WEEDS THAT ARE VALUABLE.
Medicinal Properties in Many Plants
Looked On as Pests.
It is not a matter of common knowl-
edge that some of the weeds "infesting"
the land will produce the crude drugs
which to -day in large part are obtained
by importation from abroad.
Alice Henkel, an assistant of the Gov-
ered, prepared and cured in Europe, and
that the roots, leaves and flowers of
several of the weed species regarded as
plagues in the United States are gath-
ered, preparede and cured i nEurope,
not only for useful commodities there,
but supply to a considerable extent the
demands of foreign lands.
There are weeds in this country
against which extermination laws have
been passed which hold in their leaves,
4;;tems or roots medicinal properties
which have a value in the work of pre-
serving the health of the nation.
It is possible in ridding land of weeds
fn order that crops may be grown to
)make of the uprooted "pests" a source
of income. Moreover, it is possible to
maintain upon land given over as worth-
less for crop -growing purposes a weed
plantation, which after the harvest will
rove itself to be not less profitable
than some of the tilled fields.

Kindly Trait of a King.
King Edward starts many fashions. He
has been doing it all his life. Usually
his ideas are sartorial . Occasionally,
though, King Edward strikes out an
idea which all the world, fashionable or
commonplace, can approve. is latest is
one of great humanity, No horse is ever
sold from the royal stables after it has
outlived ite usefulness. It is pub to
death painlessly. This is a source of
much financial less to the king, always
hard up, for Englund is crowded with
tuft hunters who would pay exorbitant
prices for his old horses just to brag
about there,
representatives of the greatest kingdom
of the evolial, the stony reads appeared
to me like beds of down, tl:r snowstorms
tied blizards like zephyr. on a summer's
eve, and the miserable desert like a gar-
den of Paradise."
But he said nothing of the sort. What
he did say was: "No; I did not leave a
good journey. It pleased Allah to be-
strew my path with every form of diffi-
ettity and annoyance and I am glad it's
over."—London Standard.

Rug Tenants More Nomadic.
'The first thing I ask a prospective
tenant," said a landlord, "is 'Have you
carpets or rugs 2' I'm always glad when
the apartment hunter answers 'Carpets:
Ivo got so that I always ask that ques-
tion and whenever possible I rent to the
people who are so old-fashioned as to
cling to carpets. There is nothing like
a carpet to hold a tenant in place. .
lease isn't half so effective. Carpets are
out to fit the floors and it will require
pretty big inducements to get their own-
er to pull up stakes and go to some
other place where the carpets will have
to be made over again. The advocate
of rugs is held down by no such con-
siderations. Rugs will fit any floor and
the person using them will move every
month if he feels like it. Therefore,
give me tenants with the carpet habit."

have been taken, says The Circle, when
the `camera was held upside down.
By holding the camera in the way
suggested many* a photographer has se-
cured good pictures, while bthers who
tried to use the camera in the usual way
made absolute failures.
. Often by holding the camera by the
side of the Body and pointing it back-

Pipe Opium Not Drug Opium.
Very few seem to understand that
the Chinese smolcin'g opium, which is
raised in India and China, is an entirely
different article from the opium of the
drug market. That comes almost wholly
from Turkey, though there is a little
from Persia too. 'Srwyrna is the centre
of the trade. The duty on Turkish opium
is only el a pound. That would be suf-
ficient to prohibit much importation. Be-
sides, the smoking variety is of very
inferior strength, yielding not more than
4 or 5 per cent. of morphine, while crud
opium for drug purposes is not ailowett
to be imported miles it shows at least
9 per oen't, of morphine when tested.—

The Quiet Worker.
In every community there are good
men and women who .are unnoted and
unrenowned. They hold no offices, they
serve on no committees. When officials:
are to be elected, their names aro not
suggested. When honors are to be be-
stowed no one thinks of them. They,
are quiet keepers �et home, ow patient •
daily .toilers in honorable vocations, liv-
ing humbly en some quiet street, with
a few flowers by the floor. Batt God'
keeps his own tally -sheet of the citizens
of a town; and there is a possibility
that when the day of honorable promo—
ton comes the fortunate 'ones will be of
those who saw but little of honor ah
the hands of their oountrymem. God's
es'tim•ate of man does not depend upon
how much he pays peer foot for his pro.

Coming Struggle With the Orient.
The scepter of power among nations,
whether it be military or commercial,
never remained permanently with any-
one, no matter how great and all-per-
vading its dominion once was. The his-
tory of the world is simply a history of
the rise and culmination and downfall of
nations. Once the seat of world power
was in Asia, at Babylon. Then it was
shifted to 'Trope, at Rome. It has
sicne then remained in Europe. Ameri-
ca is looming up as the greatest of world
powers, but before its primacy shall be
established there will be a mighty strug-
gle between Asia and the western na-
tione.—New Orleans Picayune.
