Weeds as Water Purifiers.

II is pleasant, if only for the sake OF
variety, to be able to say good word Tor
weeds, as Mr.J. j. Mechi does in the fol-
lowing communication to the London
agricultural Gazette:
Into my pond runs stream of twenty.
five gallons per minute OF pure water from
drain which cut twelve feet deep some
thirty-odd years ago. Weeds will grow
and thrive in this pond and we have, an
nually to rake out large quantities of
them. They look very beautiful as they
grow in the pellucid water, which is used
for household purposes. Said visitor to
me one day, If you had pair of swans
your pond would be free of weeds" so a
kind friend presented me with pair, and
very soon they cleared the pond, pulling
the weeds up by the roots and feeding on
them. Ny family were delighted with
the graceful swans and the removal OF
weedy distractions TO boating but although
the pond was free of weeds the water was
no longer pure and pellucid, but most de-
cidedly muddy in taste, and when the
steam issued from the kettle the smell OF
mud was unmistakable. Well, no one
thought il could be the swans, but at last
came TO that conclusion, and, despite fam
ily and other circumstances, returned them
to their original owner. After short
period the weeds reappeared, and, as they
Increased in bulk, the water gradually as
sumed its pellucidity and purity, and
g Richard was himself again" What the
weeds do for the water and its occupants
the land vegetation does for the air; men,
animals and other living creatures
poison it, while vegetation absorbs the in
furious gases, and reconverts them into
wholesome food and fuel for man and
beast, filing the atmosphere with that
precious oxygen without which men and
animals and other living creatures could
no longer exist. So it is in the vast ocean,
whose living occupants and vegetation
probably exceed in quantity that which is
on land. We owe to the river vegetation
much of the purity of water 1t is the ex-
cess of impurities from our towns which
are beyond its powers of appropriation.

City Bee Culture.

A manufacturer of summer drink,
which seems To be quite popular during
the present heated weather, has taken a
store in the neighborhood of our Offices
and placed in the window bee
hive, i'm which, in full view of the crowd
which constantly gathers, the busy insects
make the honey which, IL IL asserted, ~
mingled with the cooling beverage The
window is open at the top, and the bees
are allowed TO collect their materials from
the street refuse. The honey seems to be
of excellent quality, and the bees require
no further care nor attention than If for
aging among their fayoriie clover fields
At the fair of the American Institute last
fall very fine case Of honey was exlib-
tied, the contents Of which, we were IN
formed, had been obtained by the bees en-
tircIy from the swill barrels, the sugar
house waste, and the flowers in the public
parks Of the city. There was nothing
about the material 10 distinguish 1t from
the best honey made from clover, and II
should and probably did find a market
Just as readily. Thequantity OF such honey
Welding refuse wasted in the metropolis Is
enormous. Why then should 1t not
be more widely utilized through the
bees? Private agriculture can be car
ried on Just as well on house-top or In
back yard as upon farm, and anyone
with such space at his disposal might
easily manage few hives and build up
paying business, ard IL would Afford
amusement to the experimenter and bis
friends. There are many people out oi
the thousands seeking work here just at
present to whom some such new occnpa-
tion-for such bee culture would be, thus
carried on in the city-might be OF con,
siderable assistance In eking out sup
port during the stagnation Of business
peculiar 10 the heated term.
A contemporary suggests bee culture az
an excellent employment for women, an
idea with which we fully concur. case
IL mentioned of lady who started with
four hives purchased for $40, and in flye
wears she declined 10 sell her stock Tor
B 500, il not being enough. Besides real.
izing this increase on her capital, she sold
twenty-five hives and 43G pounds Of honey,
Another instance Is on record OF man
who, with six colonies 10 start with, in i've
years cleared 5000 pounds Of honey and
fifty four colonies. Fine honey readily
fetches, at retail, from twenty-five 10 forty
cents pound. --Scieattfe Anaeytcan.

that he was evidently unaware that he
had been doing wrong; he merely
thought, as many children of his age
would, that to hear the pebbles ego

amusement. Most people would have
considered that for this piece of mischief
q sharp reprimand would have been suf-
fcient punishment. But not so the rev.
ereod Chairman of the Alcester Bench
of Magistrates. In Robert Gordon, of
the mature age of eight years, he evil
IDENTITY discovered the germ of a future
terrible maletactor.
Some time since Mr.. Patrick Walshe.
of Kilmallock, political prisoner, who
had been, two or three years since, in
company with several others. banished
to America, returned home on account
of illhealth. He was soon bounced up
on by the police, arrested and thrown
again into prison. and at the Limerick
assizes, last week, was prosecuted on
the charge Of having returned to his ma
tive land in contravention OF the terms
of his ''pardon!" The correspondent of
the Daily Erpress, writing Of the pro.
ceedings in the Crown Court in Lime
rick, relates as follows the result of the
trial:
Patrick Walshe was put forward on
the charge of having broken the coadi-
ton of his pardon BY having returned
from America. Mr.. NJ. O'Loughloen APP
peared for the accused.
DR.. Thomas James Gelson deposed
that he is surgeon of the county Jail; he
attended the prisoner since he was lodg-
ed in Jail; the prisoner was suffering
from lung disease, and treated for it !;
he believed seven years penal servitude
would endanger his life; from his
knowledge of such cases, he believed
that if the accused had remained in
America, he would have died of con-
sumption.
His Lordship said lie had no power to
interfere with the original sentence, the
prisoner having violated the condition
of his pardon. He would now sentence
him to six years penal servitvde.
Mr.. OLoughlen-Well, then, sooner
than undergo the Imprisonment, he
would 60 to America again.
Mr.. De Moleyns-He cannot be per
mitted to do that now.
His Lordship A memorial can be pre-.
sented to the Executive, and will make
Il recommendation, nst that the prisoner
should be left at large entirely. ! will
stay sentence until the memorial is
made. The sentence is that he undergo
six years penal servitude, concurrent
with the original sentence

Samples of English Justice,

There is in England a place called

three magistrates, who, having the local
bench to themselves on a recent occa-
sion, sent little girl. child, to prison
tor two weeks, with four wears in a re-
formatory to follow. for the heinous
crime OF plucking geranium, This
seems Incredible, bui it is true.
Another case of Clerical Justices ius-
tice, says the London Echo, has to be re-
corded in the annals of administrative
laundering. The Rev. G. r. GRAY.
Chairman of the Alcester Bence of Mag

years old. named Robert Gordon. to one

years in reformatory. for having plac-

way. The child denied the offence. but
