ST. christopher.

The belief was that any one who
looked at representation of st. Chris
topher was safe for that day from an
evil death. The saint was always por-
trayed OF colossal size and is so paint
ed at the entrance of most Spanish ca
thedrals that all may see him. None of
the many carved figures of this saint
approaches in size one which was re-
moved from Notre Dame at Paris in
1855.
1t was said that st. Christopher's
original occupation was to carry people
across stream, and the legend is that
once child presented himself to he
conveyed over. At first his weight was
what might be expected from his in
FAINT years. but presently it began to
increase and so went on till the ferry
man was like to sink under his burden.
The child then said: wonder not. my
friend. / am Jesus, and you have the
weight of the sins of the whole world
on your back" Hence st. Christopher
is represented carrying the infant Saw
Jour across n river with the globe in his
hand.
st. Christopher has an interesting
place in the history of Typography in
consequence of wood engraving of
his figure, supposed to be of date about
1923, being the earliest known example
of that art.

Tend the Grass.

The foundation of farming is
grass, and in order to be success
full the farmer should never omit
grass from his rotation. A good
sod to turn under, at least every
four years, will make the farm more
profitable, and will be really worth
to the farmer in the benefits i'm
ported to the soil more than the
value of the grass for hay or pas
turage. When putting in a grass
crop in the spring the careful
preparation of the soil should be
the main object. An application
of fertilizer, to be narrowed in,
will be worth more to the grass
than at any later stage, Get a
good start and the grass will take
care of itself.

Several pairs of pigeons which a sci
enlist has observed in Paris have rails
ed their young in nests made entirely
of hairpins collected on the paths of
the Luxembourg.
The largest nest in the world is built
by the mound bird, a sort of Austria
liam fowl. 1t makes mounds some
times $50 feet in circumference, in
which it buries its eggs five feet deep.
The heaviest bird that flies is the
great bustard. In size it exceeds the
Norwegian blackjack. The old males
weigh about 80 pounds, Lut when food
is plentiful the young males may
weigh 40 pounds. Great bustards were
formerly as plentiful in western
Europe as cartridges. Now they are
rarely found.

There is group of Boer envoys
at Washington, awaiting an inter-
view with President Roosevelt.
They seek the aid of the United
States in bringing the war with
England to a close on some other
ground than that of absolute sub
jugation and the annihiliation of
the two republics. The delegates
believe that the general trend of
sentiment in this country is favor
able to the Beers. and they speak
of the large mass meetings held in
various cities as significant of the
sympathy of the American people
with the Beers in their struggle
for liberty. No time has been
fixed for an audience with the
President, but the ENJOYS believe
that from "his inherited love of
liberty, not to mention his Dutch
ancestry. he will assure them of
sympathy and grant them some
action looking toward interces-
sion" But we doubt it. In
other times we could declare our
sympathy with Greece, with the
South American republics and
with Cuba, but if we open our
lips on the destruction of the
South African republics the Brit
ish have their answer ready and
declared. 1t will be "Look at the
