One of the most curious plants IN

brush plant of Jamaica. 1t is a species
of creeper. and has nothing striking

pieces of it to a suitable length and
fraying the ends, the natives convert
it into a toothbrush; and a tooth pow
der to accompany the use of the brush
is also prepared by pulvertzing the
dried stems.

which is a most unprecedented way
for well-regulated corner to act, es-

The main reason for the failing of
the corner and the escape of many
shorts from the promised squeezing
is that the Chicago board of trade
permitted Waterman and his asso.
ciates to learn that no squeezing Of
the shorts would be tolerated and that
the creation of an artificially high
price on the closing day of the option
would result in some one being sus-
pended from membership.
The closing prices of the July op-
