The Lacquer Crop.

It is a popular notion that the val
liable varnishes known as lacquers ara
vegetable products that exude from
various trees of India and the East
when their twigs are punctured by a
cochjneal insect.
One kind Of gum is, however, actual
ly produced by the insect itself. The
minute larvae begin to secrete the gum
as soon as they puncture the tender
bark and begin to suck the plant juices.
In favorable circumstances the red Sc
c~etion gradually envelops the larva in
a hard lump, which protects it from
attack. Frequently, however, the
larvae are so crowded that a mass of
,gum is formed, and then the unpro.
tected larvae gradually die of starva.
ton or exposure.
Experiments have shown that If the
larvae were transferred at the proper
season to punches of straw fastened to
twigs in favorable situations, the
larvae would migrate to the tender
branches under the best conditions.
The discovery has greatly increased
the production of lacquer in India.

Uncertain Humanity.

''Briefly stated" we explained, "the
story of Enoch Arden was about as fol-
lows: He went to sea and was ship
wrecked on an uninhabited island
where he remained for several years.
When at last he was rescued Mr..
Arden put out for home with consid-
cradle rapidity, only to find that dur
ing his absence Mrs. Arden had mar
ried again. What do you suppose
was his subsequent action?"
"Hard to figgeri" replied Mr.. Gap
johnson of Rumpus Ridge, who had
been listening with deep interest to
the recital. "You can't tell which way
a toad will jump when you poke him,
and folks is just as peculiar. Probly
he either took a shot at his wife's
second husband or else borrowed
enough money off'n him to get back to
his uninhabited island, and wouldn't
bet a nickel on either horn of the
what-d'ye-call itT'-Kansas City Star.

PATHETIC PLIGHT OF RATS
on Board Ship, Weeping--SaiIors
Also Affected.

A very fishy rat story has been go.
ing the rounds of the American press,
although part of it is undoubtedly cor
rect and can easily be verified. The
story circles around the arrival in
New York of the French steamship
Vile du Havre, consigned from a
Spanish port with a cargo of onions.
Members of the crew on arrival de
clared that they had all been weeping
since the voyage first commenced
owing to the painful effects onions
have on the eyes, many of them being
forced to sleep on deck. The quar-
termaster of the vessel carries the
tragedy to a still higher point and sol
emnly declares that on one occasion
when he went down the fOrehOld to
get coil of rope he perceived hundreds
of rats sitting in a circle around the
onion sacks, pathetically rubbing their
beady-black eyes with their paws.

BIRTHDAY OF GREAT JUDGE.
Samuel Freeman Miller Born One Hun.
dred Years AGO


April is the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the birth Of Samuel Freeman
Miller, the only Justice of the United
States supreme court ever appointed
from Iowa. He was born at Richmond.
Kentucky. on April S. 1916. Overcon-
ing the many obstacles confronting a
poor boy. he went to school in Rich
mond for few years, after which he
became a drug clerk. In this capacity
he was attracted to the study Of medf-
cine, and In 1886 he entered the medi
cal department OF the Pennsylvania
University. Upon graduating two years
later he entered upon ten years of sue
cessful practice as physician in q
little town in the Cumberland noun
tains.
Toward the end Of this period. how
ever, his interest and ambition grad
ually turned away from the medical
profession until he felt an utter aver
sion to 1t. Consequently he began to
read law during his unoccupied mo-
ments and In. 1s47 he was admitted, to
the bar. In 1850 he moved to Keokuk,
Iowa, where with surprising rapidly
he attained a leadership Of the bar of
the state. Twelve years later he was
appointed Justice Of the supreme court
of the United States by President Lin
coin. The author Of a biography Of
Justice Miller, published several years
ago by the State Historical Society of
Iowa, ranks him with John Marshall
as an interpreter Of the federal consti-
tuition. II -. @.s-a, aai.

The town that fails to keep going

but all are going some. Mason City
will double her paved streets this year
which suggests that Mason City will

towns when the season is over.
Those American troopers evidently
do not agree with the Indianapolis
speech. They aren't bit too proud
to fight.
Seems to be a difference of opinion
as to the number of widows Villa is
likely to leave but it is agreed that 1t
would be enough to make fine start
for a home for widowed and deserted
women.

publican.
The Republican is one of the fe "
newspapers in Iowa which has opposed
road Improvement under the fear that
it Is impracticable but this fear is due
to misunderstanding of the whole
problem. Nobody has yet proposed to
do the impractical thing altho many
people have proceeded to attack that
which has never been proposed. Ten
counties in Iowa this spring have de-
cided to grade and gravel their entire
county road system within few years
and issue bonds for the expense in an
tiCipation of taxes that are going to
come in in the future. In most coun-
ties the estimates have shown that the
hard roads can be had at once and the
bonds with their interest paid out Of
present taxes within less than ten
years.
What is proposed is to adopt meth
DDS long in use and thoroughly tried
out in other states and that is to let
each county settle its own road prob
lem and issue bonds by vote of the
people instead of by funding over
drafts created by a board Of super
visors. The Republican believes this
t. be reasona Die and should now join
hands with the road boosters. Forty
one per cent of all the counties in the

German, Use Paper Beds.

( Paper beds. with paper sheets and
paper pillow cases, are now being ltsed
in Germany by the poor. The material
for mattresses and bedding has be-
come so dear that 1t Is impossible for
any but the comparatively rich to aft
ford them. The mattresses are now
made Of strong sheets of paper pasted
together and filled with dried leaves Of
beech and oak trees. These leaf mat
tresses are said to be as comfortable
to lie on as any filled with feathers.
The paper that is used is toughened by
a special process, which prevents It
from tearing easily. The leaves Tor
filing the mattresses and pillow cases
| have been collected in the great Ger
man forests by bands Of children at g
practically negligible cost. IA
