Useful Plants.

Though Emerson suggested that
every weed is a plant whose Use is not
yet understood, the number of plants
that have been brought into service by
man is very small. Edison :. Bastin
finds authority for the statement that
1892 species of plants have been at some
time cultivated for food, and that the
whole number of species known 10 have
been used a food, including those re-
sorted to in famine, is 1890. But many
of these are of little value, and Smiths
Dictionary of Economic Plants" gives
only 5l5 species a. those important for
any purposes. For medicine some
1900 plants have been employed, of
which the Unites States Dispensatory
enumerates 1900 while only 24 are re-
garded as of sufficient value to be given
in the Pharmacopeia. The plants not
Yet investigated offer great possibilities
of usefulness, which, however, can be
developed only by long and extensive
Government experimenting. The
number of named species of plants may
be taken as about l75, 900, ana possibly
as many more are yet to be discovered,
while many species are capable of great
variation through cultivation. The
different varieties of wheat are believed
by some 10 have had their origin in a
forage grass of little consequence. On
the coast of England and France is to
be seen the wild plant from which have
been developed the white and red cab
bages, cauliflOwer and other varieties,
and perhaps even the common turnip.
\ few years ago, 1900 different varieties
of the apple were enumerated, and il is
very possible that some other species of
the genus is Is capable of useful develop
ment as the one that has become so im-
portant To Us. From the little explored
fields of bacteria and fungi may be ex-
pected many products ofvalue as RENE

Shoe Peg Manufacture.


The little town of Sheiburne Falls, in
Western Massachusetts, enjoys the pc
culiar distinction of having the pro-
ducts of its peg factory taken exclusive
ly by parties in Germany rs supplying
a need which that country, for natural
reasons, cannot furnish, there being no
timber in Germany that equals the

facture of pegs. The process of man

than they Were in deciding upon a
powder. Tungsten has been fixed upon
~ better metal than lead for bullets,
but unfortunately there is one fatal
objection To its ever being used for this

Truly a Serious Case.

Once / was assistant 10 an elderly
doctor in Ontario, who also ran a drug
store.
He was as peppery as cayenne pod,

patients had sprang jokes on him, just
for the sake of hearing him blow OF.
Or one occasion well dressed fellow
called at the store and asked the doctor
to prescribe for breaking out and Il
rash on his left arm.
The doctor examined the limb and
pronounced it TO be very bad case OF
psoriasis and eczema.
II suppose, doctor, you can cure it?'
said the patient.
"Why, certainly" replied the doctor.
"How long will it take TO get well ?'
''Oh, | guess about two months" " said
the doctor.
''Quite sure, sir-is il a bad case
positively the worst I've seem"
"Then / will leave it with you and
call again when cured" solemnly said
the patient. slowly unfastcning his

Should Enjoy Life.

Every farmer should first arrange for
the comfort and happiness ofhis family
before he makes any efforts toward
getting rich. He should make il pos
sible TO have finer table than any
hotel in the city even if it has French
cooks. Some say they have not time
to bother with a garden, but what are
they living for? Why put off the en-
joyments Of life to some future time
that we are not certain will ever come?
Now every farmer, however humble,
can get every real enjoyment that a
millionaire can get. He can raise just
as fine food as the millionairs can eat,
and he can enjoy il just as well. lie
can sleep just as soundly, and books
and papers. are so cheap that he can
get all the mental food he can digest,
and there is no classic work of litera-
ture within the reach ofthe millionaire
that the farmer cannot also get. Isn't
il very foolish to drudge and stint ones
self to get rich for the sake of getting
enjoyment in the future that we can
have right now =? To get all the luxuries
that the millionaire enjoys you need:
|. \ good garden, well stocked with
substantials, relishes and dainties.
=. A good orchard, with fruits for all
seasons.
8. One or two jersey cows, strictly
for home use.
4. Points for the boys and girls.
5. Plenty of good books and papers.
6. Musical instruments.
:. Good educational facilities.
The farmer who has farm paid for
and the seven conditions have named,
is a millionaire, for he has all the mil
lionaire can get that makes life enjoya-

Queer Marriage Ceremony.

pie are said To he the remnants of Il
race of ancient pygInies, and still exist
in the interior ofthe Philippine Islands,
where they live after their primitive
ashton, and preserve their ancient
customs and traditions unmolested and
uEnoticed. When two Negritors are
united, the whole tribe Is assembled,
and the aifianced pair climb two trees
growing near TO each other; the elders
then bend the branches until the heads
of the couple meet. When the heads
have thus come into contact, the mar
riage is legally accomplished, and great
rejoicings take place, a fantastic dance
completing the ceremony.
