SAME E0THERSOME WEEDS
Pests to the Aborigines Continue to Be
an Annoyance to Farmers Now
TiIling the Soil.

When Samuel Champlain earned the
gratitude of succeeding generations by
keeping a journal as he sailed along
the coast from the mouth Of the st.
Lawrence to Cape Ann he recorded,
among other things, the appearance
of the fields which the Indian women
cultivated not far from the site of the
present town of Gloucester. Mass. He
described, relates a writer, the hoes
used by them, made from the shells Of
the horseshoe crab, creature which
interested him greatly, and he also told
of the weeds which these women
grubbed up with their primitive hoes,
thus saving their corn, beans and
sQuashes.
Among the weeds he mentioned es-
pecially the purslane Of which he saw
enough and. If he could come back to-
day andsinspect the gardens along the
Massachusetts shore he would find the
same weeds 1ourishing in the same old
way and holding their own against the
most modern of farm implements.
More than that 1t would not be sur
prising if he found fields in which the
weeds had gained the upper hand and
had smOthered the planted crop,
whether of beans squash or corn, and
he could we'll be pardOned If he Won
dered that agriculture, after more than
300 years, was still helpless against
the weeds which he had fought In his
day.

PET SAVED SOLDIERS LIFE
Effective "First Aid" Rendered by Cat
When Its Owner Was Wounded
During Crimean War.

During the Crimean war q French
soldier was leaving his native village
with his corps, when a little cat came
running after him. It would not 20
back, SO he put it on his knapsack and
carried it along. Day by day, writes
Arthur Broadley in the Evangelical
Messenger, she was perched up thus,
and every night slept by his side.
One day great battle was to be
fought, so the soldier left pussy be-
hind with a sick cOmrade. After he
had gone about mile on the way the
cat came running up to him, so he took
1t on his back again. Musket and can
non balls were now flying around.
The soldier fell twice, but at last a
dreadful wound laid him bleeding on
the field.
The cat, instead Of running away,
jumped to the place where the blood
was flowing, and began to lick the
wound. The army doctor came, and
the lad was carried to the hospital
tent.
When he recovered consciousness he
asked whether he would live or not,
and the doctor said: Eyes, thanks to
your pussy; she has used her tongue
well and has stopped the flow of
blood, otherwise you would have died."

Sponge Is a Germ Carrier.

Along with many other unsanitary
toilet articles, the sponge is going out
Of fashion. But people may be still
found who consider it Indispensable.
They have overlooked the fact that
the sponge is porous and that every
pore becomes hiding place for untold
colonies of germs. You cannot boil
a sponge for any length of time, there
fore you cannot insure it's absolute
hygienic cleanliness. AS the germs
multiply, a peculiar musty odor be-
comes noticeable.
When one bathes, many particles Of
dead skin are thrown from the body.
If sponge is used quantities of these
dead particles collect in the pores of
the sponge and will remain there even
after considerable rinsing. If sponge
were examined under a microscope
one would be Mortified at the picture
it would present.-Marianna Wheeler
In the Peoples Home Journal.
