The "Weeds and their Destruction" mnpresses me as not judiciously treatâ€" ing the subject. It starts with the as- :sumption that “weeds are the greatest pests on the farm." Consider the cf. Iect on agriculture had we no plants to grow but the few we wish to cultivate, as grain or grass. Smaller and larger. areas are continually being dropped from tillage, and were we without weeds, these areas would soon be de- nuded and consigned to poverty and \uesolation. I prefer to assume that “every crea- "ture of God is good," coupling with it the fact of man's obligation “to dress and to keep" his heritage. The plants ~05 our woods and the natural meadows have their appointed bounds. None are allowed to crowd out others; but when the soil is brought under tillage they disappear. The weeds of our cui- tivated lands have followed civilized man around the world, and it were both reverential and philosophic .to had in them not enemies, but friends. I know not from what part of our, country the standard is taken for com- paring American with European agri- culture. Certainly not from the region embracing southeastern Pennsylvania. Here our general crops average twenty bushels of wheat, fifty'of corn and one and oneâ€"half tons of hay per acre. Fa- vorable conditions extend these figures to forty bushels of wheat, seventy of corn and above two tons of hay. Po- tatoes and oats are more dependent upon the season. When our field crops fall below the above average, it is sel- We sometimes truck :patches, but a corn field choked with weeds is a very rare sight. The pres veiling plant to take possession of our amoccupied grounds is the rag-weedâ€"n JArnbrosia artemisiaetolia. This is so tenacious that it would completely oc- cupy our plowed land but for after cultivation. The time to destroy it is soon after the seeds have sprouted. A few strokes with a sharp, light barrow effect this; no patented wceder is needed. The cultivatio‘n with various barrows that destroy the weeds is only what is .needed to pulverize the soil; but I have :sometimes thought the young plants of our hoed crops would fall of sum- oient culture did not the coming weeds hurry on our action. or course this .culture to be effective must have the 'i'avoring conditions of drying weather. I can well understand that when clouds and rain are continuous at this time of year the destruction of the weed crop ,.must be a failure. I suppose that nine-tenths of the 'total crop of weeds that infest our cul- tivated ground here is rag-weed. We have several others of simualtaneous growth, as chenopodium. amaranth, verbascum, datura, etc., but. the time- iy treatment outlined above suffices for all of them. A few docks, burdocks, Canada thistles, horse nettles, etc., re- quire special treatment. And we have I the morning-glory, the abutilon and others, that Were left to produce seed in neglected ground, require years of 'care to germinate and destroy the ins! of the crop of seeds in the soil. Daisies and carrots would thrive here. but they so readily yield to culture that we have only to put the ground in order and seed it well with grass to keenthem out of our pasture and hayâ€"L.

Once I piled all my overcoats and rugs tad a mackintoeh on "top of. my bed: in Athens. And here _ in sunny Spain I for the first time became aognizant of bed-warmers and warm- mg-pans â€" objects which hitherto to me had been purely literary. I had read 3f them in story-books, but supposed they were figm’ents, like the Phoenix and the Dragon. Now I know that they elm-st, and since I have slept in these shiver-y Spanish beds, in these refrigerator Span- ish bedrooms, in these vault-like Spanish hotels, I bless the man who invented warming-pans. As you go along the gloomy corridors of these sepulcbral lioâ€" tels, your footfalls echomg through the arches above you, with o. bone-searching cold rising up from the stone floor under you, you see rows of hotâ€"water bags, aoyly clad in red flannel, hanging by the awkward doorkvnobs of the clumsy Span- lsh' doors. At. first you my, “Is this he- iel occupied only by invalids‘l” Noâ€"you Speedin find that they are not. invalids, but that to prevent rigor mortn-s setting in during the night from the extreme sold, they take hotâ€"water bags to bed with them. In bhe larger cities-of Norbhern Eu- rope the landlords have been forced to beat- their hotels. They did it reluctant- ly, but they did it. In London, Poms, acneva, Lucerne, on the Riviera, and in some Roman hotels you now find centre-1 heating systems. Not so in the smaller hotels of Southern Italy, of Spain, of Greece, and of the Levanlt. There the unfortunate tourists slowly freeze. So‘ I believe that the North Pole is somewhere around the Mediterranean, and when I look back over the lapse of years to Jimmy Massey and his geo- graphical hctcrodox'ies, I have a fellow- feeling for him. In some of these hotels you occasion- ally find a queer stove. It would amusingâ€"if you did not yourself live in the hotelâ€"to see the miscellaneous we. in which the top of the stove is use . Guests come to warm illieir hands, and go away leaving their gloves on the stove. They set down books, lmts,dl_ow- are and packages “there. In the dining- mloon the waiters put dishes of food on ., the stove while servingâ€"not to heat them, but using it merely as a. table. I have noticed, however, that they never leave the «so-called “warm” dishes there ~perhaps they fear they might get cold; or then pcnlmps, on the other hand, they far they might get hot. The landlords of these cold hotels dis- play a. touching solicitude about 0h. wove. Every man has his weak point. Some millionaires hate to pay for post- age stamps. The landlord of a big hotel over here often spends half of his time trying to keep the servants from putting too much fuel on the fire. To prevent Americans and other pyroma-niacs from meddling with the fuel they often keep llho coal-bin locked. It is a touching spectacle to see a group of Americans shivering around a. little stove; to no the servant entergtake out a. key, and unlock the coal-bin; to see (the freezing Americans excited as he puts two or three teaspoonfuls of coal in the stove, and then locks the bin strain; to see the gimlet eye of e. Granada land- lord fastened on him from tihe omen; then to see the hapless Americans sink back into bheir overcoat collars, and wish they were “back home in God’s country.” , ' As an incident of the desperation to which these cold hotels drive people, I. once saw in a Levamtine hotel an elderly spinster seat herself in‘ front of the stove in the men’s smoking-room with her hair down, while an elderly female friend gave heu- a dry shampoo. To the suggesJ :ion of the scandalizcd servantsâ€"~310- hammedan malesâ€"that she should finial! this intimate toilet operation in her own room, she replied briefly that she had found the only warm place in the hotel 1 and she proposed to finish the shame ' there. Which she did. Surgery Seven Hundred Years Ago. Surgical operations were performed on the human skull in America two hun- dred years before the coming of Colman-y bus, says the Toledo “Blade.” The work was done in those early days with the aid of shells and flint hatchete. Many skulls have been discovered in Peru which illustrate the methods of these early surgeons. From the appearance of the skull it is also evident that a consid- erable proportion of those operated upon lived afterward. This 'trcphiniug was probably performed to save the lives of those who had received a serious wound from a club or a stone.
