did service heretofore offered by this

important point in the South and South
west, and by means of its connection

time saver and convenience to the trav-

very best service between Washington,
Richmond and all points South. The

Sleepers, Day coaches, and dining cars
of the latest improved designs.
With this new service one can leave
Washington at 1880 a. m. Richmond at
about 2:4O p. M, reaching Jacksonville

9uets on carrion. It's powers are
adapted to it's instincts. It's beak is
feeble compared with that of the
eagle. The toes are longer, feebler,
with huge hooked claws, and incap-
able of grasping heavy weight dur
ing flight.
Where he finds his food there he
banquets, never attempting to carry
st to his haunts. OF powerful and
robust build, he has neither the bill
nor the talons OF the eagle, the for
ner beingF elongated and hooked
only at the top and the latter COM
saratively small and feeble. Nor has
AeN&e Exclusive appetite for blood,
carrioW and putrid animals being
gredily devoured by him.
This rare bird attacks lambs, kids
and the weak and sickly of the flock.

serbear an attack on man. Children

ABow SEEDS TRAVEL.
ater, Animals and Men, All
Hive "A Hand I'm Disseminating
Plant Life

If you are out in the fields among
the flowers in the late summer or
early fall days, you will notice many
small particles floating in the air,
some high, some low; If you catch
one of these flying notes you will
find it is a seed. Sometimes little
threads or flaments are attached to
she seed; these spread themselves out
and act like little wings and keep the
seed from falling in it's passage
through the air.
Besides being carried by the wind
many seeds are carried by animals.
sheep are great collectors of seeds,
as their long wool catches and holds
the seed pods which are carried to the
sther end OF the pasture, or perhaps
\ 80 some~diskant farm never before i'm
vested by that kind of weeds. Rowing
dogs, especially collies and other
Iong-haired kinds, bring burrs of bur
dock and similar weeds to. their own
ers' farms. Many seeds are carried in
che stomschs of animals and are thus
taken a great distance, sometimes
even into foreign countries. Birds
often carry seeds great distance not
only in their stomachs but on their
feathers; sometimes a bird starts
With seed in its mouth and drops it
On its way. Long rows of cedar trees
along farm fences in certain sections
are examples of tree planting through
the agency Of birds.
Water plays a great part in the dis
Srtbuion of seeds; swiftly flowing
water often carries seeds great dis
sance. The ocean, too, does it's share
Of seed carrying, and tropical islands
sometimes exchange seeds by means
Of the tides.
No doubt you have been the uncon-
scious distributor of troublesome
weeds by plucl1ing burrs off your gar
nents and carelessly casting tkem
away.
Dame Nature has no difficulty in
distributing her seeds, for wind and
waves, birds, animals and human be-
mgs help her in her work. But in
order that man may have the kind of
plants he wants in his garden or on
his farm, express companies and the
United States mails must be made to
assist In the distribution of seeds.
Thousands and thousands of pack
ages of seeds are sent out every year
BY .SS great seed farm. One firm in
California grows 200 acres of sweet
peas. This grower has introduced
more than 20 varieties. Other firms
may have done as well, perhaps even
Setter, but this to me seems marvel

aREEN1EAF VACATION SCHOOL.
The Pupils Given Trolley Ride and a
DAYS Outing.

The last but one Of the Greenleaf Sum-
mer School outings took place today when
about 600 children of the school went on a
pilgrimage to Rockville for fun and feast
Ing. The money to pay for the Transports
ton of the children was furnished by Mrs.
Ida Gilbert Myers, the assistant superin-
tendent of schools, who has favored the
vacation school and given 1t her personal
attention. At Rockville games, races and
athletic contests were INDUCED in, and at 6
o'clock the children will be brought back to
the city happy and dirty, and grateful to
Mrs. Myers for her kindly interest in them
and their efforts.
These trips are not charity" trips in any
sense of the word. The pupils would pay
their own care fare, II necessary, but this
feature is considered as an important and
pertinent factor in the work of the school,
and it is believed the expense attending
these trips should be paid by others than
the children, the same as is the cost of the
regular school-room work. With this idea
in view several interested persons have
agreed to furnish cars free for the pupils
SO that when an appropriation for the vaca-
ton school is made this feature of the work
will be provided for as a necessary ad-
junct.
The school will close with a free exhibit
ton of the work July 81 and the building
will be open for visitors August 1, from .
to II am, and to u pm, when all per-
sons who wish to see the results of the
summer school efforts in the way of manual
training are invited to be present.

authorized by the last legislature, have
been sold by Mayor Eckhardt to the Co

c., at par. The bonds will be issued in
denominations of $50 each, and bear per
cent interest from August 10. Mr.. Eek
hardt has arranged that the town shall hold
the privilege Of redeeming the bonds before
maturity if desired. The issue will be for
5000, all of which is to be expended in the
Improvement of the sidewalks and streets
The council meets next Monday night, at
which time the committee on improvements
will have the plat of the town ready show
ing where the sidewalks are most needed
The work will be put out by contract. Per-
sons desiring walks built in front of their
property have the privilege Of filing an ap-
plication for the same.
A new tax book has been made for the
town, and bills will be ready in about ten
days. The mayor has ordered the marshal
to enforce the law requiring every one
owning dog to pay the required tax
promptly.
Quite an interesting game of ball was

ten-year-old girl named Stella Motherall
was cared for by the matron at the house
Of detention yesterday afternoon. She came
here from Terre Haute, Ind, expecting to
be met by her sister from New York. Her
sister was not at the Pennsylvania depot
when the train from the west pulled in.
Stella searched through the crowd for two
or three hours and then sought informa-
ton of the police
Detective Hewlett accompanied the child
to Capt Boardmans office where she re-
lated the story of her travels. She left the
home of her grandmother in Indiana Thurs
day afternoon alone and enjoyed the
night in a sleeper. She did not hear the
conductor say: THE next stop is Wash
ington," and when she left the train she
believed she was in New York.
Stella was on her way to the metropolis
to spend her vacation and was very much
disappointed when her sister failed to meet
her at the railroad station. Capt. Board
man wired the grandmother and the latter
sent money for the purchase of ticket to
the little ones destination. The delayed
traveller was put aboard a train which was

rams for them from every quarter of the
District because of their success in secur-
ing so large an appropriation for the needs
