GENERAL, IS Tfi MOVE IN ' • * '& ;̂?r +**-r HERE is a witchery about -the smell of new-mown hay that appeals to humankind of high as well as low degree. There seems to be a tendency to revert to the primitive and bu­ colic in most of us, however effete and blase pur tastes may have become, and the fragrance of the fields gratifies the olfac­ tory nerves of prince and pauper, of the scullery maid and the pam­ pered social butterfly, whose more or less remote ancestors doubtless breathed in the perfume as it rose from the dew-covered, tender grass they mowed with shining blade and gathered with their own strong arms. The attraction of the perfume seems to have lingered even through many generations. New-mown hay not being always available, and somewhat too bulky for aesthetic use even when it is, the art of the perfumer has been called upon to gratify the sense of smell which longed for this particular aroma; so "new-mown hay" was t° the varied "perfumes of Araby" as toilet accessories in liquid form, and how "milady" may inhale the delicious odor from her cut glass scent bottle. Mayhap she pictures to herself the sttirdy youth with big, bare arms swinging his gleaming scythe and gathering the sweet young grass which she fondly thinks Is th® source of the delicious essence she now in- hales. But perfumes, like many other things, &re not always what they seem. Grass, freshly L '•*§< cu* or otherwise, has had nothing to do with the production of the sweet-scented liquid labeled r "new-mown hay." The source of the essence Is really a bean. Not the prosaic, everyday, com* monplace, edible bean of our market gardens, but a bean that grows in that section of the world where once El Dorado, the "Gilded One," was thought to rule in glittering splendor; that fabled land in the fruitless quest of which so many daring, gold-loving adventurers spent ' money, time, and even lives most lavishly. It Is inown as the Tonqua, Tonka, or Tonquin bean, said to be so called because It was erroneously thought to have been first introduced into Eu­ rope from the Chinese province of Tonquin. How­ ever it got its name, the real source of the bean is to be found in the tropical countries of South America, chiefly in the valleys of the Orinoco, Caura, and CuchWero rivers In Venezuela and in certain sections of Colombia. The bean is the seed of Dipterlx odorata, a tree belonging to the leguminosae or pulse family. The genus dipterix comprises about eight species, all large trees, to be found in the forests of Bra­ zil, the Guianas, Venezuela, Colombia, and trop­ ical South America generally, having n* repre­ sentatives in northern localities. The tree grows from 60 to 90 feet high, with a trunk sometimes three feet in diameter. The iridescent pods are about two inches long, almond shaped, and very thick; the single seed is over an inch long and shaped somewhat like tC large kidney bean; It has a wrinkled skin of a shiny black color when . ready for the market. The odor, which is re­ markably strong, resembles that of sweet clover or new-mown hay, and is due to' the presence of coumarln, a concrete crystalllzable, volatile, neutral substance, which is soluble in alcohol and ether and somewhat so in boiling water, from which it crystallizes on cooling. The beans are often frosted with crystals of this substance, which short distinctly on their black surface and give them the appearance of being sugar coated. As stated, the tree is indigenous to tropical South America, but the section which produces the largest quantities and perhaps the best va­ riety of the beans is the region between the Caura and Cuchivero rivers. The watershed be­ tween these two streams consists of several mountain ranges of granitic formation, the most considerable of which is the Serrania de Mato. On the right bank of the Caura river mountains of similar formation, of which Turagua is the highest, also exist. The average altitude of these ranges is between 3.000 and 4,000 feet, although there are peaks as high as 6,000 feet. Besides the mountain ranges mfiny isolated hills and large open masses of granite, only a little higher than the surrounding country, are scattered through the forest. The land in the vicinity of these mountains consists largely of granitic grit and it is this soil that seems to be the most fa­ vorable for the growth of the tonqua-bean tree. The trees are not usually found in groves, but grow singly, though small clumps are occasional­ ly found. The gathering of the nuts is thus all . the more difficult and arduous. The .wood of the tree is