The Tumble Weed.

Tumble weeds spread themselves in q
wholesale fashion. Instead Of sending
the separate seeds ont into the world
with wings or hairs to carry them, the
whole plant breaks off near the root,
when these are ripe. and goes rolling
along the ground before the wind. The
bare, sun scorched deserts of the great
west produce several tumble weeds, and
there are some in the prairie region. 1t
is natural that they should be most
abundant where there are no hills nor
trees 10 stop them i'll their course. But
we have one tumble weed in the east
the old witch grass, SO called maybe be-
cause it rides the wind like an cid bel
dame. In septe,SSher this grass spreads
Its head, or paniC.e, with hairlike, pur-
pie branches, in every sandy field. When
the seeds are ripe, the plants are blown
across the field. often pilin2 up in masses
along fences and hedgerows As might
be expected. the hair grass, which has
SO effective way of spreading itself, is
found throughout the United States
from ocean TO ocean.-Thomas II. Kear-
ney, Jr., IN st. Nicholas.

Tho Whole Globe a GRAVEYARD.

TheRarisian doctors and speculative
philosophers are great fellows for max
ing odd calculations ON all subjects.
One of the very latest is one concerning
the human family since the beginning
of time. 1t is long magazine article
and gives much that is interesting in
the way Of human family statistics, but
the most striking portions are those
which give figures On the number of
human beings that have inhabited the
earth and have died and been buried in
it since the first man was created. Ac-
cording to these curious figures, the
earth has been peopled by no less than
1921, S42 1887, 075, 266 human inhabit-
ants since the beginning of time. To
bury this vast number the whole landed
surface would have to be dug over 100
times. Had you ever thought that You
were living in the midst of such a gi-
gantic cemetery:-St. Louis Republic.

A Test of Courtesy.

1t happened not long ago that had
occasion to request u friend to deliver
an urgent letter for me. The letter con-
tanned business Of importance which
was private in its nature. as it concern
ed IA debt. To hand my friend a sealed
letter was to presuppose that he would
read it if open. To give it to him I'M
sealed was to risk the possibility of a
third party reading it, for the exigen-
cies Of life are many, and letters are
known to have been dropped.
pondered. perplexed, but decided
that courtesy was one of the first laws
of society and left the letter open.
With an easy bow my friend received
the note; then, seeing the open flap of
the envelope, instantly gummed it
down.
That, said inwardly, is true cour-

A Modern Jonah.

The London Culver appears to take
the position that there is no argument
valid upon premise of inherent impos-
sibility." In driving argument along
that line The Culver man deduces facts
and figures from the different authori-
ties to prove that it is altogether prob
able that the story Of Jonah and the
whale is noa myth, as is now popu-
larly supposed That such piscine feat
as that attributed to Jonah s whale is at
least possible is proved by an incident
which occurred in the Mediterranean o
few years ago. A British war vessel
was sailing quietly along one day, when
sudden lurch threw a seaman over
board. A huge shark instantly arose,
and those on board were Mortified to see
their companion disappear down its
throat. In a moment, before the fero-
cious "water tiger" could right itself
and dive, the captain seized a gun and
fired. The shot struck the creature
square in the back and was such shock
or surprise that the shark cast the man
out, and he was rescued alive by his
comrades.
Arguing from the above incident,
The Culver thinks it highly probable
that the Jonah story is true in every
particular

The Nose.

The nose is intended for breathing.
the mouth for speaking and eating. Who
has ever seen horse breathing other
wise than through his nostrils? Minute
scientific investigation has revealed the
fact that the number Of people who
breathe through their nostrils are be-
coming gradually but surely fewer in
number. The consequence is that the
nostrils decrease in size. while it has
been foand that the prevailing nose is
quite an inferior organ to that of our
forefathers.

quently asked to operate on noses ana
to enlarge them. Their owners have
found that they do not fulfill their funo-
tions as well as they used to. 1t is be-
ginning to be feared by scientific people
that if matters grow much worse we
shall lose the use Of our nasal organs
entirely.
It is a well known physiological fact
that unused muscles and bones gradual
ly disappear. Fish who live in the
dark, for instance, or the mole. who re-
sides underground, become blind. Thus,
if we cease to use our noses for breath.
ing, they will cease to exist. They will
become perhuous!-Pearson' 3 Weekly.
