PerSious to Handle,

The production of chrysarobin, a
medicinal principle much used in par
asitic skin diseases, is attended with
great peril 1t forms about 80 per
cent of goa powder, obtained from
cavities in the Brazilian araroba tree
(Andira anarabo), and in securing this
powder the trees are felled, though
eighty to one hundred feet high, and
often three feet in diameter. The ma
terial is found as damp pulp or Jumps
in the center of the trunks, the yield
sometimes reaching sixty or sixty-ive
pounds per tree, with none at all In
some trees. The accompanying caus-
tic liquid makes the substance difficult
to handle and, despite gloves and
masks, workers for any length Of time
invariably lose their hair, eyebrows
and eyelaShes and sometimes even be-
come blind, while sores from the burns
may cause long disability. A cat has
been known to lose its fur from sleep
ing on bag of the powder.

Wide Us' Dolls In Servia,

Talking Of Servia's curious marriage
customs, Mrs, Gordon in her book, "a
Woman In the Balkans" speaks of a
queer looking doll she sometimes saw
hanging up In cottage windows:
ITO my establishment and amuse-
ment l was informed that the doll was
the coy evidence a widow shows when
she desires to enter the bonds of mat
rimony again. Some of them were
hideOus, others Of as pretty kind as
the circumstances or taste of the lone
widow would permit, and it was by
this mute appeal intending suitors
were made aware of her intentions
and invited to inquire within.
Wreaths of corn marked the houses of
manageable girl"
The Servians are singing people,
and the women, who are very poetical,
sing as they spin during the long even
ings. They sometimes compose music
to the old ballads as they sing them.
The cou&try is called "the poor mans
paradise" and Mrs. Gordon thinks the
title appropriate, 'for one rarely sees
the poor or the beggar, and, though
there may be smells, there are no
slums and no unemployed"

The Word "Pester,"

When we say we have been pestered
by the bill collector and the political
candidate we are not indulging in
American slang. We are using a word
that Is more ancient and aristocratic
than any Of our proudly displayed
coats of arms. And it came from the
same source as most of the world S
aristocracy-from the farm! Poster
Is an abbreviation for 'impester," and
a pastorium, in classic Latin, was SIM
ply pasture. There were no fences
around the pasture, and to prevent the
horses and cattle from straying too
far In quest of lush grass their feet
were shackled. You would think you
were being pestered If your feet were
tied-that IS, lmpestered-so that you
could not run.-St. Louis Globe-D Demo-

Strength Of a Flower.

One OF the most remarkable exhibit
tons OF plant force l ever saw, says
John Burroughs In 1.-The Breath Of
Life" was in a western city, where I
observed a wild sunf1ower forcing it's
way up through the asphalt pavement
The folded and compressed leaves Of
the plant, like mans fist, had pushed
against the hard but flexible concrete
until it bulged up and split and let the
irrepressible plant through. The force
eXerted must have been many pounds.
| think it doubtful If the strongest man
could have pushed his fist through such
a resisting medium
Life activities are a kind of explo-
sion, and the slow continued explo-
sions of this growing plant rent the
pavement as surely as powder would
nave done. 1t is doubtful If any cult
waited plant could have overcome such
odds. 1t required the force of the IN
tanned hairy plant of the plains to &C
complish the feat.
