month that nature Tin the temperate

and starts on his travels either fol

this month is known far and wide as
All FOOLS Day, but, generally as it is
thus known, the reason for the appel.
laJion is much in doubt. Some say
this was the day on which Noah sent
out the dove from the ark for the first
time, and she returned having found
no rest for her feet-"April fooled. -
Others say the name was given the day
in 1904, when the French calender
was changed so that New Years Day
came January lst instead of April lst,
thus leaving the opening day of April

The recent determination of Secre-
tary Morton to secure the services of
capable agrostologist, whose entire
time should be devoted to the subject
of grasses, has resulted in the selec-
ton of Prof. Frank Lamson- Scribner,
who has accepted the position offered
to him.
There are no means of estimating
with any degree of accuracy the total
value of the grass production of this
country, but the value OF the average
hay crop exceeds S400, 900, and
while no data are available to estimate
the annual value of the pasture lands,
it is clear that, added to the hay value,
a total grass product will result proba-
bly, more valuable than any other sim
gle crop in the country. The impor-
lance of collecting and imparting use
full information regarding grasses is
therefore evident. The duties of the
agrostologist are thus summarized in
letter in which the place was ten
dered to Prof. ScribneT:
1.-The identification of grasses and the
investigation of forage plants in this
department To prepare mono.
graphs on grasses; care for the grasses
of the herbarium; to identify such as
may be sent here for that purpose; to
conduct correspondence on this sub
ject, and to have charge of any special
investigation of grasses and forage
plants which may be undertaken by
this department.
Prof. Scribner, who is now director
of the Tennessee Agricultural expert
ment Station and botanist, was born
in Massachusetts, in 1851. His family
name was Lamson, but having early
lost his parents he was adopted into a
family of the name of Scribner, living
near Augusta, Maine, and there he
was brought up. From his youth Prof.
Seribner showed his natural bent for
botanical pursuits. AT the age of Is
while still on the farm he prepared a
treatise on the weeds of Name" an
illustrated pamphlet of 81 pages, pre-
pared for the State Board of Agricul-
ture. and his first botanical collections.

We see it announced that the Hon
Wilson S. Bissell, President Cleveland
Postmaster General, has issued ar
order that hereafter mail will not be
taken on the railroad mail car unless
it first passes through the postofiice.
This order was made necessary be-
cause so many business men in the
neighborhood of railway depots in all
localities mailed their letters on the
train to save them the trouble of going
Co the post office, and it made a large
amount of extra work for the railway
mail clerk that was measurably un
necessary.
In their legitimate work it was
found that they had all they could at
tend to. and that valuable time was
lost in stamping letters that ought tC
be stamped in the postoffice.
The railway mail clerks have al
they can do in sorting out mail be
tween stations, and nothing more
should be required of them.

Aluminium.


lFrom Chicago Inter Ocean, Feb. :, 1871
We are reminded of the various
uses to which Aluminium can be put
by the receipt of neat lead pencil
made OF that metal from the manu-
facturers Of Garland stoves and
ranges.
The souvenir is three cornered,
fitting the hand nicely, aud being as
light as hardwood and as strong as
steel is very acceptable article.
Aluminium was quite costly when first
discovered, but is gradually becoming
cheaper, and should it ever become
cheap enough there is no end of the
uses to which it could be- put to adj
vantage; for bridges, armor plate,
ships, ETC., no better metal has been
discovered, and while most clay con-
tains Aluminium, the principal cost is
in its extraction from the clay.
Experiment has proven that
aluminium mixed with iron makes the
latter metal pour smoothly, prevents
blow holes and liability of cracking,
and benefits the iron in every way. AS
Garland" stoves and ranges are made
of this mixture, and as more of them
are made and sold every year than any
other stoves, it proves that The Michi'
gan Stove Company'S methods are the
best

where the majority are attempting to
