THE USE OF BURRS.
They Garry the Seeds of Plants Away
from the Parent Stem.


After a stroll afield, in the fall, one
is apt to wonder, as he works away at
the burrs that cover HIS clothes, what
use they can possibly be. Burrs are a
great nuisance to men and animals;
but the plants they grow on find them
very seryiceable, for they are simply
fruits covered with spines or priekles;
and this is only another way plants
have to distribute their seeds. That
Ii is a scheme that works well anyone
can see who has a hunting-dog, and
keeps it in his yard. In the spring fine
crops of Spanish needles and clot-burrs
come up as if by magic, where there
were none before. They have grown
from the burrs the dog brought home
in his coat the autumn before. Around
wooden mills in New England plants
from the west spring up in mysterious
way and nearly always these have burr
fruits. They have grown from the
burrs taken from the fleece of sheep,
in cleaning, and thrown out as waste.
Some troublesome weeds have been in
troduced in this manner On the prai-
ries there are many plants with this
kind of fruit. In former days, when
great herds of buffaloes roamed the
plains, their hair caught up these burrs,
which thus stole long rides, like the
trumps they are. Even now, in old
1 buffalo-wallow plants are found that
do not grow elsewhere in the country
round.
Some burrs, like Spanish needles,
have only three or four slender spines,
or awns, as they are called, at the sum
nit of the fruit. If we look at them
through a magnifying-glass, we find
them bearing sharp, downward-point-
| ing barbs, like that of a fish-hook. The
sand-spur, an i'll weed that grows on
sea beaches and sandy river banks,
| mas burrs covered with such spines.
The boy who has stepped on sand-spurs
with his bare feet knows this TO his
sorrow. The tiny barbs go in easily,
but every attempt to draw them out
makes them tear into the flesh.
Often the spines or bristles are
hooked instead of being barbed. The
c!ot-burr, or cockle-burr, that grows
abundantly in waste ground, and the
agrimony of our woods, are examples.
Burdock has such hooked prickles on
| its fruits, and they stick so fast to-
gether, that children make of them
neat little baskets, handles and all. The
ticl<-trefoil has jointed pods, covered
thiclly with small hooked hairs that
can hardly be seen without a magnify
| ing glass. These arc the small, flat.
brown burrs that cover the clothing
after a walk through the woods in Sep
/ tcmber. They are most annoying
burrs. worse than clot-burrs, they are
/ SO small and stick so fast.-Thomas IL.

Tiger Teeth a Foot In Length.

One of the old time monsters TINT
roamed over this part of the North
American continent in the early ages
of geology. inhabiting all that vast
scope which lies between the Missis-
sippi and the Rocky mountains. was
the saber-toothed tiger. He was prob
ably twice tfe size of any member of
the eat tribe now existing, and had ca
nine teeth each a foot in length.
shaped like sabers or curved knives,
each tooth having a saw-like edge.
They lived at the same time the masto-
don, the gigantic sloth and the meg
atheria did. and are believed to have
been a great factor in the extermina-
ton of those gigantic vegetable beasts.
In some portions Of the region inhab-
tied by the saber-toothed tiger it was
much more abundant than in others.
Northern and eastern Texas appears to
have been one of it's favorite haunts.
IN the localities mentioned the teeth
the only portions Of its remains that
are now found, have been picked up by
the dozens. In one place in southern
Oklahoma two of the saber-like teeth
Ct one OF these monsters were found in
sinking a well. One was found 10 feet
under ground, and the other 215feet
deeper.-St Louis Republic.

NOT CAUSED BY AN OPAL.
a Story of Bad Luck, the Cause of Which
Is Still Matter OF Doubt.

