A Peculiar Mountain Bird.

Away up on the mountain side is the
natural home of the water ousel, the
strangest of oil strange birds. You sell
dom see more than one of them at a
time. They are of dark blue color and
are easily recognized by q peculiar
quick, jerking motion which they never
seem to tire of. And as they fit from
rock to rock they ore continually bob1
bing up and down, performing such q
polite little courtesy as would make you
smile to see it.
Owing to their peculiar habits and the
Isolated spots they select to build their
nests no one but the most ardent sports
men and naturalists succeed in finding
them. Hence water ousel's nest with
two of their eggs in it has commercial
value among nest collectors Of S25. They
always build their nests just back OF
some waterfall or under some overhang-
ing bank, where they have to go through
OF under the water to get to it.
Another strange habit OF this bird is
the deliberate way in which they appear
to commit suicide. They will start
slowly, very slowly, to wade sight down
into the water until they disappear from
view; but if the water is clear, and you
have sharp eye, you can still see their
little dark forms clinging to the bottom
IN search of their morning repast, which
consists of periwinkles.-Chicago Herald.

THE DEMAND FOR TYPEwR1TERs.

The typewriters are becoming 80 ex-
pert that they can work the machine in
taking dictation almost as rapidly as the
stenographer. The graphophone Is also
coming into general use, and this Is an
other blow at the stenographer. In
year or two the countingroom steno-
grapher will be out of job. The army
of typewriters is getting larger and
larger every year, and no business house
can afford to be without one of these deft-
fingered workers. Ladies find type
writing a pleasant profession, and they
learn to use the machine more readily,
perhaps, than men. Many typewriters,
however, lack education. They are poor
spoilers and are ignorant of the meaning
of many words in every day use. There
is no excuse for this. Every typewriter
should learn to spell and punctuate and
learn the meaning Of words. An &C.
complished typewriter is great luxury.
An uneducated one is anything but a
luxury.--Peayune.

POOR CLAY LAND AND WHEAT.

Good wheat may be grown on poor
clay soil, provided it be got in proper
mechanical condition. 1t is not intre-
quently the case that clay soil is rated
poor, not because its fertility is exhausted,
but because it has become hardened by
loss of vegetable matter, and what fer
tility it contains is locked up in clods. If
the field has been in hoed crops and we'll
cultivated, we should not hesitate to sow
it with wheat by adding little phos-
phate to restore the available mineral
plant food that the crop grown this year
has exhausted. If phosphate were added,
and the corn or potato crops were got
off early enough, there is no reason why
as good wheat may not be grown after
one of these crops as after summer fall
low. The soil needs no blowing, is bet
ter without it. After the hoed crops
are removed cultivate two or three
inches deep and drill in the fertilizer with
the seed.-B9ston Culti5ator.

A Fortune in Frogs.

; "About twenty-five years." said IN
old attendant in the big Washington
Market, ''several men made fortunes at
catching frogs and sending them to
market. The hind legs were cut off,
skinned, washed, and, after being mildly
salted, were sent away in barrels. Prices
used to range from fifty cents to seventy,
five cents for dozen pairs of legs, and,
as sales wero quick, there was pile Of
money in the occupation.
"One old fellow, blacksmith, by the
name of Weld, down in Grecnbush, Me. !,
supplied all of New England for years.
He lived by the side Of very extensive
swamps that were filled with wigglers and
cattails. The former furnished food for
the frogs, while the latter gave them
shade. I have seen bullfrog legs that
were nearly as big as the legs of an or
dinary chicken.
sold man Weld used to hire boys toI
kill the frogs for him, giving them five
cents or six cents a dozen. The frogs
were so plenty that many Of the children
earned good wages, even at that small
price. Weld dressed the frogs, corned
them and shipped them to Boston in bar
rels, like herrings. He kept upthe bust
ness for years and, though he slew hun.
dreds of thousands every year, the sup
ply did not diminish at all.
"By and by the prices went away down,
and as the old man had cleared about
S1O0, 900 out of the scheme he retired !,
built himself fine mansion and lived at
his ease. He is the only man I know OF!
who got rich by catching frogs, but i
have heard of several others.
"Of late the frogs are shipped to the
market alive and kicking in cool, moist!
grass, and killed as they are wanted. This
involves more expense. They bring
higher prices than those that are shipped
ready dressed. But the demand is not
enough to make the business pay much.
I wish people would cat more frogs, forl
there are ten times as many frogs in the
United States to-day as there ore people,
and as fast as they die new pollywogsll
grow up to fill the vacancies. ."-Roston|

WAYS OF WEEDS.

There are three classes of weeds, as to
their duration, namely: Those that live
for one season only, those remaining for
two years, and third and very large
group, the members of which continue
their existence indefinitely and are known
as perennial plants. All these that belong
to the first group are ANNALS, and it Is
evident that if these plants are kept from
maturing their seeds there will be an end
to them unless-and. here is the impor-
tant point-seeds are not sown with the
crop, as is often the case, or they are
brought in by the winds or other agen-
cies for their transfer. Of course the
soil may already be stocked with the
seeds that remain dormant for many years
until favorable conditions for their ger
mination obtain. The biennials live for
two years and the same rule as to seed
ing, or preventing their seed formation
holds here as with tho ANNALS. Peren-
NAL weeds, other things being equal, are
the worst of all, for when they are once
in the land they hold their own and yearly
produce new crop of seeds if the chance
Is given them. They must be kept from
yielding seed, and then if the plant itself
is to be eradicated one of many methods
may be observed. If large they may be
pulled; if small the leaves cut off; but
the best of all is to practice repeated till
age. Grow hoed crop, and not fail to
hoe, hoe, hoe.-American Agriculturist.

STYLES IN FALL BoNNErs.

The straw bonnet will be worn late in
the season, it being no longer counted on
unusual sight to see fur coat with q
straw bonnet above it. Indeed, last
year very fashionable women wore dark
straw bonnets all the season. Of course
they were trimmed with velvet and had
what might be called winter decorations
upon them; but they were, after all,
veritable straw chapeaux.
The lady-like capote will undoubtedly
retain its popularity. The rather fiat
trimmings are still fancied and consists
of ribbon bows, flowers, grasses, small
fruits and berries, and, indeed, what
ever may be deemed becoming or adapted
to costume. A black laced straw has
o pulled brim of golden-brown velvet.
In front, mashed down almost to the
