In church where the prayers are
made at the discretion of the minister
very strange intercessions are some
times presented. remember well
ages since hearing old DR.. Muir of
Glasgow, who was real though &C.
centric genius in his day and of whom
no English reader ever heard. relate an
incident which had been in his own
knowledge. "Mr. Smith was preach
ing at Drumsleekie, and he had come
to the concluding prayer, where we
pray for all and sundries (sic), when
he suddenly remembered that he had
forgotten to pray for the magistrates
So he put in the prayer just where he
was, Have mercy upon all fools and
idiots and specially upon the magis-
trates of Drumsleekie.' He meant no
evil, but the magistrates were not
pleased. Magazine.

of her own age as among women who
not many years ago would have been

WORK IN TWO COUNTRIES.
Italians Cross the Sea Each Year ia
Harvest in Argentina.

Thousands of Italian laborers are
able to work every year in the wheat
harvest both Of Italy and Argentina
and make good wages by SO doing.
The fact has often been mentioned
that in one or another part of the
world the harvest of wheat is in prog
ress every month in the year. Argen-
tina, being in the southern hemis-
phere, reaps its wheat several months
after our crop has been gathered and
most of it sold.
The Italian harvest begins in May,
including not only wheat but other
cereals and also hay. So the Italian
field hands are busy from May
through the summer months. After
the hard summer work at home is

The wall in front Of Glasgow
(Scotland) cathedral is built almost
entirely of tombstones.
In Switzerland the law protecting
rare plants is so strict that to be
found in possession Of specimens il
legitimately collected is a penal Of
fense.
One thousand pounds was paid the
other day in London by an orchid
collector for a plant that originally
cost the importer Is Cd. 1t had de-
veloped uncommon blood-red mark

While the population of Scotland
has increased so per cent. since 1858,
the number of lunatics has increased
1856 per cent. On January Of this
year there were 1868 insane per-
sons in Scotland.
A big arm, with fine biceps, triceps
and deltoid development, may be very
pretty to look at, but such arms have
ofttimes cost their owners their lives
throue 1 enlargement Of internal or
gans incident to their development.
Prof. Bobroff, Of Moscow, has sue
ceeded in extracting bullet from
the brain of a girl who was accident
ally shot 13 years ago. She suffered
during that time from sick head
aches, but is now free from them
and shows signs of complete recov-
cry.
Switzerland has "healer" named
Antonius, who has an institution at
Immense, and who for the sum Of 5
cents to $50 pretends not only to
cure diseases, but is consulted by
peasants whose COWS do not give
milk, students who are afraid of their
examinations, house owners who are
afraid they will not get their rent,
etc.
Some flowers appear to change their
scents at different times. The com
mon jasmine flowers, when first
opened, have delicate fresh perfume
which, after a time, becomes crossed
and attracts bluebottle flies. Mr.. j.
O'Brien draws attention to flowers of
the orchid odontoglossum hebraicum,
which have a cinnamon fragrance and
a hawthorn scent at different periods
of their bloom.

Canine Mourners.

A strange test was witnessed in a
funeral procession in South London.
The remains of an old Lambeth dog
fancier were being conveyed along
Kensington road to footing for in
terment. Behind the cortege came
six dogs-three retrievers and three
bulldogs gs-craped with black, while
over their backs were coats inscribed:

over thousands of them buy steerage
tickets for Buenos Ayres, which cost
only about $40 or $12 in United
States currency.
The harvesting and other hard
farm work of Argentina begins in
November and ends in March. About
$4,000 Italians make this journey to
Argentina every year, and after the
harvest season is over they return
home all ready for the harvest on the
Lombardy plains.
The fact that SO many Italians 60
over to Argentina only to remain
during the harvest season helps, says
the New York Sun, to swell the
statistics both of Argentine immigra-
ton and emigration. In the 10years
ending in 1902, 8O8,175 immigrants
were recorded as entering Argentina;
these figures, however, are somewhat
misleading, for they include many
thousands of Italians who crossed the
ocean merely to work in the harvest
| fields.
In the same 10 years there is
record of 382,572 emigrants from
Argentina. These figures suggest
the idea that the emigrants must
have found something undesirable in
Argentina and so returned to their
fatherland, the fact being, however,
that about third Of this emigration
is accounted for by the Italian farm
hands who 60 home to do their usual
summer work in Italy.
Most Of the immigrants who set
tie in Argentina are Italians. A re-
cent lecturer before the American
Geographical society said that the
Italians in Argentina are superior in
every way tolthe Italians who have
come to this country.
This is true, but at the same time it
is no reflection upon the class Of
Italian laborers who come here, for
they are very industrious and we'll
meaning people. They come, how
ever, for the most part from the
mountainous regions Of the Italian
peninsula, where they have been
scarcely able to procure bread for
their families; while on the other
hand practically all the Italian i'm
migrants into Argentina are from the
great Lombardy plain Of the extreme
north of Italy, where work is abun-
dant, wages are better than further
south and the farmers are more pros
porous, accustomed to better food,
eTjoying some educational advan-
tagesand living under conditions that
have developed, on the whole, more
energy and intelligence.
Havingworked on well-tilled farms
all their lives, they follow the same
occupation in their new home, while
most of the Italians who come to us
are laborers in the cities or on the
railroads.
