Two YOUNG tramps at Glenn's Ferry,
Idaho, attracted attention, both being
very young, and one looked like girl.
Being questioned, they said they were
from Sioux City, Iowa, and owned that

The Car is said to wear always ring

of the Gar by a Pope long ago. The
Gar is said to be superst1tious about
this ring, and once, when he had started
upon long journey and had forgotten
it, he had his train held while mes

MAIL carriers in Morocco are said to
avoid risk of losing their places by
oversleeping by tying a string to one
foot and setting the end of it on fire
before going to sleep. The string, they

foot it is time for them to get up.
THE demand for lizard skins for

Honey-Producing Trees.

Every farmer should plant trees, some
for fruit, some for shelter, shade and or
nament, and while you are planting,
plant some for the bees; and for this
purpose, all things considered, there is
nothing perhaps, better than the linden
OF Eastwood. Growing to u large size,
OF stately habit, with handsome foliage,
it is an ornamental tree i'll any grounds,
while in many seasons it Yields honey
of the finest quality in great abundance,
and its timber is i'll good demand for the
manufacture of honey ctions, berry
boxes, and many other uses. The
whitewood, poplar or tulip tree bears
tulip-shnped flowers, which expand in
success sion, yielding dark honey of the
finest quality. This stately tree, some
times over 100 feet Ill height is found in
many parts of Southern Illinois, and
succeeds generally throughout the
North. Its timber is very valuable in
cabinet-making and for the manufacture
of wagon-b boxes The black locust tree
grows to O medium size, yields a fine
honey, and, rs durable timber for
fence-post, is hardly surpassed by red
maple, is hardy, Iapid growing tree of
good habit, aud makes excellcnt fuel,
While, in most seasons, the bees fairly
revel among its fragrant blossoms.

Revolutionizing Wool Spinning.

A crudcly constructed wool spinning
machine was exhibited in model

considerable attention from persons in

THE Pail Mall Gazette says: with
in the past few weeks a large number
of Irish emigrants have sailed for the
Argentine Republic. From the Linn
erick district alone there have left
nearly five hundred, and so serious is
this movement regarded that the Arch
bishop of Cashel has issued letter in
which he solemnly conjures his coun-
trymen, as they value their health here
and their happiness hereafter, never to
set foot in the Argentine Republic,
however tempted they may be by offers
of free passage or an assurance of
comfortable homes. He says that the
language, being Spanish, is unknown
to them, and surely, on that ground
alone, if the people must leave the
land they love best in quest of fortune
elsewhere, they should direct their
steps either to the great Republic of
the West, where so many of their kith
md kin live and thrive and are happy,
or to one of the free and fourishing
Englishspeaking colonies that own the
sway Of Great Britain at the antipodes. "

Hereditary Influence of Ago.

The influence of the ages of parents
upon the vitality Of children has Ecen
investigated by NJ. Joseph Korosi, Of
the Buda-Pesth Statistical Bureau.
From about 80, 900 data he draws these
conclusions: Mothers less than twenty
years old and fathers less than twenty
four years old have children more weak
ly and more liable to pulmonary disease
than parents of ripper age. The
healthiest children are those whose
fathers are from twenty-fi five to forty, and
whose mothers are from twenty to thirty.
In the best marriages the husband is
older than the wife, but a woman OF
thirty to thirty-five will have stronger
children if her husband be IL httle-not
as much as five years-thc younger.
