Castor Oil.

The castor bean is native Of India.
The United States produces most Of
the coarser kind Of oil, while all the
finest comes from Italy. Common cas-
tor oil is of an ugly greenish tinge and
has to be allowed to stand in the sun
to bleach, but the Italian article Is
beautifully clear when first cold
drawn. Cold drawn oil is the best. 1t
is got by crushing the fresh seeds be-
tween steel rollers. The castor oil
plant can be grown in England, but
there it is an annual. In southern
Italy it becomes a tree twenty feet
high and strong enough for a child to
climb up into it.

Just Missed the Penitentiary

Paul Lapier drew a check on the
Tumwater Savings bank last August for
$25. He had no funds at the time
and was brought into court. Accord
ing to the old law OF 1908 he would
have been subject to penitentiary
charge. At the last session of the
Legislature an omnibus misdemeanor
law was passed that made the present
offense, when concerning amounts not
over $25, misdemeanor. AS Lapier's
check was $25, instead OF $25.05, he
goes to the county Jail for 30'days and
pays a fine of $25.-Wenatchee World.

A Tax Appeal.


The State Board of Equalization OF
Taxes sat at Camden, on Friday, to hear
appeals. There was one from this county,
that of Camden city from an assessment
on lands in Palmyra.
There is a tract on the outskirts of
Palmyra that was for long time owned
by corporation known as the Palmyra
Filtrated Water Company. The idea was
that some day good water might be
Sc ured from this tract, but as speculation
the scheme failed and nobody seemed to
care to purchase or to sink wells. The
land was assessed at So per acre.
After awhile the city of Camden, which
had established water plant nearby, got
notion the tract in question might be
worth something to their holdings So
they sent an engineer out to prospect.
He sank well, made test, and the re-
suit was sufficiently satisfactory to cause
the city of Camden to hunt up mortgage
of 5000 on the property and buy it.
Afterwards it was found that there would
have to be sale by the Sheriff, and that
procedure was taken, Camden buying in
the property at slight advance over the
original figures.
Assessor Blackburn, last year, increased
the assessment to somewhere near the
purchase price and Camden thought that
was outrageous At the hearing before
the County Board the officials who
represented Camden stated the ground
was not worth the price it was assessed at,
as 1t had been discovered that good water
could not be obtained, but in reply to a
question whether the city would sell at
the assessed value, one of the witnesses
who said he had authority to speak. re-
piled that the property would not be sold
at those figures, Camden preferring to
hold it. as it might be valuable for water
purposes some day, and the city desired
to protect itself against sewage.
Having heard the testimony the County
Board took the view that the assessment
was not too high. One of the first
brought to the notice of that
body was this piece of land. and after ex-
aiming 1t the County Board reached the
that it was not assessed too
low. But there was a change An ex-
pert examined the land. reported it was
worth nearly $1,000, and on his report the |
city of Camden purchased it. This was
thought to give it commercial value.
At the hearing before the State Board
the engineer who testified at Mount Holly, |
was absent, and the only witness was the
city solicitor, whose evidence was not just |
exactly like what was presented to the
County Board. The State Board will |
render its decision to-day.

Mangled by Circular Saw.

The frightful experience of nearly
having his legs sliced off by circular
saw was the narrowing ordeal experienced
by j. Warren Wonderful, aged 81 years,
of Moorestown, late Wednesday afternoon.
Escaping that calamity he neYerless suf-
fered injuries that will keep him in the
hospital for many weeks.
Young Wonderful has an uncle who
runs saw mill at Marlton. Wednesday
afternoon late, accompanied by some
companions, Wonderful visited the mill,
which was not in operation at the time.
Just for fun the young man started the
saw going and while romping about the
dangerous machine Wonderlin tripped
and fell across 1t, hisi legs coming in
direct contact with the rapidly revolving
apparatus.
The blood-curdling screams of the I'm
fortunate man at once drew attention to
his terrible plight and as quickly as pos
sible the saw was stopped and the i'm
periled man rescued from the blood-drip-
ping steel fangs of the continuance, with
both legs apparently crunched off at the
knees.
Local treatment was applied by a
Marlton physician to ease the victims
sufferings and he was sent in to Cooper
Hospital on the first train, the ambulance
meeting him at Broadway station. When
the hospital was reached In three-minute
clip, the mangled patient was, without
moments delay, despatched to the operat-
ing room for immediate attention.
An examination of the young mans
wounds showed that the ripping teeth of
the circular saw had actually showed
their way through the skin and flesh of
both of his legs at point just above the
knees, clear to the bone. In addition one
of the legs was found to be fractured and
his hands were also pitifully lacerated.
The attending surgeons sewed up the
ugly gashes in the patients legs and put
the broken limbs In splints, the operation
being so successful that 1t was said that
Wonderful would not lose the limbs.
At last accounts he was said to be rest
ing in fairly good condition for one who
had sustained such shocking injuries and
his ultimate recovery, although 1t will be
remote, is confidently looked for

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA
Cameo Kirby" a picturesque and
thrilling romance of the south in the
early thirties, will be given its first pre-
sentation at popular prices by the Or
pheum Players at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, this week. Origin
ally this drama, written by Booth Tark-
ington and Harry Leon Wilson, served as
a starring vehicle for Nat Goodwin, and
later for Dustin Farnum 1t was pro-
duced by Liebler & Co. The play is par
ticularly suited to the Orpheum Company
because of the equal division of splendid
parts, and because the title role, that of a
fascinating gambling gentleman, a cavalier
of chance who piled his profession on the
Mississippi River, will afford Wilson Mel
rose one of the best characters he has
ever assumed. The story of Cameo
Kirby" the gambler, who is nick-named
Cameo" because of his lavish display o.
that stone, is intensely absorbing, and
possesses qualities that must appeal to al
who love the romantic. Mr.. Melrose a:
the titular character and Marion Barney
as the heroine will have roles in which
they will be seen at their best. The cas-
will further include all the fayorites o
the company. A picturesque mounting o
the play is assured by stage director Perc,
