A New Fodder Plant.

If the latest agricultural reports from Europe are to be believed, the shipments of hay from this country thither will not increase to an overwhelming amount from year to year. The story is that new fodder plant has been developed in Europe which will more than take the place of the lacking hay, and which can be grown in any quantity besides.
 A variety of wild pea flourishes all over Europe which has hitherto been re garded as nothing but a noxious weed. It has roots that grow sometimes 50 feet long. It is impossible to kill the thing, and it thrives on soil that would starve a goat. Its long, matted roots prevent its being affected by drought or any thing else. Like most weeds, it pro duces an immense crop and propagates itself like burdock on q hillside pasture. Whether on stony, sandy or swampy ground the plant will grow luxuriantly. Its botanical name is ''lathyrrs sylves- tris."
 In its native state the lathyrus. while nutritious to animals, contained certain alkaloids that injured cattle. Some years ago the experiment was begun of educat- ing these alkaloids out of the plant and civihzing it down to the use of live stock. It is now announced that the ex- pertinent has been entirely successful, and that the scientific agriculturists of Germany offer to mankind fodder plant that promises to mark for domes- tic animals an era as distinct as that following the introduction of the potato as food for man. The lathyrus is claimed to contain twice as much nutriment as either the alfalfa or red clover. The man who tanned it down to civilized uses received the grand gold medal at the Munich agricultural exposition in June.

The Latest Decree of Fashion In Dressing
 the Bed-Pinows With Their FrilIed and
 Embroidered slips Promise to Become
 an Important Feature Again.
 The day of the pillow sham and of the round bolster is past. The very latest decree of fashion calls for frilled and embroidered slips of linen lawn, and or dains that in them and their lining all the color of the bed drapery shall con centrate. White spreads are promised for the near future. and the pillows are to become the important features of the bed.
 The eliict has come suddenly, and. as such things are apt to do, without any reputed source; but it is an edict never theless and already has had its effect. The pillow slips that are the correct thing for winter use are very dainty things. The New York Times tells that these are made of fine linen lawn. of sheer white batiste or of Japanese linen They are embroidered and they are frilled. They are used over covers of colored silk or fine silesia, and they are made to match the general scheme of decoration in the room.

 Lucien Rodd of Whitehall N.

That his head was so covered with sores that he was hardly able to comb or even brush his hair, so great was the pain it occasioned. That he consulted the local physicians without sue cessful result; that he took quantities of medicine with no benefit whatever; that physicians told him his disease was incur able and he had came to the same conclu- sion himself and had made up'his mind 10 go to hospital and await death.
 That just about this time he learned about Dr Greenc's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. which he began to use.

Too Much Hard Work.

The effect of too much hard work is the same as that of too little-itis brutal izing and demoralizing. It is perhaps shocking thing 70 say, but the morality of many of the sons of the nobility of Europe is fairly on par with that of the sons of the slum population of the large cities.
 Balzac wrote long ago, When toll exhausts the body, it takes from the mind its purifying action. especially among the ignorant" Accordingly, among that part of the population of country which lives in poverty and sustains its poor life by unremitting toll, brutality. uncleanlineSs and dishonesty are almost the rule. It is the hod car rier or the street laborer who goes on prolonged sprees and kicks his wife to death
 Grinding toll and squalid poverty bring man to the level of the brute. It is not from the ranks of those who spend their lives at hard physical labor that the inventors. the poets, the great preach CTS. usually come It is from that happy middle rank where therr is neither too much money flor too much hard work. As the race evolves higher civilization it will develop out of the condition of slavery To mere physical tasks. The farmer especially should realize that the more back breaking toil he can save him self through the intelligent use of ma chiuery and through other means the h,a will haN-.a left to use in thinking out ways to better himself pecuniarily and socially,
 The Dutchmen in Holland have a way of teaching languages in school which makes liuSuists of the pupils in short time. At the beginning of q given week the pupils are informed that during the next seven days only one particular language will be spoken. It may be English. French or German. Every pupil who makes break in the specified time and lapses into Hollandese is fined so many cents each time. At the end of the week considerable sum Is realized, which goes into the school Ii brary fund. But it does not go there di- reCtly. It is auctioned off to the highest bidder, with the intention that he shall get back sum in fines during the next week equal to it or even greater. Mean time for the coming week he is appoint cd superintendent and critic of his school fellows. He watches their every slip carefully and collects tho fine with out mercy. -At the end of that week ht turns i'll the sum he has won, minus his own gains. \ different language iS chosen each week ill rotation, so that many times during the year the pupils leave one for time and return to it in q few weeks. By the end of d year they have n fair working knowledge of all the languages. The following year they take up the study of the grammar and con struction of each tongue. By the time they are ready to leave school they have good knowledge of several foreign Ian guages.
