The most common and widely used
Of all spices is pepper. 1t is a native of
the East Indies, but is now cultivated
in various part of the tropical belt of
America. The plant Is climber ard
has a smooth stem. sometimes twelve
feet long. The fruit is about the size or
Il pea and when ripe is bright red
color. In cultivation the plant is sup
ported by poles. In some localities
small trees are used instead of poles,
for the best pepper is grown in GER
tain degree of shade The plant IS
propagated by cuttings, comes into
bearing three or four years after it Is
set and yields two crops annually ior
about twelve years. When a few of the
berries turn from green to red all OF
them are gathered, because if theJ
were allowed 20 ripen any longer they
would be less pungent. TO fit them for
the market they are dried separated
by rubbing with the hands and cleaned
by winnowing. Pepper was known TO
the ancients. In the middle ages it was
one Of the most costly Of spices,
pound of 1t being a royal present.

The name Omaha" bears testimony
to the long journey OF The people and
reveals some OF the causes which
brought about this breaking up into
distinct tribes. 1t is composed of two
words, which signify going against
the current" or up the stream. The
Omahas were the people who went up
the stream. while the Quapaws, their
near of kin, went, as their name re-
veals. with the current" or down the
stream. The traditions of both these
peoples say that the parting occurred
during hunting expedition. each divi-
sion finally settling in the lands with
er they had wandered apart. This
epochal hunt must have been centuries
ago, for the Quapaws bore their de-
scriptive name in 1910. being men,
toned in the Portuguese narrative of
De Soto's expedition as then living on
the Arkansas river. where they dwelt
until 1889, when they ceded their long
occupied lands to the United States.

The Word "slaye."

The word slave" which is happily
used seldom unless mctaphorically in
this country, is a word Of brilliant his
torical antecedcnts. Its original, the
Russian "slaya," means glorious and
is the title of that race which sub
sumes the Russian people. But when
the Germans reddced hosts of the Slavs
TO sefvitude their name, from malice
or accident, as Gibbon says, became
synonymous with "servile" 1t retains
no more suggestion of its racial origin
now than does ogre which is really
Hungarian" from a confusion of the
Magyars with the Huns, and Of both
with the terrible Tartars.

Postaec stnnp s.um.

When you lick a postage stamp you
need not fear that the gum is some
thing unclean. Postal gum Is the best
quality on the face of the earth. 1t is
derived from deXtrin, a product secur-
ed in the process of making starch from
potatoes, corn and the cassava root.
The starch from these vegetables Is
treated by roasting at a temperature
of about 80 degrees at the first stage,
causing it to turn into dextrin. Fur
ther changes make postal gum, and If
the changes were carried to the limit
the result would be grape sugar or glu.
eose. The best postal gum is that which
contains the least unconverted starch
and little glucose. When the material
for making gum reaches the bureau of
engraving and printing it looks much
like flour except in color. 1t comes in
sacks of 200 pounds each, and every
consignment from the contractors Is
carefully inspected before using. 1t Is
subjected to microscopical examination
and to chemical analysis, and ell this is
followed by a practical test-Kansas

Foreign Bodies In the Flesh.

1t IS not an uncommon thing for peo-
pie to carry needles. pins, bullets and
bits Of steel around with them for half
a lifetime, but no one can be found
who would be willing voluntarily to
undertake such a burden. And yet
there are instances where articles
which might seem to be of Il most dam
gcrous character have been carried in
the body for years. y man, in repair
ing 4 building, fell through a window,
breaking the glass and severely cutting
one of his arms The wound was care
fully and antiSeptically dressed, and
the man went about his business.
Three years later he called upon the
doctor who had attended him and COM
planned of Il boil on his wrist. The
physician casually mentioned the in
jury which he had sustained and asked
him if lie suffered any Inconvenience
from it. He answered, NO, not much"
but said that at times there was a Pc
culiar sensation between the elbow
and shoulder. Upon examination the
doctor found long splinter of glass
just ready TO prick through the skin at
a point several inches above the place
where it had originally entered. The
glass was drawn out, the wound prop
erly dressed, and the man recovered,
thereafter being entirely free from the
annoying sharp pains to which he had
for years been subject.

cost will lapse. The other branch goes

NO INTEREST ON PUBLIC FUNDS
Transferred From One Bank

NEW YORK, N. Y, March 9.-S. V.
White, representing the Prison Snip
Martyras' Monument association, of this
city, has been anxious to have trans
ferred to the Nassau National bank Of
Brooklyn $4,000 which is held to the
credit of the secretary of war in the
sub-treasury Of this city, being a part
of the total of $3.50, 900 and the fraction
appropriated by the state of New York
for the erection of a monument to the
memory of those who died in prison
ships in New York harbor during the
war of the revolution. The object of
the move was to derive an income by
the transfer of the fund to a national
bank, which is a depository of public
moneys Secretary Taft, however de-
cided that this transfer could not take
place under the laws. The latter at
tempt to make such transfer as is
desired by the Prison Ship Martyrs
Monument association would lead to an
action against the disbursing officer
and the bank receiving such funds on
the ground of embezzlement.
