RAW DRUGS.
Castor Oil Comes as Pretty Little
Brown and Black Bean.
St. Louis Republic.

St. Louis Republic.
Upon going into a pharmacy and
looking over the mysterious Jars and
bottles and boxes that line the shelves
did you ever wonder where on earth
all of the drugs came from and how
they appeared before they were
ground up and made into oils or
dried or pulverized or crystallized
into queer shaped Jumps? Each jar
and box seems to hide some secret
which YOU Immediately become cur
ious to solve. How many different
lands do they represent? And, sfter
they leave the jars that hold them,
now, what are they made Into?
Who, for example, would connect
a great pile Of dry, thin twigs, neatly
tied into small bundles, with sarsa-
parilla? These twigs are the creep
ing roots and rootlets of prlckly
shrub that grows in Janai "a, and
they are worth from 10 10 30 cents
a pound.
Somewhat similar in appearance IS
ipecacuanha, which also comes - Us
in dry twigs, which are part Of the
trailing root Of plant found in the
damp forests Of Brazil.
These roots receive no preparation
save driving before they are shipped
off to the United States. They are
packed in largs sacks, and the work
men who open the bales must beware
Of breathing the pungent, irritating
dust given off, which is productive of
unpleasant results if incautiously in
hailed.
Castor oil, too, is hard to recognize
in the pretty little brown bean, spot
ted with black and with polished
skins, that arrive in bags from India.
They look far too attractive to sug-
eest the much hated dose Of our
early days.
Aloes, the base Of many nauseous
medicines, may be seen in its crude
form as a solid mass resembling
brown sealing wax, packed in heavy
wooden boxes, from which it is chop
ped out in flakes with chisel and
hammer.
It is Of different qualities and prlc-
es, according to whether it comes
from Arabia, Socotra or the West In
dies. and many bring any sum from
81 to S45 per hundredweight. Aloes
is the juice of the big fleshy leaves
of the plant Of that name. The juice
is pressed or evaporated from the
leaves and poured into chests or kegs
in a semifluid state, hardening pres
emily into a solid block. Not infre-
quently it is inclosed in the dry skins
of monkeys and in this strange form
brought to market.
One of the most interesting of
drugs is opium, both on account Of its
awful potency and by reason OF its
great value. A case of opium, about
.225 pounds, is worth $4O0 roughly.
The case IS e rough deal lined with
tin and contains a number Of s5f'.,
dark lumps,. like large handfuls OF
dough packed very closely together
in a quantity of dry, chaffy seeds.
The opium which reaches America
is of two qualities, one for medicine,
and other for smoking, and comes
from Persia and Asia Minor, China

MARK TWAIN'S LITTLE JOKE.
Possibly Chief Justice Fuller Will Not Be Pleased at Sentiment Ex-
 pressed in His Name.

Mark Twain was waiting for a street car in Boston, when young girl approached him, smiling. She was lovely girl, fresh, blooming, in genuous, bubbling with enthusiasm, and evidently on her way home from school
 Pardon me-" she said q know it's very unconventional, but I may never have another chance Would you mind giving me your autograph?"
 Glad to do it, my dear child," said MT Clemens, drawing out his foun- tain pen.
 Oh it's so good of you" gurgled the girl You know, I've never seen you but once, Chief Justice Fuller, and that was at a distance; but I've seen your portrait so often that 1 rec ognized you the moment I saw you nere.
 "Um-m-m-mm, said Mr Clem- ems. non-committally Then he took from her eager hands her nice little autograph album, and wrote in bold script the words:
 It is delicious to be full.
 But it is. heavenly to be Fuller.
 I am cordially yours,

GINNERS' COTTON REPORT

Memphis, Tenn, July 20.-J. A.. Taylor, president of the National Gin ners' Association, Monday afternoon issued the following special report on the cotton crop: Reports from about half our correspondents under aver age date of 16th, indicate a condition of 72 and under. This is the lowest condition ever known at this date. Some sections of Alabama show slight improvement, but others show dete- rioration. Texas shows deterioration on account of severe drouth and hot winds Scattered rains have fallen since those reports, but in most cases have come too late, as reports show that cotton has stopped growing in most sections and is shedding forms and small bolls. It is the concensus of opinion that rains now will only make the plant shed nor reapidly and there is very little chance to make a crop from the new growth on account of the weevil. Heavy rains in Georgia and the Carolinas have caused small loss in condi- ton in that section. Oklahoma shows considerable loss in about half the state due to hot, dry weather, the other half about holds it's own. Re ports from the weevil district are that the damage being done now is very much less than in June, but with rains the damage will increase.

