An important industry of Para
guay is the extracting of essenoe of
orange leaves and exporting it to
France and the United States,
where it is used in making soap and
perfumery. There are immense or
ange forests in Paraguay which
grow from seeds planted 150 years
ago by the Jesuit, priests, and scat
tered through the forests are small
factories where the essence is taken
from the leaves. In addition to ex
porting it, the natives use it as a
healing ointment and as a hair tonic.
Learning and Work.
The establishment of institutions
of learning for his benefit is not the
way to bring the colored brother
out properly, says a northern ex
change. Of course he should have
the means to learnt oread and write.
He should • also have instruction in
other branches that come somewhere
within the definition of‘ ‘‘a oommon
school eduoation.” What he is in
greatest need of is a situation and
encouragement to work. The same
true of many thousands of white
men. Higher eduoation has carried
great many young men out of their
environment and they hate made
useless members or society. The
university is not the panacea for all
deficiencies. To be plain and home
ly about iu, it is impossible to make
silk purse out of a sow’b ear.
Moreover, there has to be attrem.en-
deus contingent of “hewers of wood
and drawers of water.” The de
mand for wood-hewers and water-
drawers is a thousand times greater
than it is for men with knowledge
of Greek roots, and, on the average,
the wood and water workers are a
great deal the most useful members
of society.—Valdosta Times.

The Best Remedy for Croup.
Atchison, Kan., Daily Globe.
This is the season when the
woman who knows the best reme-
edies for croup is in demand in
every neighborhood. One of the
most terrible things in the world
to be awakened in the middle of
the night by a whoop from one
of the children. The croup rem
edies are almost as sure to be lost,
in case of croup, as a revolver is
sure to be lost in case of burglars.
There used to be an old-fashion
ed remedy for croup, known as
hive syrup and tolu, but some
modern mothers say that Cham
berlain’s Cough Kemedy is better,
and does not cost so much. It
causes the patient to “throw up
the quicker, and gives
relief in a shorter linv 1 . Give
this remeri y as soon as the croupy
cough appears and it will prevent
the attack. It never fails and is
pleasant and safe to take. For
I sale by all druggists.
