MEXICAN CUAYULE RUBBER

For several years experiments havt been going on to secure a practical method of extracting the rubber from the small guayule bush that grows SC plentifully over vast areas of tho northern plains of Mexico. The rub Der from this plant is not equal ir elastic properties to tree rubber. but it said to be quite satisfactory for yul eanizing purposes, and is now bringing tl,50 Mexican currency. per pound The various processes for it's extrac tion include both chemical and others that are purely mechanical. The lat ter seems to have reached the more practical stage, both because they de liver cleaner product and because the process itself is cheaper. The shrub Is cut down entire. close to the ground and ground up into sawdust and the gum separated. The bush grows again slowly, and in the course of five years is ready to be cut again
 No attempt has been made as yet for its cultivation. but experiments along this line Will undoubtedly fol low. In the meantime. however. thert are hundreds of thousands of acres ir Mexico where fl grows wild. Ths plants are now bringing $40.

Personal character was never so widely exploited as now. Our great men stand where a lime-light of publicity is for ever flashed upon their smallest ac- tions. The world moves on at pace so rapid that electricity is it's only parallel.
 The scholarly and the convenient way is to know what you want and to pursue it according to routine. Under separate captions, arranged either top- ically or alphabetically, paste what ever of value you sift from the daily news. that is your wheat. For you, the residue is chaff Or it is your gold, and the remainder, for your pur- poses, is dross. Discriminate, decide what impresses you. and why, and put aside your material for future use.
 Index your scrap-book, and then, without a moments unnecessary delay, you can turn to what you are searching for.
 Where does certain popular pastor procure so many fitting stories, allus- ions, and anecdotes? The question was asked by a person who seemed to fancy that the clergyman evolved them from his inner consciousness. I could have replied that he had the useful habit of the orderly scrap-book. from which on occasion he brought forth things new and old.

 The refreshment table was decorated with gayly-dressed paper dolls, which the girls took home with them, as we'll as the dolls which they dressed. Cocoa. chicken sandwiches and crullers In shape of dolls were served. This mother said she had never got through party before with so little fatigue or friction. Perhaps 1t was because the boys were not invited. But I think boys could be entertained in the same way. for the se- cret of keeping children, as we'll as grown people, happy, is to keep them busy.

(Copyright, 1905, by Joseph B. Bowles)
 Not scrap-baskets into which we cast away the worthless bits, and the fot- sam and jetsam of desk and library; baskets that are filled and emptied with incredible swiftness in a day or week in a reading household, but scrap books which preserve for future refer enee the best in the newspapers and magazines, are the theme of this bit of discussion.
 Various devices of this kind are soid at the stationer's: Envelopes that are labeled for different clippings, books that are arranged with appropriate headlngs, and properly interleaved but. for practical purposes. an ordi- nary blank-book. and a pair of scis- sors, with good supply of paste. plus brains, are all-sufieient.
 The most fascinating scrapbooks have ever seen are those of a friend, who for years has never laid aside s newspaper without cutting out fhe poems. the anecdotes, the reports of discoveries and inventions. the auips and iests. and the serious artf- cles that have interested her. With out much method. this lady has daily pasted her store of selections. culled from many sources. on the pages of school-composition books. or oeca- sionslly in a diary. with it's dates of montbs and days and weeks. When she has secured for herself the core of a paper. she throws if away. or leaves it for the cook 10 kindle the kitchen fire. Her net result is a charm ing miscellany. just the chance eoIlsc- ton into which. like the immortal Jack Horner, you put in your thumb. and you pull out a plumb.
