sTARLINos TO FIGHT TICKS.
Insects from South America Have Be.
come a Nuisance In Jamaica.

An interesting experiment in natur-
aliZation is now under trial in the
country districts of Jamaica, where
the plant-ticks first introduced about
80 years ago with cattle from South
America have multiplied till they have
become an almost intolerable pest.
A number of ordinary English star
lings have been introduced into the
island, in the hope that they may so
far retain their native tastes as to
take kindly to the task of destroying
these omnipresent and repulsive crea.
lures, which in a comparatively few
years have made the forests and pas
lures of the island almost impossible.
II will be curious to see how the
starlings fall In with their introducers'
expectations, and how far they sue
coed in making an impression on the
nuisance they are intended to combat
1t is never possible to predict with
any certainty how any foreign species,
whether animal or vegetable. will get
on when suddenly transplanted into
wholly new surroundings. - Country

REVIVAL OF THE STONE AGE.
Much Of That Material Now Used il
London BUILDING.

The "stone age" Is fast reviving in
London, though in more welcome
form than that of old. There is a
growing tendency to spend money
more freely on business premises, and
consequently architects, generally
speaking, are enjoying more scope in
designing structures with imposing
elevations. To obtain the most hand
some effect white stone has become
the favorite and wherever monetary
considerations will permit this is al
most universally stipulated for In
specifications.
IF this liberality continues" said n
prominent contractor London will
within a comparatively short period
become the finest city in the world,
INTELLECTUALLY speaking. At the pres
ent time two-thirds of the contracts
In our hands specify for the use of
stone frontages."

Don't Look for the Flaws.

Don't look for flaws as you go through
life:
And even when you find them
1t IL wise and kind to be somewhat blind,
And look for the virtue behind them.
For the cloudiest night has a hint of the
light
Somewhere in its shadows hiding:
1t IL better far to hunt for a star
Than the spots on the sun abiding.
The current of life runs every way
To the bosom OF Gods great ocean.
Don't set your force 'gainst the rivers
course
And think to alter its motion.
Don't waste a curse on the universe.
Remember 1t lived before you:
Don't butt at the storm with your puny
form.
But bend, let 1t fly Ger you.
The world will never adjust itself
TO suit your whim to the letter,
Some things must go wrong your whole
life long.
And the sooner you know II the better.
IL Is folly to fight with the Infinite,
And go under at last In the wrestle.
The wiser man shapes into Gods plan,
As the water shapes into the vessel

An incident that, if amusing, illus
trates the thrift of a certain housewife
and deserves more than passing notice,
was gathered from Randolph, lately.
1t seems, to begin the narrative, that
one of the residents of that town is the
Joint manager, with his good wife, Of
a vegetable garden that is the pride of
the household and which, in spite of
the handicap experienced in the spring
in getting the stuff started, is yield
ing an excellent crop of eatableS
After the garden was planted and was
fairly started quite space was left
that remained unseeded. end to occupy
this space the husband planted some
potatoes, intending to have large
supply. AS there was some doubt as
to the potatoes being successful in
growth on account of their setting in
the shed beside the kerosene can, the
man did not take the usual time and
threw whole potatoe in each hill
without cutting it. The planting was
finished and meanwhile until the point
of the story comes, the crop that was
first sown had grown and been dug to
supply the demands of the table. One
day this week the husband neglected
the usual custom of digging the pota-
toes for the noon meal, and in his
hurry to get about his days work left
the house. AS dinner time drew near
the wife noted the negligence and took
upon herself to go to the garden and
dig the desired number for dinner.
This she did and in time her partner in
life returned for dinner and his wife
remarked that the potatoes seemed a
long time in cooking. The husband, in
his haste for his meal, asked where the
vegetables came from and got the
reply that she dug them and that they
were found only in one hill but that
| they We're nice big ones The husband
| was taken to the garden patch and
| shown from where they were taken,
which was the place in which the
whole potatoes were planted only two
weeks ago.

beginning several years after the
present Central Street Grammer school
building was erected (about II years
ago) the custom was started by one OF
the graduating classes of the school OF
planting, on Arbor day, a class tree and
at the roots of the tree planted was
placed a box containing a paper on
which were written the names of the
Graduates This custom was followed
until only a few years ago, when the
lack of more space in which to place the
trees brought the custom to an end
The result, as seen at the present time
is one that is appreciated from the
added appearance to the school grounds
by the row of about a dozen beautiful
young maple trees that grows on each
side of the wide walk to the entrance Of
the building. The trees are now about
of a size from the reason that as the
wears went on larger trees were placed
in the ground so that as they grew the
difference in their size would not be so
noticeable No trees or foliage of any
beauty grew on the school grounds be-
fore the trees in question were planted
but now, the appearance of the grounds
is such as to reflect credit on the city
and on the class that started the Gus
tom, and each person whose name was
placed at the foot of the trees should
take a Just pride in the final result.
