Customs of the Old English Court Of

The great forests Of England were
for centuries royal property. They
were kept from settlement and en-

laws u great number of officials were

there were special courts to try cases
Of trespass. poaching and like offenses.

cause it was held that the memories

GATHERING RUBBER.
Tho Sap Is Coasulated by the Action
of Punsent Smoke.

Tho Sap Is Coasulated by tho Action
of Punsent Smoke.
The industry of collecting and pre-
pairing rubber is carried on extensively
in the valley of the Amazon. There are
districts of many square miles owned
and operated by one person. The rub
ber trees are scattered more or less
plentifully among other trees that
yield no profit as yet
When one has secured a large tract
Of forest land for the industry he puts
up rough shelter upon 1t and en-
cages Indian natives of the neighbor-
hood to aid him in the work. Early In
the morning they start out to make
the rounds of the estate, for they must
get back to the riverside before the
heat of the day becomes too great
They tap the trees, attach little tin
cups to catch the sap and take home
whatever sap may be collected.
The sap of the rubber tree Is white
liquid of the consistency of goats milk.
1t is necessary that 1t be converted
Into a solid This is effected by the
action of a pungent smoke that coagu-
lates or curdles the milky fluid For
this use the seeds Of two different
kinds of palm are employed. The seeds
are put in an earthen jar which has a
narrow neck, the bottom of which Is
perforated with number of square
holes. In this the palm nuts are
burned. The holes In the bottom of the
jar admit draft and cause a dense
smoke to issue from the neck.
The operator takes paddle similar
to that with which he paddles his ca
noe and holds the blade of 1t over the
jar. Upon 1t he pours the milky juice,
cup by cup, all the time turning the
blade so as to bring all parts of 1t into
the smoke The fluid is instantly fixed
and adheres to the wood or to the rub
ber already formed. This process 10
continued until solid lump is formed
that will perhaps weigh sixteen
pounds. When the lump has grown
large enough for handling q slit is cut
In 1t and the blade is drawn out A
mass of rubber is left ready for ex-
portation. 1t is the smoke used In
coagulating the sap that gives crude
rubber the dark appearance familiar to
every one
Natives who collect rubber have, Gu
riously enough, little use for the ar
ticle. They do, however, devise play
things for their children by pouring
the sap into clay molds of birds, fishes,
ETC.. and then crushing the clay and
removing it-New York Press.

When Not to Smoke.

By exhausting the salivary secretion
smoking before meals prevents the
physiological action of the saliva on
starchy foods. Smoking just before
going to bed is often followed by in
somnia. because the stomach contains
quantity of unneutralized Juice,
which irritates the mucosa and gives
rise to sensation OF hunger. This
distressing consequence may be avert
ed by taking either some light food or
O little bicarbonate of soda before re-
firing to rest in order to neutralize the
secretion.--London Lancet.

SAVE The PINES
FROM The BEETLE
Government Experts Have
Learned Cause of Destruction
of Timber-The Remedy.

Below Is some valua BILE information ],
on timely subject, which was pub i
Nshsd IN thix paper tsro or rhrv.s. wesi,ry \
ago in a special from The Times-Dis-
patch's Washington correspondent The \
facts and the information are given \
again because they are. or should be, \
OF Intense interest to every owner of \
pine ttmbered lands in Virginia and
the South.
From time to time since 1872. there
have been reports OF more or less ex-
tensive dying of pine timber in the
Southern States.
Extended Investigations of the prob
lem were started by the entomoiogst
Of the West Virginia Experiment Sta
ton in 1891, and continued at intervals
in West Virginia until 1901, and by the
experts on forest insects of the bureau
OF entomology at different times and
in all OF the Southern States from July
1902, until the present time.
The results OF these Investigations
have shown that the death of n large
percentage of the pine of Virginia and
West Virginia in 1880 to 1893 was due
TO an invasion OF the southern pine
beetle, which attacked the healthy
trees and girdled and killed them by
eNcavntlng their long winding burrows
beneath the living bark on the main
trunks OF the trees.
- mas also Decu SHOWN tnat this
beetle has existed in the Southern
states for at least forty years, ana
there Is good evidence that il has oc-
cuDicd this region from time immemor-
ial, but II is only at comparatively
long Intervals that 1t increases to
such numbers as 10 cause widespread
depredations.
During the summer and fall of 1910
and the winter and spring of 1911, cor

the South and especially in the Allan
