THE RUSSIAN THISTLE.
Worst Pest American Farmers Have
Yet Deen Called Upon to Keep
In Subsection.

Look out for the Russian thistle. II
is here and it has come to stay, says
Farm News. Last year the writer saw
a good many specimens east of the
Mississippi river, some of them along
the railroads of Ohio. Last fall a good
many thistles went to seed and the
winter winds blew them hither anG
yon all across the country. This
spring there are a good many place.
where Russian thistles are springine
up miles away from the place where
the seed ripened last fall. This is es.
pecially true of the prairie sections oil
Illinois, and it is safe to predict that
the battle with this pest is on. Every
man must use his. best efforts to de.
stroy every specimen on his land. il

ing specimens grow along one of the
great railroads, and it is surprising
how rapidly they shoot up and how
thickly the land has become seeded
with them in some places. II one OF
these plants gets start. it soon throw.
out side branches and the shade kill.
any other plant near the thistle, anG
if the thistles are thick enough every
other kind of vegetation disappears
A single plant where it grows alone
will often cover a circular spot three
feet in diameter before the season i.
over. 1t is the worst weed pest we
have ever been called upon to fight
and 1t should be kept in subjectior
from the first.

Drivers on London Streets.

As a rule, the carelessness of thu
driver varies somewhat in proportion to
the invu~lnerability OF the vehicle that he
drives. The driver of the hanson cab,
tllousa he often outrivals Jehu in the
speed and fury Of his driving, is always
on the alert and rarely fails to pull up
his horse in midcareer and avoid the
collision which threatens him. To travel
swiftly, to cut in aud out Of slower
carriages, is the life Of the hanson. We
engage it Tor that purpose and its driver
seldom disappoints us. But the hanson
is an extremely vulnerable vehicle; even
in collision with the four-whesier it
will surely fare the worse. Hence it
comes about that the driver Of a hanson
keeps a sharp lookout for obstacles and
prefers pulling his horse on his launches
to running over even the innocent foot
passenger.
1t is curious that, with all their speed,
both hansoms and butchers carts-by
far the swiftest OF the wheeled denizens
of our streets-have fewer accidents
laid to their accounts than their slower
fellows. The omnibus driver is also OF
3 careful nature. He, too, conducts q
carriage that cannot 60 into action with
impunIty. The omnibus can afford to
bully the hanson or the brougham but
1t dare not jostle the vcn ofits W size.
And as regards foot passengers, the
driver has a natural tenderness toward
an unprotected race who supply him
with fares.-1ne Spectator,

Fortnlghtly Review: Sierra Leone has o
memorable history. Through more than
two centuries the haunt of slave dealers
and pirates, who followed the example set
by Captain John Hawkins In 1862. 1t was
the site chosen for the first practical at
tempt to make. some PREPARATION for the
grievous wrongs previously done to West
African natives. In 1TS7, at the instigation
OF Sharp and other p~hilanthro-
pists, the British government sent to 1t a
cargo of about 400 liberated blacks then
wandering about in London, with about
eighty White women of loose character to
keep them company; and, on a plot of
tand bought from the native chiefs. Free
Town was started, MS the basis of q free
settlement. added to and ~replentshed by
other consiSn1nents, was none too pros
porous. The newcomers quarreled with
one another and with their %neighbors.
and short lived. Matters improved when
the enterprise was taken over by a Sierra
Leone company in 1891, but it was only
saved from ruin by the "self-sacrificing
energy OF Zachary Maca.iay. the histor-
ian's father, who was governor OF the
struggling colony from 1893 to 1880.
In these and later years the population.
IN spite of an appalling death rate, was
steadily increased by fresh supplies from
the West Indies and elsewhere; and it
grew more rapidly after 1907. when Eng
lands share in the slave trade was abol-
ished by act Of parliament, n when
Sierra Leone. again placed under the direct
rule Of the crown, came to he the principal
%slavers, as well as for runaways from the
interior. According to the census of 1881,
It then contained over $4,000 liberated Afri-
cans and their descendants, besides-in SO
much of the territory as was under any
sort of settled rule-more than 10000 other
black people and ga whites.

Flax with other Grain.

Under some conditions it may b.
advisable to grow fax with other
grain. Flax is very exhaustive crop
but In this fact lies the advantage
when grain is OWE on very rich land
in mixing some flaxseed with it. Il
the fax is not grown the grain will
grow too rank a straw, while with the
fax to help exhaust the superfuou,
fertility there is less danger of this
There will, be more of the grain
grown, while all of the tlaxseed that
Is harvested will be SO much clear
gain. Barley is one Of the best grains
to grow with fax, and both are ready
to cut at the same time. But both
should be very lightly seeded If clio.
YER seed is sown the same spring, else
there will be q poor catch of clover

RUSSIAN COURTS.
Justice Administered In Primitive bus

In the poorer parts of Russia justice

I've fashion. says n recent writer who
had the fortune to be present at q sit
ting OF IL of the peasant courts in a
government OF, central Russia The
judges, chosen from the peasants, were
unlettcred. The session was held i'll a
log cabin-a small, low room. A pict-
IRE of the emperor decorated the wall,
and as in every Russian house, in the
corner hung the holy eikous. Three
judges and a scribe were present. The
day was Sunday, a day of idleness for
the %peasanlry. The hall, the judges
and the public all had an air of simple
dignity, almost of rude majesty.
Two cases were tried. Parties and
witnesses, as they entered, bowed low
to the holy images. The judges spoke
and questioned by turns. or ali at once,
each loudly expressing his opinion. I
admired the patient persistence with
which they tried TO bring the litigants
tu nj anlicable understanding. Ono
case was characteristic.
A woman, q large, robust virago,
complained of having been beaten by a
man. The mans defense was that the
woman had struck him first. Plaintiff
and defendant stood before the Judges
volubly pleading each his or her case
and appealing 10 their witnesses at
their sides.
"Varvara Petrova," declared one wit
ness for the defendant. .has said that
with a vedro Of vodka she was sure Of
winning her case"
This statement did not appear to as
tonish Or s~candalize the court. The
judges gravely nodded their heads, and
after u brief rebuke went on with the
case.
Come to terms; make it up between
you," they repeated over and over, try
ing to get the parties themselves to sug-
gest a sentence. instead of pronouncing

"Ah. three roubles! That's too much.
You won't get that" muttered the
Judge. Then turning to the defendant:

"Well. then, one rouble."

judges, whose austerity may have been
increased by our presence. "Out Of

The woman. on this, looked resigned;
the scribe read the sentence, the two
litigants bowed in acquiescence, then

To Clean i'inHU Keys.
London Mail: The white ivory keys
of a piano should never be cleaned
with water, which discolors them. In,
stead they should be rubbed over with
a soft flannel or piece Of silk dipped in

notes are stained OF greasy use methy'

A simple way Of cleaning ivory is as
follows: Get some bicarbonate of soda
and some hot water. Dip a brush into
the water and then into the soda, and
rub the ivory with it.
