 ground pine, should never be torn out. 



"It is especialh' desirable that plants such 

 as the wintergreen be allowed to mature fruit 

 as food for birds during the harsh winter 

 months. Without this source of food many 

 birds die of winter starvation. It is desirable 

 that the picking of such weedy but attractive 

 plants as daisies, buttercups, golden rod and 

 asters be encouraged, since by so doing no 

 harm results and the farmer is assisted with 

 his weed problem. In addition, the cultiva- 

 tion of wild plants in our gardens may save 

 many species for the enjoyment of future 

 generations." — From the iVctt' York World. 



A Transformation 



A Scotchman who landed in Canada not 

 long ago accosted a coal black negro for a 

 direction. It happened that the black had 

 been born in the Highland district of Scot- 

 land and lived there most of his life. "Hey, 

 mannie," said the Scotchman, "can ye nae 

 tell me whaur I'll find the kirk?" The dar- 

 key pointed with his arm. "Go richt up to 

 yon wee hoose and turn to ye're richt and 

 gang up the hill," said he. The visiting 

 Scotty looked at him in horror. "And arre 

 ye frae Scotland, mon?" he asked. "R-richt 

 ye arre," said the darkey. "Aberdeen's ma 

 hame." "And hoo lang hae ye been here ?" 

 asked the Scotchman breathlessly. "About 

 two year," said the darky. "Lord save us 

 and preserve us," said the new arrival. 

 "Whaur ken I get the boat for Edinburo?" — 

 Argonaut. 



On A Modern Steamship 



The other day a great liner, equipped with 

 all the modern necessities, including a palm 

 court, well filled with the varied blooms that 

 spring up in the Atlantic field, set out on her 

 voyage to New York. The captain, ascend- 

 ing a gangway, met a venerable but unknown 

 figure wearing the company's cap and uni- 

 form. "Are you of the ship's company, my 

 man?" "I am, sir." "What is your rating?" 

 pursued the astonished skipper. "Please, sir, 

 I'm the ship's gardener," was the repl}'. — 

 The Xatioii and the Athenaeum.