remarkably close-grained,- very hard and heavy, and of a reddish color. In some respects it resembles lignum-vitae and is frequently mis­ taken for It. It is highly prized as a cabinet wood. While cultivation of the tree has been at­ tempted in Trinidad and other of the West Indies td a limited extent, the fact that it takes from ten to twelve years to come into bearing has dis­ couraged any systematic efforts along this line, and the wild product, is still depended upon to supply the market. Again the crops seem to be very irregular, and it is impossible to forecast the yield of any particular year. As a rule there is perhaps not more than one good crop in every three years, production in the intervals being so scant that it hardly pays to collect the beans. In Venezuela the tree is known as sarrapia, and the men engaged in the collection of the seeds or beans are called WrripieroB. Ciudad Bolivar 4 is the center of the tonqua-bean industry o{ Venezuela, and it is there that the sarrapieros market their product. One factor which has much to do with curtail- P; ing the tonqua-bean crop is the presence of birds 'T-• H in the tropical forests where the trees grow, is," Especially are the large macaws with their gor-. f ^^geously colored plumage and the many other ^varieties of the parrot family to be found In Mkl: ;A*?£'-as these regions an abomination in the eyes of the sarrapieros. They feed on the small immature fruit of the trees in the months of October and November, long before the beans are ready to be gathered, and often flocks of these devastating birds may be seen wherever a large tonqua-bean tree is to be found. According to Eugene Andre, the English naturalist, no birds are more extrav­ agant than parrots in their method of feeding, not so much on account of what they consume as of what they waste. Wherever these birds have eaten tbe ground is strewn with fruit only clawed and then awkwardly dropped, or perhaps with just a small piece bitten off. Hence the destruction before maturity of enormous quanti­ ties of the valuable beans. In Andre's account of the industry in."A Natur­ alist in the Guianas" he states that it is usually abou$ the beginning of February that the sar­ rapieros begin to organize their expeditions to the interior to collect the beans. For two or three months thereafter the Cjaura river presents a scene of animation. Boats of every size and description mav be eeen making their slow prog­ ress up the strong current of the river. He»e will be seen a large bongo, or dugout canoe, of several tons capacity, carrying an entire family up the stream and laden with provisions for a stay of several weeks. Again small skiffs. Just large enough for the two hard-working paddlers and their outfit may be seen making somewhat better progress. Occasionally a flotilla of several boats carrying a larger expedition, consisting of 15 to 20 men, is met with. Progress up the river is slow and frequent stops at the settle­ ments along the banks are made for the purpose of laying in fresh supplies, resting, and having a good time. Many of the sarrapieros are old bands at the business and usually stop at the places leading to the sarrapiales with ^which thev are familiar. They know every Inch of the ground and every tonqua-bean -tree in the dis­ trict. Cano Guayapo, Suapure. Temblador, and La Prision are the names of some of the settle­ ments where most of the boats stop. A few of the more energetic sarrapieros push on farther, to Cangrejo, but it is hard work getting through the rapids of Mura and Piritu. As soon as a party has selected a spot .as a center of operations, the men build the ranchos or huts which are to be their homes for perhaps two or three months. If the fruit is sufficiently ripe and has commenced to fall, they begin gath­ ering at once. Otherwise they spend the inter­ vening time in locating the best trees and in hunting and fishing. When the ifruit begins to fall, everyone gets busy. Men, women, and chil­ dren all take part in the work of collecting. By daybreak the workers scatter through the forest and no fruit-bearing tree is overlooked. After all the fruit of the trees near to the ranchos has been gathered the men go farther into the for­ ests, sometimes taking supplies with them and remaining absent for a week or two. During this time they sleep in the forest in their ham­ mocks, using plantain leaves or palm branches as a covering to keep dry when it rains. The fruit of the tonqua-bean tree, or sarraplft,; resehAtles a mango in appearance, has but little sfj?" pulp, which is