The Tumble-weed, The tumble-weed is a peculiarly western . institution that grows on the prairie and looks big ami round and green all sum i mer. If it is anything of a season for tumble-weeds it gets as large as a bushel basket. When fall conus it breaks off j close to the top of the ground, jumps up : ami cracks its heels together a few times , ami then begins turning hand-springs across the prairie and over barbed wire s fences. It is not as fast as the jack rabbit, : which when there is political or other ex ; citement around only touches along on the tops of the hills, but it has better 1 staying powers than the jack and will go live hundred miles an I into the British , possessions with a southeast wind an 1 ■ come back the next day with a north . west wind. On the trip it will frighten j fifty horses, help spread twenty prairie tires, ami tire out several young and in experienced dogs. A professor from an eastern college once came out here ami begun to chase a tumble weed. He wanted to classify it i ami put a collar on it. He took the bit. ! in his teeth ami followed that weed for two days. Then he cun • back ami said ' that while it was doubtless a fine botan ! ical specimen, it did not appear, on the I other hand, to be fond of the society of I polished and cultured college professors. ! It might be all right from a scientific i stand-point, but socially it was far from ! a success. While interests of scientific: j research might demand that it be cap- ■ tured and analyzed, still ho doubted the propriety of attaching a Latin name to it I and hav.ing.it jerked around over the ' prairie like a two-year-old steer tie 1 to ! the hind end of a special train, - En'M. \ inc ( Bel'. A French Flnwer I’crm- T'here is on the maritime foot-hills, in j the department of Var, a flower farm of about seventeen acres,belonging to Mme. de Rostamg. It is about 2,000 feet above the level of the Mediterranean, ami per. haps twenty miles from the coast. The calcareous soil was naturally thin ami poor, and the olive trees which had occupied tho ground for a century or more previous to 1881, yielded but scanty and unsatisfactory re turns, and the land wus regard ed a* practically worthless. In 1881 the ’ proprietress caus-d the ground '<> be I cleared and prepared for flower culture. ; It was <lug to the depth of four f ;et, and I the larger stones removed. In the. i autumn of 1881, 45,000 tufts of violets, and 140,000 ro ts of the white jasmine I were planted. The following spring the | remainder of the ground was planted I with roses, geraniums, tuberoses, and . jonquils, and a laboratory erected for the ■ manufacture of perfume.,. The location I proved to have been well chosen, the ! flower plants grew vigorou Jv and strong, and in 1885 (the fourth year after plant i ing) Ihe flower farm of S ulians, which ' liu l previously yielded a rental of §lls a year, produced (according to the state ; merit of the proprietress) perfumes valued ! at §43,154, and giving a net profit of §7,767.86. Os course the plants and 1 shrubs at Seillans have not yet reached i their full productive capacity, but the I results of the fourth year illustrate sufli- ■ ciently how- lucrative flower farming may | become, in favorable locations, and I i under good management.— Washingtor l A D.ikota Banker. “Dakota banks have a queer way of doing business,” said a well-known mem ber of a wholesale linn the other day. ; “Some time ago I drew upon a man in that territory for §llO and exchange. A check was returned to mu, but the ex change had not been collected, and the amount was stated to be seventy-five cents. I paid the exchange, but imme diately wrote the cashier of the bank about it. 1 knew the exchange should not exceed twenty-live cents, and so in formed the bank official, at the same time demanding the return of the rc : mainder. The reply was rather remark i able. The letter said: ‘Dakota is a de lightful country, but we’re not here for ■ our health. The fifty cents is to pay for the trouble of writing this It tter,’ ”—Min jwpoli» Preu.

George hesitated. ‘Clara,” he said, brokenly, “will you grant me one favor before I go away forever?” i “Yes, George,” she replied, kindly. ‘ What is it j “Please put your refusal down on j piper. 11l feel safer.” B.jziar. Wiiii.E several Kingston men wore con a rsing the other niuht regarding the j mteliiijence of animals, one man said he owned a mule once that when plowing recognized the soun i of the dinner horn. It could distinguidi a particular horn Irom ail the* other horns in the neigh borhood. Whenever it heard that horn it. would immediately laisc its voice ami commence to bray. Another man said tliat once upon a time he owned a horse on a farm, and that horse, too, became well acquainted with the. sound of the dinner horn, and if plowing <om, ordo iug any work of that kind, the driver would lie forced to stop, unhitch, ami take the horse to dinner, for the animal would refuse to piow any longer. No matter how well the horse worked, milk ing a bee line across the fields in running the plow, its course would be for the gate the moment it heard tho horn. ••Now didn’t that horse think? And didn’t he reason with himself ‘that I means dinner” ” Where He Stood. New York Mamma —“O. yes, indeed.
