How Gloves Grow.

Glover are the unexpanded flower
buds of a beautiful evergreen tree
which grows only in tropical coun-
tries. The buds are at first pale
color and gradually become green,
after which they develop into a
bright red, when they are ready for
collecting.
During the drying process they
are exposed to the smoke of a wood
fire and then to the action of the sun,
which accounts for their dark brown
color when ready for the market.
The Glove tree. which attains a
height of 80 feet, is native of a small
group of islands in the Indian archi-
peligo called the Spice islands. but
in the last four centuries IL has been
carried to all the warmer parts of
the world.
Gloves were one of the principal
oriental spices which early excited
the cupidity of western commerce
communities, having been the basis
of rich and lucrative trade since
the early part of the Christian era.

TALE OF H0MESlCK PONY

Twelve years ago George Lawrence
rode from Menard county, Texas. to
point in Louisiana, 20 miles west
of New Orleans The animal ridden
was native Texas pony. Several
times. shortly after his arrival in Lou
isiana, the pony got out of the in
closure where it was kept and started
back to Texas. one time covering so
miles of the way before it was caught.
Early in January, this year. the pony
was missing, and was believed TO have
been stolen. Search was made at
the time, but no clue to the where
abouts of the pony could be obtained
Then Lawrence got a letter from an
old friend in Menard county, telling
him that the pony had come back
to the plains of Texas and had been
recognized by the brand. The animal
had gone 500 miles between the Lou
isiana point and its old home in Me-
nard county, finding its way back to
its nativity after a lapse OF twelve
years.

The better half of respected citi-

temerity to hale her lord and master
before the court on a charge of having
kissed her against her will. For this
heinous offense this shameless Jersey

Publicity Law Badly Needed.

Connecticut, District of Columbia,
Kansas. Maine, Maryland Michigan,
Mississippi, New Jersey, New York,
Rhode Island and Vermont, have laws
which provide specifically for the re-
porting of tuberculosis and which
make provision for the proper regis
tration of living cases Of this disease.
In fourteen other states, laws or reg
ulations of the state boards of health
require that tuberculosis be reported
simply as one of list of infectious
diseases. The following 20 states and

AER0PLANIST'S AWFUL FALL

An astonishing escape from death
was TIT of Charles F Moreck who the
other day dropped 1000 feet in his
seroplane, and yet received no injuries.
He was flying over the Hudson river,
and when 1000 feet above the water
the motor stopped. Within sight of
thousands he plunged into the river.
In descending his aeropIane side
wiped the mast of a schooner and sank
like stone, carrying Moreck nearly to
the bottom before he released himself.
Although hindered by two pairs of
heavy trousers and sweater he came
TO the surface and kept himself aloat
until taken on board a passing launch.
