RoER TOBACCO is STRONG.
White Man Cannot Endure Its Scent
or Taste-BIacks Like II.


After Transvaal tobacco, but a long
way after, comes Boer. The name is
in reality nowadays misnomer, says
South Africa, for this tobacco is grown
largely in Natal and Cape Colony. 1t
is also cultivated in the Orange River
colony is sold by the roll and can be
obtained for about So pound If
whole roll is purchased. 1t is also sold
by the sack.
White men buy these sacks, but they
do not smoke the contents themselves;
they use it to reward the Kaffir serv-
ants for working overtime, or doing
any other mertorious action. The
taste for Transvaal tobacco is an ac-
quired one; it also takes a certain
time before man gets used to the
scent. No white man who has come
from distance has so far lived long
enough to acquire liking for either
the taste or the smell, but it has its
uses in the case of the natives, and it
Is also useful If you have an unde-
sirable visitor who you are anxious to
get rid Of. Offer him pipe of Boer
tobacco and he will never enter your
home again.
The traders purchase this weed
largely; they also use it upon the
natives in the shape of presents as
every Kaffir who makes purchase in
country store always asks for free
gift and the competition to secure the
native trade is so acute that the re.
quest cannot be refused

AMONG THE ODD FELLOWS.

Following out a resolution adopted
at the last session of the Grand Lodge
of Utah, Grand Master Walker, and
other grand officers, have decided to
issue circular letter to the several
lodges of this jurisdiction, informing
the membership that three prizes will
be offered for the best drilled degree
teams in Utah during the coming
year. The state has been divided into
districts of which all that part of Utah
lying north of the north line of Salt
Lake county forms one; Salt Lake
and Summit counties another, and that
portion of the state south of Salt Lake
county another. The prize in each dis
trict will be silver cup. 1t has been
decided that the contests this year
will begin October 1, and close Febru-
airy /, 1906. The first and second de-
grees are the ones to be exemplified,
the intiatory and third degrees being
ones where the lodges have shown the
most proficiency in the past. Three
judges will be selected who will wit
ness the work of the several teams
and make report.
Canton Colfax No. 1, Patriarchs Mil
liant, seems to have taken on new

drill regularly. The canton has &C
cepted the invitation of the G. A. r..
to turn out in the Memorial Day pa
rade, and unless something unforeseen
happens to prevent the handsome uni
forms of the Patriarchs will be fea-
ture of the occasion.
Fidelity Lodge, No. II, last Wednes-
day night conferred the third degree
upon two candidates from Murray
lolge, No. 33. A number of the mem
bers of the lodge came up to see the
work and expressed themselves as be-
ing highly pleased with the manner in
which it was done.
Milford lodge will initiate a very
large class some time next month, and
will have with them on that occasion
the Grand Master and several grand
lodge officials.
Ridgely lodge has voted to conson-
date with Utah lodge No. 1. If this is
acceptable the last named lodge will
be the richest in the state.

Bee Stings for Rheumatism.

The Auckland New Zealand)
News, noting the fact that certain
medical men have declared that bee
stings were useful remedy for rheu-
mastism, because of the formic acid
they contain, gives the following plan
for securing the stings:
Knowing that the honey bee hates
the odor of rubber, the expert hangs
near the hive rubber blanket. This
infuriates the bees and they all rush
at the blanket and sting it, leaving
their stings in the rubber. ANY one
