Cochineal, so much used for coloring
table jellies and also given to infants
as domestic remedy for whooping
cough, is the whole insect of class
called coccus, but only the females are
used. Why? Because the insects are
captured by suffocating them with the
smoke of fires below the trees on which
they live, and MS the males have wings.
while the females have none, the gen.
tlemen take to flight when the atmos-
phere becomes unpleasantly warm,
leaving their ladies to their fate.

father has been and is of such a

that when he gives to the world the

brother Frank ''it will not be safe
for John D. to appear on the streets
of any American city," because ''he
would be stoned by the people. :"
Brother Frank AYERS that nothing
but flight to some foreign land
will save John DIS life, when the
whole monstrous truth is known.
Brother Frank confesses that this is
terrible talk from one brother about
another. "But what ] say is literal.

Some Corrections Before Ready

In connection with the schedule for
1907 which the Three-Eye magnates
evolved at Peoria Tuesday through
committee composed of President HOP
land, Wilson Behring and James Az
new, there was arranged a set Of
rules which, among other things pro-
vide that not more than one double
header can be played in any one series.
Where games are transferred from one
city to another the visiting team is 20
get 10 per cent of the grandstand re-
ceipts and half of the gate receipts.
The schedule as framed up by the
committee is a rather rough draft AMI
may require some polishing before it
is ready for use For instance, there
are several conflicts in dates which
will have to be eliminated, and many
of the Sunday games are not indicated.
1t is not believed any changes will be
necessary affecting Rock Islands dates

Planting of Rubber Trees.

The cultivation of rubber trees is or
the increase, and rubber may at TO
distant time become entirely a plan
tatiOn product. 1t is said that there
are in Ceylon over 100000 acres which
have been planted in rubber, and in
the Malay peninsula about half as
much more. 1t is estimated that Mex
co has about 100000 acres planted in
rubber, making in all about 275.O00
acres, which should produce before
long about one-quarter of the world )
probable consumption. The results
from these plantations seem to have
been so successful that the work
might be enlarged, as this would not
only render us less dependent upon
the natural forests, but would stimu-
late the Brazilian rubber producing
states to begin artificial cultivation
