The robin I am speeking of had a nest -of young in a maple pear by, and she orked the neighborhood very industriously for food. She would run long over the short grass after the nian- ner of 'robins, stopping every few -feet, her form stiff and erect. S. ow and then she would. suddenly bend her bead to- ward the ground and bring eye or ear for a moment to bear intently upon it. Then she would spring to boring the turf turf vigorously with her bill, changing her attitude at each stroke, alert and watchful, throwing up the grass roots and little jets of soil, stabbing deeper and deeper, growing very moment more and more excited, till finally a fat grub is seized and brought forth. Time after time, for several days, I saw her mine for grubs in this way and drag them forth. How did she know where to drill? The insect was in every case an inch below the surface Did she hear it gnawing -the roots of the grasses, or did she see a movement in the turf be- neath which the grub was at work I know not. I only know that she struck her game unerringly each time. Only twice did I see her make a few thrusts and then desist, as if she had been for the moment deceived. Hate pugnacious the robin is! With what spuk and spirit he defends himself against his enemies!, Every spring I see the, robins mobbing the bue-jays that go sneaking, through • the trees looking for eggs. The crow -blackbirds nest in my evergreens, and tecre is perpetual war between them and the robins. The blackbirdsedevour the robins' eggs, and the robins never cease to utter their peotest, often backing it up with blows. I saw two robinS attack a young black- bird in the air, and they tweaked out hie feathers at a lieely rate. The past 'spring a pacleof robins killed a cuckoo near me that they found rob- bing a neat. 1 did not witness the kill- ing, but I have crass -questioned a num- ber of people who did see it, and. I am contiriced of the fact. They set upon him whOn he was on the robin's nest, nod left htm so bruised and helpless be- neath it that he soon died. It was the first intimation I ever had that the cuckoo devoured the eggs of other .birds. —John Burroughs_in _February Outing. _ Minard's Lininient Curds Distemper. - 7 1 Mr. Carnegie and His Roses. A pleasant 'story is going the rounds about Mr. -Andrew Carnegie. • At Skibo Castle.during the past summer he had a beautiful Tose garden. There were thousands of red and white and yellow roses always blooming there, and the villagerawere free to satihter in the gar- den pathe totheir hearts' content. One day the head gardener waited upon Mr. Carnegie. "Sir," he said, "I wish to lodge a or:viable" "Well?" said the master. "Well, sir," the gardener began, "I wish to inform you that the village folk are plucking the roses in your rose garden. , They are denuding your rose trees, sir." "Ale" said Mr. Carnegie, gently, "my people are fond of flowers, are they, Donald? Then you must plant more." • Leveret Y.:Z (Wise Head)Disinfectant Soap Powder is a boon to any home.

The discovery of a means of met Amor- phosing radishes into potatoes has been Blade in so solemn o place as the Mad- emy of Sciences, Paris, M. Molliard takes veig strong radish, 'Pasteurizes" it in a certain way, and it grows up into it fine potato. More scientifically, the young radish is cultivated in a glaes re- tort, after a process invented by Pas- teur, in a concentrated solution of glu- cose. Starch then develops plentifully in the cella of the radisb, which' swells out, loses its pepperiness, and 'acquires practically the consistency,firmer and especially the netritive properties of the potato—St. James' Gazette. MESSRS, 0, C. RICHARDS & CO. Some time ago I had a bad attack of Quinzy which laid inc up for two weeks and cost me a lot of money: Finding the lump again forming in my throat, I bathed freely with MIN- •ARD'S Lee4s7MENT, and saturating is cloth with the liniment left it on all night. Next morning the swelling was gone and I attribute the warding off of an attack of Quinzy to the free use of MINARD'S LINIMENT. G. F. WORDEN. St. John. Why Do Some Women Blight Flowers? Some very attractive evomen cannot 'wear flowers at all. No matter how fresh the bloom may be, in a very short time they droop, and roses especially will fairly fall over themselves, soon fading away. If this peculiar effect &rises from some natural cause, what is it? One young girl, who is devoted to flowers and never more happy tbau ehen sur- Toundecl by them, said rather sadly to me the other day: "What guilt be about me'for I have only to look at a flower to have it fade. is it the evil eye?" I did not think it could be that, for her eyes •are lovely bi color and expression, but as she is by no means the only "vie- tim," as one may call 11, some reason there must be for this antrigonism. Can it be physical or spiritnal a—Boston Her- ald. LEAVE WELL ENOUGH ALONE. According to a well-founded rumor, the Dominion Government will during the present session be urged to impose a customs duty on grades of fence wire which are now on the free list. That such a tax would. prove an unjust bur- den to the farmers of Caned°. there is no doubt. In the older parts of the Dominion the old wooden fences ere being year by year replaced by wire structures, and in the greet West, which is rapidly being settled, practi- cally all the fencing is being done with wire in one or other of its many forms of construction. Were the kinds of wire most in use for fence construction manufactured in Canada, there might be some excuse for imposing an impcnt Mac, but since there are practically no factories for making it in operation in thts Dominion, whom could such a tee benefit That the prices of fending material would be raised to practically the ex- tent of the duty there can be mo doubt. , This would mean that a duty of 25 or e 30 per cent. would impose an extra tax of $150 to $175 on the feecing required for an average farm. Nor would. the rural community suffer only to .the ex- tent of an increased •experise to those who have to fence, but et great ,deal of farm improvement woulki be deleyed for many years, which would operate strong- ly in keeping down the value of land, Rather than impose a tariff on Nos. 0, 12 and 13, smooth galvanized wire, as has been proposed, it would be 0. much saner policy to remove the present duty of 20 per cent. on Nos. 7 and 11. If this were done, .the avenue would not suffer, for these grades aro not extensively Me Ported, but if they were free n stronger and more satisfactory,' fence could be ell - tabled without enhanting the cost.
