FROM TIlI; MISSION.

ED. TELLER. II suppose al the
readers of the TELLER have heard
something more or less of this old
Catholic Mission, situated thirty miles
from Ft. Cuur dAlene on Crur d.
Alcne river. To ge. to the Mission
you take tn. f,mou, Mullln road, and
things so very well until you reach
Fourth of July canyon, 50 named
from being the spot where Colon,l
Mulan struck camp on that date 1861.
Here, for short distance it is any
thing but inviting, and travellers
heart must not fail him, knowing there
are better things beyond. After get
ting through the canyon you have a
very good road to this point. Leav-
ing the Mission the road crosses and
recrosses the river sixty-,hrce time be-
fore reaching the summit of Bitter
Root mountains. | have heard it said
Colonel Mullln was n cold water man
and very fond Of fishing 1 presume
that is the reason he kept his road in
such close proximity to the river. A
few words about the Mission: doubt
if u more beautiful spot could he found
in this large territory Of Idaho. A
traveller havin. travelled over the road
is aereeahly surprised when reaching
here to see the large fields II every
side, the numerous buildings, and the
noble old church occupying a promint
position in the crntcr as if monarch
of all it surveyed. The church is GER

Old Scottish Servants.

"A century ago, IN many Scotch fami-
lies OF the better class, it was customary
for servants to spend lifetime in the
service OF one family. AS might be ex-
pected, such long associations often
made the old servant pert, and, 1t
times, insolent. Dean Ramsay gives
some amusing incidents of this effect.
AT dinner-party, a Mrs. Murray, Il
neighbor, and a woman of large es-
tate. was among the guests. She was
not, however, Il favorite with Thomas,
the old and spoiled servant o. the fam
lily. During the dinner, the hostess
noticed that her guest was looking for
a salt-spoon. Thomas was told to pass
her a spoon. He paid no attention to
the order, which was repeated in a per-
emptory manner. "Last time Mrs.
Murray dined here. we lost Il salt-spoon,"
replied the cd man, coolly.
An old coachman in II noble family
became so troublesome that the lady
gave him notice of dismissal. 1t was
useless. for he promptly replied, e." Ma,
ia, my lady. l druve we to your mar
riage, and shall stay to drive We to
your burial
Yet spoilt though they were, these
old servants would have died rather
than any member of the family should
suffer injury. They were like the man
whom General Cameron once rebuked
for abu-i ing Senator Tom Benton.
He is my brother, sir" retorted the
man, land I'll abuse him as much as |
please. But l want YOU to understand,
sir, that don't al Oy any other man to
do it. - Iouth's CompdaioN.

Street Railways in Paris.

Versailles IS reached from Paris by
| what is termed the American Rail
way" AS much resembles an American
railway as an ocean steamer does q
canal-boat, street car q long carriage
on car which is seemingly not essential
whether car runs on track or not. Paris
has brought the tedious system of
street cars to perfection, Grand OBJ
ject in Paris is to run as few cars as
possible, with the longest possible waits
between starts. No stops on the street
for passengers. Passengers must go to
"station" and wait for car. Stations
about a quarter OF a mile apart. Clerk
at each station. Conductor carries a
''way bill'' of passengers after the old
stag e-coach fashion. Vast amount of
stamping and sealing. This for each
passenger who wants to ride forty
rods. Stamping in blue ink, stamping
in red. Dignity and fuss of officials
awful to contemplate. But a
Frenchman thinks that pin dropping
in Paris drops a little louder than a
pin drops anywhere else. Top of street
periale; fare outside five cents, inside
Six cents. Better air and view outside.
Gauis object to open windows and fresh
air. VIII bear any sort of smell to
keep warm. Fuel and heat very expen-
sive in Paris. Takes them ten minutes
to change car horses. Same old har-
ness, with ten times the necessary num-
Der of straps to unbuckle, as used with
state coach of Louis XIV. and two aged
Bremen hostlers to buckle and un buckle,
who drove stage in the time of the First
Napoleon. and to whom time is no OBJ
ject. My daily experience and obser-
walton on riding home from Paris to St.
Cloud via Route de al Refine. Often see
four street cars in line filled with people
above and below, waiting to start. In
terval of fifteen minutes starting time
between each car. Last car of the four
one hour to wait. But these Gauls
seem to like it, seem to have learned to
wait; not to Labor and to watt but
simply to wait. Prentice Nult0rd, IN

A subject which has received little
attention, but which is of great impor-
lance. and would well repay for all the
labor required, is the weed ;ng of grass
fields. No one expects to succeed with
| the boed crops without giving a great
| deal of attention to the destruction OF
all kinds of weeds which may make
| their appearance. Yet in moving fields
few give this subject any attention, and
it is common. sight to see fields in
tested and disfgured with the ox-eye
daisy, yellow daisy. thistles, docks, and
great many other kinds of worthless
plants that, by little care and timely
| labor. might have been easily eradica-
ted, improving both the appearance of
the field and the quality of the hay.
The ox-eye daisy is perennial plant;
yet if it is not allowed to ripen its seed.
the vitality of the root is soon exhaust
cd. and it will disappear. Some claim
that if kept closely cut it will not sur
vive more than two years. The writer
has cleaned a roadside, which was COW
cred with it. by repeated cuttings and
not allowing the seed to ripen. Some
times the cutting was done a number of
times III a season, and now only here
and there plant makes its appearance.
In a wet season like the present, docks
may be pulled up blythe roots. but in a
dry season it will be found nearly i'm
possible to do so. Thistles are great
nuisance. but may be reduced, and in
many cases killed. by cutting two or
three times in a season. Then if tho
land is heavily MANFRED, so that a
heavy crop of grass is encouraged to
grow, they will be seriously checked, if
not entirely destroyed. No plant can
Mt
as the root soon becomes exhausted I'M
less the top is allowed to grow and
draw nutriment from the atmosphere,
and thistles are no exception to the
rule. The great trouble is that people
make no effort to prevent their growth,
but complain of their presence and
spread.
There are a great many other plants
and weeds which make their appear
ance in the fields. which should be de-
stroved. and not be allowed to draw
the strength from the soil, or injure the
quality of the hay. Clean fields are an
ornament to any farm, and reflect ia
vorably on the character of the farmer.
They may be made and kept so by
little judicious labor done at the right
time. Hedge rows, no one who lays
any claim to being farmer will toler-

and the land placed under cultivation

which is becoming more general every
year, is to NOW the roadside and waste
places. and not allow any noxious plant

time 1 noticed that a number of railroad
companies cut everything between the

Along railroads and highways have

measures taken to prevent the ripening

agricultural societies to offer premiums
