Observation-Disclosures

When Farmer John Phillips got tan
Eled up in thrashng machine, he left
a widow behind him, and he hadn't
been buried four weeks when people
began to wonder If she wouldn't get
married again as soon as decency per-
mitted. OF course most of them CON
cludcd that she would, and they add
ed another conclusion to it-viz, that
they pitied her second husband. AS n
wife the woman had always seemed
to feel Il bit above other farmers wives,
and as widow it was their duty to
gossip and make things unpleasant for
her.
For Il time the second husband was
an unknown quantity, but at length
farmhouse gossip pitched upon Deacon
Spooner. He was well to do and n
widower, and 1t had long been suspect
ed that he had his eye out for n second
wife. Gossip was wrong, however.
In the dim past Mrs. Phillips had had
occasion to give the deacon blowing
up over sale of a load of hay, and, as
she did II In plain English and used
lots of exclamation points, he had new
er found 1t in his heart to forgive her.

Every word he uttered found its
way to the widow in due time, as n
matter of course, but she refused to
make any criticisms in reply. In time
the deacon ealmed down, and the gos-
sip died out, but after events proved
that the widow was only hiding her
time.
One summer day, almost year after
her bereavement, Deacon Spooner
started for the village in his old rocka.

GATHERING OPIUM.
How the Petals and Juice OF the
Poppy Plant Are Procured.

1t is a sort of garden cultivation, the
poppy plants being grown in little
squares or beds intersected by tiny wa
ter channels for irrigation wherever
this is possible. The growth of the
plants is carefully tended, and Mt
length the time comes when they burst
out into flower, and the fields look like
a sheet of silver rs the white petals of
the flowers glisten In the morning dew.
These beautiful petals are the first
produce of the crop, for the women and
children of the cultivators' families
come forth and pick them of one by
one and carefully dry them, SO. that
they may serve afterward as the cover
ing Of the manufactured cakes of
opium. Then the peoples, with their
bare capsule heads, remain standing in
the open field until it Is considered that
they are ripe for lancing. The cult
yators then come forth in the evening,
and, with an implement not unlike the
knives of cupping instrument, they
scarlfy the capsule on its sides with
deep incisions, so that the Juice may
exude.
In the early morning the cultIyators
reappear with seraping knife and
their earthenware pots, and they
scrape off the cxuded juice and collect
it In their pots. And this Is crude
opium.-Blackwood Magazine.

Grasse, even in the opinion Of sober
historians, would appear to be one of
those towns which are predestlned to
commercial prosperity, and, what Is
more, Its inhabitants through the ages
of It's existence have shown themselves
capable of benefting by those gifts
with which nature has been so prodl-
gal Omitting allusion to more remote
periods, we have the authority of the
historian Bouche for the statement
that in 1880 all European countries
provided themselves with soaps manu-
featured at Grasse. while the town
was also famous for its oils. In 1920.
as Masa informs us, its odorous es-
sences, fine oils, exquisite fruits and
renowned feathers were source of
great prosperity.
1t may interest many to know that,
according to the testimony of the great
est historical authority upon Grasse
now living, nothing precise has as yet
been discovered in the municipal ar
chives relating to the origin Of the per

1t should be made clear that proper
vaccination Is the only known method
of specific value In comforting immuni-
ty from smallpox. The comparatively
short duration of this immunity should
be insisted upon, and simple, intel
liglbe description of the ordinary
course OF Il proper vaccination should
be added. 1t would be extremely use
full, In view Of the wide diffusion of
characterization literature, to make the
frank admission that in the days of

oculation with other diseases, although
extremely unlikely, was theoretically
possible, but that the modern method

stroyed even the remote possibility OF

Ancient Egyptian stones.

Stones were formed into the shapes
of beetles by the ancient Egyptians.
They regarded the beetle as an emblem
of Immortality, and hence it was the
most popular Of all forms Of ornament.
Counterfeit beetles of common stones
were commonly buried with dead per-
sons, and 1t was customary to engrave
upon them the expression of wishes
for future repose and happiness, dedi-
cations of the soul to God and various
hieroglyphs. One of the latter was a
hawk with human head. symbolizing
resurrection. Another, the vulture,
meant maternity. A goose was the
son of king.

THE GREENBAUM PLAN
Combination of 0istiIIers Which
Will Be a Strong Competitor
of the Whisky Trust.

Louisville, Ky, Aug. 19.-The Post
says: "A plan is on foot TO form a
combination of the outside distillers in
Kentucky and the outside spirit distil-
lers in Ohio, Illinois and Indiana, the
proposed consolidation being revival
of the so-called 'Greenbaum plan,
which was stopped in it's infancy three
years ago by the formation of the pres
ent combine, known as the Distilling
Company of America.
THE plan, which has been quietly
discussed. has not yet taken definite
form, but it is proposed to interest in
the scheme the leading jobbing houses
of the country, and interest permanent
~ all the dfstflIers whose plants are
bought, including in the deal the agree
ment to have the goods mdnufac tured
in their old locations, under their old
brands, thereby making them custom
ers of the new company, affording an
outlet for the goods manufactured, and
leaving the brand and output in the
hands of the original owners.
1T is claimed that the outside dis
tilleries of Kentucky would have a
combined output capacity about equal
to that of the trust and that the out
side spirit distilleries would have d
combined output greatly in excess of
the trust
1T is further asserted that a new
combine might offer big prices for out
side properties, and yet have a capital
iZation much less than the bonded in
debtedness of $4,000, 600, which the
Distilling Company of America has just
underwritten.
