APPLE NURSERIES FOR SCHOOLS.
Practical instruction in Tree Culture for
Children.

The East Suffolk education committee
has struck out a new line by establish
ing apple nurseries in connection with
the various school gardens, from which
laborers and cottagers are supplied with
healthy young fruit trees at a nominal
price.
An instructor was sent around to a
number Of schools to induct the children
into the mysteries of grating and bud
ding until they became just as competent
as their instructor. Great benefit has
been conferred by enabling villagers to
acquire apple trees very cheaply, with
the result that orchards are being es-
tablished, and in one village alone there
are over 500 trees.
Between 1000 and 5000 young trees
are now in stock, and it is intended TO
produce another thousand this year
Canon Abbay, the enthusiastic head of
the very successful Framlingham Agri-
cultural Cooperative society, is superin-
tending this effort to rehabilitate the To-
cal fruit ndustry.-London Standard.

A correspondent of the Boston Globe
gives this explanation of the old SUI
perstition against walking under
ladder In former days, when hang
ing was done after a more primitive
and simple fashion than it is to-day,
the victim had generally to pass under
the ladder which stood against the gal
lows for the convenience of the eXecu-
ton, and he passed under that ladder
with the fair certainty of being imm7-
diately hanged. What the unhappy
criminal could not avoid the average
pedestrian avoids to-day, even at the
expense of his polished boots. by turn

SOME MARRIED NEGOTIATIONS
By Clarence L. Cullen.


1t doesn't hurt any to express occa-
sional surprise over the (maybe) fact
that she still remains as a girl at
heart.
Don't overlook the fact that the CIR
thier and wheeler she gets the more
she likes to have you call her win
some" once in a while.
Why is It that the woman whose
ears resemble sun-dried clans is the
one who experiences the keenest han
kering for those big pendant ear
rings?
1t is difficult for a man to under
stand why he should be required to
wear toeless hose when his wife puts
in about nine hours day needing
Irish crochet lace.
Why is 1t that dandrufHness, llnty-
featheriness and general unkempt
blowsiness are the unfailing exterior
characteristics of the woman who walls
about her Shattered ideals?"
The woman whose husband goes out
before breakfast and fetches home an
armful OF lilacs for the breakfast Ia
BILE doesn't have to worry about his
curves when he's out of her sight
either.
In the first place, a man couldn't be
induced to eat fudge and pickles in
alternate mouthfuls. But If he could
be. he wouldn't loll around a little
later on, wondering what in the wide
world allied his stomach.

WAX FROM A MEXICAN WEED
The Once Despised CandeIIIIa Nov

The Once Despised CandeIIIIa Nov,
Worth $500 or More an Acre.
The discovery by Oscar FGoinq NJ
Monterey of a process for extracti7z
wax from the candelilla weed is cans.
ing the establishment of a new indgs.
try in Mexico and Texas. The can.
delilla grows abundantly upon many
millions of acres of semi-arid land in
Northern Mexico aud parts of Texas
Arizona and New Mexico. Land owners
who have this formerly despised wesd
growing upon their holdings are now
in fair way to reap a fortune, Mon.
terey (Mexieo) correspondent OF the
New York Sun says.
When it was discovered a few wears
ago that a good grade of crude ruh
Der could be manufactured from .ha
guayule shrub experiments began n
be made by Mr. Pacius and others with
various other kinds of wild vegetation
to learn if they possessed commercial
properties. Mr.. Pacius found that the
candelilla contained wax to the amount
of 31a to Az per cent. He gathered
supply of the plants and began ey-
periments with a view of arriving at
a process of economical extraction Of
the wax. He perfected this process q
few months ago and it is now in pgac
tical operation.
The manufacture of this vegetable
wax is already on a paying commercial
basis. The demand for the product
comes at this time chiefly from Ger
many The present price Of the wax
in Mexico is 5000 gold a ton. 1t is
said that it takes about thirty tons Of
the weed to make one ton of the crude
wax. The cost of producing a ton of
wax is SIS gold
The land upon which the candelilla
weed grows profusely is producing a
big revenue in the localities where
factories have been established. It is
said that where land is well set in the
plant it can be made to yield a profit
of 5000 to $500 gold an acre a year.
The candelilla wax is said to be.
harder than any other wax This fact
has caused 1t to be in demand for the
manufacture of photograph records,
pharmaceutical articles, varnishes,
shoe, leather and wood polishes, Ursula.
ton In electrical wiring, gums, candles
and many other things.
The fact that the guayule shrub and
the candelilla plant are now known to.
contain valuable commercial properties
has aroused the interest of the federal
authorities of Mexico and it is said
that series of chemical experiments
and tests of the various other desert
plants which cover great stretches Of
land in Northern Mexico will be made
under the direction of the government
with view of discovering any com
mercial properties that they may con
tain. One plant which grows profuse-
ly along the Rio Grande is called
gubernador and is being used extern
sively for the manufacture of boiler
compound. There arc also two or three
kinds of shrubs and weeds which pos.
sess cleansing properties almost iden-
tical in effect with washing soap. The
roots of these shrubs are used by the
native MeXicans to the exclusion Of
manufactured soap.
