genius for organizing and disciplining his
followers. He has held two or three i'm

An unweIoome Immigrant.

L. H Dewey, assistant botanist of
the agricultural department, acting
under orders from Secretary Morton,
left Sunday night for the northwest
to make an investigation into the ex-
tent of the damage done to the crops
|of the northwest during the present
year by the Russian thistle. This,
though one of the least known gen
orally is one of the most dreaded of
all weeds, and it is said this year has
inflicted a loss of over 100000 on the
farmers of the United States. Unless
speedily checked it promises to spread
all over the country.
In the fall of 1891 the department
received reports from two or three
towns in the Dokatas that a new weed
was causing much trouble in the wheat
fields. Last year the complaints came
from a wider range, and during the
present year the area infested by the
weed has more than doubled.
The botan.sts of the department up
on examining the plant found that it
was a saltwort and not a true thistle
or cactus, but a near relative to the
common tumble weed. 1t is a native
of southern Russia, where it has long
been troublesome Notwithstanding

parliament with disloyalty on his first ap-
pearance there since public utterances in
the United States, has boldly avered him
self in favor of Canadian independence,
which. he claimed, would make Canada
what it has made the United States. Rid
iculing the charges of disloyalty. he said
that loyalty of Canadians was not due in
the first instance to Great Britain, but to
Canada. Sir A. T. Gait Sir John Rose
and other Canadians, he said, who were
subsequently loaded with imperial honors,
had early in his life declared, like him,
for Canadian independence. In the United

a million of his fellow countrymen, pros

Precious stones and American Buyers.

The color and splendor of the prin-
cipal precious stones, depend, in large
measure, upon causes which have
hitherto escaped scientific analysis.
The radiance of the diamond is COM
monty supposed to depend upon it's
freedom from color, its great power
of refraction and the skill of its cut
ting; but of two diamonds exactly SINH
lar in all these respects, the splendor
may be much greater in one than in
the other No one as yet knows why
the Kohi-noor is instantly recogniza-
bic as wholly inferior to the Pitt dia-
m0nd, or why the removal of a small
layer OF the substance of a ruby, in
cutting out a flaw may reduce it-as
in the recent case of q ruby worth
$50, O00-to one-tenth of its first value,
by reason Of the consequent, develop
ment in it of the sapphire tint, which is
the ruby's most fatal fault. Experts
hold that flaws, without which really
fine rubies, sapphires and emeralds are
scarcely ever found, are. in some I'M
known way, productive of the finest
color. Certain it is that stones of per-
feet construction are almost inyaria-
bly, of inferior color. An yet, now and
then. a gem of the very finest hue is
found without any visible interior de-
feet.
For a good many years past there
has been going on a. steady drain
of this most concentrated form of prom
erty to the United States. AS the do
main of an American millionaire is
usually bounded by a street frontage
of twenty-seven feet, with depth of
fifty feet or so behind it, he cannot
spend his money upon objects which
take up much room Pictures, books,

The Question of Chaperons.

In this work-a-day world, if women
must be wage earners and bread win
ners. SO far as they are concerned
chaperons are impossible alike in Eng
land and America. In most factories,
workshops and salesrooms in America
at least, the women are as carefully
guarded against insulting approaches
or regarding entanglements as they
would be in their own homes. So.
therefore, there is no reason in the
world why in America we should, so
far as these girls are concerned, bother
ourselves as to whether they have
chaperons or not. If there is danger
to this class of girls in England be-
cause they cannot have chaperons, it
might be well for those having the
social condition of the mother country
at heart to study the methods almost
universally in use in the United States,
and to the extent of adopting these
methods Americanize the working
girls of England. But so far as the
wealthy classes are concerned, either
in Great Britain or the United States,
there is no essential difference, nor
likely soon to be any. The presence
of older women in every company adds
to the dignity and variety quite as
much as to the decorum and propriety.

be at a glance. The chicken chorister-

they were on their way to St Pauls.

all talked willingly, except one little fell
