GURFEW ORDINANCE
A GOOD THING

Mayor Walters of Stevens Point
announced at a recent meeting of the
city council that the curfew ordi-
nance wiuld soon be put into practi-
cal use. Grand Rapids might follow
suit and enforce its curfew ordinance
This might help the negligent par
ents to keep their children off the
street at night. There would not be
so many cases in the juvenile court
Is We have been having. It is a fact
that in almost every case that has
come up in the Juvenile court, the
parents have admitted that the chill
iren stayed out at night. II. is true
hat thoughtful parents know where
heir children are at all times and
Ire careful about their cIiIdren's as
3ociates, but there are other parents
who do not try to look after the vel
are of their children and it is the
children of these parents who would
be benefited by strict enforcement
Of the curfew ordinance What is
needed, is law, state or national,

CANDELILLA WAX.

Several notes on candeliIla wax, which is
a product Of a species OF Pedilanthns grow
ing in Mexico, have been given, in this vo'-
ulne Of the agricultural Ne~s, on page 2O8,
and in Volume TX, PIP. 1O4, and l24.
Through the courtesy of I'll B. M. Consul
at Tampico, Mexico, planting material of
caudelilla has been obtained by the Imperial
COMMISSIONS of Agriculture. This was for
warded during last June to the Botanic Sta
tions in Antigua, st. Kits and Montserrat,
in order that trials may be made.
Enquiries have since been sent to these
Stations by this Department in order to gain
information as to the progress made by the
plants. In reply Mr. Fl. A. Tempany, B. Sc,
Superintendent of Agriculture, Antigua,
states that plants have been established sue
c~essfully at the Botanic Station in that is
land: Mr. f. r. Shepherd, Agricultural Supe-
fintendent, 81. Kits, makes a similar report
and Mr. w. Robson, Curator of the Montser-
rat Botanic Station, also states that plants
are now growing at that Station, adding that
fhey appear to be capable of being propagat-
ed with great ease. In all cases, however,
fbe specimens have made little growth.
When they have attained d sufficient devel-
onnent. it is intended that the plants In
Antigua shall be used for trials OF the ex-
traction Of the wax.-I0t0.

HIDDEN BANK NOTES IN EssEQUEBO.

Many m interesting story has been told of
money that had been too careful y put away,
forgotten, and discovered after many years.
and long after the person who perhaps had
adopted this plan of bnffling burglars had
departed to another sphere, where there is,
no use for" filthy lucre.
The worst of these stories was that thew
were not true and had their origin in the.
more OF less fertile brain of o writer of fc-
tiOn. Here is one that is absolutely true.
however, and that moreover, is local.
Up till some time ago. there lived in Esse-
quebo u creole woman named Mrs. Stephen
son. Sixty or seventy years ago: about the.
time bank notes were first issued at George
town, she placed notes to- the value of $85 in.
a box amongst some other papers. Having
plenty of money coming to her at the time.
she had DO occasion to open the, box. AS.
time went on the fact that she had secreted.
the notes in this way slipped the good wo-
mans memory altogether, and the box re-
maine i undisturbed up to the time of her
death. Then it passed into the hands Of q.
relative.
It was just one of those small, ANTIQUE.
musty boxes that give one the impression
that they are the receptacles of treasure Of.
some sort. That was the effect it had on.
the relative in question. No time was lost,
therefore, in prising the box open, and
there sure enough, were seventeen SIS notes
as clean and crisp as if they were new, but
with the Directors signatures on. almost,
everyone completely faded. :
1t is Of interest to state that had the 1876,
been deposited sixty years ago in Bank:
paying 3 per cent, instead of the box that
kept it in secret so we'll and had the,
money been allowed to remain there up till
the present., the interest would have. amoun~
ted to over $5OO.-Dena. Argosy, quoted 5,a

License or No License.

Wessington.-The license question
is the overshadowing issue in a mum
Der of the cities and towns of South
Dakota which will hold their annual
elections in April.
One of the hottest of these fights is
being waged in Washington, where the
sentiment is said to be very evenly
divided between license and no-li
cense. The license element believe
they a secure a majority of the
votes at the election, while the tenn
perance forces are equally as confident
that license will fail to capture a ma,
jority of the votes and that Messing,
ton accordingly will take its place as
a dry town after July l next.
The financial side of the proposition
as it relates to the revenue which the
town would derive from the granting
of licenses for saloons promises to
play an important part in the result OF
tn election on the license question.

SoIace in Books.

A woman who used to drag through
the day in a vainglorious effort to kill
time" was persuaded to take recourse
to a circulating library near at hand.
Until this solution of the time prob
lem was virtually thrust upon her she
was ignorant of books, especially cur
rent editions, as she was of the fourth
dimension, though she had been
something of a reader in girlhood days.
After forcing herself to wade through
three volumes, the old love of books,
lying dormant, suddenly awakened to
renewed activity, and the life of the
woman, from being one of many hum
drum days, given to watching the clock
house, has come to be one Of an end
less succession of exciting and inter.
and aimless wandering through the
esting events, while her hours are peo-
pied with an e~veryvarying procession
of unusual personalities which march
through the pages of good fiction.
For her books have given a new zest
to living, and she is anxious to pass
along the suggestion to her sister
stay at homes who have more time
than they can possibly spend.
