What an Army of Toad-Stools DID,

Did ever you think how strong the grow
ing plants must be to force their way up
through the earth ? Even the green tips
and the tiny blades Of grass, that bow be,
fore breath, have to exert a force in com.
ing through that, in proportion to their
size, is greater than you would exert in
rising from under mound OF cobble-stoncs.
And think of toad-stools- soft, tdn-
der things they are, breaking at touch.
Yet, 1 can tell you, they're quite mighty
in their way.
Charles Kingsley, the celebrated English
priest and novelist, was a very close obser-
yer Of nature. One evening he noticed
particularly, square, fiat stone that, I should
say, was about as long and rs broad as three
big burdock leaves. He thought it would
require quite a strong man to lift stone
like that. In the morning he looked again,
and 10 the stone WIS raised so that he
could see the light under it. What was
his surprise to find, on closer examination.
that crop of toad-stools had sprung up
under the stone in the night and raised it
up on their little round shoulders as they
came
I'm told that Canon Kingsley gives an
account of this in his book crlled "Christ-
mas in the West Indies" but it was in
England that he saw it.
Knowing that he was so close an obser-
yer, shouldn't be one bit surprised if he
went still further and found out that one
secret Of the toad-stools being able to lift
the stone was that they didn't waste time
and strength in urging each other to the
work, but each one did his very best with
out quarreling about whose tarn 1t was, or
whether Pink Shoulder or Brown Button
was skirking his share. But then tho
toad-stools must have been strong, too.-

Want to Pay 1t Back.

The New Jersey Senate passed resolu-
ton, offered by Senator Hill, of Morris,
directing the Representatives of the State
in Congress to urge the settlement of a
certain class of claims against the several
States. In 1886 the United States general
government found itself in possession OF
S26,OG0,O00 Of surplus revenues, and re-
distributed it among the States with the
understanding that should it ever be wanted
it would be called for and must be restored.
In most if not all Of the States it was used
as a school fund. Mr.. Hills resolution Is,
for the repayment of the moneys. The
amount due from the State of New Jersey
is $764,6 AZ.
