Imported versus American Grown seeds.
For several year, according 20 bul.
letin from the New York agricultural
station, the market gardeners through
the eastern states have found that seed
grown from carefully selected strain
Of several Of the leading varieties Of
cabbage grown In this country gave bot
ter results than imported seed OF tho
same varieties. Only recently, however.
has It been claimed that caulilower seed
could be grown here that would approx.
mate in yaluc seed grown In Germany
or France. Especially has II been claimed
that cauliiowtr aud cabbage seed grown
ON Puget sound, Wash, e1cglled all
others Ia vigor OF product.
In order TO investigate this matter, n
trial was made at the station IN 1889 be-.
tween two varieties OF eastern grown
seed aud two varieties from scod grown
In Washington, with the results Ia favor
OF the Washington grown seed. 10 fur.

grown and Washington grown. The 70,
suits were carefully noted, aud, as cx-
hibitcd Ia the tables published, show
that neither the Long Island nor tho
Puget sound grnwl seed are In pny way
inferior 10 those imported, a fact that
should cause the growing OF these seeds
here TO be further developed.

UNKNOWN ISLANDS.
Why Pacific Ocean Traders Conceal the
Discovery of Many Isles.

why TdCAHC octah SOHcedk the
Discovery of Many Isles.
The fact that two islands of consider
able size have recently been discovered
in the Pacific Ocean shows that We
have yet much to learn of this great
watery expanse. The latest discovery
is an islazd lying less than one hum
dred miles from the northern coast OF
New Guinea. 1t has been named Alli-
son island, is nearly three miles long,
rises from one hundred to one hundred
and fifty feet above the sea, and has
abundant timber. Several specks of
fertile and inhabited land, some of them
much larger than Allison island, have
been found within a few years at a dis
lance of one hundred to two or three
hundred miles from the New Guinea
coast, and similar discoveries are made
once in awhile in various parts of the
Pacific.
Oceanica is so large that no map of II
can be given in an atlas except on a
minute scale. We see hundreds of
groups and solitary islands huddled to-
gether on the maps, and get the idea
that the Pacific is thickly studded with
verdant bits of land The fact is, how
ever, that vessels may sail among these
islands for many weeks without once
coming in sight of land. Only few
months ago crew that had been ship
wrecked in the great island region of
the Pacific rowed north for forty days
before they reached Hawaii, the near
est land. Mr.. \. r. Wallace, who has
travelled widely in the Pacific, expressed
the opinion some time ago that there
are still good many islands there that
have never yet been seen by white
men.
Once in awhile Pacific trader finds
some new or little known island. and
opens trade with its inhabitants. If bust
ness thrives he keeps his secret as long
as he can. so as to enjoy monopoly.
1t was found awhile ago, when the
Woodlark islands were explored, that
an Australian firm had carefully charted
the islands several years before, and
had been quietly trading there, all I'M
known to the other Pacific merchants.

The Three First Men.

There are few stories of a legendary
nature that are not related in several diff
ferent forms. A correspondent, who has
read the Indian legend of the creation,
sends this excellent version of the same
story:
When the Great Spirit created the world,
he made first three men, all of the same
color Then he led them to a pool of
water and bade them jump in and battle.
One of them obeyng at once, leaped in
advance of his fellows, and came out clean
and white.
The others hesitated, but one soon fol
lowed the first. When be went in, the
water had become somewhat stained, and
he came out copper-colored.
Then the third man went in By that
time the water of the pool had become
black, and he was consequently black when
he had bathed.
Thus it happens that there are white
men, red men and black men in the world.
Then the Great Spirit laid down three
packages before the three men, which con.
tanned their future fate. Ont of pity for the
black man, he permitted him to have his
first choice of the parcels.
The black man, without hesitation, took
the largest of the parcels; the red man,
parcel, and the white man got the remain
ing one, which was very small.
Then the men opened their packages.
That of the black man was found to contain
shovels and other implements of labor;
the red mans contained bows and arrows,
and the white mans small parcel consisted
of pens, ink and tools for fine, light work.
From that time on, each man made use
of the tools he had chosen.
He Arnold of Rugby certainly did teach
us-thank God for it-that We could not
cut our life into slices. and say, "In this
slice your actions are Indifferent, and you
needn't trouble your head about them one
way or another; but in this slice, mind
what you are about, for they are import
ant"-a pretty muddle we should have
been IN had he done so. He taught us that
in this wonderful world no boy or man can
tell which of his actions is Indifferent and
which Is not; that life is whole, made up
of actions and thoughts and ndlongings, great
and small, noble and ignoble; therefore
the only true wisdom for boy or man is to
bring the whole life into existence to Him
whose world we live in; and that whether
we eat or drink, or whatever we do, we
are to do all in His name and to His

such as we have been favored with in this

been exceptionally mild, the mercury not
