How thistle-down will travel 1
trifle light as air," written in haste
and as quickly forgotten, will some
times go farther than the most pains
taking and laborious efforts of a j busy
brain. The editor of the Pine Knot
was surprised last week, while looking
over his Northern exchanges to find in
the Plymouth (Js. H.) Record thej fol
lowing, in a very interesting account
of the New Hampshire Press Associa
tion banquet of July 4th. The writer
is describing the 'menu card:
"in the middle ot the hitn pag is a
large oven which the flurried editor is
quicKenmg witn a huge poKer, wnne
the "devil" is feeding the fire with an
immense waste basket filled with po
ems on spring. The flames burst jforth
enclosing the jlpng irregular row of
vegetables, thus encouraged to ap-
pear hot on the table. Under-
. , i ; . t
neath is the quotation:
"Oh, derly beloved sprint poet ! Bpring poet!
If you've written a poem, don't show it don't
. ihow it! ' .;- ; f
Bat into the -watte basket throw it ! j uat-throw
' i ' ..' it! ; I . . j
The public won't care if they only don't
- know it." - '.
The "poem" is from the Pine Knot
of April 16th, and it is needless to add
that the writer had no idea that it
would ever figure on a menu card, way
up in New Hampshire, when he wrote
it. However, it's all right, boys ! The
writer was born in the old Granite
State and partly "raised" there. So
he is glad if he contributed anything
to the enjoyment of her wide-awake J
newspaper men.
AN ATTRACTIVE BOOK.
"Lasell Seminary, 1851 1887" is
the title and, as is the case with most
looks of real merit, the cover is not
the best thing about it, although that
is very tasteful. "For Young Worn-
en" says the title page, and it is a j

Lasell's latest acquisition is a fine
collection of paintings, drawings and
engravings, originals and rare copies.
Prof. Bragdon spent a great deal of
time and money while in Europe last
winter for this purposed the result
is an art collection such as no school
of an equal grade, in this country
possesses.
GRAPES PAY.
A gentleman in this city who has a
vineyard near by, yesterday examined
a vine which is bearing the first time
this year, .and counted thereon sixtv
fine and well developed bunches of
grapes. Four of these bunches will
weigh one pound or more, giving the
nroduet of the vine fifteen nonnda
i,,, i u' i
Une thousand vines, he says, can be
easily raised on one acre. He sells
the grapes to net him eight cents per
pound. If the one thousand vines
ould average the product of the one
above, the total product of the acre
would be i5,000 pounds' of grapes,
which at eight cents per pound, net,
would be $1,200 from one acre of
grounds But to make sure of what
vine should yield seven and one-half
pounds of grapes, almost an abso
lutely certain yield. Even then the
receipts from that acre would be $000.
