The. Corn Plant.
Among the products of Peru may
he mentioned the cacti, as the inhiibrt~
unts call it. or what. is more generally
known as the coon. which is the dried
leaf of a shrub that grmvs wiid on the
mountains of Peru and Bolivia. This
shrub is also cultivated by those who
know its uses and who reside along the‘
elevated districts of tlzose countries——
from ‘JJ‘UJ to 5.0th feet above the sea
level. The Indians of Peru many years
ago ascertained the stimulating proper-
ties to this shrub. the leaves of which
they would dry and chew in about the
same way that many in this country do
tobacco. As the leaf has a bitter taste,
the Indiuns‘mix it with quickliine toini-
prove the tlovor. The aroma of the plant
is also penetrating and when the leaves
are (lying or dried appears to haven pow-
erful eliect on the senses. Prescott in
his Work speaks of the invigorating me
titre of the plant. and says thatthe I‘c—
ruviun lndiuns, with a small supply of
it in their pouches and a handful of
roasted maize. will perform wearisomc
. journeys. day after day. without fatigue.
or :it least without compluint. This fact
is continued by llr. Thomson, who. in
his Encyclopedia of (‘hcmistry. says the

to tliirty‘ hours without sleep and cover

Hints About Horses.
Bad driving will often fatally injure a
horse in a few miles, while skillful driv‘
mg would make the journey in less time
and, leave the horse as fresh as when he
started. Drive slow when the animal is
full of food and water; but after the
muscles are linibercd and tho svstcm
emptied. gucrensc the speed. Then check
up and let. the horse cool off before stop-
ping, and there would be less danger of
taking cold and of stilf muscles. and less
necessity for rulibiiigdown. Drive slow
up hill and down. and make good time
on level ground and on moderate de~
scents. Never keep the same unit and
speed for it long time. for a change of
gait is equivalent to a rest.
Never ride a horse without first. making :
his acquaintance and securing his good
will. (:0 to his head, a leak kindlv, put
him, look in his eyes. Vhether vdu are
a friend or foe, he will judge b'v your
voice. your breath. Horses jiidgé a man
as quickly :is a man does] horse. Feed
and water abundantly of. night, after
work and the animal has had time to
rest and cool off. Feed moderutclv in
the morning or before work. l‘artliiuns
and Arabs prepare their horses for hard
drives by fastingr rujhcr than feasting. :
More horses are injurt‘d by hard driving
on it full stomach than by any other pro—
0083. Never let u horse eat or drink much
when he is hot from work. Studv vour
horse. treat him according to his iinfure.
and make him your friend and he will"
‘ do better and safer service.
