The Use of Weeds.

lit is a very common thing said an
old farmer, "for people to grumble about
weeds and wonder Of what use they are in
the economy of nature. Indeed a great
many persons appear to think that they
are of no value whatever except as a means
of discipline to tillers of the soil. 1 admit
that they have their Inconvenience, but
SO have most of the things we have to en-
counter during our lifetime. If farmers
and gardeners only realized it, weeds are
among their best friends. There is moth.
ing more valuable us a fertilizer than a big
pile of weeds and sod and the roots that
are dug up out of the garden. Properly
cared for and allowed to decay, then mixed
with some good land dressing and put
back into the earth, they furnish precisely
the nutriment that the growing plants re-
quire.
"For some reason weeds do not seem to
rob the soil as most ordinary garden and
field products do, and it is not anything
uncommon for farmers to allow some
wornout field to lie fallow for a few sea-
sons n recuperate. An enormous guam
tity of weeds will spring up, which will,
after scattering seeds galore, wither down
and die and return to the soil whence thew
sprang. A few seasons of this kind of
treatment furnishes the earth with a sufi-
cient supply of nutriment to make it again
valuable for crops."-New York Ledger.

How Lightning Kills.

A new theory as to how lightning kills,
but one which may we'll be held in abey-
ance until "a clearer solution of it can be
presented, is just now being urged by tho
scientists. According to this new tangled
idea, a person is never Struck by light.
ming at all, that is, in the general sense of
the word quoted. The new theory is the
result Of deductions that have been made
along the following lines: All life is cleo
trio. In the human body the stomach is
the generator and the brain the battery.
When a person is killed by lightning, he
is not "struck' at all, but dies because of
a sudden loss of tho electric power which
had been inipelling his physical engine.
The loss Of this vital fluid, if such it may
be called, is brought about in this man
ner: A thundercloud is passing over. 1t
is charged with positive electricity and the
Garth beneath is charged negatively. The
human electric battery is between. If the
cloud is charged heavily enough, it sips
the negative electricity from the earth,
using the human being as a conductor,
and finally leaves him ~lifeless by taking
his electricity with that from the earth.
This theory is Milne with that which orig
mated a few years ago, and which was
to the effect that it was the sup stroke
that kills.-St. Louis Republic.

viotoria,s Coronation ordeal.

Victoria's coronation ceremonies, &C.
cording to The Woman at Home, lasted
more than four hours, and throughout the
queen played her part with wonderful
composure. Care, says the same writer,
had been taken to provide a crown suit
able for her small head, but no one had
thought about reducing the size of the
orb which she was required to carry in her
tiny hand. what am I to do with it?''
she asked in concern. Garry it, your
majesty" replied Lord John Thyme.
"Must II It is very heavy" the queen an
swered in a tone Of amazement. However,
it was too late to protest, and she obeycd
the e%xigencies of the situation. A worse
mistake had been made with regard to the
ruby coronation ring. The jeweler had
made it to fit her majesty's little finger,
whereas the archbishop declared that ac-
cording to the rubric it must be put upon
the larger finger, and accordingly forced
it into that position. The queen bore her
painfully swelling finger with the same
heroism that she carried the weighty orb.
iAfterward the finger was SO much swollen
that it had to be bathed in ice water be-
fore the ring could be drawn off.