rather sticky and tasteless but Is edible, and the seed is covered with a tfhrd furry substance. After a sufficient quantity of the fruit has been gathered, the sarrapiero takes the lot to some open place where he can get the benefit of strong sunlight. The hard shell is carefully 6ruehed between two stones, and a sin­ gle oblong bean of dark-brown color 1b obtained?. After a heap of these has been secured they are spread out on the large open masses of granite called lajas, which form a peculiar feature of the forests of this region. When dried, these are the tonqua beans of commerce as they are sold to the merchants and exporters in Ciudad Boli­ var. By the end of May or the flr.st part of June the crop is about exhausted and the Caura river again becomes alive with the fteturning beats. Prom the Caura they go into the Orinoco and thence down to Ciudad Bolivar, where the sarrapieros sell their accumulations of beans to the large exporting houses. Before the tonqua beans are exported they no through a . process of crystallizing by being steeped in strong rum or alcohol. Casks open at one end are placed in rows and filled to within about a foot 'of the top with the beans. The rum is then poured in until the cask is full. It is then covered by lavors of bagging or gunny sacks. At the end of 24 hours the rum that ha* not' been absorbed is run off and tjje beans taken out and spread out to dry . in a current of air. When first taken out the beans are of a dull black color and are soft and swollen with the absorbed fluid. On drying Bhiny white crystals appear on the surface of the beans, which gives them the sugar-coated appearance they have when they arrive at their final destination in Europe or the United States. In the drying process they shrin^ considerably, and this gives them the wripkled surface. They are shipped in wine casks or rum puncheons to the markets of the world. As indicated heretofore, the value of the bean lies in Its sweet and lasting odor, and its active principle is much used by the manufacturer of perfumes as a basis. While the odor is really Rochester, N. Y., July 15! bishop James Edward Quigley of the Chicago diocese died on Saturday at the home of his brother. Joseph M. Quigley, chief of the Rochester police force. The end came quietly, tiie pre­ late being unconscious for iMiverai hours before he passed away. James Edward Quigley was born in the village of Oshawa, Ontario, on Oc­ tober 15, 1S55. His parents. Thomas and Ellen Quigley, came to America from Ireland in 184-7. He graduated from St. Joseph's college in 1872. It was through the effortB of the late Bishop Ryan of Buffalo, whom he was to succeed 24 years later, that a 'bursch" in tfce University of Inns­ bruck of the Austrian Tyrol waa ob­ tained for the future prelate In 1878. Prom there he went to the College of the Propaganda at Rome. On his re­ turn to America Father Quigley's first pastorate was at Attica. N. Y., where he served five years. Three years later he waa conse­ crated bishop of Buffalo, to succeed that of sweet clover or rreshly cut grass, it re- hBisbop Ryan.

Galveston, Tex., Julf lS-^AlMiWo. gram from Vera Cruz on Sunday gives particulars of the battle at Mexico City and its occupation, which Pablo Gonzales effected. Gonzales wired Car-anza Saturday that the occupation of the city began with heavy fighting between Guada­ lupe and Rio Consulado, within the city limits. As a result Of thfe fight the Zapatis­ tas lost over 3,500 men in killed and wounded, four canhon and immense quantities of arms and ammunition. After their defeat the Zapatistas be1- gan evacuating the city, fleeing to­ ward Cuernavaca, to the south. They were followed by a portion of Gon­ zales' army, while.other forces were dispatched to flank the fleeing reac­ tionaries and to cut their retreat aev- eral miles south of the city. Fearful carnage is said to have re­ sulted when the retreat was cut, al­ though particulars of this fighting are lacking. Reports stated that Gonzales already has rushed several trains of provisions into the city to the relief of thousands of destitute civilians, and that the ar­ rival of these trains caused great dem­ onstrations in favor of the constitu­ tionalists. The permanent re-establishment of the old capital is expected in a tow days. Gen. Lopes de Lara has been ap­ pointed governor of the federal dis­ trict. Messages to headquarters at San Antonio, Tex., of the American Red Cross said Monclova, Coahuila, had been captured by Carranza soldiers, but that sharp fighting ooatlnued to the north or the city.

