Nathaniel Bird a book dealer. who

for sale as early as 1866. and garden
seeds in l77G However, Boston was
the chief seed mart OF the United
States during the early days, and
there were in business at the Hub

who handled seeds exclusively or in
conjunction with other commodities
Prior TO 1900 practically all the seeds
sold in the United States we're i'm

With the dawn of the new century.
however, the seed industry began to
assume proportions that justified the
raising of the seeds nearer home
From that time forward the city OF
Philadelphia began to gain recognition
as the center of the American seed
industry and one OF the pioneers in
the trade was Bernard Mcmahon
"seodman and author" who became
well known not only in Philadelphia,
but throughout the country. During
the next quarter of a century rather
pretentiOus seed establishments came
into existence in Baltimore. Charles, !

ture of the trade at that time was a
demand for Shakers
seeds. These seeds were not only +
sold at the regular seed houses. but /
were also peddled about the country /
in Shakers wagons,

Toad supsr.tition..

superstitions as. to itso5adGds; 16Mavs4sE1Sss1
early i%nculcated, sit has been. exceed
ingly difficult to get rid Of them. One
remnant Of this ancient credulity still
exists. 1t is in regard to the absolute
imperishable character of the toad
There are well educated Americans
who believe that a toad hops out alive
from a slab Of stone though he has
been imprisoned there for several mill
lions Of years. We give in brief Dr.,
Buckland's experiments with. toads in
1926. He took twelve. toads and had
the toads put in twelve cells cut in
sandstone, and I've these he put plates
Of glass. They were buried in a gar
den for over a year. When exhumed
they were all dead. Then some were
put in porous sandstone, and at the
end Of, year a few were found great
~ emaciated." When buried for an
other year, they I'LL died. Toads were
inclosed in wood, and they al died.
The conclusion is that, deprived of at
mosphere or without food, toads must
die. If. q toad as a tadpole could have
entered a crevice in a rock, it might
have grown, but would have. died In
time for want of air and food. This
toad nonsense is so ineradicable that IT
is supposable 1t never can be dissi-
pated. y

he was walking, down the street a
beautiful lady took him by the hand
and conducted him into a house close

fattering himself that this adventure
could not possibly entail, any unpleas-

strength to offer any resistance. His
fair captor introduced him to the mas

Pellisson, on recovering from his as

COLLINS.

Everybody has enjoyed the tine
weather and sunshine in this part of the
country for the past month.
1t is hoped that Miss Jennie Collins,
who has been seriously ill for several
days, will be able to return to her home
soon.
A small party gathered at the Collins
home last week Thursday evening and
enjoyed a most sociable time.
A young man in this vicinity recently
left a team standing in yard with a
young calf tied behind the sleigh. The
horses became frightened at the calf and
ran away, dragging the calf for a mile
and a half. The poor animal survived
the ordeal and came out at the end of its
journey with nothing more serious than
a lame neck.
Martin Leslie returned to his claim
last week after a visit in Gladstone.
