VITALITY OF SEEDS.
Seeds From Five Hundred TO Two Thou-
Aarsd Years Old Have spronted.

How long viii seeds preserve their
vitality? So many fables have been
and are still being promulgated on this
subject that a few facts may not bc I'M
acceptable. The seeds of the willow
will not terminate after having been
once dry, and their terminating power
Is lost IN twelve weeks even II during
that interval they have been kept fresh
The seeds OF coffee and various other
plants do not terminate after having
been kept for any considerable length
Of time. The grains OF wheat usually
lose their power Of growth after a
lapse of seven years, though wheat
over two centuries old has been
found quite capable of being
used for food The stories OF
mummy wheat" sprouting after
having lain dormant in Egyptian
tombs for thousands of years are,
10 say the least Of them, very dubious.
No well authenticated instances OF
such finds are eXtant, while among
other articles sold by the Arabs to
credulous travellers, as coming out OF
the same tomb as the ancient wheat,
have been dahlia bulbs and maize, the
deposition OF which in the receptacle
from which they were said TO be ex-
tracted necessitates the belief that
three thousand years ago the subjects
/ of the pharaohs were engaged in com
merce in America. Rye and wheat
only one hundred and eighty-five years
old could not be inducedto terminate,
/ the place of the embryo being occupied
by a Shiny, putrefying fluid. If, how
ever, excluded from light and air, and
above all, from dramp, seeds have been
known 60 keep for heightened periods.
Seeds OF the bean and pea order have
sprouted after one hundred years
storage in an herbarium' and many
similar instances have been recorded.
Seeds disintcrrcd from the soil taken
from under very ancient buildings and
other situations have also sprouted,
though the estimates OF their age have
been all the way from five hundred "a
two thousand years. They can not,
however, be considered beyond the
range OF slepticism. Science for All

VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE.

Health.


Health.
Healthful animal or vegetable life
can not be sustained without fresh air
in plenty. Living in rooms that have
not proper supply of pure air lowers
the vitality and makes one feel the cold
much more. II is an error 10 think you
can keep house warmer without fresh
air than with it. thoroughly-aired
room heats more readily than does the
one where the air is vitiated
Air the sleeping rooms the first thing

the day. Have at least one window in

DOUBTS

Schools and Banks and Federal Offices
Will Remain Open-Courts
Will Close.

A difference OF opinion has been evolved
within the past twenty-four hours concerning
the status of Labor day-whether it is legal
holiday or not. An act Of Congress says IL is,
but whether an act OF Congress can declare
what is and is not legal holiday without the
consent of the States is undecided.
Therefore, the banks which had decided in
favor of closing and had put up notices took
them down as late as 2 80 yesterday afternoon
aud have decided TO keep open. Members of
the Clearinghouse Association bad felt all
along that there was some risk about 1t, and
their INQUIRY and discussion brought about a
change all along the line.
The schools which as late as o'clock yes
terdav Superintendent SWEET had determined
to close and had so notified the teachers will
remain open under the new ruling.
