WITCH HAZEL.
Made Altogether From the Bark o.
Common American Shrub.


Made Altogether From the Bark of
q Common American Shrub.
The manager of the drug store took up
a bottle of distilled witch hazel and
pointed at the picture of lot of naked
South American Indians engaged in
bringing to the distillery huge bundles of
twigs From this picture the natural in
ference was that this was the way in
which the shrub from which the witch
hazel or hamamelis of commerce is ex-
tracted was brought to the distilleries in
some wild and hardly habitable region.
"That picture" he remarked, lis one
of the pretty little fctions of trade that
have created decided impression 1t
has, have no doubt, brought to the con
Germ shrewd enough to adopt it many
thousands of dollars in profit. But ii
was all a fake as we call such things
nowadays. As a matter of fact, the
great bulk of all the witch hazel distilled
Is made in factories along the line of
the Shore Line division of the New York
and New Haven road. The bark from
which it is distilled is all harvested in
the New England states, near where the
distilleries are located. The sayages
that bring the bark to the factories bring
it in farm wagons. The nearest they
come to being untutored savages is when
they are at their homes engaged either as
country farmers or charcoal burners.
There has always seemed to be a
great mystery about this popular astrin-
gent that is used in about every home in
the country. Few know or stop to think
that it is distilled from the bark of one
of the most common of our wild shrubs.
Now that the talk of trust to control
the manufacture of the extract has reach
ed the papers, the facts as to witch hazel
are appearing. i have had several of my
customers ask me if it is true that witch
hazel is not an imported remedy, but
merely a Yankee connection. 1t is a
fact that it is entirely Yankee industry,
and all the bark from which the distilla-
ton is made is gathered in Massachu,
sets, Rhode Island and Connecticut. The
latter state is the chief source Of the sup
ply. Madison, Guilford, Clinton, West
brook and the contiguous Connecticut
shore villages have a lot of families that
are mainly supported by their harvestings
of witch hazel 1t is there that the mosi
popular of the proprietary brands CT the
astringent is all made, herb gathering
Indian labels and all"-New York INES

THE LOOM OF DREAMs.

hroider my life into the frame;
broider with dreams my tapestry
Here In little lonely room
am master Of earth and sea.
And the planets come TO me.
/ broider my life into the frame;
broider my love thread upon thread.
The world goes by with its glory and shamss
Crowns are bartered, and blood Is shed;
I sit and broider by dreams instead.
And the only world is the world Of my dreams,
And my weaving the only happiness.
For what Is the world but what 1t seems,
And who knows but that God, beyond our guess
Sits weaving words out Of lonelinessi

THE eEeeARs OF MEXICO.
They Abound All Over the Countr
and Are Well Treated.

They Abound All Over the Country
and Are Well Treated.
All over the country beggars abound,
for the Mexican people are the most
carelessly good natured and charitable
on earth. They seemingly never refuse,
and / have seen smartly dressed young
men on passing beggar turn back re-
pentantly and hand him money. Every
body gives; hence unlimited beggary.
Some time ago in Pueblo a surgeon
cured the deformity of beggar cripple,
and as his usefulness as a money getter
was over his relatives sued the surgeon,
alleging that he had deprived them of
their means of support. 1t appeared on
trial that the lame man had been good
for $3.50 a day on the average" The
Judge threw the plaintiffs out of court
after listening to their curious exposition
of callousness and greed.
A friend of mine here, a genuine Span
ish count and a most charitable man,
fills his pockets with pennies every morn
ing before leaving his house, and to ey-
cry one who asks aims he gives cent.
He has also many pensioners, and he
even economies in legitimate personal
expenses to help deserving people, wild
ows and orphans.
In the suburban towns every comfOrta-
bly, off family has its train Of beggars
who are given money or food.
Your beggars fairly adopt you and
ask affectionately on meeting you for
the health OF every member of your
family.
One poor chap who hobbies round on
crutches and wears on chilly mornings
an old red blanket greets me as hls
'patron'' and bestows blessings on me
to last a month for every aims.
The intimate relations Of beggars and
their patrons are amusing. Wealthy men
and handsomely dressed women stop IN
the streets for a bit Of talk with some
favored beggar and never seem ashamed
to show a kindly interest in the humble
friends of the public thoroughfares.
Beggars come to ones dining room
windows, look in interestedly and go
away satisfied with a small coin or bit
of bread. They ask aims in the name OF
God, or s'por Dios;" hence the odd Span
ish word "pordioseros," or for God 8
sakers," applied to beggars. 1t is part
of the strangely humane life of these
southern lands A Mexican firmly be-
Iieves that everybody has right to live
and to help in time of need. There Is
immense charity and mostly quite unor-
ganized, although there are asylums, but
for the most part the beggars are out
and about and not housed up.-Boston

KILLS THE TREES.
"Box Elder Bug" Some More Than
Nuisance,

Waterloo, Sept. 25.-It is becoming
apparent that the red bug which has re-
Gently become 80 prevalent and which
lis generally known as the "boX-elder
bug" is something more than nuis-
ance and is actually dangerous men
ace not only to trees of. the variety
which seems to be their favorite prey,
but also to some varieties of fruit az
we'll. Entomolosists warn us that the
worst effects of the bugs activity nave
not yet been manifested, but may be
expected in coming seasons il some
thing Is not done to check the rapid IN
crease in their numbers. Attorney III.
W. Hanson, who had noted the death
of the box elder trees near his residence
with no other apparent cause than the
fact that they were covered with bugs,
wrote to Prof. II. q. Wickham, of the
State University, who is an authority
on chronological subjects. asking him
how the bug pest should be combated
in order to prevent further destruction.
The answer received was as follows:
Dear Mr.. Hanson: Your letter has
come to hand this morning. The insect
you send is d specimen of the boN-elder
bug, leptocoris trivittatus, sometimes
called the Indian bug. 1t breeds chiefly
ON box-elder trees. tho it sometimes in
fects other plants and besides damaging
the trees by exnausting the sap, occas-
,ionally attacks fruits especially ber-
ries. The best means of combating 1t
lis to spray or drench 1t with kerosene
E(either pure or in a strong emulsion
with soap suds. not OF less strength
than rs per cent Kerosene to IS per cent
suds) while congregated in lunches or
clusters on the trunks and sidewalks.
OF course no strong kerosene mixture
should be applied to leaves.
They do no damage in houses aside
from the discomfort and trouble caused
by their presence. They have sucking
mouth parts and are unable to chew"
4 The work of exterminating the bugs
ought not to be left until next season,
but should begin now. They are still
breeding and the eggs now laid will
mean multiplied myriads of bugs next
summer. They are ALEC still sucking
the life giving sap from the trees, and
will leave them in poor condition to
Withstand the severeties of winter. II
10 concerted effort were made wherever
the bugs appear. to treat them TO the
sort Of dose recommended by Professor
Wickham. 1t Is probable that in a few
seasons they might be practically ex-
terminated.

And the sculptured forms Of the mon in arms
And their faces ere they died.

Can the marble breast be made to bleed
And the marble lips to moan2
Can the marble brow be fevered .,
