The Mahommedans are very super
stitious touching the beard. They bury
the hairs which come off in combing it,
and break them first, because they be.
lieve that angels have charge of every
hair, and that they gain them their dis
missal by breaking it. Selim I. was the
first Sultan who shaved his beard, con-
trary to the law of the Koran. 81 do
it, "said he, apolegetically to the scandal
lied and orthodox multi, "to prevent
my vizier leading me by it.''
He cared less for it than some of our
ancestors, two centuries ago, did for
their own. They used to wear paste
board covers over them in the night,
lest they should turn upon them and
rumple them in their sleep.

HE UTILIZATION OF WEEDS
Ralph Waldo Emerson has described
weeds as plants whose use has not been
discovered. Too often men are content
to call a plant weed and then proceed
to exterminate it without making any
attempt to find out its possible uses. An
Indian writer, Mr.. George w. Strettell,
considers from his experience gained in
the Indian Forest Department, that a
large revenue might be derived from
such plants, especially those yielding
iber-plants which require no care in
cultivation, which will grow in land ut
terly unsuited to any other crops, and
which yield fiber practically proved to
be well adapted to the manufacture of
paper and textile fabrics. He advocates
the cultivation, at first, if need be ex-
perimentally, and on a small scale, of
several different plants, and especially
of one, the Calotropis gigantea. The
fiber of this plant has been pronounced
by paper-makers and manufacturers of
textile fabrics as excellent; and he shows
that after allowing for the
cost of cultivation and of extracting the
fiber, the raw material might be sold at
such price as to add considerably to
the Imperial revenue.
Next to the discovery of plants yield
ing products now in demand for indus
trial or medical purposes, we may rank
The invention of new uses for the pro-
ducts of plants now considered useless.
But small portion of the vegetable
world has yet been made tributary to
man; and from past experience it is safe
10 predict that even the most noxious of
weeds may yet prove to be of the high
EST utility.-Sctentifc american.

Of education be esteemed complimentary,
then, surely, have always had singular
infelicity in interpreting the use OF Ian

Crago has the habit Of putting new and
noble meanings into his words which had
entirely escaped my notice while engaged
in the study OF other masters.
1t is admitted by both Mr.. Crago and
myself that the late meeting Of the Asso-
citation was not Us successful as had been
hoped. As interpreted his paper ut any
rate, he attributed that lack OF success in
large measure to the teachers and citizens
of Parkersburg. Now, no one regretted
more than l did that we had not larger
and more enthusiastic meetings, but ma
ture consideration has convinced me that
our people were not greatlyto blame. Al
good local committee was appointed, con-
sisting OF County Superintendent Staple

men did their duty, aud made such ar
