Cheat is Not aCaange of Wheat

Cheat is Not aCaange of Wheat
and Oats;
TIL. growth of cheat among
wheat and oats, especially where
he latter was thinned by very
severe cold of winter, has been
much more general this year than
usual. So perfect has been the
stand in some place that many
farmers have been constrained to
believe that it was not a separate
and distinct plant but growth
resulting from the deterioration
of the wheat and oats.
MIR. Walter Marsh, one of the
most prosperous young farmers Of
the Tren ,on section, had a small
piece of ground upon which cheat
grew as thick and regular as if it
had been sown. He sent a sample
Of it to the Georgia Experiment
Station, at Griffin, asking for
whatever information they could
give concerning it. We have be-
fore US the letter which he recelv-
ed from the director, who states
that it is d grass that infosts grain
and that il is not the result OF a
change of wheat or oats. le says
further that the seed are already
in the ground or are soan with
the grain. 1t makes a fairly good
light hay when cut at the proper
state. The letter to Mr.. Marsh
states that cheat is the sane
graes that is being sold as Arctic"
grass.

odds and Ends of Paper.

Little do housekeepers realize the money that is being made from the odds and ends that are daily being dis carded as trash and as such arc thrown out, to be carried away by the ashmen or the ragpickers who gener- ally precede them on their rounds. Some interesting information was fur nished in this line a few days ago by manufacturer of cardboard for paper boxes in this city His firm pur. chases old paper of every description in large quantities, not only here but in Washington, Brooklyn, New York, Trenton and other cities.
 From the various branches of the Salvation Army" he said i've get the best waste paper The general public is only too glad to give its representa- lives the old papers when they call. The result is that they collect tons and tons of it in month. Why, only few days ago I sent to the Salvation Army at Brooklyn a check for more than $1,OOO, which will bring their re- ccipts for the month up to $S,000. They will average from the sale of old newspapers $1OO,00O year. It is nearly all clear money, too, for, unlike the other dealers, they get all their papers for nothing.
 "They are entirely honest, too, but the same cannot be said for all the parties we deal with, for the assort. ment of articles we find in their bags includes anything from a dead baby to a tombstone. A ton of paper will hold almost ton of water without showing it, and we have some warm arguments with dealers when they find we have docked them for selling us wet paper" r."-Philadelphia Press.

TIBET LITTLE KNOWN.
Closed Land Possesses Great Fasci-
 nation for Explorers.

HdtiOH IOT LAPiOTCIcs
 Tibet Is the least known region on the habitable globe, though teeming with features of interest for the scien- tist, the ethnologist and the student of aboriginal mankind in general, says the Booklovers Magazine. For many years this great closed land" has pos sessed extraordinary fascination for travellers and explorers, but the we'll nigh insurmountable physical barriers and the barbarous hostility of the Ti- betans have often frustrated the most indomitable and persevering explorers.
 Forming a high tableland almost in the very center of the Asiatic conti- nent, thousands of feet above the sea level, surrounded on all sides by moun- tain ranges among the highest in the world, and covered throughout it's whole extent with appalling deserts, vast salt-swamps and immense ice-cOv- cred plains, Tibet is not land which would attract the traveller in search of beauties of landscape. When one udS IIdNeleQ tuIOuSu ltS ullu Niiuo thC impression left on memory is that of combined Saharan desert and antarc- tic ice plain. Never tree is seen, and scarcely a flower, except for few months in the year. Mountains cover- ed with soil, which, by thrift and in- dustry, might be made productive, are left in their wild state for the growth of coarse grasses, furnishing scanty pasturage for the small herds of scrawny cattle. More favored regions are inhabited by small herds of wild asses, antelopes and yak, affording subsistence to a sinister and uncouth population.
 The sterility of the landscape is re- fected in the natives. It would be impossible to imagine people more unenlightened and barbarous. No spark of civilization has yet made itself felt.
