Wild Rice,

At recent meeting of the Academy
of Sciences, San Francisco, Capt. r. W.
Simpson made an interesting statement
detailing his efforts to acclimatize the
Zizania a9uatica, or wild rice, which
grows so plentiful in some ponds, lakes
and rivers of Canada, extending north
to the Mackenzie river, nearly to within
the Arctic circle. 1t grows annually
from seeds, and induces the presence of
enormous focks of wild fowl in the
autumn, who visit these rice lakes and
extensive beds for food. At Lake Erie
it grows in water six to eight feet deep,
and millions of reed birds, as well as
ducks and other water fowl, resort there,
and afford very fine shooting. Sports
mems clubs east are taking means to ez-
tend its growth, as it attracts game of
all kinds. In Rice Lake, where it grows
prolifcally, it has been cut before seed
time by manufacturers, who find its
fiber, taken from the under surface of
the water to depth of six or seven feet,
to be very valuable 1t affords the
strongest kind of fiber known for making
bank note parchment paper. The Can
adam government Is now trying to cul-
tivate and stimulate its growth all over
the inland waters of the dominion. Two
friends of Capt. Simpson have each
sown 80 bushels of this rice seed in
Wales pond, Maine, and he desires to
call attention to it, as an element likely
to prove useful in improving the shoot
ing in that state, and as such, capable
of contributing largely TO increase our
food supply. Different varieties of it
are known, but they all belong to one
single species, varying according to eli
mate and location. Capt. Simpson has
tried to make it grow in Oregon and CAL
ifornia, but had failed. He now learned
that the seed needed first to be soaked
In lukewarm water.

A Conscientious Scotchman.

A clerical gentleman, formerly settled
IN the far north of Scotland, had occasion
to speak to the ferryman over some
what dangerous bit of sea of his habits
IN respect of too free use of whisky.
In the course of their talk he said, "But
Donald, do you not think now that you
would be better without it altogether,
especially as you have to be out so often
when the sea is SO rough ?" "Well, L
dinna ken; but, Mr.. NJ, will you no be
sometimes takin' a dram yourself %
ooh, yes, +" said the minister, 81 do oc-
casionally But, Donald, 1 have been
thinking seriously about this dram
drinking, and I'll tell you what l will
do. If you will promise to give it up al
together, | will" cay well, " replied
Donald, it is very kind of you I'm sure,
but if | would gle you promise, L am

They know no alphabet:
And never horse in all these wears
Has read the words, and yet

VINO stops to drink by the way,
his thanks in his own dumb fashion
To the sisters small must pay
Years have gone by since busy hands
Wrought at the basins stone.
The kindly little sisters
Are all to women grown.

Or the name they bear to men.

They must the happier be,
