PROFIT IN GOLDEN SEAL.
A Woodland Crop That May Be Culti-
waited With Little Trouble.

Speaking of plants that may be cul-
tivated with little trouble and with
profit to the grower. writer In
Green's Fruit Grower advises those
who have u bit of unused woodland or
underbrush TO plant golden seal. He
considers It one of the most remuner-
uifvv Of plants TO raise and says that
it requires very little care.
The roots Of this plant sold fifteen
years ago at 80 cents pound. The
price has steadily advanced. The root
is now worth $3.50 Il pound. and the
dry leaves and stems now sell for %
cents a pound 1t is one of the most
widely used drugs known to the mod
ern pharmacopoeia.
At the end of three years you can
sort out the mature roots from the
young ones and wash and dry them
for sale, while you put the young roots
back in the ground. AT the end Of
the three years the grower has year
ly crop of roots, and. beginning with
the first year he has a yearly crop of
leaves and stems. This is one of tire
crops on which there is an absolute
certainty of market that will run
after you as soon as any golden seal
buyer knows you have the goods to
sell. Go and ask your druggist or your
doctor about the value of golden seal.

THEY LIKE PRISON LIFE.
A Class of Persons In Japan Who Try

sham confessions in order to obtain a

of the capital has words to describe
and distinguish these persons. 'Meshi-
kui,' or the rice criminal, will steal
some small article from a shop front
in such way as to be seen doing it.
He then makes a bolt of it, pursued by
the master of the shop, or some faith
full kozc, but presently allows himself
to be caught and handed to the po-
lice. He has to do time for his pre-
tended theft, but his rice is secured
for period, and when that period has
elapsed he will allow himself to he
caught again.
The 'unandon. or 'eebowr criminal
is wiier than the one just mentioned.

HOW WOUNDS HEAL.
Natures Processes Play Large Part
In the Operation.


In the Operation.
Few people have any idea of the
wonderful process by which wounds
heal. Stitching, dressing, etc, are i'm.

can make good the damage or replace
the loss of tissue in wound This Is
the work of our good friends in the
blood, the white corpuscles. the "scav-
cngers," so called because they destroy
disease germs.
When a wound is made, bone
broken, n nerve torn, etc, ii is chiefly
by these corpuscles finding their way
out of the blood vessels into the sur
rounding tissues that the injuries by
bullet or bayonet are repaired The
union of broken bones, nerves, sian,
etc, is effected by the corpuscles find.

to keep the torn tissues of the wound
in what is surgically called "opposi.

In this tissue, in the case of broken
bone. bone salts are deposited; where
nerves have been torn by bullet nerve

in the course Of healing contract, and
it is by that power of contraction that
the edges of wound are brought to
