The Stranger Changed His Mind.

About a year ago Major Mckinley,
ex-Congressman Butterworth and some
other gentlemen were travelling to-
gether in the smoking compartment Of
a Pullman car. Mckinley and Butter
worth were not known to the others.
The conversation turned to the patent
Office, and one Of the strangers in
CURED whether any OF the others had
known ex-Commissioner Of Patents
Butterworth.
ooh, yes" promptly replied Major
Butterworth, "I knew Ben Butter
worth when he was a boy. I have
often seen his father give him a sound
licking"
"But that can't be the one I mean"
said the stranger, "for his father was
a Quaker"
Eyes, he was a Quaker. But [ sim
ply testify to what [ have seen. /
have frequently seen Ben get a licking.
His father licked him once or twice a
week regularly"
"How did you happen to be on hand
when he got licked?" inquired the
stranger.
"Oh, 7 played with Ben, and 1 was
generally around"
At this point in the conversation a
friend of Major Butterworth joined the
company and called him by name.
The stranger heard it and, going over
to him, remarked
"Being a Quaker, I thought the old
man did wrong to lick Ben, but !
am satisfied the boy richly deserved
il. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Plant Growth in Alaska.

Alaska is o country of great agri-
cultural possibilities. The coast belt
and the lowlands of the Yukon region
are covered as soon as spring arrives
with q luxuriant growth Of grass and
flowers. Among the most valuable
grasses is the familiar Kentucky blue
grass, which grows as far north as
kotzebue Sound, and another is the
blue-ioint grass, reaching four or five
feet in height. These make most ex-
cellent forage. Barley has been tried
at Port Yukon In small patches, aud
it has matured, though the straw was
short. Rye and barley ought to sue
coed, inasnuch as those grains are
grown in very high latitudesi in Europe.
The Island of Kadiak is in the same
latitude, with temperature and rain
fall about equal, as a part of Scotland,
which produces much barley and rye.
Oats are hardy and will grow very
far north.
The growth of plants in that far
northern region is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The snow has hardly disappeared be-
fore a mass of heritage has sprung up,
and spots which a few days before
| presented nothing but a white sheet
are teaming with vegetation, produc.
| ing leaves, flowers, and fruit in quick
succession. Indeed during the short
| and hot summer the vegetation at
tains an almost tropical luxuriance.
Every plant is rushed as fast as pos
sible to a ripening, in order that its
seeds may be produced before the
early frosts of autumn nip it. Plants,
of course, are accustomed in temperate
ATTITUDES to sleep at night, and it is
interesting to observe that the vege'
tation of arctic Alaska pursues a SINH
lar habit for SO many hours in each
twenty-four, wen though the u ii
