Wax from Trees.

The wax palm of the Andes is a
vegetable wonder. It grows to a
height Of nearly 200 feet, and thrives
not only on the plains, but the noun
tains. The wood is tough and dur
able, and is employed in carpentry.
The wax comes from the pits between
the trunk and fronds. It is yellow
or grayish white, is as pure as. bees
wax, and is used for making candles.
A "peon" climbing the trees can
gather from 20 to 80 pounds from
each.

The people in Foldahl are through
and through and a law abiding peo-
pie. 1t has seldom happened that
any of us has come in conflict with
the laws of the state. It therefore
caused quite a sensation, when a
constable from Argyle few days
ago came here and arrested Alfred
Hagstrom, on the charge of having
in an unlawful manner gotten pos
session of a horse, in Argyle, and
taken it home. The magistrate at
Argyle found, however, that there
was not sufficient evidence against
Hagstrom to convict him, and the
case was consequently dismissed.
The plaintiff and Mr. Hagstrom
agreed each to stand half of the
costs, and thus this criminal case
was finally dissosed of in a verv
satisfactory manner.
A farmer Rosenquist, who lived
northwest of here sold his farm at

moved to Canada. But his living in
Canada during the past summer

returned and bought few acres

sterilized jars, stopped with sterilized

it is inoculated by having the bacilli
dropped in from the point OF needle

multiply as rapidly as in human

when it may be seen to be covered
with ghastly-looking, greenish
crust, toxin which is hideous mass

ton, diphtheria or whatever has been

guinea pigs which die and are opened
and examined. If it is found that the
toxin was pure, it is injected into an
antitoxin horse. Before one of these
horses is utilized for this purpose:
he is tested to ascertain if he be free
from all disease, by receiving an in
lection of mallein, fluid which will
arouse into activity any disease
which may happen to Turk in his
system. If he be healthy, the mallein
will not affect him. Being proven
healthy, the first injection of toxin,
about one-half a thimbleful, or one
cubic centimeter, is introduced into
his blood from a syringe Of glass and
silver by thoroughly sterilized, disin
fected, Whitehead, clean-shaven physi-

three days, the horse is very i'll, eat

other injection is given, this time of
three cubic centimeters. He becomes

centimeters are administered. The
effect of this is hardly perceptible.
By the end of two months, more than

Britain, and this ought to result in
great improvement of the breed.
The government has tried very
hard to improve the breeding and
rearing of poultry, and this should
form 4 very important auxiliary to
the New Zealand farm. The poultry
are received in large numbers at
government works in Christchurch,
where they are sold, packed and
frozen for shipment.
The climate is very excellent one
for the production of fruit, and, gen.
orally, speaking, pears. plums,
ounces, apricots, figs, walnuts,. cher
ries, gooseberries, currants. straw
berries and raspberries do splendid
ly. Oranges and lemons flourish in
the Auckland district. The olive
bears heavy crops in North Island,
and the manufacture Of oil promises
to be an important one in time. Vine
growing is also developing, and
though the grapes in the past have
been largely sold for use at the
table, an Italian wine expert has
given it as his opinion that there are
numerous localities suita BILE for
growing vines for the manufacture
of wine. Cider making, too, is car
ried on to a considerable extent, and
the drying of fruit has been greatly
encouraged by tie government.
The soil is fertile and the climate
humid, and what New Zealand aims
at is not competition with the very
| cheap products of other lands, but to
be able to send out goods of a bet
ter quality. This, of course, must
be done by the small holder, who is
assisted in the work of his firm by
the various members of his family.
For such, very good facilities are Of
fered for settling on the land. At
Cheyiot, for instance, the fine estate
has been cut up into moderate-sized
farms, and let to farmers on perpet-
uaI lease at a rental representing
four per cent. of the purchase
money. Mr.. Murphy, to whom we are
indebted for much of our informa-
ton on the agriculture of New Zea-
land, says in regard to this: Pros
porous homes have sprung up all
over the settlement, and tree-plant-
ing is being carried on by some Of
the settlers, which is a proof of the
| stability Of the settlement. Indeed.
the planting of trees and shrubs is
one of the greatest necessities of the
colony, and if their Arbor day is not
success sfui, we trust that the govern
ment will take this matter in hand
and do it thoroughly. For the rest,
1t is enough to say that probably in

for the production Of lambs for
freezing, and this accounts for some
of the changes shown in the agricul-
tural statistics of New Zealand. 1t
has been found advisable to grow
roots and forage crops. and the Gull
tivation of cereals has decreased. In
the latest return that we can OBJ
tain, the number of sheep i'll New
Zealand was 20,233, O99, the highest
total yet reached by the colony,
which furnishes conclusive evidence
that the demands of the frozen meat
trade are exercising a most decided
effect upon the agriculture of that
colony. But the dairy is formid-
able rival of the flock.