Is ollil VI bouDl.
Here is a story showing how to ac-
count for bad luck:
A man was shaking dice in a store.
He lost.
"No WONDER said a bystander
you're wearing al opal. You never
will have luck"
This set the man to thinking. -Four
days later he slipped in getting off a
street car and sprained his ankle.
This decided him. He gave the pin
to a friend who was on the board of
trade, and who was too hard-heartcd to
entertain any fool notions about the
number 10, of black cats, or cross-eyed
girls with red hair.
Nevertheless, when this board of
trade man lost over $4,000 on wheat he
began to worry. He didn't care much
for the pin anyway, and so one day
when young man in his Office admired
the"are" in the stone, he said; fake
it along, if you like it,"
This young man overwhelmed him
with thanks. Then he waited, with
guilty knowledge, to see what would
happen to the young man. He did not
have to wait long. The very next week
the employee was taken i'll, and he
missed four days at the office.
The board of trade nan was troubled
in conscience, so he told his young
friend about the opal pin and the super
stition attached to it, and the employe,
~ 1aotla1 Lao
would give the pin to his girl.
The opal did very rapid and effective
work after it became the property of
the young woman. On the second day
after she began to wear ii she ignited a
curtain in attempting to light the gas.
The curtain was destroyed and the
young woman burned both her hands
in attempting to extinguish the blaze.
The young man who had given The
stone to her felt called upon to apollo
gize.
perhaps it was that opal l gave to
YOU" said he. Yea know, an opal is
supposed to carry bad luck with it.
didn't tell you, because I'm not super
stitious"
III not wear the dreadful thing a
day longer" she said.
So she didn't. She gave it to her
brother, who scoffed at the suggestion
that a little stone could WELD any in
fuencc, good or bad. Nevertheless
when he started for Cincinnati and the
train ran off the track and he was
tossed half the length of the car. he
became converted.
"Tll not give it to anybody else to be
| a Jonah" said he. "I'H sell it TO jew
| eler."
So he went to the jeweler and said:
'What1l you give me for this opal?'
The jeweler looked at il and said:
THAT isn't an opal; that's a cat's-eye."

The Marvellous New Electric Light Signal

1t throws out an electric light which
cannot be seen on the right or left OIL
the ship, and can only be discovered
dead ahead under certain conditions

The French navy alone possesses TINS

INSECT sTlNGs.
Home Remedies for the Bites of Depre-
datory Pests.

datory Pests.
The sting of most small lnsects anu
animals is dependent for its poisonous
properties upon what is known as for
mic acid.
This acid derives its name from hay-
ing been obtained first from the anu
and is remarkable for the frequency
with which it occurs in nature. 1t can
be produced from nearly every species
of small insect, from the decomposition
of some vegetable substances, and Is
present in the perspiration OF human
beings.
Formic acid is never used in medicine
| internally. although, when diluted Win
an equal measure of water. 1t is some
times used as an external application
| to paralvzed limbs to excite the cireula-
ton When applied to the soft skin it
produces redness and pricking SEN
sation, followed by violent pain and
often by liberation.
The irritation caused by the formic
acid in stings and bites of various kinds
may be neutralized and the attending
pain relieved by the use of any alkaline
substance. like ammonia or baking
soda An Immediate application of
strong ammonia will often eradicate
the poison.
Antisepties of various kinds, such as
earbolie acid, will allay the ensuing in
fammation, and so prevent a spread of
| the trouble. Great care should be used,
however, not to have the antiseptie too
concentrated, as the skin and flesh are
very irritable under these circum-
stances.
A good way is TO dissolve very small
amount of the antiseptie ingredient in
eollodion and paint it over the affected
part. This forms a sort of medieated
eourt-plaster, protecting the wound
from external Infection. When the col
| lodion dries it leaves a thin, flexible
coating
Sometimes a rather strong solution
of carbolie acid sponged over the place
exposed to mosquito bites will not only
relieve the itching of bites which have
been already received, but will ward of
further attacks of the insects.
In some eases stings ate relieved and
cooled by the use Of diluted or pure
vinegar. The sting itself should always
be removed, if it can be discovered re-
manning in the wound. This can be
done very nicely by pressing on tht
| skin with the hollow end of a watch
key.
In case of snake-bites. which are at
tended often by severe shock. it /:
necessary to sustain the vitality at any
cost. Internal administration of am
monia and other stimulants IS to hs
relied on. Externally the wound ma.
be burned with some caustie-alway:
by a doctor.
The secret of success in the treat
ment of severe stihcs and bites consist:
in applying a ligature just above the
wound and in cleaning the wound
itself as quickly as possible.-Youth'i
