POINTS ABOUT THE MAYPoP
Little Known Southern Fruit Posses
ses Medical Virtues Recently
Discovered.

A new fruit that seems likely to
prove of considerable value has been
developed by the cultivation Of the
common "maypop." plant which is
very familiar In the southern states.
quite ornamental easily grown from
seeds and affords a handsome cover
for arbors and verandas. 1t is known
to botanists as passihora incarnata.
The fruit in its improved form is
somewhat bigger than a hens egg
and decidedly palatable It looks like
May apple.
More important, however, is the rec
ognition which the plant has recently
obtained as the source OF a harmless
drug which Is utilized by physicians
as a sleep producer and nerve soothsr.
Unfortunately, most nerve soothing
and sleep producing drugs create hab.
It's which are difficult to throw off and
in their after effects they are liable
to be injurious. But the fluid extract
of the maypop, which is obtained from
the leaves and flowers, while wonder
fully effective as soporiflc, has no
Nemesis. The improved fruit OF the
maypop is available for use both fresh
and preserved. In all likelihood It
will make its appearance before long
in our markets.

INDIANS GIG BIG FISH.
spurn the Use Of Rod and Reel, But
Land Some Great Bass and
Catfish.

The mountain streams OF Indian
territory, which abound in game fish,
principally black bass. have been as
clear as crystal OF late. and the Indians
have been having great sport gigging
them
In a mountain stream In the terri
tory when the water is clear the bot
tom can be seen through six feet of
water, and this makes gigging great
sport for the Indians. They are ex-
perts with the canoe and the gig. and
spurn the finest fishing tackle in the
way OF rod and reel. as It Is too slow
sport for them.
IL Is interesting to watch couple of
Indians gig fish. With the long. slen-
der reed, tipped and barbed with steel,
one Indian leans over the PROV of the
canoe while the other with his paddle
gently and noiselessly lets the canoe
slide up to the big rocks and around
logs In deep water, where the bass and
catfish lie. The Indian carries his gig
uplifted and ready to strike at any
time.
With his face not six inches above
the water. his keen eyes scan the bot
tom, and he will locate bass or cat
1sh lying partly under rock or log
that would never be seen by the aver
age fisherman. The stroke Of the dex-
ferrous arm is like lightning, and In a
nash the fish is speared through and
lifted in the boat.
There Is NO struggling to land him,
NO excitement of winding in the line,
Tor the Indian hunts for game, and not
for sport
An Indian seldom misses his fish
when he throws the gig. And his mo-
ton Is so perfect and his balance so
even that there is scarcely tremor in
the boat, while the amateur is more
likely to not only miss his fish two
ieet, but stand on his head In the wa
ter besides.
