The Dispersal of Animals.

The manner in which animals may
be conveyed from one area or region to
another by what may be called chance
agencies has always formed subject
Of much interest in the eyes of natural
lists. The same opinion may be express
ed of the dispersal of plants. Darwin
found over eighty seeds in a little
clod Of earth attached to the leg of a
migrating bird. and we can readily i'm
agine how such agencies serve to widen
the distribution Of life. Sir G. Lyell
gives an instance of plg-an animal
popularity believed to be anything but
an adept at swimming-being found far
out at sea bravely making its way to-
ward some haven of rest. Such ami
mails as tortoises may easily be con-
veyed on driftwoOd over long tracts of
ocean, A recent report of the Indian
marine survey gives n case in point A
female leopard was brought down the
Mountain river, and came aboard a
cargo steamer. Then she swan to
land, and was thereafter dispatched
Snakes were also found on the floats
of the paddle-wheels Of the surveying
steamer. having been carried down by
the flood. \ lucky settlement In 4 new
territory thus implies the extended dis
tribution of race. 1t is interesting to
note how greatly what We may call
chance may influence the extension Of

Visit Successful Farmers.

Every man can learn something from
other skilled men if he will. This in
cludes farmers. Those whose work is
SO largely visible can learn great deal
by observation. There are farmers
whose methods have been very success
full Their places should be visited
whenever an opportunity occurs and
their methods studied. The experiment
farms have lessons also for their visit
ors who want 10 learn them. We have
known progressive young farmers to
spend great deal of time and money
inspecting the farms of noted farmers
and breeders and have yet to. hear of
one regretting it. They got more than
their moneys worth, but they went for
a purpose and in the right spirit. They
didn't say of every new thing, We'll.
that won't do for us. though it may be
all right here" or 1T can't be done by
the ordinary farmer" ct cetera. Go a

A Piscatorial Pun.

1t is delightful to be able to quote
what is perhaps a new fish story from
the New York Times Saturday Review.
1t is one which Mr.. Frank Stockton
tried on John Paul.
A gentleman asked a question of Il
boy who was fishing. The boy num-
bled an indistinct response
why can't you speak plainer:' said
the gentleman. What have you in
your mOuth:"-
"Wums. wums. fur bait" answered
the boy.
That was the first instance l ever
knew" remarked Mr.. Stockton in tell
ing the story, ''Of anybody's really
speaking with baited breath"

Roses in November.

London Is city of flowers. A half
penny will buy beautiful rose in its
streets as late as November. The
flowers are sort of tea rose, raised in
the south of France, where they grow
on hedges without any especial culti-
vation. They always come with stems
at least foot long and with plenty of
foliage. The baskets in which they
are packed come to London by way of
Paris, where they are opened and the
choicest blooms extracted and put into
separate packages. The latter bring
comparatively high prices. These roses
have a way IL they are not kept in too
warm a place, of drying rather than
wlthering, and the poorer population
use them for winter bouquets as they
do eyerlaStings.

The Teachers Wife.

Clarissa, Mimi. Oct. 2S.-Mrs. Clara
Keys. wife of Chas. Keys. school teach
er of this place, tells wonderful story.
For years her life was oneof misery.
Her back ached all the time. her head
ached all the time: neuralgia pains
drove her to desperation. She used
much medicine. but failed to get any
relief till she tried Dodd's Kidney Pills.
She says:
Very soon after I began using
DOdd's Kidney Pills all my aches and
pains vanished like the morning dew.
l consider this remedy God-send to
suffering womanhood"
Encouraged by their success in her
own case. Mrs. Keys induced her
mother. an old lady of "a years, to use
Dodd's Kidney Pills for her many
aches and palms. Now both mother
and daughter rejoice in perfect freedom
from illness or suffering which is some
thing neither had enjoyed for years
before.
