are increasing under the protection of
these laws, and in some New England
cities and villages there are long
stretches of front yards and lawns
without any defensive protection from
the travelled street or roadway. The
Judge in this case ruled that the owner

HalcyOn DAYS.

According to the ancients, the king
fisher, called in Greek, Halcyon (from
"the sea- and "brooding upon" }, was so
named from Halcyone, a daughter of
1Eolus, and the wife of Ceyx. The
story goes that Ceyx was drowned
while on his way to consult the oracle.
and that, in a dream that night Hal
cyone was informed of the fate of her
husband. Next morning, as she wan
de1ed disconsolately on the shore, she
found his body washed up by the
waves, and, overcome with grief, threw
herself into the sea. The gods, in ad.
miration of their mutual affection.
changed them into kingfshers.
The kingfshers were supposed, at
that time to make their nests during
the seven days preceding the winter
solstice (about December 2lst), and to
lay their eggs during the seven days
directly following it; and it was a pop
ular superstition that the sea remained
calm and tranquil while they reared
their young. And, therefore, these
fourteen days were called "halcyon
days." or days of calm, pleasant wealth
er. On this account the ancients re-
garded the halcyon as the symbol of
tranquility, and because it lived near
the water it was consecrated to Thetis.
a sea-nymph. The bird about which
such wonderful stories were told was
probably nothing more than the COM
mon kingfsher Of Europe, the habits
of which are very much like those of
the belted kingfsher.-St. Nicholas.

A few years later, and that lad,
grown to manhood, stood at the bar of
a court before a jury which had just
brought in verdict of "guilty" against
him for some crime in which he had
been concerned. Before he was SEN

said, among other things: "My down

Mothers cross" said Maggie, COM
ing into the kitchen with a pout on
her lips.
Her aunt was busy ironing, but she
looked up and answered Maggie:
Then it is the very time for you to
be pleasant and helpful. Mother was
awake a great deal in the night with
the poor baby"
Maggie made no reply. She put on
her hat and walked off into the gar
den. But new idea went with her.
THE very time TO be helpful and
pleasant is when other people are
cross. Sure enough thought she,
"that would be the time when it would
do the most good.
81 remember when l was sick last
year / was so nervous that if any one
spoke to me, could hardly help being
cross; and mother never got angry nor
out of patience, but was Just as gen.
tie with me- ought to ray it back
now, and ! will"
And she sprang up from the grass
where she had thrown herself, and
turned a face full of cheerful resolu-
tfon toward the room where her moth.
er sat soothing and tending fretful,
teething baby.
Maggie brought out the pretty ivory
balls, and began to jingle them for the
little one.
He stopped iretting, and smile
dimpled the corners of his lips.
Couldn't I take him out in his car
riage mother? It's such a nice morn
ing" she asked.

said her mother?
The hat and sacque were brought
and the baby was soon ready fC' his
ride.
"I'l keep him out as long rs he is
good," said Maggie, "and you must lie
on the sofa and get a nap vhil" I am
gone. You are looking dreadfully
tire :"
The kind words and the kiss that
accompanied them were almost too
much for the mother
The tears rose to her eyes, and her
voice trembled, as she answered.:
"Thank you, dearie, it will do me a
world of good if you can keep him out
an hour; and the air will do him good,
too. My head aches badly this morn
ing"
What a happy heart beat in Maggies
bosom as she trundled the little car
riage up and down on the walk!
She had done real good. She had
given back a little Of the help and
forbearance that had so often been
bestowed upon her. She had made
her mother happier, and given her
time to rest.
She resolved to remember and act
upon her aunt's good word: 1.-THE very
time to be helpful and pleasan' when
everybody is tired and CROSS"

clasped in mine her tender hama,
And side by side, with lettering pace
And pausing sometimes face TO face,
We wandered slowly on the strand.
We lett behind laughing crowd;
We felt no need for company;
Ourselves, our thoughts, the beach, the sea,
the clear Elue heavens that DER us bowed,
Made us perfect solitude.
Where all with peace and joy was filled;
Where jarring fears and cares were SLilled,
And speech were interruption rude.
So on we wandered, hand in hand,

So heart content, so fond and dear,
Alone upon that pleasant strand.
And when our footsteps we retraced,
The comrades we had left behind
Exclaimed: "Well, what's upon your mind

"While wandering slowly and alone7
You are not wont to stroll away;
What do the wild waves say to-day,

PeOnage i'm Mexico.

