Newspapers and preachers are dis
cussing the roller:skating craze, for the
lack Of more exciting topics. The Bos-
ton Herald argues that the skating ma
mia must of necessity be a short lived
one. Sixteen or eighteen years ago we
had tb5 yeIocipede mania in the same
way, and, if it had not been for the fact
that the ont-of5door bicycle was de-
veloped from this old fashioned ma
chine, its existence would now be a
matter merely Of history. Unless the

their vitality. All vegetation obeys
the injunction to multiply and rep1en-
ish the earth, but with the greatest
determination when there are present
suffering 1l and impending death. "a
drought Shastens the processso repro
duction, and insufficient nourishment
encourages an early If not an abun-
dant fruitiulness. In climate where
hot and cold or wet and dry seasons
regularly succeed each other, many of
our most common economic plants
have adapted themselves to these
stated changes of outward conditions,
and run their course during q single
growing season. Such plants consti-
tute that large portion Of our vegeta-
tor. known as the animals The great
sunflower, that grows into giant in a
single season, and defies the summer
sun and storm, falls an easy victim to
the frosts of autumn. 1t, however,
prepared the way for many successors
in the ripened seeds, each one (which
when given favorable conditions will
terminate, grow, reproduce its kind,
and thus finish another cycle in the
realm of vegetable life. The bean
plant, in different way, climbs its APP
pointed pole, enjoys the same sunshine
and shower, produces its blossoms, fills;
long pods with ripened seeds, and
gives up its life like all its fellows in,
the field. A corn plant completes its
growth in not far from q hundred days,
and leaves its accumulated vitality
stored up in the grains upon the ear.
The prospective life and activity of a
whole field Of waving corn may be
considered as stored up in few pecks
Of apparently. lifeless Sseed-corn safely
housed in TIE granary. We thus see
that in the annual plants the life Of
the species Isl, so to speak, carried
over from one growing season to an
other in the ripened, seed. The seed
is also the form in which plant-life
is easily transported from place to
place. The seed of some hedgerow2
weed, as it becomes loosened from its
attachment. upon the lifeless mother
plant, and is blown for rods or even
miles over the surface of the 'inorusted
snow, is a familiar and perhaps strik-
ing example that may enforce the
meaning to be here conveyed. The
young plautletin the seed, snugly pack
ed within thick coats, is preserved from
death, and at the same time is carried
far from the place where it; was pro-
duced., The seed is the offspring of
the plant and the childhood of its
kind, though SO fashioned and pro-
tected that it can pass safely through
a period of drought or'cold when It's

New York Special: The general term Of the
supreme court ordered the discharge of Becky
Jones, the refractory witness In the Hammers

most remarkable cases of contulnacy on
record was that Of Becky Jones' She was
q servant in the Hammersley family and, dur
ing the court proceedings incident to the ad-
justment of the dispute over Hammersley's
will was called as q witness. She refused
ing the domestic relations of her employers

was nearly year ago. Becky, while in pris-
on, was frequently asked if she was ready to
testify, but in every instance refused, express
ing her determination to spend the rest Of her
life in the Jail rather than bear witness in tho
case. Becky is about sixty years old.
