Americans inform us that about 220
species of weeds have been imported into
their country, mostly from the British
islands. In 1887 there were said to be
only 1877. The common plantain il
known aiming the Indians as the Eng.
glishman's foot. as though following
the steps of the white settlers. The
common yellow toadflax was, it is said,
introduced by n Mr.. Raustead as n gar
den flower, and is now known rs the
Ranstead weed. In 1888. it had overrun
the pastures in the inhabited parts of
Pennsylvania, and was the cause of bit
ter complaints.
Chickwced is said to have been intro
duced as bird-seed. and the Scotch this
tie arrived in II bedtick filled with thistle
down. Feathers being cheap, the bed of
down was replaced by feathers, and the
former thrown by the wayside. The
seed 1901 found "A congenial home. There
is n troublesome American water-weed,
however (Anacharis alsinastrum), which
has avenged our transatlantic cousins
threefold by choking our ponds, rivers
and canals. Another little intruder from
the cape (~azolla pinnata) may be trouble
some. 1t is n charming little aquatic,
and most interesting under the micro
scope. Some one had thrown "A hand

The sea of Galilee is probably lever
more beautiful than at this season of the
year. Wherever its shores. are cult
grain. The chief beauty. however. lies
in the oleander bushes that fringe the
lake all around. Just at this season they
are brilliant with flaming flowers. They
grow in clumps about ten feet high, and
the flowers are so plentiful that each
clump has the aspect of a large bouquet
arranged with naturalness that defics
competition. The plain of Gennesareth
is partly cultivated, but still retains its
desolate appearance. Huge weeds make
impossible barriers along its many
marshy brooks.
This plain, from FL Mejdel (ancient
Magdala) to Khan Meiryeh, is one of
the most highly favored spots in the
world from the agricultural standpoint.
Well might Josephus speak of it as 1.-THE
ambition Of nature;' there never was
more fertile soil, and copious springs
send perennial streams %meandering in
every direction. This spot will be a
min of gold to some wise capitalist as
soon as a good government will guaran-
tee perfect securit-. The thorn trees
which we met at Jericho seem to thrive
along the whole course of the Jordan,
and ARE everywhere the home of nu-
merous pigeons. These are especially
plentiful on the plain of Gennesareth,
and are very tame.-Cor. Hartford
Courant.

Every individual must be regarded as
a very complex mingling of widely diff
ferent bloods. To go no farther back
than the grandparents he must be com,
posed of at least fourteen different ma
lures. II is not to be wondered at that
such a multiplicity of combinations
should lead to great variations. The
wonder seems rather that members of n
family should resemble one another as
much as they undoubtedly do. Some
times in face, sometimes in form, fire.
quently in the gait, gesture, and tone of
voice. family peculiarities make them
selves apparent. To many of these traits
Mr.. Francis Gallon has devoted his at
t%ention. His latest interest has been
shown in the color of the eye. The tints
of the eye. for the purposes of his in

The belief in omens is perhaps, after
all, the most incurable of all supersti-
tons. The statistics of a French insur-
ance mpan demonstrate that any de-
lay in the departure of railway travellers
stimulates the sale of accident policies.
even though that delay should imply no
suspicion Of negligence on the part Of
the railroad company. A Partisan buys
a ticket to Brussels, steps by mistake
into a Havre train discovers his .blunder
at the next station, and buys an insur-
ance ticket before venturing to start in
the right direction. The Brussels road
may be the safest in Europe, but he ac-
cepts his mistakes as a hint that Provi-
dence interfered to head him back az
the Texans would express it. 1t may be

be on the safe side. Nine out of ten

"Botanists' parasolsT have been intro
duced in Paris for the use of Gallo bellies
during the country excursions. If the
fair pedestrian wishes to gather some
flowers OF punches of fruit growing high
above her, or in the midst of a thorny
hedge, she has only to touch a knob on
her parasol-stick and a tiny strong pair
of scissors springs out of the top. With
these she can reach the desired treasure
without pricking her fingers or spelling
her gloves.-New York Post.

The Order of the Cincinnati is the only
organization which has celebrated indie
pendence Day regularly since it came
into life-that is to say, since May, 1888
before the disarmament of the Ameri-
can army. This order includes sew
eral state societies, and its membership
list includes many historic and patriotic
names. Among those who hold their
hereditary memberships as sons of orig
inal members is Hamilton Fish. There
are only a few of these. The next tri-
ennial meeting of the order will be held
in 1887. at Newport.

Early marriages is the rule among
French Canadians. Originating in the
early history of che country. when
women were few and the government

their teens to become wives, the practice
has become permanent, and for lads

The Redemption of Damaged Notes.

Can You show NE some curious specimens
Of notes which have been redeemed!7
Certainly. Here is an odd-looking affair
which is a 81 note \ man carelessly left it
IL the pocket Of whito vest, which garment
was shortly after both washed and ironed.

Here is 81 note pierced with four holes. 1t

times. one of the bullets tearing its way
through tho folded note, which was shortly
afterwards sent here for redemption by the
dead mans relatives. We did our best to
alleviate their grief with brand nc. bill.

4 great deal OF the timber used to be shipped
in square logs TO Europe, but there is not so
much OF that done now. The demand is too
great at home. The expense of getting it TO

over for ballast very cheap. Gnarled walnut
