Weed to Kill German Crops.

Paris, July 26.-It might have been thought that nothing new remained to be attempted in aerial warfare, but the French Aviation authorities are considering an idea, first suggested by the celebrated pilot Vedrines, of throwing seeds of that troublesome weed, couch-grass, (known to farm CTS as squitch or quitch,) over the cultivated land in Germany.
 It is asserted that it would be an easy matter for an aeroplane to carry 500 pounds of the seed and let it fall on fields where corn, beet. or potatoes are planted and that, if a supply is not available, scientists would not take long to raise it in sufficient quantity to send a thousand of the aeroplanes which France is

The Sigels of '48, '61-'65 and '17.
 (New York Herald.)

We fight init Sigel!" was the proud war cry of hundreds of men of Ger man birth and lineage who battled valiantly under Franz Sigel in the Civil war. That cry was vocal badge of honor in which Sigel and his fellows who fled from Germany after fruitless fight for liberty found great glory and even today, after lapse of half a century, the descendants of these valiant men, many of whom sealed their allegiance to their adopted country with their lives, cherish above all other things the memory of the patriotic achieve ments of the liberty loving Germans of AS who became the stanch liberty enjoying Americans of '61165.
 Every American, and especially those of German extraction whose an- cestors fought init Sigel,'' will feel a thrill of pride over the patriotic conduct of Sigers daughter and a grandson, who was selected for the National Army. Although the young man is supporting the mother she thinks she "can manage if her boy goes to war His grandfather fought for Lincoln and Liberty. and it is right that he should do his share in the new fight for freedom" Sparta never had a braver mother nor more patriotic son. > There may be and indisputably are traitors among the Germans in America, men who have not yet discovered what Ameri- ca is or stands for. There are Kaiser loving editors of German language newspapers in this country in whose veins courses a black stream of pol lution like that which for three years has been pumped out of Berlin to poison and to kill. But vile and nau- seous as are the acts of those rep tilian agents of the disgraced and dishonored government of Berlin. the vast majority of Americans of Ger man lineage are as right in mind and as sound in heart as this daughter and grandson of the great lover of liberty, the great foe of autocracy whose name will sound in the war cry, we fight init Sigel!" as long as liberty stirs the hearts and desires of man.

Too Steady.

The northern born foreman of a construction crew in the south posted a notice saying he wanted day labor CTS. The only response was in the person of a languid looking colored man who appeared at the door of the work shanty, hat in hand, and stated that he would not be altogether averse to accepting employment. First though, he made so bold as to inquire concerning the nature of the work.
 Do you want good regular job steady work, day in and day out, with steady pay?" snapped the northerner.
 The visitor backed away.
 NO, suh, not eff I kin git anything else to do,' he stated.

Have Some Tea, Old Dear?

London, Aug. 2.-"Has it been noticed that since the anti-treating g epoch and since alcoholic liquor came to vanishing point men invite one an- other to cups of tea and get quite feverish over their potations' asks the Daily Express. "Yesterday af- ternoon an actor who is resting con- fessed that he had consumed nine cups of tea since breakfast time. They had certainly changed his condition.
 He was terribly restless. Glittering eyes, rapid, nonsensical voluminous talk, high temperature, an uncertain temper, f1uctuating pulse, hands nervously clenched-all these are the signs and tokens of tea drunkeness." ,"
