trade are increasing yearly, and The en-
terprise displayed y those 10 charge OF
these houses is meeting with well
merited encouragement.
Yesterday reference was made 70 the
well-known establishment OF ID. BEND

which deserve similar notice.
Swan Bros, whose enterprise and
business instincts entitle them to posi-
ton in the front rank, opened mann
moth and weli-selected stock OF tall and
winter dry goods yesterday. The dis
play continued today and will run viz
tually through the week. This we'll
known store has been visited by large
numbers. g..
Rosenfelds dry goods store is fast be-
coming an Alexandria institution. .Ihe
business is conducted 10 building used
for the dry goods trade during the past
half of century, and is one OF the best,
known stands in the city. Patrons OF
this house are always assured OF satIsfac-
tory goods at prices which will compare
favorabiy with those prevailing else
where.
The GoodIoe Company, located at the
northeast corner OF King and Pitt streets,

sixty Thousand seeds to the Plan

The common purslane is one Of the
wonders of botany as far as seeds are
concerned. A single seed Of this plant
will produce about twenty seed pods
in u season. The average number OF
seeds IN each of these, by actual count,
is 5000, making 10000 in all. AS far
as we have been able TO learn there Is
no instance OF similar fruitfulness In
any plant found growing in this coun-
try. A single plant Of either the James
town weed C'jimson'O, the butterweed,
the ragweed and some Of the yerYlnes
produce an enormous number Of seeds.
but it is doubtful If any one of them
produces one-fourth as many In a year
as the purslane does.-St. Louis Re-
