only in fields and along roadsides but
in the streets of cities and on vacant
lots and too often in cultivated fields,
where it does great injury to crops.
Its common name, horse nettle, botan-
ical Solanum Carolinense, does not in
dictate that this weed is closely related
to the cultivated potato but the bo-
tanical name Of the genus shows close
relationship. An examination of the
the flowers shows they much resemble
those Of the potato, being blush or
whitish in color. The berry, commonly
called the seed, also resembles that
formed on the potato. The leaves have
large prickles on the midrib and some
Of the larger lateral ribs. They are
also slightly hairy. The stem is beset
with numerous stout prickles. Many
of the related plants Of this genus are
ANIMALS, but horse nettle is a deep
rooted perennial, its roots often ex-
tending three feet Or more into the
soil. This fact makes it a very tena-
cious weed, very difficult to extermi-
nate. For this reason the weed grows
in dense patches, which are carefully
avoided by stock in pastures. I would
advise blowing the land at this season,
allowing none of the leaves to appear.
The plants should be kept down the
succeeding year. Plow the ground
again next summer. Sow thickly with
rye and keep watch Of the nettle, al
lowing none to grow. Careful work
for two seasons should remove it,

A Valuable Set of Linen.

It was linen cuff, and the quick
thought Of the woman who wore it
that gave us one of the prettiest of the
fanciful Strauss waltzes Johann
Strauss and his wife were one day en-
joying stroll in the park at Schonau,
when suddenly the composer exc
laimed: ':My dear, have waltz in
my head; quick-give me a scrap Of
paper or an old envelope; I must write
it down before forget it," Alas!
after much rummaging Of pockets, it
was found that neither of them had a
letter about them-not even trades
mans bill. Johann Strauss music is
considered light, but it weighed as
heavy as lead on his brain, until he
could transfer it to paper. His des-
pair was pathetic. AT last q happy
thought struck Frau Strauss. She
held out a snowy cuff, the composer
clutched it eagerly, and in two minutes
that cuff was manuscript. It's mate
followed; still the inspiration was in
complete. Strauss was frantic, and
was about to make a wild dash for
home with the third part of his waltz
ringing uncertainty in his head. His
own linen was limp colored Calico
when suddenly his frau bethought
herself Of her collar, and in an instant
the remaining bars of The Blue Dam
ube' decorated its surface. Fable

Power of Machinery Compared With
Muscular Power,

Sir Frederick Bramwell has drawn
an interesting picture Of the insignif-
cant thing that muscular power,
whether animal or human, is when
compared with the vast force exerted
nowadays by machinery. Contrast
ing a gallery, for example-a vessel
propelled by oars-with a modern At
lanric liner, and assuming that prime
movers were nonresident, and that
this vessel was to be propelled after
galley fashion, he proceeds thus: Take
the length of the vessel as 600 feet,
and assume that place could be found
fol. as n,anv as 400 oars on each side,
each oar worked by three men, or
2,4OO men, and allow that six men un-
der these conditions could develop
work equal to one horse power. The
product would then be 400 horse pow
er. If this capacity were doubled the
500 horsepower would require 1880
men at work, and at least the same
number In reserve if the journey were
to be carried on continuously. Con-
trast the puny results thus obtained
with 1880 horsepower given forth by
a large prime mover Of the present
day. To obtain such a force, on the
above method Of calculation, III, 900
men at work would be needed, and
III 900 in, reserve, and it is easy to see
what this would mean in a vessel of
900 feet in length. Even if it were
possible to carry this number of men
in such a vessel, by no conceivable
means could their power be so utilized
as to impart to it speed Of twenty
knots an hour. This is given as an
illustration of how prime mover may
not only be mere substitute for mus
cular work, but may afford the means
IF attaining an end that could not by
any possibility be reached by mus
cular exertion, no matter what money
was expended, or what stimulus was
applied. Another instance is seen in
! the railroad locomotive, in which 400
to 600 horsepower is developed in a
machine which, even including it's ten
der, does not occupy an area of more
than fifty square yards, and that can
draw heavy train at sixty miles an
hour. Here, again, the prime mover
does what no expenditure of money
or life could secure from muscular
effort.

Lecture of Rev. D. N. Beach.

The League lecture by the Rev. D. n.
Beach, last evening, was largely attend
ed and was full of profit The audience
sat an hour and three quarters to hear a
man on a topic supposed to be worn out
the suppression of the liquor traffic
and then seemed loath to go home.
Many fingered to shake hands with the
man who had so aroused them. Mr..
Beach began with comparison of the
merits of a general prohibitory law with
local option. While in principle he is
a staunch prohibitionist, he prefers local
option as a working law. The great
yearly contest is an education, and a
committal which promises enforcement
of the rule when mo license" is voted.
The speaker then proceeded to show the
merits of the Norwegian plan where the
vote is for license. This is a favorite
theme of his and much light was thrown
upon system, the excellent effects of
which. Mr.. Beach has witnessed in Scan
dinavia. The speaker finally came to
the intense and dramatic portion of his
lecture in his vivid description of the
yearly struggle in Cambridge, Mass,
where for a decade ''no license has been
voted and carried out. Here Catholics
and Protestants Of every shade have sol
idly united to overthrow the saloon, and
with a success which places the city of
seventy thousand souls, including our
greatest university, as the first of its
size in our country and perhaps in the
world, in pure government, in material
and moral prosperity. Mr.. Beach has
been foremost mover in this revolution.
He speaks from experience and with the
eloquence of one who having great gifts,
is subcommittee TO the noblest refol ms
of the day.
