A Remarkable Fig Tres.

AT the drug store Of Mr J. NJ. Sprague
in ST. Paul there is thrifty fix tree four
years old and perhaps five feet high, which
came up spontaneously in a tub which con.
tained an oleander. The only way in which
its voluntary appearance is accounted for
is that it grew from seeds of figs which
had been fed to canary whose cage hung
over the tub. But the most perplexng
part Of the problem rests on the fact that
the figs were preserved. Will seeds of pre-
served figs retain their terminating prop

A SNOW STORM.
ELIZABETH CHISHOLM.

Feather light and feather soft and feather
flying swift,
The snow came down the livelong night and
piled in heap and drift.
The barns were rooted with silver sheen, the
fences glimmered white,
For far and near the barefoot eleves had
Journeyed in the night. ,.
The baby at the window clapped dimpled
hands in glee;
This was indeed bonny world which he had
come to see.
The sturdy boys were loath to wait, their
eyes on fire to go
And fight and measure arms against the le-
gions of the snow.
And feather light and feather soft the flying
fieeces piled
Above the fields where food was sown for
many hungry child;
For while men sleep the Great God keeps a
watch for things to grow,
And His worlds bread is always safe beneath
His brooding snow.
The snow fell on the upland, ON the lonely
graveyard space.
And the snow fell on the lowland, near many
dwelling place,
And everywhere twas pure and fair, and
dropped its shining fleece
AS If the angel of the Lord had hushed its
heart to peace.

Smart Shepherd Dogs.

In South America, in the region of
the great pasture plains, dogs are
trained to be shepherds. do not mean
that dog goes out with the herdsmen
and helps watch the flock, | mean
that the dog goes out alone and that he
takes the entire care of the sheep with
out utanyone's direction. In South Ameri.
Ca there are vast plains where for miles
and miles there is little vegetation save
the short grain on which Sheep feed.
There are no habitations for men.
On these vast pastures there are i'm
mense fiocks which are often left for
several days at a time with only dog
to take care of them. But well he
knows how to do it, for he has been
trained for the business.
When "Colly" was only day old he
was taken away from his own mother
and given to big, motherly sheep. She
let the little blind puppy share the din
ner of her own baby lamb. His little
bed was in warm, soft nest made of
the sheared fleece of sheep.
He was never allowed to taste of
meat. He was not permitted to asso.
ciate with other dogs or with children.
His only associates were sheep. Con-
sequently all the strong friendship, all
the LOYALTY, all the protecting instinct
which belongs to good dogs nature
were turned towards sheep. The little
dog grew to love sheep, to play with
sheep, and above all, to watch over
sheep aud protect them.
No hungry stranger could approach
one of these big wandering tlocks in
the vast and lonely plain and help him
self to lamb without being noticed.
No, At the first sign of stranger the
dog barks.
Then a remarkable sight is to be seen.
The Oldest and strongest ram of the
flock advances to the dogs side. All
the other rams come forward and take
their places near by, facing tho foe.
The ewes and the lambs huddle closely
together behind their defenders.
The dog does the talking for the
whole party and gives all the orders,
acting the part of Commanding Gen
eral, but the rams, with their big, cruel
horns and strong heads, do the fight
ing.
Sometimes when the owners have
sheds near enough the dog drives the
flock out to pasture and brings them
back in the evening. No matter how
large the flock may be, he knows if
even one sheep is missing and he gets
out and hunts for it until ound.-Chi.

fourteen thousand to six cen thousand

of transmission increases with the dis.
tance between the wires and the earth,
or, in other words, with the height of

submarine cables, transmit slowly.
While wires suspended at feeble
height transmit signals at a velocity of
twelve thousand miles per second,
those that are suspended higher give a
velocity of from sixteen thousand to
twenty four thousand miles.
