SOME COMMON SEEDS.

are exchanged between countries on
opposite sides of the world. Seeds
clinging to the wool of sheep and cat
tie may thus be carried from the
United Statesto Europe, or from Aus
tralia to the United States. Frequent
" in the vicinity of wool-cleaning
works plants foreign 10 that part of
the world may be found growing.
When you pick the "stickers" out
of your clothing or cut them out of
Rover's hair you may cast them on
the ground, and if conditions are ia
vorable new plants will grow from the
seeds, and, without thinking about it,
you thus help nature to weave her
summer garments.
The dandelion thistle, milkweed and
willow have a pleasant way of travel
ing. Each little seed is provided with
a little feathery sail, and is sometimes
carried many miles by stiff breeze
The seeds of the maple, catalpa, ash
and pine are provided with one or two
wings instead of sails. They cannot
travel as far through the air as seeds
provided with sails, but they may fal
into a river, and there Is no telling how
far they may float or where they may
stop, take root and grow. Seeds pro
duced along rivers in the interior Of
continents have been found on the
shores of islands in midocean.
Some plants, like the orange, apple
and pear, surround their seeds with
an edible pulp, but these plants make
q very wise provision by giving theil
seeds a bitter taste, so that the sweet
pulp is eaten, and the bitter life germ.
are thrown away. Like the peach
many plants protect their seeds from
being eaten by surrounding them with
a hard shell.
The seeds of the raspberry, black
berry and strawberry are so small
that most of them Go not digest whel
the fruit is eaten. Owing to thi
birds and animals assist nature yer,
greatly by scattering seeds.
Wild geraniums and lady-slipper
have a curious way. When the seed

saH.ig open and fling the seeds in al
directions.
ia Studying nature, although it i
so fu}l nt life, we must not overlook tn
fact i5sS life is the exception an,

the seeds produced ever grow int
ulants, ard very few of the plants tina
spring up ever mature. We're thi

HOB, MOB AND BOB.
The Death of One. by Accident, Leads
to the determination of the
Happy Family.

Once upon time man wrote
story called "Rab and His Friends,
over which many people wept. Tho
story of Hob and his friends has a
pathos of its own-though Hob was
merely Cleveland goat.
He lived contentedly in the stable
of his owner, and one day there came
a cat 10 keep him company. Hob de-
veloped quite fondness for her, and
she became known as mob" BY and
by horse joined the animals in the
stable and was dubbed Bob" The
three became the closest friends.
AS Bob would stand in his stall after
hard days work Mob would spring
on his back, and from that lofty plain
purr softly to Bob. Hob usually
found a place in the stall beside Bob

Muscles of the Eye.

Human beings have six muscles in
each eye, that they may move it on
either side; but horses, cows, sheep
and other quadrupeds, which habitual-
ly incline their heads to the earth in
search of food, have muscle by which
their eyelids are suspended and sup
ported, and which we do not need.

GOOD SCHEME

Uncle sam.

Washington. Dec. l8-From information
received here il appears that the autono-
mist government OF Cuba established
about one year ago is making a strenuous
EFFORT to dispose Of a number OF very valu-
aoie franchises ana concessions before
advent Of the military government Of the
United States. These franchises and con-
cessions include the right to construct and
operate the Central railway line OF the is
land, including eleven branches, ana also
net work OF electric tramways for Ha-
yana. The authorities first secured an
agreement with General Wade at Havana.
by which Spanish sovereignty over the is
land was TO cease and formal occupation
by the army Of the United States begin on
