Why Timothy Grass Is So Called.
The forage grass known to the farm

so called because first introduced and

by one Timothy Hanson, d farmer Of
Maryland. This species Of grass is

western continental Europe, where it
Is grown extensively by most farmers
between the Mediterranean and the
North seas. The botanical name Of this
grass is Phleum pratense. Timothy is
known in the British isles as cats tail

states as herd, or herds. grass. 1t was
grown In large quantities In Maryland
and Pennsylvania long before spear
Of it had ever been seen in England,

HENRY BELLS COMET.

The First Steamer That Piled For
Hire In Great Britain.
Among the curiosities of advertising
may surely be placed the first adj
vertisement Of the first steamer that
piled for hire in Great Britain-namely,
Henry Bells Comet. Thus ran the ad-
vertisement in the Glasgow Courier of
1872:
Steam passage boat, the Comet, be-
tween Glasgow, Greenock and Helens-
burg. For passengers only. The sub
scriber having at much expense fitted
up handsome vessel to ply upon the
river Clyde between Glasgow and
Greenock-to sail by the power Of
wind, air and steam--he intends that
the vessel shall leave the Broomielaw
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur-
days about midday or at such time
thereafter as may answer from the
state of the tide and to leave Greenock
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays
In the morning to suit the tide. The
elegance, comfort safety and speed
Of this vessel require only to be proved
to meet the appreciation of the public,
and the proprietor Is determined to do
everything in his power to merit public
encouragement. The terms are for the
present shillings for the best cabin
and shillings for the second, but be-
yond these rates nothing is to be al
lowed to servants or any other person
employed about the vessel"
What would poor neglected Henry
Bell have said could he have seen his
humble little Comet, Of whose elegance,
comfort and speed he was SO proud,
alongside modern ocean racer or one
OF the latest palatial river steamers Of
the Clyde or Thames, all so we'll ad-
vertised ?-Chambers' Journal.

The "1f" L. Rather Important.

Here's something that may save
your life when a bull gets after you:
When bull charges, just before the
final lurch he shuts his eyes, and If
you have the presence Of mind to
stand stock still until he is about two
or three feet from you all you have to
do is to step aside, and he misses you.
Any child with sufficient presence Of
mind to do this can let a bull charge
all day with perfect safety. This is
not a new thing, as it Is one Of the &C.
crets Of the bullaghter in the coun-
tries where the sport is practiced. The
bullfghters say that COW does not
do this, and they would never try any
such tricks with mad COW.