The system of peonage still exists in
Mexico. In case of debt the debtors
personal services, or wages earned
from another employer, belonging to
his creditors until the debt is paid; but
it has been modified of late years, so
that it does not now apply to debts
over SO. If a man trusts another
over that sum, he does so at his own
peril, if he has no property. He can
command his services up to $40 worth,
but no farther. The old ife-servitude
is thus done away with, to a great
extent, although many of the lower
classes manage to keep perpetually in
debt, and, consequently, practically
slaves. The law. whether it be good
or bad, is executed in Mexico.

Animals Before Engines.

Generally cow will stand facing the
engine with horns uplifted until the
cow catcher reaches her and rolls her
from the track. Trains arc occasion
ally wrecked by an animal rolling in
under the locomotives drivers. Trains
kill great numbers of sheep every
year. A few years ago flock of 200
sheep were being driven along the
dusty road near Yarmouth, Me. The
stock stampeded from the road to the
track, huddled into the narrow notch,
and the locomotive moved clean-cut
swath through them, splashing the
track and rocks with blood. Out of
200 only 80 were unhurt. A hog is
the worse to run into, and flock of
turkeys, once on a track, are there
only to be killed, no amount of whist
ling being powerful enough to frighten
them away.

Germs Of Disease.

1t is fortunate that only an infnit-
esimally small proportion of the germs
of disease that are always abroad in
the atmosphere can ever meet with
the combination of conditions that is
essential for their development. Ac-
cording to Professor Won Pettenkofer,
of Munich, germ, ere it becomes ca
pable of producing actual disease, must
not only find susceptible subject, but
must also find that subject in afavora-
BILE locality and at favorable time;
and, as disease germs are not, as a
rule, very long-ived, the vast majori-
ty of them die without encountering
the necessary conditions. IL such
were not the case, it is certain that the
human race would cease to exist; for
the chief of the micrographical depart
ment Of the Paris observatory has re-
Gently discovered that the number of
disease germs of one kind or another
contained in cubic metre of the air
of the French capital is in winter T.
900; in May, $4,000; in June, $4,000;
in August, $4,000; in October, 14,000;
and in November 5000; and it cannot
be supposed that the atmosphere in
London and other large cities is much
less tainted than it is in Paris, or that
the air, even of the country districts,
is wholly uncontaminated.- James

A Unique Farm In England where
Plants and Flowers Used for MedicRI
aud other Purposes are Grown.

A Unique Farm In England where
Plants and Flowers Used for M edicHl
aud other Purposes are Grown.
Near the small village Of Mitcham
in the English county of Kent, is
farm which is peculiar, and is the only
one of its peculiar kind in the world.
1t is used for the production Of plants
and flowers for the manufacture OF
essential oils, scents, and medical prep
arations, as we'll as for their use direct
ly in medicine. There are acres OF
roses for making rose-Water; Niolets,
lavender, peppermint, and other herbs
for oils and scents; icorice, grown
for its roots, which contain peculiar
kind of sugar that is found in no other
plant, and known as 'glycyrrhlZlne,'
and appears as the common black
sweet gummy substance used as a
medicine for coughs and colds; chamo-
mile, grown for its pleasantly bitter
and tonic flowers; the white-fowered
poppy, whose round seed capsules are
used for making extracts and for fer
mentations; lovage, whose root is used
as an aromatic stimulant; species of
cucumber from which a purgatiye
drug, called "elaterium" is made; the
red cedar, grown for its leaves, from
which a powerful medicinal oil is dis
titled; white tlowered plant, "S0lan-
um nigrum," so called because il be-
longs TO the family "Solanacea," to
which the potato and tomato belong,
and which has blackberries that are
yirulently poisonous; also the related
plants belonging to the same family,
and equally poisonous, "Atropa bella
donna," the fatal deadly nightshade,
which has beautiful purple flowers
formed very much like the blossoms
Of the potato; the common henbane,
and our very common jimson weed,
both well known as poisonous drugs
used in medicine. Here are grown
sweet and bitter, fragrant and fetid,
wholesome and deadly, beautiful and
repulsive, and all derive their opposite
qualities from the same kindly soil,
the same warm sun, the same gentle,
sweet dew-drops, the same benevolent
showers, and the same liie-giving air.
From this garden and laboratory,
with its stills and alembics, the whole
world is supplied in part, and the
business of this Mltcham herb farm is
world renowned. It's harvest time is
a scene of picturesque activity. Many
women and children are busy here
in the fields Of roses; there among the
white-fowered chamomile, which is
grown much as our common sweet
herbs, the plants three or four feet
apart each way, and is planted annual
ly. Lavender and pepperment last
three years, new beds being made by
transplanting from the old beds sue
cessively. Licorice is newly planted
every spring from cuttings of the root,
which are long, and 60 down several
feet into the soil. The business of the
farm is a rich one because it is high.
" skilled one, and is a branch of agri-
culture in which there is very little
! competition.
