"ieW'that bis death was considered only a
Question Of STEW hours, Mrs. Broef decided

NJ much better for it. More was given
aa through the night, in place of the medi-
eane, and the next morning the physician
declared that most favorable change had
taken place. Some strong pickles we're
procured and given him, and he began to
eau for cruel and broth. To be brief, be

HON 1NyLuENcE--Rev. DR.. Cuyler
talks h this wise:-If the father generally
mike money, money at home, he generally
!eers family in worship of the almighty
dollar. II he talks mainly horses, games
nd races, be breeds batch of sportsmen.
i taehion is the family altar, then the
children are offered up as victims upon the
altar. II . man makes bis own freside at
tsactive, be may reasonably hope to anchor
his children around it. My neighbor O.
makes himself the coaeiant evening COM
panion Of bis boys. The result is that his
boys are never found in bad places. But
It No father hears the clock strike eleven

ifhis boys bear it strike twelxeiin the gam
ing room or the drinking saloon If he puts
the bottle on his own table, he need not
wonder If drunken sen staggers in, by-and.

tfiend that childhood and youth ought to
have becomes their foe, the home becomes
tho "stastisg post" for moral ruin.
RIO CURE ToorHAcHE. well-known
dentist. who has tried the remedy on some
nervous people who have old roots of bro
ken teeth and are too timid to permit an
attempt to remove them, makes the follow
dog public for the benefit of whom it may
,Aooeem:-To persons who have hollow
tooth, allowing the air to reach the nerve,
! would advise that they get some spirits of
nitre and mix with alum: saturate little
cotton with it, and apply it to the cavity.
It the pain extends upwards to the eye, or
takes the form Of neuralgia, procure some
horse radish leaves, take out the stems,
vet them, and apply to the face over the
pain, and you will get relief If you have
'no-radsh try beet leaves: they may an.
swer tho purpose.
DaYINo FIas.-We find in the Rurpl
AIabdn,tan for June, statement to the
eject, that the large Symrna, White Genoa,
Brunswick and Figue dor, are the best
varieties for drying, as they are of excellent
Iquality, large, solid and less juicy than the
common yellow fig Of the country. Here
II An idea shat should be turned to profit i
selecting figs for drying. We all under
stand the difference between the best raisin
'eod wine grapes to be, that the former
'eooald be sweet, pulpy and dry: whilst the
Cha Jucier grape with the least pulp gives
The largest yield of wine material. A pulpy
grape makes an excellent raisin and is
easily dried, very juicy grape is difficult
to dry, and the same rule holds with refer
ence to figs; avoid therefore the more juicy
varieties, where the purpose is drying and
packing.
When l visited the place about month
-ago. Il found the 500 which had been
worked "epon ,peach, and we'll irrigated
while in the nursery, healthy and vigorous,
having put,out'new shoots from eight inches
ITO foot in length; and with every indi-
cation Of completely gratifying the hopes of
their owner, while the l 800 worked on al
mond and grown without irrigation, were
the h.ost complete failure ever saw; not a
single tree being alive.
THE nature Of the almond demands that
lit shall! be planted upon high, dry, gravelly
or sandy situations; putting forth it's bloom
~ It docs IL February, it cannot be grown
successfully on moist lands where humid
atmosphere tends to increase the severity of
Spring frosts.
