National Flower.

No one can help being in some meas
ure a partisan. Our characters and daily
pursuits inevitably influence our deci
sions. A group of farmers were sitting
about in Capt. Morse's store. discussing
the events Of the day.
The mail had just come in, and. a:
Capt. Morse was postmaster as well a:
storekeeper, there was great unfurline
Of papers, and much comment on the
public situation"
"Well, Morse, what do you think Of al
this talk about national tiowerg, asked
one.
"Haint seen it," replied the captain
pricking up his ears.
"You don't say! Why, they want
everybody TO vote for national flower
and when they've sot on it, it's comm
into fashion and never goin' out"
"Sho" said Capt. Morse. well, il
they want to know which way to vote,
I'm the man to tell EN-. II do say it,
what | don't know on the subject aint

"You don't sayl'

added, will answer Tor Tor several bushels Of
wheat
We always seeded down the ground
with timothy and clover after the wheat
was sowed and never failed Of getting a
good stocking. or course the ground
was in good heart, being grown to corn
the year before and well MANFRED with
stable manure; potatoes and oats had
preceded the corn and each year the crop
was well MANFRED. After the grass seed
was sown the ground was rolled or
dragged TO be as level and smooth as the
kitchen floor. All the stones were picked
off. for eastern lands are fertile in stones
at least, as the miles Of stone walls on the
farms bear testimony. After a while it
was suggested that sowing salt on the
wheat ground would do the same amount
Of good as soaking the wheat in hot
brine. but it was not so well, as the yield
was not as large nor tho straw as strong,
and the rust and weevils both felt the
difference of treatment and put in their
appearance.
Another thing That the OLD Tune peo-
pie used to be very particular about, as
they considered that it had great bear
ing on the prosperity of the crop: They
never sowe6 their wheat when the wind
was in the south. have known farm
ers in Vermont to wait several days,
when the ground and seed were all
ready, to have the wind change into
another point Of the compass. They
said, if the grain was sowel when the
wind was in the south the wheat would
certainly rust and NUT; and as it did not
cost anything to be particular about it
always insisted that the rule should be
observed on my farm.

from the middle ofApril s. tie mi3Jle
OF July corresponds with what has been
observed by asylum physicians-that
there Is a tendency to an exacerbation OF
the mental disorder OF patients in asy-
lums during the early part OF summer;
and it is interesting to notice also that
the statistics of suicide in the general
population show that this occurs most
frequently during the same period
The greatest number ofrecoveries take
place during June, July and August, and
they are fewest during the months OF
November, January and February. The
regularity in the rise and fall OF the num-
beers Is twice interrupted. The rise is i'm
terrupted by a fall In April, and the fall
is interrupted by a rise in December. at
is considered probable that these inter-
ruptions are due to some causes which
recur regularly at these periods, because
they are we'll marked in character; and
il Is suggested that the December rise Is
occasioned, in part at least. by the an
nual statutory revision Of the condition
of patients in asylums during that month.
This revision is made by medical officers
of asylums with view to determine
whether they can properly give the GER
ti6cate of the necessity for further deten-
ton in the asylum which is annually re-
quired to legalze the continued residence
of all patients who have been three years
in an asylum. The occurrence OF the
large number of recoveries during the
months of June, July and August Is
probably due to the large number Of ad-
missions during May, juno and July. as
more than As per cent. of all the recover
les which take place during the first year
of residence occur within three months
Of the date Of admission. "-Pall Mall

4 Gentle Correction.

There is a general belief among Eng
lishmen in American illiteracy. An
American says he had this experience
some time ago in st. Johns college, Cam
bridge: I'VE were wandering about with
one of the fellows. who had been cordial
and kindly in his attention to us. As we
entered the beautiful dining hall, my eye
fell on a fine portrait of Wordsworth,
and said: so this is Wordsworth's col
legey 1t was; Wordsworth is dead,

ton. San Francisco Argonaut.

LUNA AND lUNACY.
The Influences Of the Various Seasons Oh
Minds Diseased.

rlluUb DlStastQ.
The old idea that Luna and lunacy have
an intimate relation appears to be not
wholly without foundation. This, at any
rate, is demonstrated by the commission
ers in lunacy for Scotland-that the sea-
sons have a distinct influence on asylum
statistics. The tables of admissions dur
ing the years 1907 show that there are
two well marked periods-one in which
the number rises considerably above the
average, and the other in which it falls
considerably below. The average monthly
number for the eight years was 1909
During the three months Of May, June
and July the number was 62S above what
it would have been if the average num-
Der only had been admitted. On the
other hand, during the months of Octo-
Der, November, December and January
the number was 482 below what it would
have been il the average number had
been admitted. The table shows further
that this rise and this fall are preceded
by q gradual rise and a gradual fall, the
rise taking place during February, March
and April, and the fall taking place dur
ing July, August and September.

Curious Hindo0 Notions.

A curious light Is thrown on the rural
life of Bengal by the contents of paper
reprinted lately in the annual report of
the Bombay Anthropolosical society,
saws The Calcutta Times. From this
paper we arc told the following, among
other things: Shouting the namc Of the
king of birds (garuda) drives away
snakes. Shouting ram, ram, drives away
ghosts. Cholera that attacks on Mon
day or Saturday ends fatally, but no
cholera that attacks on Thursday. The