the character of the pastures APP

perienced in England than those of

industry is not taken to very kindly
by men who have been accusutomed
to the free and rowing life on large
sheep runs but. still. it is gradually
extending in Canterbury, and no
doubt will go on increasing. For the
year ending March 81, 1902, the total
value of the butter and cheese ex.
ported was $6, 100000. Local experts
say that this industry is capable of
much greater expansion without in

thus REINFORCED by a poison to the
germs whose demise rids them Of the
disease which was preying upon their
tissues.
While some antitoxins have been
obtained with comparative ease, ex-
periments with typhoid germs have
proven very unsatisfactory. In 1884
Koch discovered the bacili of ty-
phoid. They are rod-like and thick
with the ends rounded, and some
times joined in flaments. They pos"
sess little hair-like projections called
fagella and move very rapidly. They
are found in water, milk and meats
and gain entrance into the system by
various methods. Many experiments
have been made to secure an antitox-
in from bouillon, but to no great pur-
pose. 1t has been nearly impossible
to obtain the ''juice between the
cells of typhoid bacteria without de-
stroying the chemical action Of
germs themselves. No really salts
ia ctory results had been obtained
until, recently, DR.. Allan McFayden,
of the Jeaner institute of preventive
medicine, one of the leading bac-
teriologists of Europe, after much
research, has discovered a method Of
manufacturing antitoxin for typhoid
which, it is generally believed, will
soon be universally adopted. The
microscopical cells of the typhoid
bacilli are so small and pliable or
elastic that no mechanical agent
could destroy them. Freezing does
not injure them.
1t occurred to DR.. McFayden to
freeze the cells by means of liquid
air until very brittle, then to crush
thousands of them together in a NOR
tar. This first and most difficult
step has proved great success. The
mass now dead, so far as its power Of
communicating disease is concerned,
is allowed to become warm again,
and is still chemically alive as to
its qualities from which antitoxin
may be prepared. Repeated injec-
tions into animals have produced a
serum, which, it is believed, will
prove efficacious. 1t is too soon after
it's discovery for large number Of
experiments to have demonstrated
it's successful use, but results SO far
obtained are very promising. At
present about all one can do for q
typhoid patient is the administra ton
of baths, nourishment and stimu-
lants. If the new process be proven

Especial New York Letter.1

~ HIS is essentially the age of an
titoXina. extreme cases Of the
''hair of the dog" curing the
bite. New discoveries are constantly
being made, both of the specific
germs causing certain diseases and
methods of utilizing them for their
own destruction. 1t is well known
that if a person were shut up in
room for an extended length of time
where no fresh air was allowed
to enter death would ensue be-
cause the air in the room, breathed
over and over, would become charged
with pOisOns given out by the body,
and there would soon be no fresh air
to feed upon. In the case of dis
ease germ nuch the same condition
prevails. 1t must have fresh material
to feed upon, as the juices it throws
off are a certain poison to itself.
Hence, if to the blood Of person
containing germs of disease, a suffi-
cient quantity of the effete material
furnished by the germ itself be
added, the small pest dies because it
has no fresh food, free from its own
specific poison, upon which to feed.
In the case of many of our most COM
mon and yirulent diseases the bacil-
lus has been isolated and for their
treatment an antitoxin has been Sc
cured.
Nearly everyone is aware that the
antitoxins in general use are OBJ
tanned from horses, and the methods
of securing them are being constant
ly improved upon. Of course the first
thing to be considered is the isola-
ton of the offending microbe from
the thousands of different variety
which surround it. This presupposes
the fact that the wicked one is so
we'll known as to be recognizable;
that his portrait hangs in the germ
rogues' gallery.
After the bacteria are removed
from a sufferer, they are more care
fully cultivated than most plants, the
usual medium being bouilloR prepared

to produce antitoxin, the disease win
soon lose it's terrors.
Upon the death of his grandson
from cholera infantum Rockefeller
donated 100000 to be used toward
finding cure for that disease. Two
students discovered and isolated
germ, and DR.. Simon FleXner manu-
featured therefrom an antitoxin
which counteracts it. 1T will come
into use as soon as the exact amount
for dose shall be determined. His
success has been the means of ele-
waiting DR.. Flexner to the position Of
director in the $15.OOO,Oo0 Rookie
Teller Institute for Medical Research.
Prof Behring, of Vienna, is also con-
spicuously gaining the attention Of
the medical fraternity, first because
of his discovery of the diphtheria
antitoxin, which is yearly saving the
lives of thousands, and more recent
" by his experiments with tubercu-
losis. The death rate from diphtherta
has been reduced to but to
per cent. from SO to 80, by means
of antitoxin. DR.. Behring hopes to
reduce that of tuberculosis propo1.
tionately.

Deen III eV1Qence, but TINS
fact does not detract from their charm.
The lingerie outfit Of underwear is
composed of corset covers, chemises,
drawers, little knee petticoats, long
petticoatS and nightgowns.
These garments are, as rule, made
of fine lawn or nainsook ornamented,
with lace applied in ruffling or in inset
and appliqued designs, with Swiss en-
broidery, with all appropriate forms
of handworil such as embroidery,
hemstitching. French knots, ETC., and
with ribbon rosettes, bows and draw
ing ribbons.
The surprising beauty Of the fine
muslin embroideries this season has
led the makers of lingerie to use en-
broidery trimmings more lavishlly
than ever before and the supremacy of
lace as underwear trim ming is not so
pronounced as it was. In many cases,
a compromise is effected, embroidery
and lace being introduced upon the
same garment. Especially is there a
tendency to introduce embroidery
beading in place of the lace beading
upon lace trimmed undergarments,
and the notion is a sensible one be-
cause rib bons are run through the en-
broidery beading much more easily
than through the lace.
: The tendency of modes in general
toward severity Of outline and elab-
Grafton within severe lines shows in
the lingerie, which displays its orna-
entation in tucks, inset trimmings
and embroidery, etc, rather than in
bouffant puffs and ruffles.
Corset covers are not darted or
fitted close. They follow the simple
model popular of late seasons, with
closely drawn back and slightly
bloused front
Chemises have the simplest designs
in so far as cut goes. They may or
may not be finished with q ruffie at the
bottom. Some of the most elaborate
models come with a plain hem finish.
Drawers still follow full lines and
are. as a rule, edged with deep ruffies
