OIL is SCARCE AND HIGH.
Product OF the Skunk in Maine an

Commerce.

Neither tradition nor the memory of

Prospect was not the skunk oil metrop-

angleworm oil and snake oil ran skunk
oil close race for leadership Prospect
maintained its reputation for produc-
Ing more skunks TO the acre and fatter
skunks than any other town. In the
days OF the civil war Gen. Heagan. a
veteran of the conflict with Mexico,
gained a reputation for benevolence
and a small fortune by extracting the
oil from skunks and sending It to the
army hospital for the relief Of the
stricken troops.
The harvest Of skunk oil for 1906 has
been very much below the average, due.
II is said. TO the fact that last June and
July were cold and wet, and as grass
hoppers hatch in those months the
weather killed most of the insects in
infancy. thus cutting of the food sup
ply Of the skunks. AS an Offset for the
poverty in yield. the selling price Of the
oil has advanced from 81 to IS a gallon,
and buyers are busy collecting all the
job lots on hand. In average years a
fair-sized skunk would yield a quart OF
pure oil. which was worth 81. and this
sum added to the SO cents to 50 received
for the pelt made skunk hunting an i'm.

their sons.

The practice Of selling adulteratel

that they will ask the next legislature

HOW INDIANS CURE CORN.

with the long ears, says the Southern
Workman.
A mother impatient at the tardiness

why arc you so slow." I'm coming!"
answers a girlish voice from the fur
ther end Of the field. but she does not
come. Again the mother calls: THE
fire Is ready. why don't you hurry?''
I'm comIng:" shouts the maiden.
There is rustling OF the leaves OF
the stalks. and she does really come;
she starts to tell tele OF excuse. but
the mother quickly emptIes the bag
giving no heed to the story. and be-
gins TO remove the outer layers OF
husk from the ear. Then she places
them In a row on the live Goals in the
ditch and turns them over with a
stick.
When the thin layers OF husk are
scorehed the woman with her stick
deftly tosses the ears out of the ditch.
In the meantime the daughter con-
tinues her task with more or less de-
lay. until sufficient quantity of corn
is gathered for the days work. After
the roasting of all the ears the
scorched husks are removed and the
grains of corn are separated from the
cob by the use of the sharp-edged
shell Of the fresh water mussel. The
grain is then spread on skins and put
out In the sun to dry The corn
prepared in this manner is called
sweet corn by the Indians. Enough
is cured in this way to last the family
wnole season.

UNEMPLOYED WoRkINcMEN.
Question Which Gives the Govern
ments Of Europe Much
Uneasiness.

The problem Of the unemployed
workingman Is one Of the most impor-
tant questions OF the day in several Eu-
ropean countries. Among the measures
introduced by the government at the
British parliament. says Youths Com
panion. was a bill for the relief Of the
unemployed. but it did not become a
law. The Belgian minister Of labor has
published a document setting forth the
facts in his country. and measures have
been adopted for the solution OF the
problem in Sweden. Hungary and
Russia.
The most significant Of recent eontri-
buttons to knowledge Of the subject
is the report OF a committee OF the
French chamber OF deputies on the con-
dltions in France It shows by numer-
Gus facts and figures that the introduce
tion Of machinery and foreign COMPETE
tion have made It impossible for the
small farmer 10 earn livelihood by the
cultivation Of his land Consequently
he sells his two or three acres TO the
large proprietors, and drifts to the city.

The only remedy suggested in the re-
port for this disastrous exodus is to give
the yillager and farmer employment

Attention is called TO the methods
adopted in Russia for fostering the earn
Ing capacity Of the rural population.

can earn small sums away from the
