One of the most noticeable results of the invasion is shown in the introduc tion of flax trowing on a large scale. The Canadians thought it unwise to at tempt the cultivation of that train, as they believed it hard on the land and a great protector of weeds. But the Americans have proved to the contrary. and with land selling at $12 an acre and yielding an average of 15 bushels to the acre of flax the newly-bought farms have paid for themselves during the very first year.

" Dear Mrs. Pink ham : I was married for five years and gave birth to two pre mature children. After that I took Lydia E.

With in two years a lovely little girl was born, who is the pride and joy of my household. If every woman who is cured feels as grateful and happy as I do, you must have a host of friends, for every day I bless you for the light, health and happi ness Lydia E.

An expert nurseryman says the hardi ness or non-hardinees of trees depends largely upon where the seeds from which the trees in question sprang came from. Satisfactory results are seldom experienced by planting a seed obtained from the sunny south, say. By planting seeds gradually further north, however. trees may be at length hardened and ac climated until a seed from such a tree may be reasonably expected to thrive and mature Its fruits. Trees, like people, says the Philadel phia Record, acquire their habits from the climate in which they live. The northern tree knows instinctively when the time has come to ripen its fruits. The southern tree follows the same in habit A little bug, almost too small for indi vidual notice, is taking up the time of several great states, and has even caused the Indiana legislature to be called into special session. This little boll weevil, says the Baltimore Sun, seems a very small matter to the people of the coun try at large, but to cotton growers its coming is fraught with prodigious evil. For years it has been the boast of Tex as that she could raise cotton enough to supply the world, and she did appear to be satisfied with raising about a third of all the American staple. But this li tp weevil crawled across the border from Mexico and has swept the cotton fields like a pestilence. Each year the domain of the weevil Is spreading, and Its kind Is multiplying by billions. No effective means has yet been found to check the spread of the pest, and the en tire cotton belt is alarmed. The Louisiana special commission has Through Palace and Tourist Sleepers, recommended to the legislature that a Dining and Buffet Smoking Library Cars iion-cou.on growing Deit dp created TICKETS TO AND FROM ALL POINTS EAST VIA . GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY LINE SHORT TO ST. PAUL, DULUTH, MINNEAPOLIS, CHICAGO And Points East. between that state and Texas, by which it is expected to starve out the weevil and stay Its further procrers northward. Alrendy the loss by thi3 insect is prob ably $25,000,000, and experts of the na tional and state government are doing everything in their power to devlae some means to check this Texas terror.

In Bermuda They Couldn't dispose of Plunder If They Stole An Idyllic Community. Traffic on Broadway was almost blocked for a few moments the other afternoon by the actions of two wom en, who went through what was evi dently a superstitions rite which no one but themselves could understand. The women were middle aged, the New York Herald states, arri beyond reproach in appearance, and no one noticed them, as they crossed Herald square; but mid way of the Thirty-fifth er.d Thirty-sixth street block they paused, turned back and together retraced their footsteps for a short dist?.nco, eair.T steadily at the ground a3 though they had lost .cnn:r thing. When they had gcr.e a few yards they stopped, ar.d each woman put nut her right fent or;d carefully touched one of the p:i i Ftonen with the toe of her joe. TV:, they turned p.pair. and re sumed their walk in the mest matter of fact way L the world. Hut the on lookers did r.ct take it so coolly. New Yorl.erF are a curious people, and those who had noticed the women's ac tion resolved to find out if there was anything peculiar about ore if those pavingFtor.es. The'.v stared rap-r!y to ward th?t pnrt ef the pavement, and other persons, who had not seen the women, fellejw(d the crowd. I!nt r.eth- ir.g unusual cou!d be found In the pave ment, and it was decided that it miit be a r.ew superstition, such as had not before been heard ef. even in New York, which is aa cosmopolitan in 6uperstltlona as It is in fashions. The capture of the two negroes in this city charged with having looted a jew e.iy siiop in ilaiiiiiiuii, Beiimieia, will be u:-.' chief topic of cunvir.sadun for the .i:ur ui iir t Idyllic community, says in -New Von-.

That he finally "gave it up" wa proved when six months later a flaherraan brought up the missing wheel from fairly deep water upon his hook. Students and other residents of the United States who may be natives of Switzerland, will be Interested in a com munication to the state department from Consul Lieberknechtat Zurich, who calls attention of students and others to the necessity of providing themselves with passports. Many naturalized American citizens who were formerly Swiss citizens labor under a misapprehension as to their old and new citizenship rights and respon sibilities. They return to Switzerland without naturalization papers or pass ports, only to find themselves Swiss cit izors again. The consul adds that a person never lose-s citizenship, no matter how lonp he may absent himself, unless he goes through certain necessary formalities If he returns and is owing a military tax ,he is compelled to pay the tame, In spite of the fact that he is an American citizen. The only way to be released from old responsibilities is by making a written request to his home community for uch release, submitting proof at the same time that he has acquired American citl zenship. Upon the question whether life-bearing planets can exist in other solar sys tems than our own the answer of science is clear an; '.::snnct, saya Prof. Maun der, in Kiioviedge. It is precisely the sams with Prof. Newcomb recently gae concerning the possible inhab itants of Mars: "The reader knows just as much of the subject as I do, and that is nothing at an." Within our solar system we can indeed form tome crude estimate of probabintios; beyond it, nothing. All the amazing progress of modern science, all the revelations made by the spectroscope or by photography, all the advance in biology hava not brought us one step nearer an answer to the question, "Is thi6 the only in habited world?" We stand essentially where Whewell and Brewster did half a century ago, or we might indeed say where Galileo and Capoano were 300 years ago. We can indeed spin out tbe discussion at greater length than our predecessor)?, and can introduce a far larger number of more or less irrelevant facts, but of serious argument, either for or against, we are entirely destitute.

Temperature and Life. The range of temperature suited to terrestrial life is comparatively narrow. All vital actions are suspended tempo rarily, some permanently, if subjected to a temperature near the freezing point; while the highest that most organisms can bear lies somewhere between 95 de grees and 113 degrees Fahrenheit. Only the spores of certain bacteria can sur vive boiling. It is, therefore, probable that if the general temperature of the earth's surface roso or l'cil 40 degrees (a small, amount tvlitivtly), the whole course of life would be changed, even perchance to extinction. rPua.iL T1MK SCHEDULES!

Some time ago tbere was a wonderful Btory in the European Journal about certain grain of ancient Egyptian corn which had been planted in Germany and had come to life. The grains, they said, had been found in an Egyptian sarcophagus and had been planted by a Dresden florist. Some days iater the corn appeared above ground, much to the surprise of scien tists, who did not suppose that there was any life in grains which were from l.Odu to 5.000 years old. The corn, how ever, was certainly growing, and even the most incredulous among them soon became convinced that grains have a lease of life to which there is practical ly no limit Alas! A boy employed by the Dres den florist has now confessed that he planted some other grains in the same place wher.e his master had planted the Ijptian ones, and only a few hour after the florist completed his work. This was sad news for the scientists and for the numerous journalists who had written enthusiastialiy about the mirac ulous Qualities of the ancient graics of corn.
