Tried Them ON the Indians.

"When I was out in Oregon, SO
years ago." said a pleasant-looking
farmer, who has been in the red
raspberry business for IS years, Il
first saw red raspberries growing
wild in the thickets and along the
edges of the wild Oregon roads.
They were saucer-shaped, and not
so deep as the modern berry-just
like those which still grow wild in
Michigan. AS the Oregon berries
looked tempting, I picked lot in
my hat, but did not dare to eat them,
as I did not know whether they were
poisonous or not. On my way back
to camp I met a number of Indians
whom I had seen before and knew
to be friendly; in fact, they had
taken such fancy to me that they
once offered to adopt me into the
tribe. To these genial Indians I pre-
scented my hatful Of fresh red rasp-
berries, and my Joy was great when
they ate them all with relish. After
that ate all I wanted" Detroit

DAINTY COAL TAR PRODUCT.

will suffice to coat and preserve several
thousand feet of lumber, and the Ito
pounds of aniline and IL pounds OF
aurin will dye 500 yards of flannel, light
blue; 100 yards yellow; 1850 yards
vermillion; $500 yards, full yellow; 100
yards, full violet; 255 yards turkey
red. These are figures gathered from
actual statistics.
Strange it seems, that in ordinary
coal consumption all these riches
should 60 to waste. But, Of course, one
must consider that in order to get the
few pounds of marvelously powerful
coloring matter out Of the coal, very
expensive manufacture is needed, and
after the aniline and aurin are OBJ
tanned, they must again be treated
with many chemicals, "washed out" be-
fore they really become valuable. In
England and Germany the manufac-
ture of coal tar by-products is highly
developed, and is most fruitful In
dustry, well repaying the millions in
vested in special machinery, and the
loss to the general trade of coal. It
is the more surprising therefore that
the United States, industrially the most
advanced country in the world, and at
the same time perhaps the richest
