His prize of 49, 900 was collected for him
by the National Bank of Houshton IA
soon after the drawing as the necessary
correspondence could be completed. Tho
money was promptly invested by him in

Queer Afghan Hospitality.

If an Afghan wishes ia show particu-
lar honor to his guest a portion of the
display is very likely to he made
through the medium of the carcass
of some %scrvitor who is detailed for
mental service. The head farrash is
expected to honor his masters guest
by ostcntatiously hogging his unfortu-
nate undcriing around with Il stick to
hurry him up. by making him hop
around and perform his services in Il
lively IL the hospitahlc intention
is supposed To he mnasurably empha-
sized.
An amusing exhibition of this pccu-
liar phase of Afghan life was on
ncctcd with my own arrest ut Furrah.
Mahmoud Yusuph Khan, by way of
a%pologizing for the unpleasant. neccs-
sity of having to send me back to
Hcrat, was anxious to impress upon
me, in other directions, his good will
toward me as an Individual. In this
laudablc ambition there figured prom
incntly his chief farrash, Il smart fell
low in cloud of snowy raimcmt, and
IL wild negro, who was to accompany
our party to llerat in charge of the
nummud horse. The farrash's role in
the programme was to chase the negro
around and rain blows ON him with u
long iron kabob skcver. used in the
Afghan army for roasting Eabob OH,
and the negroes duty WAS to receive
the castigation with us good grace as
possible. The negro was as wild and
almost as ugly as IL gorilla, and his
ideaof good grace waste scu,ry around
ahead of the farrnsh. make frantic
PUSHES at the work of preparation, and
howlloudly whenever The kabob skewcr
fell across his sl,oulders.-NcW York

Rising, now, from thy watery grave.
Bird, hast thou followed from afar

Bore It's crew mid dangerous gales
To waiting loved ones on the shorel
What dOst thou hear in the oceans roarl

Mothers watch for their SOILS on shore,
Wives for husbands that ON no more.
Never was echoed q sadler strain
To their ears than this Wild refrain.

Meath Its wings thou hast safely dwclt.
Gifts 1t hrir gs thee from east and west:
On Its bosom thy ncstlings rest.

Singeth songs of the summer sea;
Or that Its never changing tune
Falls as softly as rain III June.
Plume thy wings, o, bird of the sea.
Thou hast ever a charm for me;
Joyfully on the wild waves aieast
Let thy gl;stening pinions rest.
Would that thou could'st tighten the pain
Some hearts feel when that Wild refrain
Brings to mind the ships that are lost,
And the mariners tempest tossed!

Much has been written during the
past few years in advocacy of planting
trees designed to furnish timber, posts,
and fuel ON land SD po0rtliat IL is of nd
value for producing crops. Farmers
have been reminded that the piue,
latrh, and hcmlock are often found od
land where nothing else will grow.
Their attention is also called to the
fact that rocky hills are generally COW
cred with maple, beech, birch, and
hickory trees. They, too, are informs
ed that the swamp nk, American larch,
willow, and poplar do best on land
that is too wet to pillow or even to pro-
ducc good grass. The impression is
! given in various ways that timber trees
do not do we'll on land that is rich

Most of the first settlers on the prairies

They found them treelcss, but they saw
trees of various kinds on the elevations
II the vicinity and along the water
curses. They came to the conclusion
;llat prairie soil was too rich for forest
trees.
1t is true that the sand plains and
ridges of Michigan were covered with
pines and other kinds of evergreen
trees. So was the almost barren soil
III many parts of New England and the
southern states. Almost all the noun

with trees of some sort. Much of the
low land in the south is occupied by
cypress trees, while cedar and tama-
rack trees grow in swamps in many
parts of the north. 1t is not true. how
v e that these locations and these
sorts of soil are the best for them.
They flourish not because their condi-
ions arc the most favorable to them,
but for the reasons that they cam adapt

bors a few days ago Mr.. Geo. w. Fisher
of Indcpcndcndcnce, Kas., heard u racket

rattle snake had crawlcd into the kitchen
and was fastened into the handle of a Jug
in the following manner: There were
some eggs and a jug on the floor when the
snake crawled into the house. aud it swal-
lowed one of the eggs and as the jug
was lying on its side had ciawl,d through

African Lions.

The lions of South Africa are not
noted for their %fierceness, nor. if a
Hottentot's story is true. are they re-
markable for courage. says the Youths
Companion. The Hottcntot came upon
a sleeping lion, and, creeping noise
lcssly, put his elephant gun to the
beasts ear. just as he was about to
fire he heard the bullet, which had been
secured by a loose paper wad, roll down
the barrel. 1t dropped into the lion'sea r
andhe jumped up and bolted. But, if not
plucky. the South American lion is
venturesomc when tempted by the
prospect of q good dinner. A window
Of the diningg-room Of the Royal hotel
at Durham was open II day, and on
the table the servant had just placed u
hot sirloin of beef. A lion, coming in
to the yard and seeming the appetite

walked off with it. But bad as is his
reputation for courage. the South

wagon. The lad, who was on the
front seat driving, eXclaimed:. "sThe
donkey bites the horse!" The cart
stopped and a lion was seen clasping
the ~forcquarters of of the horses.
Down went the horse and up went the
Doors gun. The cap missed fire.
Another was found; it was too small.
The lion, lying Mt his ease alongside

Here in North Warwichshirc we should
like 10 know if the pest of catcrpillars
which is stripping IL noble oaks in the
midland counties has been experienced
elsewhere. Thousands of trees in our
fields, hcdgcrows and woods have been
reduced TO IL condition which is heart
breaking TO those who delight i'm the
leafy month of June, and especially in
oaks, which are the pride of War
wickshire. II is no uncommon thing for
a splendid tree 10 be attacked by this
pest and entirely stripped of every green
leaf within three days. May l ask if this
blasting pest has extended to other IL
ties? Strange to say. not another tree is
touched. but we dread and fearthat when
all the oak foliage is consumed the cater
pillars will begin 10 dcvastatc other trees.
