Got Mild Intoxicant
From "Peyote" Plant

"Peyote" pronounced "pay-yo-tay,"
with accent on second syllable) is the
Mexican form of the Aztec "peyotl,"
meaning a caterpillar. The Aztecs aD-
piled 'peyotl" to a species of compO-
site plants in southern Mexico because
of the downy growth on the roots. A
mild intoxicant was made by the In-
dams from this plant. Later "peyOte"
came to be applied to small spineless
cactus which grows in northern Mex
leo and the southwestern part of the
United States. This cactus is found
in abundance along the Rio Grande.
The small tops which barely pro-
trude above the ground are often
called "mescal buttOnS," "mescap be-
ing another name for peyote. From
the dried tops is made medicine used
as remedy for various ailments. But
the chief use of peyOte is in certain
religious ceremonies. 1t exhilarates
the mind, intensifies the Imagination
and produces pleasant dreaminess,
without, however, any disagreeable eff
fects later. AT least this is what the
authorities report.
The peyote is taken at intervals dur
ing the ceremonies, which last through
ont the night. Originally all the red
men in that region chewed mescal. In
recent, years the peyote religion has
spread among the Indians in Oklahoma
and farther north. Some tribes look
upon the plant as of divine origin and
treat it with veneration. There is no
English name. which we know of for
peyote.-Pathfinder Magazine.

Go-as- You-Please Spelling

We sometimes fancy that strictly
correct spelling has been turned into a
fetish. Spelling is largely a knack
after the first fearful steps have been
taken up the slopes Of our English
Parnasse. The letters come by a sort
of instinct. They dance merrily into
the right order of themselves. If some
good people never can spell with
pedantic accuracy. does it matter SO
very much? "Oh she knew well. Thy
love did read by rote and could not
spell" To be an immaculate speIler
is like being cOpper-plate caligrapl-
list. But it remains one of the minor
accomplishments at best. Some of the
best letters have been illspelt It is
the matter that counts.-London Tele-
graph.

Looping after it, swings the coiled lasso

great practice is required, and, If pos

Concerning Parrots

OF the 20 commonly known va
rieties of parrots, the most talkative
ones. according to George Bruce Chap
man, head of a London house that
has imported and sold the birds for
more than hundred years, are the
Brazilian Amazon and the African
Gray. The former has bright blue
and yellow feathers and red tips to
the shoulders and fight wings. The
African Gray has red tail. In Bra
I'll natives watch the nesting places
and when the fiedglings are few
days old, the feathers Of one of the
wings are trimmed. Later these birds
are easily captured, placed on perehes
and taken to the nearest village. Fan
ciers say that the birds should be fed
twice a day, and with proper care
will live 80 years.

Ants Sensitive to Sound

II they have no ears, ants can per-

and tap the surface lightly with the
finger. Every ant gives quick start.
SO sensitive are they that the drop

Of only six inches onto the surface
Of the table was seen to make every

Ants never sleep. They work from
birth to death in a land of darkness
and silence. Their strength is prodig-

equally amazing, for in spite of their
good appetites ants have been shown
to be able to live and work for from
80 to 100 days without food.
