seeds, which are sOwn in beds, are so
! very small, lighter than the lightest
thistledown, that the least breeze will
blow them away, necessitating great
care in the handling. When the plants
are about foot high they are trans
planted, five or six feet apart, to the
sunny side of mountain. 1t is assert
ed that virgin soil is absolutely neces-
sary, and that the addition of any kind
of fertilizer would be ruinous. Twice
every year the earth between the trees
is slightly disturbed by the primitive
plows of the country, and that is all the
cultivation they require. At the age of
eight years the trees are ready to strip;
or if the owner is hard up, as is usually
the case, part of them may be utiliz-
ed sooner and young plants put into
their places. In some sections it is
customary to remove from each tree
about one quarter OF its bark every
year; but here the tree is cut down to
the ground, its trunk and larger limbs
peeled, and the smallest branches care
fully scraped, clear to the leaves. An
eight -year-old tree yields from twelve
to fifteen pounds of bark, which in the
present depressed state of trade is
worth only about seventy-five cents.
If the peeled-off bark happens to get
wet it loses much of its alkaloid quini
ma; hence every planter has to build
ample sheds in which to dry it. The
trunk of the tree after having been
peeled, is entirely valueless, not even
good for firewood in a country where
fuel is scarce The cost of cutting, dry
ing and packing the bark is about s1.9o
per hundred weight. A box is lined
with burlap and then with layer of
banana leaves. The bark is put in and
pressed down by machinery, until the
| box will hold no more and the scale in
dicates exactly 100 pounds. 1t is then
removed from the box, banana leaves
and all; second sack is added, and the
whole bound tight with raW-hiGe
thongs. There are no fewer than p va
rieties of the quina tree, some worth
less, others ranging in the amount of
ouinine contained in the bark from one
half per cent to seven per cent. The
buyer must know his business, for if
not an expert he is likely to be badly
sold. The gold brick swindle has
| not been so often Derpetrated in the
United States as that of selling for cas-
carilla the worthless bark of some other
tree. A well known dealer of La PaZ,
who ought to have known what he was
about after years of experience, recent
ly lost S160,000 at one fell swoop on
shipload of bark supposed to be casca-
rilla but which, when arrived at the
| English market, turned out to be
species of oak, good for nothing under
the sun. FANNIE B. WARD.

All tradesmen being liable to- the
incursions and depredations OF rats,
1t may not be out of place to mention
a method Of getting rid of these pests
which is recommended by a cores
pendent Of the Birmingham Daily
Post. This consists in thinning down
with petroleum ordinary sloW-dry1ng
tar varnish such as bedstead makers
and japanners use and pouring the
mixture into the runs of the rats.
The vermin are said to loathe the
smell of the stuff, and will do any
thing to get clear of it. A still more
effective plan is said to be to catch
rat alive, dip it up to the neck in the
varnish and turn it loose. Its fel'
lows will fee from 1t as from the
deil..,, The dipping process is said to
be harmless to the rat. But some
ironmongers may not care to dip a
live rat up to its neck.

Several important Points That Must
Be Remembered.
's~ To teach child with success re-
quires only common sense good judg-
ment and gentleness. There are, how
ever, three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind
of the teacher.
First of all, she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often. indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
is to blame. Second, there is the
infexible rule that requires teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving it, in order to present 1t
in an interesting and Ineligible way.
Third, there is the ever present dam
ger of OVERRIDING, against which the
teacher must always be on guard.
