Bones of Dead Are Treated With
 Little Respect by Officials.
People of Wealth and Moderate Means Are Able to Have More Atten- tion Shown Remains
 Thrown Into Pile.

Matamoras, Mexico.-The average Mexican cemetery is a grewsome spot. The one at Matamoras is no exception to the rule. The bones of the dead are treated with little respect by the municipalities or men in control of the different burial grounds. The poorer the person is in worldly goods the more ignoble will be the treat ment accorded the bones when he has passed the way of all flesh. Of course, the people of wealth or even moderate means are able to have their bodies cared for in a more or less luXurous manner after death It is the lower class whose crumbling remains are shifted about from place to place and finally fall into dust and are scattered to the four winds.
 The bones of the dead are usually piled in big heaps in the cemeteries of the larger towns. The bodies are given room in regular graves at an- nuai rentals. When the rent lapses the body is moved from it's resting place to give room for some other bodies. The bones of these dispos- sessed tenants are cast into the refuse pile, where they remain until carted away and scattered over the land like they were so much garbage. It is rare that body of the poorer class is kept in grave more than two years.
 Until recently the bone pile in the cemetery at Matamoras was large. It was carted away to give room for a fresh accumulation of nonpaping ten ants of the graves. In one corner of the cemetery are several cheap cask-

AGENTS SELL FARM PRODUCE
Number of Farmers Cooperative As sociations Making Rapid Increase
 All Over Country.

The number of farmers cooperative associations through which produce is marketed is increasing continually. Various fruits and vegetables, grain, tobacco, peanuts, rice and other prod ucts are sold by the agents of such associations, says Market Growers Journal In the state Of Colorado alone there were in 1907 at least thir- ty-three such organizations, and the products handled by them included cantaloupes, peaches, honey, potatoes, and miscellaneous fruits and vegeta- bles. A number of California associa- tions have united to form larger bodies through which sales are made, while the local organizations pack and load the produce.
 At least two produce exchanges have been conducted successfully for a number of years by truck growers of the peninsula lying between the Chesapeake bay and the Atlantic ocean. The cranberry crop is market ed largely through farmers organiza- tions, aud similar associations, too nu- merous to be listed here, are improv- ing conditions of marketing in other parts Of the United States.
 The extent to which the cooperative movement among farmers Is distrib- uted may be illustrated by the apples from Hood River, Ore, which are mar keted in this way; fruits and vegeta- bles from Yuma Valley, Arizona, eel cry from Florida, cantaloupes from Tennessee, onions from central and western Texas. tobacco from Ken lucky, grain from Minnesota and North Dakota, rice from Texas, peaches from Georgia, vegetables from Louisiana, and various articles from Michigan, in addition to a large num- Der of products from California.
 Two of the important results of CO., operation in marketing have been the shipment of better grades of fruits and vegetables, and the command by the farmers of greater influence in the market on account of large quanti- ties of produce being controlled by a single authority.

Marriola, lndestructibIe Desert Plant of Texas, Found to Be of Great
 Commercial Value.

Austin, Tex.-Another desert plant in Texas is found to be of great com mercial value. It is the marriola shrub, which grows profusely in the southwestern part of the state. It is to be used extensively in the manu- facture of a new type of paving block. It will be mixed with asphalt after be- ing reduced to pulp, the two compo- nent parts being then subjected to hydraulic pressure. It is claimed that the plant is practically indestructible. More than 20 years ago irrigation ditches were walled with the pulp of this shrub after it had been subjected to hand pressure, and these water ways are as perfect today as when they were first constructed, it is

 In some of the cemeteries of Mexico are interesting catacombs that have been in use for two or three centuries. Guanajuato is widely noted for it's catacombs. A large underground chamber in the cemetery in that city is filled with solemn rows of standing skeletons. Some of these bodies are mummified and are of lifelike appear ance. This chamber of horrors was formerly a favorite visiting place for curious minded American tourists The grinning skeletons occupied va riety of poses, the keeper of the cem- etery deriving no little amusement in exercising his ingenuity in making the silent occupants of the cavern as ter

Artificial Shower of "Peepers" Puts Sudden End to Blaze on Con-

Greenwich, Conn.-When fire broke out in the farmhouse of Lawrence De. lucia, the auto steamer from Mianus got to the fire in good season, but in a few minutes the firemen used up all the available water and were in quandry. They began a hasty search for pools. Finally one of them came back and reported a small pool. "It's just a mess of peep frogs,'" he said to the foreman. About five hundred gallons of peppers and two hundred gallons of water"
 "All right" replied the foreman, pump the peppers on, maybe they'll do."

 The manufacture of the new style of paving blocks from marriola and asphalt will be conducted by Z w. Cannon of San Antonio. He has just entered into contract with the state of Texas for the purchase of all the marriola growing upon the public lands in Presidio and Brewster coun- ties for $1,000
 It has been known for some time that the marriola shrub contains a considerable per cent of rubber. Un- der the old system of extracting rub Der from the guyaule shrub 1t was not found profitable to utilize the mar riola shrub for this purpose, but re cent discovery has been made in Mex. ico for extracting the rubber from these shrubs by which it is claimed the marriola can be made to yield very profitable returns.

The turtle was right in their midst and was so bad ly frightened that it made for shore, with the boys following. When all came to shallow water the turtle was pried out of the mud and taken home to verify the extraordinary adventure.
 Professor Barlow of the college zoo logical department saw the reptile and said it was by far the largest of it's kind he has ever seen. He also said that it probably is of great age and thought that it must have seen the great swamp first in 1875.

Baltimore, Md.-Visitors to the Oral Hygiene Exhibit in Mccoy hall looked upon the only set of false teeth that George Washington wore.

Cooperative Trucking.

Cooperative trucking associations are becoming very numerous. They have distinct advantages which should not be overlooked. These associations are generally managed by shrewd busi- ness men who understand the markets and they usually procure better prices than is possible when the individual growers operate separately. One of the strongest associations in the country is at Freehold N j. It was the means of materially increasing profits of the growers in that section last year.
