Resistance...

thrift, you are assured of independence in the mellow

NEW SOURCE OF TURPtNTINE
Tree in Central India to Be Looked
To for Supply of Really .
Good Quality.
Turpentine oil and rosin are already
being produced on i\ commercial svale
In India by the distillation of pine
rosin. A new source of supply which,
though comparatively small, may he
valuable, especially for Indian use. has
now been found in frankincense or
'otibanum. This material is obtained
by the natives by making incision j in
the stems of Bosweilla serrftta. a tree
tfhtefy distributed throughout the dry
zone forests of Central India. The
resinous substance which exudes from
the cuts contains a kind of turpentine,
a rosin and a gum.
Investigations of the methods of sep
arating these constituents In a market
able form have been conducted since
lOlii by the fore*t authorities in India
In co-operation with the Imperial In
stitute. and the results have been pub
lished recently In a paper by It. S.
Pearson, forest economist, and Puran
Singh, chemical adviser, at tin4 Forest
Research institute, I>chra Dun, The
general conclusion reached, based on
the results of numerous trials. Is that
the turpentine oil is equal to good
quality American turpentine oil.
Abyssinian Likes American Styles.
"I would Hkjp to see Abyssinian worn*
on dross like American women." Is h
remark orodited to Prince Nadott, tli??
head of tho Abyssinian mission in this
country. This may be merely a bit
of oriental flattery or It may be an
Indication of the prince's bravery. It
should be remembered, first, (hat the
Sovereign of Abyssinia I* a woman, and
a descendant of tho queen whose ele
gance and beauty <>f costuThe dazzled
King Solomon's court, and In tin* next
place that in Abyssinia style, dors not
change more than once every thou
sand years, mid that for that length
of time the life <?f'a man Is free from
all pecuniary worries incident to
changing fashions and new dresses.
Without any Intention of forecasting
trouble for the prince, it might -be
suggested that if this story should
precede him lie will have some ex
planations in make either to the queen
or to the husbands and fathers <>f
Abyssinia.
Faith in Adversity.
Joe Fountain of Itootjhck. Mich.,
was willing to plead guilty in court to
the charge of making liquor, having
a private still in his home. Prosecut
ing Attorney Lucas told the court that
he fried to get a promise of reforma
tion from Joe. a promise at least that
he would refrain from drinking for
the remainder of his life.
"Not me," was Joe's answer. "It
might get wet again."
As Joe's Infraction included only
making a little spirits for lils?own use
he was released on payment of the
costs.?Daily Mining Gazette.

Among the presents given to a rural
