The Worlds Incense.

Incense is the resinous tear of pear.
shaped gum that exudes from a tree
found in British Somaliland, from
near Berbera to Cape Guardafui. Some
incense comes from a region adjoining
Maskat, near the Arabian coast. In.
ferior incense is found in India, but
the best and greatest quantity comes
from British Somaliland.
The incense tree is squatty, thorny
and unsightly-like the myrrh and
acacia-and seldom reaches height
of Is feet.
Incense is not only used in worship
but many orientals use it to sweeten
the breath and burn it in their houses
to kill disagreeable odors. The crop
varies from 2,240,OOO to 3,36O,OOC
pounds and is gathered in the autumn
and brought to market by the Somalis
during the winter months. The price
ranges from 2 to 6 iunas a 10 IL
cents) per pound, according to quality.
Incense is extensively used all over
the orient, and last year 1,493, ,744
pounds were shipped to Bombay,
which is great distributing point,
and l,425,SSO pounds to Europe, the
greater portion going to Marseilles and
Trieste.

A New Joint.

A roller-top desk "joint" is the lat
est thing in Topeka, Kas. For several
months Topeka had a lot OF "joints"
fixed up with expensive bars and fix
lures. They disappeared few weeks
ago when Frank Stahl was named as
Chief Of Police. In their place now
come the roller top desk "joints." A
"jointist" opens up real estate or
some other kind of an Office. His Of
flee furniture consists of q roller-tOp
desk and couple OF chairs. The desk
is placed in the rear of the Office, with
its back to the front window.
A bottle of whisky is kept in the
right hand lower drawer. A liquor
glass is there also. The "jointist"
fills the glass and leaves it in the open
drawer. He then goes to the front
door or window to gaze on the passing
throng. The customer goes back to
the desk, ostensibly to write letter.
He drinks the glass of liquor and
leaves Is cents in the drawer and
walks out. The jointest" then loads
the glass for the next customer, and
so on.

Embalm Bodies In Glass.
Kansas City Sta

NouSas Nity oluI.
An Americanized Russian has pa
tented q new process of embalming
which consists in casting solid block
of glass around the subject to be pre-
served, through which the features
and outlines Of the body will be per.
fectly visible. As no air can possibly
enter, the remains are expected to last
indefinitely, till some shock destroys
the crystal block which incases them
like so many flies in amber.
The inventor hopes that the relics
OF great men will be preserved in this
way. remaining to aftertime in thei,
habit as they lived, with vast mauso'
leums in which to place them, en-.
trance to which will be deemed an
honor like that of burial in Westmin.
ter or Santa Croce. The mechanical
process by which all this is to be made
possible, and on which the government
has issued patent, is quite simple.
The remains are first surrounded
with coating OF sodium silicate, OF
water glass. which is allowed to dry
When the water has been sufficiently
evaporated, the subject is placed in q
mold which is to determine the size ol
the glass block, and molten glass is
poured in till it is filled.

the people tnere ulHer from our

small sphere of ours. More important
to us is a knowledge of ourselves

the human mechanism is a wonderful
thing and requires watching.
One man who has done more to teach
the American people how to care for their
Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, the Author of the
"Common Sense Medical Adviser" He
says: 1t is not the quantity of the food
eaten which produces strength and health
(for some people can keep strong on a very
meagre dietl, but it is how much food is
absorbed and assimilated by the blood and
carried to nourish every organ of the body.
1t is, therefore, vitality necessary for the
body that the stomach be in healthy
state. If disease of the stomach, or what is
called stomach trouble" prevents proper
nutrition then the heart, liver, lungs. and
kidneys do not get proper food-they are
not fed on rich red blood, and in conse-
quence, begin to show signs of distress.
Outwardly these signs may be pimples
and eruptions on skin, pale face, sleepless
nights, tired, languid feelings, or, by reason
of the nerves not being fed on pure blood,
they become starved, and we receive q
narning in the pain we call neuralgia
Rheumatism, too. is blood disease After
years of practice and study Dr. Pierce
found that an Alternative Extract, which he
named "Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery," made from the extracts of several
plants, invariably produced tonic effect
upon the system. 1t helped the process Of
absorption of the healthy elements in the
food and increased the red corpuscles of
the blood as we'll as eliminated the poisons
from the system.

New Cure for CONSUMPTION.

cording to DR.. Charles Aubery Buck
lin of N. Y. His tuberculosis patients

tains plateau and gain weight. All
that is necessary, DR.. Bucklin claims,
is to have the prominent lower turbi-
mated bones removed. They are in
the skull, close to the outer surface Of
each Of the nostrils. The turbinated
bone is about one and a half inches
long and may be as thin as lead pen
Gil. Taking out the bone increases
the facility of breathing. The opera
tion is nearly painless and the wound
heals in a week. The consumptive
begins to put on flesh almost at once.
DIR. Bucklin cites the cases of several
patients cured, or, as he says, "appar-
emily on the road to complete cure" J"
One operated upon in 1902, after
twenty-five hemorrhages, was appar-
emily near deaths door. DR.. Bncklin
holds that it takes six years to tell
whether the cure is complete or not.

The Longest Word.

A teacher in an uptown school told
her class one afternoon that she ex

longest word in the English Language
on the following morning.
The next day 3S out of 40 pupils
turned in words which ran from IA tc

JUST SMILE AND THEN FORGET.

Oh, do not be discouraged, little heart.
This world is not a wilderness of woe !;
And if sometimes its brambles catch and
tear,
Don t let the little scratches vex you so.
For all the little worries that befall,
The small vexations that SO grieve and
fret
Tomorrow they will vanish into air;
Then smile, dear heart, just smile and
then forget.
And if to-day the skies are overcast,
Somewhere, We know the sun is shin
ing still;
Its silver radiance brims the lowering
clouds
And We may catch its glory if We will,
And it is good to strive though We
should fail,
And good it is to suffer and be strong !;
And if we lift our faces to the light
The darkest day will ring to evensong.
And when our feet are weary, and the
road
More toilsome seems with every pass
ing day
To share our every burden, little heart,
The Helper walks beside us all the
WaV.

The magnificent specimens of spruce
boards recently sent to the Louisiana
Purchase Exposit ion by the Gray's
HORROR Commercial Co., OF Cosmopolis,
WASH, has caused considerable talk
among the lumber manufacturers.
The boards were 10 feet wide and the
question of how they could be sawed
where there is only an eight.ioot open
ing at the log-deck puzzled a good
many. but when it was explained
that the specimens were only seven
feet long it became an easy matter to
understand that the usual method oil
saving was reversed and instead ol
cutting the log in horizontal posi-
ton the cut was made vertical.
