Noxjous Seeds In Wool.

THE recent warning from the Maine
experiment station concerning weeds
in seed" says Maine gentleman, may
well be supplemented by calling atten-
ton to those introduced in the vicinity
Of Maine wooden mills in the wool
brought from Australia or Texas or
the Lord knows where. This is one
Of the most prolific sources of foul
seeds the state has known. Two pc
culiarly aggressive weeds owe their
Importation into Maine to this cause,
say the wool sorters; these are what
is popularity called May weed and red
root or burr weed The May weed
has one principal root which runs deep
with a twist like a corkscrew, and
when matured has branchy, sprang-
ling, mazy-looking top full Of fine seed
pods, spreading in all directions and
ready to shell out seeds in enormous
quantity on the least provocation. The
burr weed is more robust and grows
eighteen inches or two feet high,
single stalk with a crown top at first,
with sprouts developing other stalks
from the joints later. It's seeds are
held in mass of burrs which become
brittle and light, when ripened and
are readily blown about. 1t, too, has
a tap-rOot which goes down to
straight depth. 1t seeds profusely.
Both the May weed and the burr weed
when hoed up or pulled up from the
soil will not grow again if they are
carefully carried off the premises and
burned. With anything less they are
pretty sure to reappear, with additions.
The burr weed, if left on the ground,
will send root down and stalk up at
every joint. Fortunately, these weeds
do not thrive in grass land. If they
did the state would soon be oyerrun
with them. Lewiston Journal.

could still make a remarkable showing
against them.
Nowhere has the "Ras" Makonnen's
generalship shown to greater advantage
than in the way he stormcd the fortress
OF Makaleh, held by well-equipped
body of Italian troops, commanded by
Colonel Galliano. 1t took three des-
perate assaults to dislodge the Italians,
80 well protected were they by the ma
tural advantages Of the fortress, The
walls Of Makaleh were steep and
smooth, affording no foothold whatever
to the bcsleging Abyssinians, AS each
attempt was made the Italians raked
the savageg with murderous fire from
Calling guns and rifles, picking off hun
dreds of them.
In modern warfare there has been no
stranger and more picturesque battle.
Amy other commander than the "Ras"
Makonnen would have given up Maka-
leh in despair. But this savage, des-
perate black knew well that this fort
ress was forth the taking at any price,
Again and again he returned to the
charge Frantcally he cheered his half
fren2ie troops on. No matter how
MANI fell, he brought forward fresh
detachment after detachment, I'M
wearied and unfaltering.
Ladders were placed along the walls,
and Abyssinians swarmed frantically
up, trying to reach the parapet. With
Volley after volley OF stones the Ital-
ians moved them down, hurting off the
ladders, line after line. Whenever a
muscular black mounted to the parapet
he met death from an axe in the hands
OF an Italian soldier Hundreds Of
Abyssnians fell into the ditch below
until 1t was no longer a ditch-only a
huge heap Of corpses and. struggling,
dying men, who breathed their last
breath smothered by the bodies that
fell from the ladders with the regularity
Of clockwork.
And yet like ants they continued to
swarm, as If for each black that was
killed a score more sprang out Of the
ground. 1t was in vain that the Ital-
ians fought nobly. The "Ras" Makon-
men knew what he was about, knew that
numbers, and numbers only, could take
this old fortress of the hills and check
and defeat his countrys invaders.
At last the garrison capitulated, leav-
ing this place that had been the finest
exploit Of their campaign and the
furthest step Of their advance into
Abyssinia. 1t was then that strange
incident occurred, strange in all this
savage war of bloodshed and fanatl-
cism, for the Italians were allowed to
march out without menace and with
out the further killing of single man,
allowed to depart with all their baggage
and with supply of provisions fur
nished by the Abyssinians. Why such
mercy was shown can not be accounted
for.

Yule Fires.

Do not the "kitchen middens'' OF
which geologists tell us-those singular
remains of gigantic fires and roasted
bones which science has discovered on
many northern shore-mark the site
where the Yule logs of the kings fires
were first kindled? Quantities Of fossil
lied bones are embedded in the old world
ash heaps-bones which careful investi-
cation assures us have been roasted.
Huge cooking places they must once have
been. The bones strewing the ground
after carouse seem to have been spe-
cial feature Of a Danish feast. We have
only to recall the death Of Elphage, the
patrior archbishop Of Canterbury, in the
days Of Ethelred, who, although pris-
oner in the Danish camp, steadily re-
fused to deliver himself by ransom, say
ing it would be treason in him to pay
the enemies Of England. "Gold, bishop,
gold!" shouted the Danish troops, thirst
ing more for gain than blood, until, ir-
ritated by his constancy, they ran to a
heap Of bones and horns Of oxen-the
relics of their repasts-and showered
them from all sides upon the aged
Saxon. Elphage soon fell half dead, and
was dispatched with an AK by one Of the
pirates.
We may gather some idea of these 81
gantic Yule fires from the ancient edictl
and the allusions in the sagas to the all
important duty Of kindling the beacon
fires at the approach Of an enemy. Wher1
ever the Norsemeh settled these beacon
fires were established and their wardens
appointed. CLAUS Magnus and Snorro
both prove that large trees were cut
down in the nearest forest and piled
upon the beacon hill until the blazing
pine wood must have resembled burn
ing mountain. Yet the kings fire at the
feast Of Thor exceeded the beacons on
the Norway headlands, as it burned for
w6eks, for the feast Of Thor was also
the appointed time for regulating ell
nome affairs. Notes and Queries.
