Trade in Arizona Cactus.

A large business has been worked
up by Arizonans in the gathering and
sale of cactus and desert plants, for
which there seems to be an ever-in-
creasing demand in the Eastern states
and in Europe. Near Phoenix is a
large nursery devoted solely to the
care and sale of prickly plants. Two
German horticultural gardens have
expeditions in the field in Arizona,
gathering and shipping rare speci-
mems, without reference to size. Some
immense saguras. weighing tons, have
been created and shipped to Dussel-
dorff. Paramount park Philadelphia,
is to have an Arizona garden. for
which Gardener Smith of the Arizona
capitol grounds is engaged in gather

Oil for Country Roads.

William Rockefeher. who owns a
half dozen large automobiles and tour
ing cars, is showing great interest in
the Improvement Of the highways in
the towns along the Hudson. His lat
est proposition to the local authorities
is to sprinkle the Albany post road
and other thoroughfares near his
home at Tarrytown with crude oil.
Mr.. Rockefeller believes the oil will
lay the dust during the summer and
harden the roads until they will re-
semble macadam. Ii the highway au-
thorities adopt the suggestion, Mr..
Rockefeller will supply oil free of
charge to the towns, from the cars of
the Standard Oil Company. The au-
thorities will take up the proposition
and probably give it a trial this
spring.

A hedgehog curls itself up by a
frown-that is, by muscles like those
which produce a frown-and it frowns
severely or gently according to cir
cumstances. If it is poked hard, it
"sighs" itself tighter. If really hurt,
it frowns into a tight ball. The prick
les can be erected in measure,
though as they point all ways this is
not needed. They are as sharp as
needles. We have only known one
dog, large black and white setter,
which would deliberately bite hedge
hog till it killed it. But this dog was
quite mad, and shared some of the an
aesthesia common to certain lunatics.

Their Ideas About Women.

The Hottentots and Bushmen believe
women are necessary evil, and the
younger they break their wives in the
better. They feel that ten years is
none too young. for girls of these years
are more pliable and more easily mold
ed. 1t must be granted that the Hot
tentots use milder methods than do
the Australians. They do not kill the
girls who refuse to marry. The Hot.
tentot often goes to the hut of a girl
and makes her cup OF coffee, then
hands 1t to her without adding a word.
If she drinks half of it he knows her
answer is yes" If she refuses to
touch the coffee he feels his suit is
hopeless, but he is not grieved; he
visits neighboring hut and tries his
luck again.

FAULTS OF THE MISTRESS.
Not Always as Considerable az She
MINT Be.


The capable mistress IL generally
the most considerate. and there is no
question but that she is the strongest
factor in the production of whatever
good service is given in the household
to-day, writes Jane Seymour Klink. in
the Atlantic. Nevertheless, she is
sometimes inconsiderate, and in this
way: She can turn on work" SO
quickly herself that she often forgets
others have not the same faculty.
Girls In a new place are often slow
just because they are SO nervously
anxious to please. A capable mistress,
impatient because things are not NOV
Ing SO rapidly as she knows they can
move. does not. always give a maid
the two weeks trial, by which she
could do herself justice. Again, the
capable mistress comes into the kitch-
en- to make a cake. Everything is
ready to her hand, and she whisks
up the cake in few minutes, telling
Jane to bake it carefully. She goes
up stairs and contrasts her quickness
with James slowness. forgetting that
she had neither placed things in readi-
ness. nor cleared them away, neither
superintended the baking.

BILLIONS USED EACH YEAR.
Enormous Number Of Shoe Lace Eyes
Annually Called For.

Some OF the apparently most tri-
vial things in this world are the most
necessary things and fortunes are
made in manufacturing them" said
Ralph L. Jenkins.
Take the lace eyes OF shoes, foI
instance. The average person neve:
gives them thought, but they are in
dispensable to our footwear, and there
are factories that devote themselves
exclusively to making them. Did you
ever stop to think how many of those
little things are used every year?
''On the basis OF the population of
the United States being 100000.
this country uses more than 1000, 900
OF lace eyes and hooks a year. Every
man, woman and child will wear out
on an average two pairs of shoes in
twelve months. The majority of peo
pie have two feet and there are TWEEN
ty eyes and hooks on each shoe. Use
your arithmetic and see what the to-
tai is. 1t foots up to 2.00O,0 900 more
than 100000. "-Milwaukee Sentinel.

USE FOR CAYENNE PEPPER.
In the Form Of Sandwich It viii In
duce Sleep.

Sufferers from insomnia should try
cayenne pepper sandwiches. Cut a
slice of thin bread-a plain biscuit
may be used-butter it generously,
and add liberal sprinkling of cayenne
pepper. Cover it over with a thip
slice of bread or a biscuit, as the case
may be. 1t is surprising what little in
convenience is experienced, merely a
slight, smarting sensation in the
mouth, which is soon over. The sand
witch should be eaten just before re-
firing, and soon after the sufferer will
be asleep. The pepper acts as slim
ulant to the stomach, drawing the
blood from the excited brain and in
ducing sleep. A cayenne pepper sand
witch is much less harmful than drugs
and, when taken in small quantities, is
good tonic for weak stomach. Bill
ious headache has also been known to
yield to cup of hot water to which
has been added a generous pinch OF
ceyenne pepper and nip of soda as
big as pea.

johannesburg as a town surprises
and disappoints," writes a South At
rican traveller. at has been put up
in hurry and is mostly built of cor
rugated iron. There are finished
buildings, mostly of stucco, and innu-
merable shanties. There are wide
streets, but they are all dusty. Com
missioner street is the main artery
for business. 1t is there that, in i'm
itation of America, sky-scrapers have
been built, which domineer over the
town more than the old fort does. Sun
day in Johannesburg is honored in
the breach and not in the observance.

All Americas a field.
ana almost all the men are baseball
players;
They have their innings and they chase
the ball,
And each man in his life is struck out
many times;
His standing is well shown by seven;
AT first the infant, with serious mind
intent,
Alert to learn how best to play the game:
And then the boy, with eyes to knot hole
glued.
from far on following the progress of
the game;
And then the youth who proudly tends
And gains admittance to the game itself;
Then as a strong young man himself oft
seen
In uniform and playing with a will;
So drifting on in years, but always bent
To see each game and criticise the play;
And then, the rooter hoarse who knows
1t ALL
And is confirmed, unsuitable n blea CHI
erite;
Last scene of all, too feeble to attend the
game,
But eagerly demanding to the last the
score.
