Tne castor Oil Bean and Its Uses Some Valuable Sug gestions. The cultivation of the castor oil plant has recently received the atten tion of some of the planters of the State looking around for some paying crop. While the limited demand for the oil, which is one of the "necessa ry evils" that humanity some times needs, puts the castor bean outside of the list of great profitable subjects of cultivation, yet the many uses to which the plant and its products can oe put, entitles it to careful examina J A 1 .... . iiuu aim experiments. 113 naoiiat is India, where it grows spontaneously with sell-sown seed, growing into a pretty sized tree, requiring no care of cultivation, in inaia tne seed will germinate it in almost anv part of the year. Some times in the coldest part 01 the winter, December and Janua ry. It seeds well for about six vears. then ceases to bear and dies off. One acre in India will grow 433 plants, bnt close planting is preferable in order to have a compact plantation. It is better to plant 3,012 plants to the acre during the first year, to be thinned out the next and subsequent years as found necessary. Porcher's "Resources of the South ern Fields and Forests" tells us : "The plant thrives best in a high sandy loam although it may be cultivated with success in almost anv sou tole rably fertile, or in any climate or soil where Indian corn will thrive. In the cooler part of the Union it mav be planted in hills two feet by three apart, two seeds in a place, as earlv in the spring as the warmth of the ground and the season will admit but in the South, where the season is longer and the plant assumes the character of a tree, the hills should be six or seven feet in one direction, and three and a half feet in the other receiving one seed to a hill, cov ered to the depth of two inches. The culture is so simple that it only re quires to keep the plants from weeds with a small flat hill to each. Castor oil is specially adapted for lubricating all sorts of machinery, clocks, watches, &c; it is an excellent lamp oil, giving a white light far su perior to that of mineral oils, petro leum, rapeseed, mustard, linseed and and all other oils, whether vegetable, animal or mineial. It gives very lit tle soot and is the cheapest lamp oil in existence. All the great perfumers of London and Paris use castor oil for the manufacture of golden oil, which keeps the head cool and the skin and pores of the skin, and roots of the hair soft and open. The oil is used for textile fabrics, to fit them for dye ing or printing, for which purpose the Indian dyers and calico printers in variably use it. It is one of the best oils for dressing tanned hides and skins of all kinds, and for preserving eather, because it gives strength, du rability, tenacity and beauty to them. Ihe 01J cake has also found an ex cellent use, in addition to its being one of the most excellent manures we have as a material for making gas, which gives a superior Jight. At the Alla habad East India Railway Station the amps are lighted with gas obtained rrom the castor oil cake. Uastor oil can also be used in another form. It dissolves completely in alcohol, and his, incorporated with a solution of copal, makes a varnish which will be found on trial very useful in polishing all kinds or high class furniture, car riages, saloons of ships, picture frames, oil paintings, parchment of vellum, maps and drawings, cloths and can vasses, and leathers of all kinds. The leaves of the castor oil plant A Mil rorm tne rooa or tne siik spinning bombgv arandi, and some writers and naturalists state that the well known Nissur silk worm also feeds on them. The leaves are considered medicinal by the natives of India, vrho after oil ing their bodies, warm and sweat the eaves on a fire, and bind wraps or fix them to the parts of their bodies af fected with rheumatism acute rheu matism has been quickly cured in this way. Bees infest the castor plant when in flower. The bees do not attack the female flowers, which are arranged on the upper side of the inflorescence, but they attack the male flowers, which 111 -r t a 1 are arranged oeiow, ana eat up tne pollen dust. This is excellent, because agriculture might as well be carried on with a castor plantation, and an abundant supply of honey and wax be obtained. FLOUR FROM SWEET PO- TATOES. Milling World. Wheat and other grains are likely o have more or less of a rival in the sweet potato. A patent has been is sued for a process of treating sweet potatoes for making flour. The ob- ect of the invention is to produce a wholesome and nutritious article of diet from the sweet potato one that will not be liable to become frozen or decay, and which shall embody all he valuable portions of the potato, especially the. starch and saccharine matter. The weet potato is a luxury, and when in its natural state and out of season, is difficult to get, except at exorbitant prices, owing to its liabil ity to rot and freeze. This invention designs so to treat the potato that the starchy and saccharine matters, with a quantity of the glutinous portions, may be obtained and readily trans ported to any portion of the world as a staple product similar to flour; and it being a well-known fact that chem ical changes which accrue to the liquid portion of the potato in cli mates other than where it grew de stroy its natural flavor, an essential feature of the process is to quickly evaporate such liquids while the po tato is in a healthy condition, and re duce it to a flour or meal which will retain the natural flavor of the escu lent. The product obtained accord ing to the invention may be made into rmddine-s. tries, cakes, custards and ZD I A. ' the like. . We Caution All Against Them. The unprecedented success and merit of Elys' Cream Balm a real cure for ca tarrh, hay fever and cold in the head has induced many adventurers to place catarrh medicines bearing some resem blance in appearance, style or name up on the market, in order to trade upon the reputation of Ely's Cream Balm.