The Waterway Question.

Washington, July 20.-Co-operation between railways and waterways seems absolutely necessary to insure a reasonable and efficient use of the inland Watercourses of this country. This conclusion is reached in the re- port of Herbert Knox Smith, commits sioner of corporations, in Part II of his discussion of the subject of Transportation by Water" which his bureau has been Investigating for many months. The second part of the report was transmitted to President Taft. It deals with traffic by water, and portions of it are particularly significant. It is pointed out by Con- missioner Smith that "it is a public system of the United States should be, as now, at odds with itself through destructive competition, while the transportation needs of the public suffer-" Traffic in itself" the re- port continues, "is necessity for the proper development of waterway
 State and Federal work must be sup plemented by private initiative, es- Eecially in terminals and equipment
 and private initiative will come in only when there is reasonable chance of enough traffic to make it profitable

 The most successful remedy in this country for the cure of all forms of female complaints is Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound. It has stood the test of years and to-day is more widely and successfully used than any other female remedy. It has cured thousands of women who have been troubled with displacements, infam- nation, alteration, fibroid tumors, ir- regularities, periodic pains, backache, that bearing-down feeling, fiatulency, indigestion, and nervous prostration, after all other means had failed.
 If you are suffering from any of these ailments, don't give up hope until you have given Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound trial.
 If would like special advice write to Mrs. Pinkhan, Lynn, Mass, for it. She has guided thousands to health, free of charge.

Janet had nodded the domestic af- fairs of the family with whom she lived for so many years that the news of her intended marriage had much the effect of an earthquake. Have you and David been engaged long?" ventured the mistress of the house hold.

 ''And-and had you any thought of marrying before that?" asked her mis- tress.

But month ago when I gave David wee bit of the cake I'd been making and he said to me: : Janet, have you the recipe firm in your mind, lass, so you could make it if Mrs. Mann's book would be far from your reach?' I knew well the time was drawing short.

Conscience Forces Confession.

Little Rock, July 20.-Worried into a physical wreck by the bangs of his conscience and the ever present fear of arrest, Joe Novok, who confesses himself a defaulting treasurer of Modern Woodmen local in Chicago, yesterday walked into the office of Chief of Police McMahon and surren- dered himself with request that he be taken back. The dedication oc- cured Il months ago and Novok had apparently clearly escaped, but the sense of wrong clung to him long af- ter he was free from the pur,uit Of the law. He travelled from sea to sea, from North to South, in an effort to forget and begin life anew. But the shadow of the past darkened his way, no matter where he fled At last he arrived in Hot Springs in search of the health of which his breeding had robbed him. For week he remained there but could find no change The old troubles were not to be shaken off, and yesterday in de spair he came to Little Rock and sur rendered himself after telling the story of his embezzlement.

White Slave Case Decided.

Chicago, July 20.-Ella Gingles was cleared by jury this morning from the charge of stealing lace, but the story she told on the witness stand of being a white slave victim was denounced as untrue. The verdict was a fitting climax to the series of sensations that have followed the little Irish lacemaker. This was the form: We, the jury, find the de- fendant not guilty and we, the jury, further find that the charges made against Miss Agnes Barrette were un- founded and are untrue" The basis of the defense made by the Gingles girl, who was on trial for stealing lace from Miss Barrette, was that she and others had attacked and mistreat- ed her in the Wellington hotel on two occasions last winter and that the ob- ject of these attacks and the animus back of the theft charge was the at- tempt to sell her to an unnamed man in French Lick Springs, Ind.

 q reckon I ain't got nothin' to say white folks,' he said with humility, " "'ceptin' hits jes laik it is.'
 Well, since you admit your guilt, !" said the judge, q will try to make it light for you. But first we will have to get an estimate of the value of the clothing. Mir. Plaintiff, what do you value these articles at?"
