POSTING THE WEEDS.
Pestiferous Plants in German School
Rooms Thus Known aud Avoided.


PestiferOus Plants in German School
Rooms Thus known aud Avoided.
We might borrow some of Germany's
educational ideas with profit. Among
them are the wall maps of different species
of pestiferous weeds, which hang in the
class rooms where the children can see
them as long as they go TO school. A prae-
teal idea underlIes the displaying of these
maps. 1t is we'll known that farmers are
prone to treat all weeds alike, and hardly
to observe any difference between them;
whereas the nature of weeds differ as
much as the natures of any other plants
do, and the sort of treatment which will
exterminate one will sometimes increase
and multiply another.
1t is very important, therefore, that the
farmer and gardner should understand
the weeds which they are trying TO exter-
inmate. 1t Is here that these German wall
maps come in. They show colored pic
lures Of the most noxious weeds In all
stages of growth, and also the ways in
which they scatter their seeds and propa-
gate themselves. Through seeing them
day by day on the walls, the child learns
them thoroughly. and grows up with a
knowledge of the best way to exterminate
them.-IriSh Times.

seen before on the Heights. Every one
knew everybody else and no time was lost
in formality.

introduced, the same being an elaborate
boat in which was the salutiHg singer.
This was the signal for the grand march,
and Immediately the orchestra struck up
an inspiring march n 200 couples prom
anaded around the hall. The dancing
orders were the work of Keppler of Puck
feme, and were decidedly unique. When
the dancing was finished, a course dinner
was served aud toasts were responded to
till early morning.
Among those present were the follow
ing gentlemen with their wives: 4. Der
