Too Tough!
A young Scotch emigrant was brought
before the Magistrate of a Nova Scotia
eourt, charged with having deserted his
work on a certain farm without giving
lie notice to his employer.
When asked what he had to say in
his defence, he replied: "Weal, they gied
me -pout but brakeehaw to oat,' Brake -
slam, it may be explained, is the flesh of
animals which have died a natural death.
"How was that?" asked the Magis-
trate.
Weal, it was this way. Ye ken, the
old coo deed an' we ate it, the auld steg
(gander) deed an' we ate it, the add
coo (sow) deed an' we ate it, the add

THE GRAVE OF HANNIBAL.
Archaeologist Claims to Have Found It
Amid Byzantine Ruins.
According to the Frankfurter Zeitung,
the well-known German Archaeologist,
Theodor \\'tegaud, claims to have dis-
covered the grave of llaimibal in 1110
neighborhood of the ancient .11ithyniau
town of Libyssn, on a hill called :Haud-
echir.
The fragments of fine marble columns
and ancient walls, evidently the remains
of a large monument, in the midst of the
ruins of a Byzantine monastery, have lel
him to this conclusion.
The archaeologists of his own country,
however, as well as those of England and
France, seem disposed to receive his
claims with extreme caution. Perhaps
when Profeesor Wiegand has given the
public fuller and more exact dela re•
garding his discovery his fellow-antiquar-
fes may grant him a heartier support.

Starting Seeds Indoors,
.Any one who intends to start seeds
indoors needs a knowledge of various
facto concerning each variety—the length
of time needed for germination, the time
required for the plant to reach the
blooming or fruitage stags, and whether
it can be transplanted to the open
ground with safety in early spring, or
not until considerably lated. For in-
stance, says Suburban Lite, chrysanthe-
mum seeds will germinate in from five
to ten days, but the punts require a

With varieties 101,10)1 germinate quickly,

planting, to prevent tie seeding plants
