"Thla oil of lemon," said the spice
merchant, "Is an exquisite thing. It la
liand-preHsed pressed by hand out of
lemon rind. Smell It."
The odor of the clear oil unvested

"I'll tell you how the oil of lemon la
r extracted," he Bald. "A man alts with
a sponge In one hand nnd a ploco of
fresh lemon peel In the other. lie
presses the peel against the sponge,
giving It finally a certain difficult and
dexterous twist, and thla breaks the
cells In the rind, and the oil there's
only a half drop of It comes reluc
tantly out upon tho sponge.
"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. It
takes the rinds of about 1,200 lemons
to make one pound of oil."

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. S. is the best rem

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

HONEY HUNTERS LIBEL BEES.
Shirk Their Work, One Declare, and
Don't Make Ilea Lines.
"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.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. 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.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (canned by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure, bend for

Juice, as Salts, Castor Oil, Calomel,

No, Cascarets strengthen and stimu
late the Bowel Muscles instead.
These are the Muscles that line the
Food passages and that tighten up when
Food touches them, thus driving that
Food on to Its finish.
They are the Muscles that turn Food
into Strength through Nutrition.
Well, a Cascaret acts on your Bowel
Muscles as if you had Just Sawed a cord
of wood, or walked ten miles.
That's why Cascarets are safe to take
continuously In health; and out of health.
Because they move the Food Naturally,
digesting it without waste of tomorrow's
Gastric Juice.
They thus work all the Nutrition out of
it before it decays.
