LATEST Thing
Made From a Bean Grown in Mexico
and Said to be More Deadly Than
the Poppy.

Ell PASO, Tex, August 21.-The
American and Mexican governments,
it is learned from a Mexican officer,
will cooperate in an effort to stop
the sale OF the peyote bean and to
eradicate the plant. The bean is a
powerful narcotic and intoxicant-
more so than opium or whisky and
much more injurious.
1t is found in only a small section
forty miles from Nuevo Laredo in
Mexico and a small area near Laredo,
Texas.
Indians and the lower classes of
MeXicans have become addicted to
its use and it is gradually extending
to the whole country. The bean is
chewed and the juice swallowed. The
first effect is complete unconscious
ness. The subject for several hours
enjoys delightful dreams and visions.
This is followed by several hours of
Complete prostration
and sometimes death ensues.

not long continued, and after a few
thousand hides had been shipped from
the Gulf States the demand ended
During the Civil War another raid
was made upon these saurians to sup

slaughtered in thousands, but with the
cessation of hostilities and the restor-
alton of free commerce in shoe mate
rial the alligators we're again left to
repose for period.
The rest, however was only temper
airy, for about 1869 tickle fashion again
called for the leather for manufactur-
ing into fancy slippers, boots, travelling
bags. belts. card cases, music rolls and
so forth. An immense demand was
soon created for it, resulting in the
slaughter of many thousands of the
animals every year giving employment
to hundreds of men. The demand soon
exhausted the productive capacity of
this country and large numbers of skins
were imported from Mexico and Cen
trail America
The consumption OF this leather at
present is greater than ever before,
and owing to the large importations
the market price is somewhat less than
a few years ago. The output of the
tanneries of the United States approx

on the back to the smooth, pliable
markings on other parts of the body,
giving the skin that peculiar effect
which makes 1t so popular for leather
purposes.
