Song of the Native Born.

The onion was born in Egypt.
The potato in far Peru
Celery came from Germany,
AS few other good things do;
Cabbage first grew in Liberia,
The radish in quaint Japan.
And the cucumber got its coiicky start
At the bands of the Hindoo man.
The garden cress is from Egypt,
And some more of the far-off east,
And we judge from the things they've
been raising.
South America first planted yeast;
the parsnip first grew in Arabia.
The tobacco in our own land,
Sardinia first raised the parsley plant
And America corned beef canned.

cities, in Copenhagen, in Stockholm, in
Christiania, is skating q sport; and
even there, so modern is it, the young
er generation alone knows how to
skate. The fact dazed me a bit when
it was brought home to me few years
meaning three-ago. 1t turned all
my preconceived ideas upside-down,
and stood them on their heads. And
yet it is not inexplicable. Winter
months in Norway and Sweden are
largely indoor months. October is al

Der are horribly gloomy, with their
short sombre days and the persistent
humid cold Not until Christmas does
the sun come back. Then AL the
world changes-blue sky and the
white of the snow and the diamonds

a little while the out-of-door sports
hold sway. Above all, skating Your

joyously. He has made himself an

the sport. He has decorated it. Over

DR.. George A. Ferris, who lived in

they went to Texas to escape trial. DR..
Ferris was a distinguished physician,
and one of the most courteous gentle
Ilen of the old school. He loved a

race horse than any one | ever knew
A thoroughbred to him was a horse Of
endurance and bottom. There were

tracks in Texas In every county there

was rivalry between the counties as

count Everything was in the start
with two evenly matched horses. To
get the advantage great deal of bick-

ended in fight, with one or more

contempt for quarter race-which
depended upon the start, and not In the

town will cause some expense in the way
OF paying interest on the money during
the lives OF myself and my wife. If she
survives me- and the maintenance of the

TO appropriate money for the support OF
the libraries at Riverside and East Provi-
