The Department Of Agriculture has
issued a bulletin in which it says that
eucalyptus oil is so useful ana popular
information concerning it is SO meager
that few words concerning it will not
be out Of place. This oil has been used
for about forty years, but only during
the past ten years has it been employed
in medicine very extensively. Its use
is now constantly increasing as it's prop
critics and medicinal value become bet
ter known.
The fact that it is non-poisonous and
non-irritant makes it especially safe
and valuable. As much Of it as a
fourth of an ounce has been taken in
ternally without injury and it may be
freely applied to the most delicate It's
sue. Notwithstanding the fact that 1t
IS neither dangerously poisonous nor
irritating to the human system. it is a
very effective autiseptic ana disiufect-
ant and has come to be used quite ex-
tensiyely for dressing wounds. ulcers
and other diseased tissues. 1t enters
INTO the composition OF several antiSep
tic preparations.
The oil is also a Well-knoWn remedy
for malarial and other feyers ANA is
usedin treating diseases OF the hair and
skin and OF the stomach, kidneys and
bladder, and is especially valuable for
affections Of the throat, bronchi and
lungs.

INDIAN ETIQUETTE Is QUEER

canoe for the Natives.
India Is SO vast that different ETH
quettes prevail in different districts.
We have no standard etiquette, no
standard dress. We mostly copy Euro
pean etiquette while with Europeans.
Even a Bengal shakes hands with a
Bengali, speaks in English for a few
minutes and then breaks forth into the
vernacular. We shake hands with a
European on parting, but by mistake
again touch the hand to the brow In
salaam, 50 we both shake hands, sa-
laam and do the like, and no sober
minded European ever cared for the
anomaly.
The umbrella Is the emblem Of roy
atty, the sign of a rajah. SO natives
generally fold their umbrellas before a
rajah and not before anybody else,
however great. 1t is not a part Of the
Dress but q protection from the rain
or the sun, a necessary appendage, just
like the watch and chain. You might
as well ask a European to take off his
waterproof coat. A coolie is not bound
to fold his umbrella when n brlgadier
general rides past. But a mental gen
orally closes down the umbrella on see
ing his master, whom he considers his
king" But no Indian, however hum
bic, ought to fold up the umbrella,
even before a magistrate, because he
Is neither the master of the humble
passerby nor his superior officer, nor
Is he bound to salaam him. But if he
does, no harm. In word, natives
generally fold the umbrella before a
master or superior officer and not
any other citizen, however great-aud
this is no insult.
While going to see a native chief IN
his palace the native visitor or official
takes Off his shoes If the reception
room has farash and the rajah is sit
ting on his muSnud. But if ne is re-
ceived In the drawing room, furnished
after the European style, the shoes are
allowed. In some states no natives
can go to rajah without q pugree. In
others the pugree Is taken off and toss
ed at the feet OF the rajah.
1t Is ridiculous in a European (from
the Hindu point of view to order
native to take off his shoes. This is
what we ask our priest to do. so that
we may touch the dust of mis- feet. A
munshi when mildly rebulled by his
sahib took off his shoes, but recOunted

he WAS so blinded that he hlinked ana
