THE NElGHBoRHoOD BOY.

The neishborhood boy is neighborhood
Joy,
With heart that is earnest and true:
And whene'er he's away, to be absent q
day,
1t puts the whole block in stew.
For without him the world in q shadow Is
furled
And loses its beauty and light:
But whene'er he appears. then 1t suddenly
clears,
As he sets all our troubles Alright
Not smile or frown comes to our part Of,
town,
But what he can give us the facts;
Ae Is able to bring just the one needed thing
Which elsewhere our happiness lacks.
Folks may move In and out, yet he knows.
all about
All the people who dwell in our street.
And no brings US such news as we love to
peruse
} While he gives every item complete.
he runs errands galore to the office and
store,
Minds the baby" and favors like that.
And there's nNre, we agree. quite so able
as he
To find lost dog or cat.
He's a mothers boy" yes. and that helps
him to bless
Whoever he happens to meet.
And his heart is OF gold and as manly and
bold
As any he halls in the street.
If there's anyone sick. he's the first one to
pick
And to take them simple bouquet,
And though rich folks or poor-doesnt
matter-he's sure
To scatter kind deeds in their way.
The neighborhood boy is a neighborhood
Joy.
With a heart that Is earnest and true;
And whene'er he's away, to be absent

1t puts the whole block in stew.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20-Consul-Gen.
eral Crittenden reports from Mexico to
the state department that Mexican to-
bacco promises to take the place of the
fne grades of Cuban tobacco in the
markets of the world. He makes no

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 serviceable, for they are simply
fruits covered with spines or prickles;
and this is only another way plants
have to distribute their seeds. That
it is a scheme that works well anyone
can see who has 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 a 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
tramps they are. Even row, in old
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 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,
has 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!0t-burr, or cockle-burr, that grows
abundantly in waste ground, and the
agrimony of our woods, are examples.
Burdock has such hooked prickles on
it's fruits, and they stick SO fast to-
gether, that children make of them
neat little baskets, handles and all. The
tick-trefoil has jointed pods, covered
thickly with small hooked hairs that
can hardly be seen without a magnify
ing glass. These arc the small, fiat.
brown burrs that cover the clothing
after walk through the woods in Sep
tcmber. They are most annoying
burrs, worse than clot-burrs, they are
so small and stick SO fast.-Thomus H.
Kearney, Jr., in st. Nicholas.

He Knew Him.

That's a very stupid brute ofyours,
john" said Scotch minister TO one
of his parishioners, peat dealer, who
drove his merchandise from door to
door in a small cart drawn by dcr-
key. II never see you but the crea-
ture is braying."
"Eh, sir" said the peat dealer, We

Increasing Demand for silver.

New YORK, Nov. 20-The demand
for silver has been steadily increasing
within the past few days, owing to
the requirements for India, and exports
are on an increasing scale. This
inquiry is on account of a larger mer-
chandise movement. The domestic de-
mand for the metal for manufacturing
purposes is also improving decidedly.
