Strychnia is an alkaloid found orig inally in the seed of the strychnos nux vomica, an exceedingly poisonous nut tree that grows in tropical climates.

A tree which has various species— several hundreds in fact—and is of some medical interest, is the acacia. The acacia Senegal furnishes us with gum arable, a substance that, while not possessed of any marked curative properties of itself, is of considerable importance in the making-up of pharmaceutical prescriptions. Europe Likes American Milk. European people have learned to like American dairy products. Exports of condensed milk to Europe rose from 16,000,000 pounds In 1914 to 530,000,- 000 pounds in 1918, and there were notable increases in exports of other dairy products. Much of this may be due to abnormal war demands, but the United States department of agricul ture believes that there is both an op portunity and a tendency to expand in this direction over pre-war require ments. A normal increase in dairying In this country, the department thinks, Is fully justified, provided there is the necessary increase in feed croDs.

Contrary to popular supposition the members of these societies do not spend their time writing letters in Greek. No doubt they could if they chose, but the kind of letter that father understands and an swers most kindly must be written in English, and the Greek letter member is usually a most faithful correspondent as far as his father is concerned. A Greek Letter Society is com monly supposed to be a gang of des perate young men who have sworn over a bloody skull to stand firmly by each other and never to reveal the name of the brother who blew up the court house. It is supposed to be so powerful that when twenty or thirty young men With pompa dour hats get together in a black cellar under a red light and whisper in case-hardened voices they can de feat the noble young candidate for Congress who is supported only by a few« shivering magnates or a plucky little railroad. Greek Letter Societies are also supposed to lead lives of crime and to encourage their devotees to en gulf large vats of virulent stimu lants. Many a bright young man who has gone to college with a pocket full of picture cards for per fect attendance at Sunday-school is supposed to have emerged from the first meeting of his secret society with a fier.ee yearning for hasheesh and the blood of tender young children. All of these suspicions arise from the fact that the Greek Letter So ciety is secret and that its members are supposed never, no, never, to re veal what has happened behind the black curtain with the cross-bones on it. Anything secret is sus. picious, as John D. Rockefeller has found out. But at the risk of In voking the horrid vengeance of the Alfalfa Delts, the Delta Kappa Son ofaguns, the Eta Bita Pies, the Sigh Whooperups, the Mu Kow Moos and Orientals Believe In 13. Thirteen has no terrors for Orientals. This was shown in Seattle, \Vush„ when the little Japanese sailing ves- i i sel Kashima Maru arrived in port from ! I the Orient with a crew of exactly 13 ; men aboard. Officers of the vessel ex- J plained that 13 is considered in the j Orient just like an even dozen or a score when it comes to manning ves sels or inviting wedding guests. Preferred "Motorhouse." in Kngland during the early days of motor vehicles, there was a decided nreference for the name "motorhouse" rather than "garage." the Omega Salves we are about to divulge the four princioal secrets of the Greetv Letter Soeiety.

On the third or next month an informal dance will be given with an imported orchestra and when the Fli Gammas hear of it they will expire with envy. 4. On next Saturday night at mid night three shuddering neophytes will be inducted into the awful mys teries of our mighty baad. Let no brother forget to bring a barrel stave. v There are a few othef dark secrets but none as black as these. Greek Letter Societies are harm less and moreover are of great good. Many a collegian has, through them, learned the Greek, alphabet so thoroughly that he has remem bered it after FTepch and Trigo nometry have cantered from blfi memory. Britisher Has Odd Motor.