Once upon a time, when our not very remote fore­ fathers had the habit of taking a* pinch of snuff to titillate their olfactories to the sneezing point, the bean was in great demand. Every jar of snuff on the shelves of the wealthy contained several pf these sweet-smelling beans, and even in the gold or silver pocket snuffboxes carried by our grandfathers a single bean was usually found to add its fragrance to the pungent powder which gave them such delight. Later the beans were uBed in pulverized form to give a delight­ ful aroma to smoking tobacco, one use to which they are still sometimes put. A cheaper substi­ tute has been found, however, in the so- called "wild vanilla," found in Florida, and the ordinary grade of smoking tobacco knows not the fragrance of the tonqua bean. The price of the beans varies greatly and de­ pends largely upon whether there is a good or poor crop. The crop of 1912 was very short and the price rose to $4.87 per p^Qund. According year it fell to less than $1 per pound. According to the commercial statistics of the United 'States importations during the year ending June 30, 1913. amounted to 783,888 pounds, valued at $1,140„409. These figures are some evidence that the scent of "new-mown hay" Is still quite popu­ lar in the United States, for the scent is about all there is to' the tonqua bean, ft lends its fragrance to fine tobacco for the smoker, to fine toilet soaps, to "brilllantine," and other hair dressings and dyes* to dainty cosmetics t^iat softly tint the cheeks and lips of beauty, to 'flavor­ ing extracts used in confections and ice crearas, and to many other things that gratify the sense of smell. Thus has an agreeable odor become an important commercial commodity.

Immediately the reverberant sound of an alarm gong boomed through the big craft.

Figures just compiled by the public­ ity branch of the provincial depart­ ment show that last year, notwith­ standing that quite a third of the prov­ ince was affected by the drought to a very serious extent, the total value of agricultural products actually pro­ duced in the province showed an in­ crease of over twenty million dollars over that of the previous year. Al­ though southern Alberta had a bad year agriculturally, the province as a whole experienced a period of great prosperity, due principally to mixed farming, which is becoming more gen­ eral with each succeeding year. The value of mixed farming, in fad, was never better illustrated than last year as the value of the animals slaughtered and sold alone equaled the value of the spring wheat crop without taking into consideration the value of the butter, milk, cheese, poul­ try, vegetables, and other by-products of the farm. Oats was the banner grain crop, 1,147,382 acres being seeded, and pro­ ducing 34,397,117 bushels, or 30.15 to the acre. Sold at an average of 50c per bushel, these yielded a revenue of $17,198,568. Comparatively little win­ ter wheat was produced, the yield be­ ing a little short of one. million bush­ els, but the spring wheat crop amounted to 15,102,083 bushels, the yield per acre being 15.26. At an aver­ age of $1.35 per bushel, the value of the spring wheat crop was therefore $20,387,812. The total production of barley was 7,847,640 bushels, which, at 56c per bushel, yielded a revenue of $4,316,202. Other productions were as follows: Flax, 207,115 bushels. $310,672.00; rye, 261,843 bushels, $^196,392.00; speltz, 42,- 707 bushels, $32,030.00; hay. 200,000 tons, $2,500,000; potatoes, four million bushels, $3,000^000; turnips, three mil­ lion bushels, $750,000; carrots, 360,000 bushels, .$180,000; mangolds, 640,000 bushels, $320,000; animals slaughtered and sold $20,000,000; butter and cheese, $1,600,000; milk, $3,000,000; wool clip, 1,300,000 pounds, $100,000; fish, $195,000; game and furs, $600,- 000; horticulturai products, $150,000; poultry and, products, $2,650,000. The total of the agricultural prod­ ucts is given as $78,516,891, as com­ pared with $58,098,084 in 1913. The statistics also show that the value of the liVe stock in the province at the end of the year was $110,044,- 630, this being an increase pf $7,762,- 845 over the previous year. There were 609,125 horses, 750,789 swine, 601,188 sheep, 192,905 dairy cows. 165,- 035 other cows, 190,923 beef cattle and 633,020 other cattle.--Advertisement FROG IN BABY'S STOMACH Tadpole Grew and Waxed Fat on tfc* Infant's Milk Diet--Child, Is Dead. /Ik Wx- The eighteen-months-old ' Mrs. Harry Wolf of Chicago, is dead following an operation which disclosed conditions that many surgeons had de­ clared to be impossible, says a Goshen (Ind.) dispatch to the Indianapolis Star.
