WEED INDUSTRY IN ENGLAND

Herbs Neglected for Generations Now Carefully Garnered. London, October 24 (by mail). — Under the caption “Neglected Weeds Make a Rich War Harvest,” the British intelligence service recently issued a story dealing with the renewed use to which various herbs • long neglected in England are now being put, particularly those with medicinal qualities.

“The .great war,” the story reads, “is teaching England anew the value of many natural possessions neglected for generations. When Shakespeare wrote ‘Small herbs have grace’ small herbs had also a great value in. the national economy of England; they provided the only medicines that cured the ills of the flesh, they helped to keep the vigorous yeomen of England in health and sturdiness. In modern times the English herb garden has been preserved much as a curiosity. The garden around Shakespeare’s house at Stratford-on-Avan is a typical example.

“Except in country places the practical use of herbs in England hag almost entirely ceased. Every hedgerow, every piece of waste land was full of 'growths of commercial value, and t'he people of England for want of instruction neglected them—medicinal compounds could 1 be bought so cheaply from/- Ger-1 many! But the war having cut off' the German supply England i 3 turning to its own herb supplies again, and this-summer has seen a wonderful development of herb collecting ay a new industry 'in country places. Old people, children and wounded soldiers are doing the collecting, and centers for accumulating the harvest, cleaning and drying it are springing up everywhere. Here is a description of one of them. “Hidden from the country road in one of the prettiest districts of the eastern counties is a three-storied mill, centuries old, picturesque and strangely silent, though its wheels remain in contact with the river. The mill seems only a relic of old England and the more prosperous days of fanning. It is really a drying station of the new medicinal 'herb industry.

“A glance through the open door shows what transformation is necessary to fit a mill for drying herbs. Bunched leaves of nearly every English variety of medicinal herb hang in row after row from the heavy beams, drying in the breeze from the open door. Biscuit tins all over the floor store the smallest plants; daisy-headed camomile, colchicum seeds, the fly-devouring sundew-, and many others. “There are different rooms in the building for the various processes of the industry. One department, set apart as a kiln, in which is maintained a.heat of 120 degrees, is hung with burdock roots. .. On the

WEATHER FOR WEDNESDAY. PROBABLY

ground floor is ‘the steep,’ whera plants are washed before being hung from the rafters of the biggest loft. In every room are large sacks on the floor awaiting either the herb collector or some one deputed to dispatch them to a London dealer. “Not far from the mill are small plots where garden plants are grown for test experiments. These plots yield valuable infopmation, and prove that some of the most needed herbs can be grown on soil insufficiently fertile for ordinary cultivation; belladonna, henbane, datura, peppermint, meliot, pennyroyal, woodruff, agrimony, and yarrow thriv& where other plants wither. The difficulties in the cultivation of belladonna have been overcome in i East Anglia by interspersing plants I with rows of scarlet runners which, I shading the poisonous herb, cause ! it to grow rapidly, j “The herb industry, though re-

stricted to the cultivation of herbs, j has become associated with several I industrial and social problems. For instance, it can give employment to the wounded. Some convalescent soldiers staying in the neighborhood of the East Anglia branch of the herb industry volunteered to collect herbs, and from the hedges they brought all sorts of plants to the drying station; a small party 6f men j lately collected three hundredweight ,of foxglove leaves during one expedition.

“This occupation, undertaken voluntarily, showed the Herb Growers’ association that the men would find herb growing a congenial form of livelihood, aAd a scheme will be discussed at a conference to make the project practical. The branches of the industry employ all ages and classes and appeal to all sorts of people. Children bring their little contributions; farmers, amused and interested that their weed pests are valuable, send the weeds from their cornfields, and paid experts utilize them in a building voluntarily provided by the local landowner, who on a reserved plot experiments with the cultivation of digitalis and other poisonous plants to the benefit of the nation.”

EYES NOW MADE OF RUBBER

Artificial eyes made of rubber instead of glass are described in the ’ London Times as more comfortable and as advantageous in other ways. ; Two French workers, MM. Lemaitre ! an <* Teuilleres, it says, have evolved ; this new method of replacing lost eyes. They aimed at producing a substance of sufficient elasticity and softness to respond to the changes in t-he eye socket and at the same time of sufficient hardness to present a smooth natural effect between the eyelids. Experiment led them jto take careful casts of the socket . in plaster and to make from these casts the body of an artificial eye which should exactly fit the socket. They sblved the difficulty of consistence by making the front of the new eye of hard caoutchouc, vulcanized and enameled to represent the natural appearance, and the back of the eye of soft caoutchouc, hollowed out in the form of a ball and filled with air. These hollow eyes are-said to answer the purpose very well. They are soft and elastic; they respond in a remarkable manner to the ocular movements; they do not irritate the socket; and they have the great additional advantage of being unbreakable.

Th e Children's Play Corner

Game of Feathers. This is a game that is almost too simple for older people and yet very Jolly for a large party even of them for a |ew minutes. Seated in a circle, every one is set vigorously to wagging the hands. The leader proceeds somewhat after this fashion: “Dog feathers” (as dogs do not wear feathers, the.hands must continue to wag), “fish feathers, lion feathers, mouse feathers, bat feathers.” At this last, unless all are on the alert, some of the hands may go down on the lap. In that case the person whose bauds go down first must become the uew- leader, because bats do not wear feathers. But if no one is caught the original leader continues: “Lynx feathers, squirrel feathers, eel feathers, robin feathers.” At this last all the wagging hands must fly down to the laps at once, being raised again, however, and keep on w r agging. This is because robins have feathers. If any pair of hands have failed to salute the feathers the owner of that pair must become the new leader and strive in turn to catch others. From this description the principle of the game will easily be seen. It is a good game to familiarize children with the names of different animals.

Game of Scouts. The players divUe into two parties and go into different rooms. Each party then sends out a “scout,” and the two meet and decide on different things to guess (a small object in a local shop, the left eyebrow of Julius Caesar, or anything equally puzzling) and then return to the rooms, each going to his opponent’s party, when questions are asked him in quick succession, as the side guessing first is the winning one and can take possession of both “scouts.” Only those questions w-hich can he answered by “Yes,” “N T o" or “I don’t know” are allowable. As in oth er games, it is first discovered whether the object is animal, vegetable or mineral, and after this is settled questions come thick and fast until' one of the parties has won the guessing race, when a shout or whistle proclaims the fact to their opponents.

Dumb Show. Players are divided into two equal groups. One party goes outside of the room. The others stay inside and choose a verb. The outside team ia. told a word which rimes with the verb chosen. The outside team then acts out a verb which they think to be the right one without saying a word. If it is right the inside team ,piqpg hands. If wrong the inside team shakes heads, and the outside team must retire and try again. If successful teams change places. No speaking, allowed.

Chpped Words. 1. A fish. 5. Hearty. 3. A drink. Answer.—Whale, hale, ale.The Rabbit. One day a little rabbit came Right Into our back yard and sat And wagged his long gray velvet earn And sniffed about at this and that As If he wondered where he was, And then with scary little hops He scuttled up the garden paths And nibbled at the radish tops. I thought he’d come to stay with us. But when I ran across the lawn He gave a jump and tossed his head And small white tail—and then was gonel \ '