Some years ago in Louisville, Flor ence found the elder Booth's son Edwin in profound contemplation of a human skull, says the Philadelphia News. There is a remarkable history connect ed with that head." 'said Booth. "It properly belonged to my father, but he never came in possession of it, and a few hours ago Dr. Morris, of this city, handed it to me as my property by the right of inheritance. yf The story con nected with it, as he then related it, ran about as follows: Upon one occasion in Louisville the elder Booth engaged in what would be called in these degenerate days, a pro longed howl. In fact, he indulged in one of those lapses that the great trage dian was prone to. While in a iSost mellow mood he started on a journey afoot out the old Bargetown pike. Pass ing a field in which a horse was grazing he entered it, securing the animal? mounted and rode away. At that time horse-stealing in Kentucky was con sidered an even more flagrant offense than it is to-day, and was ranked as a capital crime, the punishment for which was death. The greatest horse-thief in all that section, and one upon whose head a heavy price was fixed, was named Fontaine. Well, Booth jogged along on the horse that did not beTong to him, and was in a supremely happy condition until he met two farmers, who inquired of him where he had obtained the animal. 4,I captured him in afield back here,?' said the tragedian, with jovial frank ness, i "Indeed!" said one of the farmers; "and what might your name be?" "My name is Fontaine," said Booth, without a smile. , "Fontaine!" ejaculated both men simultaneously. "Then you are the very man-we want- Come back to town with us." "Certainly," said Booth, in the most good-natured manner, and wheeling his orse, he rode back to Louisville "vith his captors. The city jail was then in charge of a Col. Thomas, who knew Booth well. "We have brought you Fontaine, the horse thief, and claim the reward," said th0 farmers, proudly addressing the jailer. Where is he?" they were askod. Booth was produced. "Why, what does this mean, Mr. Booth?" asked Thomas. 'fl haven't the slightest idea," said the; great tragedian with the utmost simplicity. "1 met these two men with thisj horse, and they insisted upon giv ing: it to me. I guess they stole it. I think one of them is Fontaine." The horrified and now alarmed rustics were about to be locked up pending an in vestigation of their suspicious conduct, when, by the most singular coincidence, a man rushed to the prison door on horseback and shouted out the informa tion j that the real Fontaine had been taken in custody. When he was brought to Louisville Booth expressed a desire to see him, and paid him a visit in hip cell. Strange to say a strong sen timental friendship sprang up between the two men. 2sight after night the kind-hearted jailer took Fontaine to the theatre where Booth was playing, and there,1 secreted in the flies, he looked downlupon the acting of his nuecrlv- found! friend. In the confidence that this commun ion begot Booth once spoke of the d i 111 culty he experienced in always having a human skull at hand when he played "Hamlet." "That shall be remedied," said Fon taine, quietly, and he then and there made his aviII, devising his head to Junius Brutus Booth after he had been hanged. Booth left Louisville before Fontaine was executed, and the incident passed j from his mind. Years after ward when he was dead and his son was playing in Louisville, Dr, Morris called upon Edwin Booth, told him the story I have related, and presented him with Fontaine's skull, which he subse quently used in "Hamlet," Speaking of the Congo climate a re turned missionary says: "From my ex perience I do not doubt that Europeans can live there with comparative safety and comfort. If a young man in good natural health observes carefully tho rules which apply to a tropical country, being temperate . in both eating and drinking, there is no reason why his health should not be retained. Un bridled enthusiasm leads people to all kinds of indiscretions. If Europeans work as hard as at home the' must fail. Other causes, for which persons are themselves responsible, lead to the loss of health. I have known persons to live there nearly three years without sick ness. Lieutenant Taunt, U. S. N., was one of them. There is no distinction as to wet and drv seasons. Rain falls onco every two or three days, generally in the night. The temperature maintains an average of 85 to 90 degrees all the year round? The nights are cool and pleas ant, with the temperature at 70 to 75 degrees- There are a few mosquitoes, but they are not troublesome."
