when Mother Scrubs.


When mother scrubs US Sunday morn,
There's lively times, you bet;
There's faces wry, with howl and cry
To keep out OF the wet.
There's argument and weak excuse
And faces full forlorn
When mother scrubs and digs and rubs
Us every Sunday morn.
When mother scrubs US, there's glow
OF white comes DER the scene,
A shedding OF the old, and new
Comes where the old has been;
A shrinkage in more ways than one,
wish we'd ne'er been born,
When mother scours with all her powers
On every Sunday morn
When mother scrubs US Sunday morn,
She gets all out of breath;
She pants and sweats and signs and frets
And scrubs US most to death.
She scrubs our backs till they are sore,
Till skin and flesh are gone,
Then wonders why we'd rather die
Than wake on Sunday morn.
No wonder Billy Buzzey says
That Pm thin skinned jay;
I've got to be, 'cn ma, you see,
Has scrubbed it all away.
Oh, won't we be happy lot,
The widest ever born,
When we're too big for ma to dig
And scrub on Sunday morn?

Fighting a Flower.

Tho people of Florida are struggling
against what they call the "hyacinth
pest" Ten years ago a gentleman,
living on the St. Johns River, plant
ed in the river a water hyacinth. 1t
has spread to such an extent that
tho tributary rivers are entirely closed
to navigation and the upper St. Johns
almost closed. Often steamers are
unable to move, because the wheels
have become clogged by the mass of
flowers.
Tie Copgregationalist describes the
byacinth thus: The blossoms are
very pretty. They grow in spiral form,
of delicate lavender shade, with
single spot Of bright yellow. about the
size OF pen, on tho lower leaf, and a
ring of blue round the yellow. They
are not fragrant.
The plant does mot take root in the
bed of the river, but floats on the sur
face. Could ii be kept near the shc.c,
the difficulty would not be 60 serious,
but it covers the entire river so thick.
ly that by throwing down planks men
can walk on it. In ono plac. where
the river is two miles wide, it is like
n green meadow.
Not only does it make navigation
difficult, but it covers the logs which
arc being foated down in RATS It
has stopped the fishing, too. Even
the alligators hate it, as they cannot
como up to the surface through it to
breathe. When the rank growth is
thrown up along the banks it decays,
making the place unhealthful.
A number of methods for extermi.
mating the plant have been tried A
Florida paper says that for timo
fairly successful use was made Of

PERPETUAL MOTION A DELusror.


Arkwright, the celebrated Eng
lish inventor, in his younger days,
and even Sir Isaac Newton believed
perpetual motion might be discover
ed. All so called perpetual motion
machines that have run have been
impositions, with secret clockwork
or some other hidden source of pro-
pulsion.
Men have presumed, by the aid
Of levers, balls rolling on an inclin-
ed plane, the wheel and axle, the
Archimcdcan screw, the pump, the
siphon, the hydrostatic bellows, the
hydraulic ram, etc., to have discov-
cred perpetual motion. An authori-
ty in the study declares: sFrom tho
infant machine projected in the
thirteenth century to the last hy-
draulic, pneumatic, weighted and
lever worked prctensions patented
as motions, no motion whatever has
resulted from the one or the other
to the present day. Not solitary
discovery is OH record, not one alb
