Killing Weeds With Paper.

The apparent success of the Eckart process in cultivating sugar cane has been the subject of much discussion, according to the Tech Engineering News, since experiments on large areas have indicated that the cost of growing the cane can he reduced from 50 to 70 per cent and the crop in- creased by ten tons an acre, which is equivalent to one ton of raw sugar. After the field has heen planted It Is covered with peculiar asphalt papyr that will withstand six weeks of weather and that at the same time is soft enough to allow the sharp grow ing points of the sugar cane to break through. The cane grows more wig orously and the weed seeds sprout at once, but the weeds are quickly blanched and withered by the black covering. The paper Is made by cook ing pulp for 12 hours with lime under pressure and then after a few days running it out on the paper machine and treating it with asphalt.

Singular Custom.

It is a custom in Berwickshire, Eng land, and other parts of Great Brit ain, among women workers in the field, when their backs become much tired by lowing low down while singling turnips with short-shanked hoes, to lie down. with their faces to the ground, allowing others to step across the low CT part of their backs, on the lumbar region, with one foot. several times until the pain of fatigue is removed.
 Burton, in his First Footsteps in East Africa" narrates a very similar custom in females who lead the camels, on feeling fatigued, and who "lie at full length, prone. stand upon each oth- ers back, trampiing and kneading, with their toes, and rise like giants re- freshed.p This custom is called "Jog- si' in Africa; in England 1t Is straight sning the back" ,i1s ,. h

Glass Flowers.

Before very long. instead of bouquets of flowers being presented to ladies upon occasions of ceremony, 1t will be- come the custom to present bouquets of glass. Glass flowers for table deco ration are becoming more and more popular, for, while the necessary bril- liance of coloring can be embodied in
 these glass flowers. they do not fade as do real flowers, and, therefore, do not need renewing unless a breakage
 occurs. An extension to the use of glass bouquets is only a step. Not only Is glass extending its use from the decorative point of view, but 1t is also finding wider. scope. The very latest use to which glass has been put Is in
 the manufacture of baths of colored glass, which will harmonize with the scheme of decoration favored in. the bathroom Sr a1 t' @-f. ..o a. tr +"r

Japanese Eaoer for Education.

School days have commenced again in Tokio and 1t is more noticeable than ever how inadequately the country is provided with institutions of higher learning. Waseda Is said to have re- ceived eighteen hundred applications for which there are 15o places in one of the higher courses. They have over three thousand applications each for several of the departments in prepara- tory courses where there are places for about one hundred. Keio has three thousand applications, excluding the. medical college. and other educational institutions, such as Meiti university, Chuo university, and Nihon university, all have the same story.

Mark Twain's EnuIlsh.

There is a superstition among those who have been educated beyond their intelligence that no man can be mas ter of English, who does not possess Latin at least, and perhaps French also. But this absurdity is exploded by the vital vigor of Bunyan and De foe, not less than by that of Franklin and Lincoln. Grant and Mark Twain. And the vitality of Marks English was a gainer also by the fact that to him English was always spoken tongue {; he wrote as he talked; but then The of words when he talked as when he wrote, Brander Matthews writes in liar per's. He imparted to the printed page the vivacity of the spoken word, its swiftness, and Its apparently un- premeditated ease. His sentences, never seem labored, no matter how deeply they have been meditated. In reading them they appear spontane- ous; and, whatever the toll they may have cost him, they are not stained with the smoke of the casting or scratched with the mark of the file. Self-taught as he was, no apprentice to the craft of composition ever had a severer teacher. He so mastered the secrets of our stubborn tongue that he was able to write 1t as he spoke 1t, with precise accuracy and yet with flowing freedom.

Church Rells Peculiar Meaning.

In a Wiltshire (Eng) village when . young person died unmarried wedding peals, with muffied bells, were rung ius- mediately after the burial. There en- isted in the parishes Of Rutland custom of ringing the gleaner's bell in every church at eight or nine in the morning during harvest time, which meant that women and children might go into the fields to glean. The bell was again sounded at five or six, the hours when no more gleaning was to be done. A church bell is usually rung in old English towns after cor oner's inquest. At Goddington, Oxford shire, there exists custom of ringing the church bell after a coroner's in- quest certifying to the actual death of some person in the parish.

Walter s c O t t's

Walter s c O t t's education as a TO- nance writer be- gan while he was a child. 1t can be traced even to his cradle, for he was sung to sleep not with lullabies but with the. Hitting songs of the exiled Stuarts. As soon as he could un- derstand stories, his grandmother and aunt poured into his eager ears tales of border warfnre and old scottish ballads.
 He was a sick Iy child, and this resulted in . per- vvS mw &uH Iawysem NMm.
