Much sickness is due to nerv-
Gus troubles. Headache, dir
illness, epilepsy and insanity are
nervous troubles. Then there
is a large class of disorders
which arise from a weakness of
the nerves of an organ or part,
as weak lungs, heart, stomach,
kidney, bladder, eyes, etc.
Dyspepsia and indigestion are
usually the result of nervous
disorders.

Three Great Propositions.

The education of the boy and girl
today, in our humble Judgment, re-
ceiyed from the public schools of our
country, must be based upon the
three great propositions Humanity,
with all its surroundings: Honesty,
Industry. The feeling of humanity
that is planted in the breast of the
boy and girl by the benefcient rays
that come from the teacher, Will live
forever; it matters not in what walk
in life it may be; whether i'll the
school room, counting house, shop,
farm or profession. The humane
tartan ideas that are inculcated in
their mind while attending school,
remain forever. Ii these are based
upon the thought that the feelings
of a fellowman must be respected,
that the ties of kinship and fellow
ship are among the most beautiful
and ennobling that can be planted
in our hearts; if beyond all this, if
the boy and girl are taught to look
higher than the things of this world,
then one of the foundation stones
upon which education is based, is Sc
cure and the state is safe.
The common schools of our land
must instill in the minds of every
boy and girl the element of honesty;
honesty to himself; honesty to his
neighbor; honesty to his country.

How 1t Is Grown ard Gathered on Tho
Hills Near Florence.

Most people know that orr!s root
is one of the chief ingredients Of
violet powder; many others are we'll
acquainted with the strangely shap-
ed pieces of white root that seem
like dried ginger which give out the
delicate and subtle scent of the VIC
let, and perhaps the privileged few
know hat it is made from the roots
Of a kind of iris.
"Never have l seen the cultiva-
ton of the iris and the preparation
of orris root to such perfection as
last summer in the Tuscan Apen-
mines. where Vallombrosa lifts its
pine covered head,'' SAYS writer in
the London Queen. ION the sunny
side of the mountain lies the whole
district of the Val d'Arno, and be-
tween Saltino and Plan di SEQ the
entire neighborhood is given up to
the cultivation of vines, olives and
iris.
Indian corn, wheat and millet
find place, but wine, oil and orris
root are the three commercial in
dustrics. Pergolas Of vines stretch
along as far as the eye can see
vines with clusters of purple or
white grapes, olives laden with
green berries and under them and
between them little plantations of
Iris lalmatica.
E'Ihe iris, or giaggolo. as it is
called in Italy: is planted thinly and
allowed TO grow for three years.
when the roots are rug ZIP and tied
in big bundles. These are then pre-
pared. Nearly the whole Of the
tuberous root is cut off. leaving
only tiny bit With fbers in order
that the plant may grow when re-
planted, as it is at once for another
three years of peace.

house or under the pergolas in the
shade of the vines. begin the bust
ness of peeling them previous to
their being dried in the sun for the
market. Everybody is busy with the
small sickle shaped knives trimming
the iris root. In its fresh condition
it is sold for about 20 ccntimes the
kilo, about 2 cents pound. But
after a few days exposure to the
brilliant italian sunshine on large
wickerwork trays it loses two-thirds
of its weight and is sold to the
wholesale merchants At 8 cents q
pound"
