GETS PAY FOR OLD sTuMPs
Farmers REIN bursed by the Specula.
tive Makers of Turpentine.

N
tive Makers of Turpentine.
Turpentine can be extracted from
an old pine stump and this fact is the
basis of new industry reported from
northern Minnesota. The promoters OF
the novel enterprise are asking farm
ers for the privilege of clearing their
land of stumps.
Such a proposal comes to the owner
of a "cut-over" farm, whose ribs are
sore from contact with the plow han
dies in futile effort to dodge the OBJ
strusive stump, like a message Of de-
liyerance. All the promoter wants is
the stumps, and the farmer sincerely
wants him to have them, SO bargain
Is easily struck.
The turpentine men go on the land
with stump puller and extract all
the remnants Of the forest, hauling
them away to the plant where the tur-
pentine is extracted, and all the
stumps, pine or hardwood, are burned
for charcoal It is asserted that the
stumps are rich in turpentine and that
the process yields good financial re-
turns.
Hitherto the manufacture of tur-
pentine has been practically confined
to the South, where the yellow pine is
very rich in all by-products. White
pine yields them in comparatively
small quantities. 1t is not likely that
the industry will ever reach great pro-
portions in the north, but as long as
the turpentine man finds his raw ma
terial cheap and easily accessible he
is likely to carry on the good work.
What Minnesota is more interested
in is the elimination Of the stumps.
Some cut-over land really needs them
to decay and thus enrich the sandy
soil. but there are large areas of good
farming land, especially adapted to
potatoes, red clover and other crops,
that will be much more valuable when
entirely cleared. 1t is an enormous
labor for the farmer to clear quarter
section of these distractions. When
it is done he can put in larger crop
acreage and raise more to the acre,
but the clearing means years of labor.
If he can have it done him by the tur-
pentine and charcoal producer, he will
not begrudge his benefactor a hand
some profit.-AIlnneapolis Journal.

Cleaning the Oil Pipelines.

The long pipes that carry crude pc.
troleum from the oil wells to the re-
fineIies many miles distant are cleaned
by an ingenious device. A writer in
the Omaha Daily Bee describes it.
AS the oil flows through these I'M
derground conduits some of the par
affin in the fluid incrusts the sides OF
the pipes and proves a serious him
drance to the free passage of the eur.
rent of oil.
The device that is used to remedy
this evil is knife about two feet in
length, with a sharp edge, constructed
like the thread of a screw; indeed, the
knife resembles huge headless screw
It is, of course, slightly smaller than
the pipe through which it is to pass.
When the thickness of the crust OF
paraffin renders a cleansing necessary
this instrument is inserted in the pipe
at the oil fields. The pressure of the
stream Of oil drives it forward, re-
volving rapidly as it hurries along
and scrapes the channels clean.
1t turns and twists and cleanses In
this manner throughout it's whole jour
ney, and finally drops from the pipes
in the midst of the vast stream of pc
troleum that empties into the receiv-
ing tanks. Its edges are duller than
when it set out on it's journey, but
otherwise it is in perfect condition. II
is at once shipped back to the oil
wells, where it is sharpened and laii
away until it's services are again
needed.

Rhubarb is an excellent blood purl-

1t is said that apples will relieve

Lemon juice will remove tartar from

If the feet are tired take a warm
foot bath. There is nothing quite so
efficacious for tired nerves.
Ten to twelve drops Of tincture Of
camphor in a tumbler of water makes
a good wash for the teeth.
Iodine is excellent to cure bunions.
Use it as often as possible without
blistering- Wear oil silk on the spot
during the day.
Plums, peaches, raspberries and ap-
ricots have less sugar than other
fruits, and are not harmful to those
to whom sugar is injurious.
The astringent properties Of the
pomegranate are particularly helpful
to singers and speakers who suffer
with relaxed muscles Of the throat and
uvula.
Even the ordinary woman, in these

Acc Of Japanese Women.

A weman's age and position are no
secret in Japan. There, girls Of or
8 wear their hair in bow at the back,
wound round with red Grape, the front
being left bare except for two locks
dangling at the side. Manageable
damsels comb their tresses high in
front and arrange them either in the
shape Of a butterfly or half-opened
fan. A widow looking out for a sec
ond spouse twists her locks round
long shell hairpin, placed horizontally
across the back of the head. But she
who vows to remain faithful to the
dear departed cuts her hair short and
combs it plainly back without any
parting.

dissatisfaction? Simply that human
nature is so curiously constituted that
the absolute ownership Of coveted
object, Or fu1fillment of some ardently
desired hopes, soon converts the most
intense longing into placid, If not In
different acceptance of the amplest ia

blaming or denouncing the universal

INDIANS ARE THE JUDGES.

Their Tribe.

4 Their Tribe.
A full-blood Indian court sits al
eWhite Eagle regularly each Saturday
to hear misdemeanor cases and pun
ish members of the Ponca and Otoe
tribes, says the Kansas City Journal.
The court is authorized by the rules
Of the Indian Department and the fines
assessed are turned into a fund and
expended in improvements at the agen-
cy. During the administration Of Maj.
John Jensen the. court funds were used
in building laundry. The court is a
court of last resort and no defendant
has even been known to stand on his
constitutional rights" or seek to bribe
the ministers Of justice, who convict
about seven out of every ten defend
ants that come before them. The pro-
ceedings often afford much amuse-
ment to spectators. The members of
the court are full-bloods, never speak
ing English on the bench, and have
high ideas of their Importance. Their
unvarying rule of procedure is "sock
it to 'em." Each judge is paid sal.
airy Of $40 a month.

demning the sins that beset tribal way
farers ON the long trail is Chief JUS

more than ordinary capacity and be.
sides with dignity not excelled by the
Lord High Chancellor of England. AT
his right sits Associate Justice Big
Goose, humorist, if his twinkling eve
tells the truth. At his left sits Asso-
ciate Justice Rough Face, a striking
type of the North American Indian
with a sinister curve in the corners
Of his mouth.
The Indians on the Ponca and Otoe
reservations devote most Of their time
to two problems-fguring where they
can get drink Of whisky or it's equiv.
alent and maneuvering to live seven
days in every week and 365 days il
every year without work. Manual la
Dor is a calamity worse than famine
and more to be feared than pestilence
The job of whisky drinking is super

in convivial hilarity.
