"When the sponge has taken up the drlbbllngs of about a hundred rinds, It Is wet enough to be squeezed out. An ounce or so of clear and fragrant oil them flows from It "There Is no way to extract thla oil within a lemon rind except by squeez ing and twisting the rind by hand.

When Mrs. Morse, after a lapse of thirty years, met her old schoolmate, Mrs. Graham, In the guise of a sum mer visitor to Aldersfleld, she made up her mind to one thing: Lydla Gra ham's measure of worldly prosperity bad been largo, but not for one mo ment would Mary AnnJUorso allow her to feel "set up." It was with tho intention of reducing any possible pride that might be lurk ing behind Lydla Graham's placid countenance that Mrs. Morse hold her off at arm's length when the first af fectionate greeting had been ex changed. "IIow fat you've grown, Lyddy!" Bald Mary Ann Morse, holding her lit tle figure erect as a small, stiff tree. Mrs. Graham smiled contentedly, and Mrs. Morse saw that her thrust had done no harm. "And yet and yet you're wrinkled In spite of It," said this determined old friend; and then she gave Lydla Graham's flushed cheeks a consoling kiss. RHEUMATISM BODY RACKED WITH PAIN No other bodily suffering is equal to that produced by the pain of Rheth jnatism. When the poisons and acids, which cause this disease, become in trenched in the blood there is hardly any part of the body that is not af iected. The muscle3 become sore and drawn, the nerves twitch and sting, the joints inflame and swell, the bones ache, every movement is one oj agony, and the entire body is racked with pain. Rheumatism is brought oti by indigestion, stomach troubles, torpid Liver, weak Kidneys and a general inactive state of the system. The refuse matter instead of passing ofi through nature's avenues is left to sour and form uric acid, .and other acrid poisons which are absorbed into the blood. Rheumatism does not affect an ante, in sopic cases it taices a wandering form ; it may be in the arms or legs one day and in the Shoulders, feet, hands, back or other parts of the body the next. Others suffer more seriously, and are never free from pain. The uric acid and other irritating substances find lodge ment in the muscles and joints and as these deposits increase the mus cles become stiff and the joints locked and immovable. It matters toot in what form the disease may be the cause is always the same a sour, acid condition of the blood. This vital stream has lost its purity and freshness, and instead of nourish ing and feeding the different parts with health-giving properties, it fills them with the acids and salts of this painful and far-reaching disease. The cold and dampness of Winter always intensify the pains of Rheumatism, and the sufferer to get relief from the agony, rubs the affected parts with liniments, oils, lotions, etc., or uses plasters and other home remedies. These are desirable because they give temporary ease and comfort but have no effect on the real trouble which is in the blood and beyond the reach of such treatment. B. S.

"Silvio Pelllco and Tasso both did their best work in Jail." Losses From Insect Pests. C. L. Marlatt, of the Department ol Agriculture in Washington, has pre pared a statement as to the loss by in sect pests in the United States each year. He notes that the losses each year in all the plant products of the soil, both in the growing and in the stored state, together with those in live stock, exceed the entire expendi ture of the national government, in cluding the pension roll and the main tenance of the army and the navy. Placing the value of these products at (5,000,000,000, per year, he notes an annual shrinkage due to insect pests of fully 10 per cent in many cases of 50 per cent; but at 10 per cent, $500,000, 000 is "the minimum yearly tax which insects levy upon the products of the farm." This does not include loss to farm products in storage, (100,000,000; or to natural forest and food products, alBo $100,000,000; making a total an nual loss of $700,000,000 directly traceable to insect pestB.

"There are several popular errors about the ways of bees which need rec tifying," said Ike Hubbard, a honey hunter. "The average bee, Instead of being an example of Industry, Is about the laziest thing that flies. "Even In the busy season In mid summer no bee' will quit Its hive until after tho sun la well up and has taken off the heavier part of the dew, and so soon as the sun slants toward the hill in the afternoon every bee will come flying homo and go to roost, though darkness is four or Ave hours away. "Then there are few bees that will hunt for honey from flowers so long as they can find corn sirup or brown sugar to steal. This fact Is so well known to apiarists that many bee keepers buy corn sirup for 50 cents a gallon and pass it along to the bees, which convert it into something that resembles honey, but is not honey, and still sells for the genuine product of the hives. When a man can buy sirup for 50 cents a, gallon and then sell It back to the trader as honey for $8 a gallon, he can get rich right away provided he has enough bees. "The greatest mistake that Is made about bees is the belief that they fol low straight lines when carrying home their loads of honey. I assure you that the bee line one reads about In the books does not exist "When a laden bee is going home with a big load of honey in Its stom ach and great wads of pollen on its hind legs, It takes the easiest course, regardless of any line. In our hilly country no bee will rise in the air to surmount a hill when it can go around the obstruction. "When a sharp rise lies between my honey box and the bee tree, every bee flies away on the arc of a circle., so as to avoid exerting itself by rising. In such cases I place my box on either side of the hill, and make my triangi latlon nearer the apex. If one were to go chasing after a bee that was flying around a hill, his calculations might lead him to China or the Philippines "The beekeepers tell us that white clover honey is the best, but I do not agree with them. Domestic honey, such as is gathered from white clover, buckwheat and other cultivated plants, la too sweet "To my mind, wild honey that is stolen. from the blossoms of dogwood and basswood and wild thyme and mints and nettles is far better than anything bought in the stores. It has a gamey flavor about it that suggests wild woods and great trees and sing lug brooks and everything that lives out of doors and away from the con taminating taint of mankind." HAS RAINBOW WOOD MINE. Farmer Sees at Fortune Beneath His Bed of Peat and Swamp. The collecting of rainbow wood is a comparatively new industry in Maine. . Though the dwellers along the sea board have known for years that drift wood picked up from the salt water gave out Iridescent tints when burned In open grates, they attached no value to the colorings of the flames until the rich summer visitors came down east and changed the picking of driftwood from an occupation akin to idleness Into a profitable calling. For five years the whole coast line of Penobscot Bay has been scoured in quest of wood and when the supply grew scarce and the prices advanced from $10 to $25 a cord a Boston chem ist grew rich by Inventing a powder which when burned with dry wood yielded colors nearly as bright as the genuine wood from the sea. This fall Emery Bowden, a farmer, who sold considerable driftwood in former years, went to the salt mead ows at the foot of his field and began to dig a supply of muck. When he had excavated a hole about ten feet Jeep he came to a flooring of great pine trees, which had been imbedded la the peat for ages. The limbs had rotted away and the bark and sap wood had gone, but the dry heart of the trees was as sound as in life. Kindling a fire about a log of this wood, Bowden found that it gave out brilliant hues of indigo and green. No sooner had he made this discov ery than he stopped digging muck and went to mining rainbow wood. He loaded a schooner with cut wood and sent it to his Boston patrons, who paid him $22 a cord for the cargo and asked for more. Since then Bowden has hired all the men who are willing to work and is digging out the trunks In his burled forest and selling them at fancy fig ures. The deposit of pine trees lies between the clay subsoil and the over ?rowth of peat and is fully six feet .n depth. As the muck bed Is more than a mile in area Bowden believes he can fell 600,000 cords of wood from a for ast that has been burled from view for many ages.

Tbere ig only one way to cure dea.ness, and that is by constitu tional remedies, lieafness is caused by an in flamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube re-toted to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the-raucous surfaces.
