Palling Supply Hal Kcndtnd Thl? CovrM Ncchmtj. The demand in the United States for medicines of vegetable origin lias steadily increased with the population, and the export demand has also in creased with the introduction of our medicines abroad, but the supplies of plants which formerly grew wild in this country have in many instances greatly decreased, and the point has now been reached where it is not infrequent, that it is extremely difficult and sometimes mpossible to obtain certain varieties of native medicinal herbs and barks for any price. This condition has been gradually growing worse of recent years and the only relief, according to the manufacturers who oally newt these rare native pinnts. Is to begin to systematically cultivate then}, instead of depending, as formerly, upon tht natural growth. That .this can be done with prollt is claimed to be without question, as prices frequently soar, owing to the short supplies, and if the ?cultivation be so regulated that it will not be in excess of the denuiuds of the trade, there Is no reason why a rich harvest cannot be reaped by the pro ducers. as well as the manufacturers of medicines In which they are used. The-latter are anxious that the culti vation of the plants be taken up bj reason of the fact that It would do nway with the Inconvenience which they now frequently experience, n? well us with the exorbitant prices which they are forced to pay by those who mnnnge to corner tlie available Kupplles when they nre short. (Jolden seal Is a case in point. It formerly could be obtained In abund ance throughout the Ohio Valley and eastward. It Is now hard to obtain in commercial quantities, and the price has been forced up to seventy-tlvo cents n pound. Twenty years ago the pro duction of golden seal In the United States was given by Lloyd at 1&0.000 pounds, Kxperiments are now being made in the cultivation of seneca snakeroot. eascara sagrada, and the cone flower, also native drug-producing plants. The field for cultivation Is In the sections where the plants formerly thrived nat urally. before the increasing demand and the higher commercial value caused their practical extermination.? \*>vr York Times.

They brought him to town, where Ids snakcshlp was carefully Inspected at a respectable distance. He bore all the marks of a com man blacksnakc. but protruding from bla neck at one side near the head" was a lon;r horn, apparently as sharp as a needle.

Oriental rugs aud India shawls are beautiful and durable, the shawls being quite as beautiful as the rugs; but, while Oriental rugs have become more popular every year, India shawls for a long time have been falling in puulic favor, until there is, to-day, no general demand for them at all. A Burmese, when a statement simi lar to the one above was made to him, replied: "I admit there is no general demand for India shawls now. That is because women don't wear shawls any more. But the special demand?the demand of artists and museums and collectors ?is as good as it ever was. The con sequence of this is that Indian shawls haven't deteriorated in quality. On the contrary, they have improved year by year. "And a fine shawl brings to-day as high a price as it ever brought. If you have a fine shawl?a really fine one ?fetch it to me, and I'll sell it for you. There are, though, very few fine shawls in America. "Good Indinn shawls are made of the wool of the Tibet goat. This wool Is very delicate and curly. One goat yields, at a shearing, half a pound of it. But do you know how much that half pound tvoltb? It Is worth $4.25, and sometimes it is worth $5." ltntlilng In the Dead Sea. "I have bathed in the Dead Sea and in Great Salt Lake," said a wealthy reporter, "and the strangest, oddest thing about each hnth was the towel ing that followed it. "Do you want to know exactly what It is like to towel yourself after a swim In the lake or the sea? If you do, cover yourself all over with butter and then with a dozen towels try to rub yourself dry and clean. "That will be an impossible thing to do, but hardly more impossible than to rub off the sea's or lake's thick brine. Really, though. It is an oil rather than a brine. After a bath in it you might towel and rub till you were raw. but your flesh would still Ten?aln slippery and clammy. "Swimming in these strange waters is pleasant enough. In the Dead Sea I found that I could swim with my body out of water to the waist. You flont like a cork, even though you don't move a muscle "Hence you would think no deaths from drowning ever happened there. Such deaths do happen, though.

A lady died in a Danish vil lage, leaving all her money to her nephew, who years ago left Denmark for Holsteiii, and of whom nothing fur ther had been heard. The executor was puzzled how to find the legatee, when suddenly lie re. membered traveling in Saxony some years ago with a friend, when a young man in the same compartment started whistling a Danish folk-song. The travelers engaged him in conversation aifcl found that he did not speak Dan ish, although he had been born there. ,He told thein he had left Denmark for Holstein years ago and had learned the folk-song in n Danish garrison town.

Through the efforts of Professor C. W.

Some years ago money was appropriated by the State Legislature for experiments along these lines, but no favorable results were reached. The apparatus used In the experimenting whs turned over to the university. The problem it* now being attacked by Professor Wood worth in a thorough mnnner. Through the good offic es of N.

Three varieties of worms will be used in the experi ments. They are the Japanese, the Russian and the Persian varieties. The experiments now being con ducted will be watched with interest, as the plan of raising silkworms In this country has been tried in many places besides California.
