The Richest Boy i'm America.

The papers telling about boy in New
England, now fourteen years OF age, who is
supposed to be the richest boy in the United
States, because he has a great deal of money.

gent, ambitious, willing to do right He is
the one who loves his mother and always
has kind word for her who loves his SIS
ter or sisters, tries to help them, and re-
CARDS them " 18th true affection. He is the
boy who does not call his father the 'sold
man" but who loves him, speaks kindly to
and of him, and tries to help him as the
hairs of his old age gather fast upon his
brow 55z -s-t .,-
The richest boy is the one who has pluck
to fight his destiny and future. He is the
one who has the manhood to do right and be
honest, and is striving to be somebody -
who is above doing mean action who
would not tell lie to screen himself or be.

fancy has always found something very in
teresting in an orchard. Apple trees, and
all fruit trees have a domestic character,
which brings them into relationship with
man. They have lost in a great measure
the wild nature Of the forest tree, and have
grown humanized by receiving the care of
man, and by contributing to his wants.
They have become part Of the family;
and their individual character is as we'll un-
derstood and appreciated as those of the hui
man members. One tree is harsh and crab
bed, another mild, one is churlish and illib.
eral, another exhausts itself with its free
hearted bounties. Even the shapes of apple
trees have great individuality, into such
strange postures do they put themselves,
and trust their contorted branches grotes-
quely in all directions And when they
havo stood around house for many years
and held converse with successive dynasties
of occupants, and gladdened their hearts SO
often in the fruitful autumn, then it would
seem almost sacrilege to cut them down.

RENovATING SMOKED HAMs.-Is there
any way of renovating smoked hams that

The hams should have been rubbed with

CURE FOR Po1soN-A standing antidote
for poison oak, ivy, etc., is to take hand

stand half an hour, then paint the poisoned
parts with it. Three or four applications
will never fail to cure the most aggravated
cases. Poison from bees, hornets, spider
bites, etc., is instantly arrested by the ap-
plication of equal parts of common salt and
bicarbonate of soda, we'll rubbed in on the

An exchange says: Some years ago ply
sicians had habit Of recommending every
eonsumptive patient to take cod liver OIL
The incredible nastiness of the dose must
have constituted its peculiar merit for, as
matter of fact, any result established by
cod liver oil would have been attained by
the patient had cream instead of oil been
prescribed. Suddenly this idea seems to
have dawned upon the medical faculty AS
consequence we now have "milk cure,''
announced as a specific for consumption
Patients who formerly put their trust in
cod livers, are now told that the COW is their
only hope. They are made to drink vast
quantities of pure milk, instead of frequent
doses of the unspeakably vile cod liver oil.
The effect is all that can be desired, The
patient who tries the milk cure finds himself
rapidly growing fat, and it is also said that
he becomes gentle, childlike and bland in
his demeanor.

durability is desired, timber should be cut
in June. The bark should be removed at
once, as this favors the rapid and perfect
seasoning of the wood. Chestnut rails, cut
at that season fifty years ago, are now IN
use, and are still good and sound, Even
| the sap-wood of the trees then cut and bark

| cut when the sap flows from the trunk alter

bark ceases to remove easily, is good time
to cut. The sprouts starts as ready from
the roots Of trees cut in June and July, as
in any time in the year. They frequently
make good shoots the same season ; II dura-
bility of the timber out and new growth
from the old roots are desirable, from the
middle of February to the middle of April
