Paris Medicine COM
pany at st. Louis, one of the largest
users of quinine in the world, reports
as the result of personal investiga-
tions in Java the conviction that the
factory at Bandoeng produces quinine
above the standard. Which is of con-
siderable interest to the world at
large, as the Java product is sold much
lower than the common makes. Mr..
Seely has given the world the benefit

It may be of interest to know how
Java has become the home of cinchona,
or Peruvian bark, as it is more IA
miliarly styled. Both Peru and Java
are few degrees south of the equator,
but wide stretch of ocean lies be-
tween them. About the middle OF the
last century the Dutch government,
which has had complete control Of
affairs in Java since 1880, decided it
would experiment with the cultivation
Of cinchona in the colonies. A native
named Husskarl was sent to Peru to
procure plants and seeds. He visited
both Peru and Bolivia, spending two
years in the two countries, undergoing
hardships in the way of fever and im-
prisonment. At last, with few seeds
and plants, he embarked for home,
getting away in 1utch warship sent
purposely to convey him and his prize

HOG FINDS LOST GOLF BALLS.
s..c,ous Canine Companion OF .
Grcenskeeper Pays His
Owner Well.

Dogs Of the Scotch collie variety
are mighty useful on farm, Dut IL
is doubtful if collie or any otner
kind of a dog was ever before IN Ibis
country put to the use that Greens
keepa Ronk, of the Broome County
County club, puts his big collie JACK
every night, says the New York Sun.
Jack served his apprenticeship on
farm near here, and was regarded as
! one of the best sheep and COW dogs
in tie county. When Ronk took
charge of the golf links at the Coun-
try club he made it known in the
district round about that he wanted
a dog that was capable of learning
some new tricks. It wasn't very long
before the fame of Jack reached the
Country club, and after little ne
gotiation the collie became the prop
erty of the greenskeeper. Members
of the club wondered what Ronk
wanted of such fine animal, but
to all their queries on the subject
Ronk was silent.
In addition to taking care OF the
grounds Ronk does a little business
on the side, with club members, IN
golf clubs and balls. Golf balls are
expensive. A good one costs 35 cents
1t is stiff price, considering that
one is apt tollose a half dozen balls
in day. Every week between two
and six dozen balls are lost on the
grounds here, and once given up as
1,on
property of the first person who runs
across it. It was only a week after
Ronk got his new collie that the
greenskeeper announced that he had
for sale aonumber of secondhand
balls, many of them as good as new.
He asked only ten cents apiece for
them. The members gobbled them
up in short order, and there has been
steady demand for Ronk's second
hand balls ever since. The green's
keeper kept the secret of the source
of his supply for some time, but it
finally got out that he had trained
the collie to go out on the course
at dusk each night after everybody
had quit playing golf for the day
and search FOR lost balls.
HE learned the trick mighty
quick" said Ronk the other day, ''and
now l don't even have to go out
with him. He starts out as soon
as I give him permission, and if I
dent call him off he'd keep it up
all night. He's enthusiastic over
searching for balls, and I never saw
anything like him for finding them.
AS soon as he finds a ball he brings
it in to me and starts out again.
Only once has he brought two balls
in at the same time. guess he must
have found them lying beside one
another, else he'd never have done
it. Maybe that dog wasn't a good
investment! Well, when I tell you
That he found So balls for me in two
nights, and that after spending ten
cents worth of paint on them ]
sold them for ten cents apiece, you'll
see that he wasn't such bad specu-
lation after all. I got the notion Of
training dog to this work by, an
article saw in an English sporting
PAPER about a dog owned by green's
Keeper in Scotland, that did the same
work. I paid price for Jack, but

cost me will not buy him back again
