CANADA THISTLES-HOW TO KILL.

Among the weed pests the thistle is 4 great one,
but is the easiest one to Kill. And the proper way
for this is to NOV them when in fun bloom. The
stalks are then hollow far down into the roots
which penetrated hy the rains, decay for that rea
son and die.
Many say this treatment doe, not even diminish
their numbers There is good reason for this that
should be better known. Most vegetable things in
full bloom, just beginning to mature their fruit con-
tain in thc entire plant. though separated from the
soil sufficient seed nutriment to completely ripen
up the seed. Thus corn and beans cut early and
stocked TO avoid frost. rpen from the juices i'll the
stalks and vines very good corn and beans and adj
vantage is taken Of thi, law of vegetable growth,
nowadays to cut all grain less ripe than formerly to
prevent loss from overripcning. Now this law ap-
plies with great force to such Juicy, rank growing
weeds as thisleS, dock, &C.. 50 that simply NOW
ing them in the green and bloom state, and leaving
them where they fall. is to allow them, like the
other things. TO ripcn their seed. and to sow Il flu

This cutting down weeds to ripen and renew
themselves in future crops, shows how the public

NATURAL SCIENCE.

Fyervlhug in this world. and probably in all
worlds exists under two forms material and i'm
material, or substance and spirit, matter and mind.
Science in general means knowledge of any or all
of the various things which belong TO those two
classes Of eNistencc>; and derives its particular
names from the things To which they are applied; =
if 10 matters concerning the mind, is called men-
tai moral science; if TO substance or matter it is
called material or natural seience-sometilnes call
cd physical science also. the original word from
which physical is derived meaning precisely the
same thing rs nature substance. Mental or NOR

taste. Where the milk is in considerable quantity
it would be better to place it in some convenient
kettle vessel, and scad it altogether and then
strain. The scald need be only Slight-ju just enough

Of the PerriOtt.
New YORK, May 8.-A Washington
dispatch says the State Department TO-
day received q report from Govern
ment officer in New York in reference to
the story of the departure of the steamer
Arago laden with arms and munitions
of war, and carrying a thousand uni
formed men, destined for the insurgent
army in Cuba. SecretaryFi was we'll
informed in regard to the steamer Ia
question, as he had previously been noti-
fed by the Peruvian Minister that ne
had purchased or chartered the AragO to
convey stores to his government. She
sailed from New York with regular pa
pers, and with no attempt at conceal
ment.
The report that she had on board q
regiment of men and large amount OF
arms, &C., created much amusement
between Minister Garcia and the Secre-
tary of State. The Arago did not have
soldier on board; neither did she car
~ any arms. A small amount Of pow
der and some ammunition and certain
commercial stores composed her cargo,
and she carried only her regular crew.
She sailed under the auspices of the
Peruvian Government, and cannot,
therefore without violating good fafth,
be used except in the manner specified
in her papers.
1t appears, however, that on Tuesday
there sailed from New York the steamer
Perriott, chartered by Cuban, con-
tanning war material, and carrying
about 300 men. Her clearance papers
showed that her destination was Jamai-
ca or some peaceful port, and that the
prohibition relating to arms, &c, had
been erased, rs had frequently been
done before, with the knowledge of the
Spanish Consul at New York.
1t is stated that the steamship Qua
ker City is being remodel ed, her saloon
deck taken off, is coaling rapidly, and
will soon sail for au unknown destina-
ton. She is believed to be in the in
tereSts of the Cubans.

guns. At noon all the Federal forts in

city were set ringing, and steam whis-

was illuminated, presenting brilliant
appearance. The procession was the
longest and most enthusiastic ever wit

tied the most hearty interest in ths
demonstration. The military and civic
display was grand, In addition to STATE
militia, all the available limited
States troops from several forts partici.
pated in the occasion, while civic So
cieties turned out in full ranks. The
city and harbor presented magnificent
sight during the day, principally in
being draped with banners of every ma.
ton, and the streets were throBged
with excited and joyous people dressed
in fine style. A dispatch from the juno
