A Weed Seed Collection.

At a street fair that the writer at
tended last fall one of the most unique
and interesting exhibits made was
that of a collection of weed, grain and
other seeds which was entered by a
16-year-old schoolboy. A talk with
the young man who had so laboriously
collected, classified and labeled the ex-
hibit disclosed the fact that he had
gotten the idea from an agricultural
publication which had endeavored to
teach the Identification of seed by IL
lustration. He had concluded to i'm
prove on this by Tearing from the ac-
tual seeds and he had succeeded ad-
mirably. He informed us that he
could examine the grass seeds that
are usually contaminated by weed seed
and identify and name every impurl-
ty that he finds in them. This Is an
idea that might be taken advantage of
with benefit by not only the boys and
girls on the farm, but also those of
older growth. 1t is not only q rrac-
teal study of botany which will be in
teresting to pursue, but 1t will be of
great practical benefit. The man VINO
can examine the various clovers and
learn to what extent they are mixed
with weeds is only one in thousand
and his knowledge will be the means
of saving his pocket-book from deple-
ton without proper returns and his
land from becoming foul from weeds

A Yankee Notion.

Every reader must have seen the
large steel squares used by carpenters
in their work, but | doubt If many
know when they were first made, or
how they came to be used. The max
ing of these steel squares Is great
industry now, but when the 18th cen
tury began there was not one in use.
The inventor was a poor Vermont
blacksmith, whose name was Silas
Hawes. He was poor, and had large
family, and it was hard to keep the
wolf from the door.
One dull, rainy day, a tin-peddler
called at his shop to have the black
smith fasten shoe on his horse.
These peddlers travelled up and down
the country, calling at every farm
house, and buying everything in the
way Of barter. This peddler had
number of worn out steel saws on his
cart, and the blacksmith saw them.
He bargained for them, shoelng the
peddler's horse and receiving the
saws in payment,
Hawes had an idea, and as it proved
1t was a happy one. 1t was to polish
and weld two saws together at right
angles, and thus make q rule or meas
ure superior to anything then in use.
After few attempts he succeeded in
making q Square" marked 1t off into
inches and fractions of inches, and
found it answered all the purposes
for which he had intended it.
Within q few weeks he had made
number in his spare hours. These
he sent out by peddlers, who found
every carpenter eager to buy one
Soon he found orders coming in faster
than he could fill them. One of his
steel squares would sell for SO or ST.
which was much more than 1t cost
him. He applied for and obtained q
patent on his invention SO that no one
else would deprive him of the profit
But Silas worked early and late, and
as he earned money he bought iron
which he manufactured into steel, and
he hired men to help him. In few
years he was able to erect a large fac
tory, and put in machinery for the
making Of squares, which by this time
had found their way into every town
and city in the country.
Such was the small beginning of a
large and important industry. People
came miles to SEQ the wonderful
forges, the showers of sparks flying
from the heavy hammers, and to listen
to the din of 1000 workmen. And it
all came about from thoughtful
mans seeing few old worn out saws
in the peddler's wagon.-Our Young
Folks.

Sacred Bird of Guatemala.

In the tall and dreamy forests that
clothe the backbone of Central Ameri-
ca there fit the most beautiful birds
In the world. And the most beautiful
Of them is the quezal.
No one who has ever seen one OF
these wonderful creatures would dream
of being able to convey more than a
pale hint of their beauty.
The quezal is small bird, not larg-
or than wild dove. 1t has a head
dress that Is exactly like an antique
helmet in shape. A flashing golden
green plays over 1t.
The plumage OF the body does not
lie in orderly rows, feather fitting into
feather, as in most birds. Instead,
beautiful plumes lie in bold waves and
overhang the body. These immense
feathers can hardly be said to be col
ored. They are rather like jewels. for

But my tears are as sweet as the dew-drops
That fall on the roses In May
And my prayer, like u perfume from Censsrs

dream all the songs that sing;
And the music floats down the dim Valley
Till each finds n word for wing,
That to hearts. like the Dove OF the Deluge
message Of Peace they may bring.
And have seen Thoughts In the Valley
Ahl me, how my spirit was stirred
And they wear holy wells on their faces,
Their footsteps can scarcely be heard;
They pass through the Valley like Virgins,
Too pure for the touch of word
Do you ask me tho place OF the Valley,

And God and His angels are there;
And one Ia the dark mount OF Sorrow,
And one the bright mountain OF Prayer.
