UNLIMITED ORDERs.-It is not
safe 70 give unlimited orders for any,
thing lest you may get to much Of it.
Some years ago firm OF druggists in
Cincinnati told an old fellow who sup
oiled them with ';roots and airbs' to
send a. much "ssssafras pith"-a
scarce and expensive srticle-ss he

we're astounded one day by q con-
signment of three boat loads 'fof sas-

case has been in the courts tor seven
years, the sassatras has rotted away,
and the root and herb vender Is q

THE AcTIoN OF FRosT.-The most
fertile and productive regions are
those where the frost penetrates the
earth deeply, and exerts Its influence
during a considerable portion of the
year. The action OF the frost is a
powerful stimulant OF the soil. 1t dis
integrates it, and unlocks the closely
combined elements, and thus sets free
vast quantities of plant food. Its
action also counteracts the compress
i've force Of rains and the tread of
teams and other animals, and SO each
year lifts up and lightens the compact
earth. With frost to aid, the farmer
need not plow and cultivate so much
to put the soil in good condition, as
when this element is not operative.

Lie Down and Rest.

DR.. Hall says the best medicine in
the world, more efficient in the cure
of diseases than all the potencles of
the msteria medica, are warmth, rest,
cleanliness and pure air. Some per-
sons make it virtue to brave disease,
to "keep up" as long as they can
move a foot or crook a finger, and it
sometimes proves successful, but in
others the powers of life are thereby
so completely exhausted that the sys
TEN has lost all ability to recuperate,
and slow and typhoid fever sets in
and carries the patient to a premature
grave. Whenever walking or work
is en- effort, a warm bed and a cool
room are the first indispensable steps
to sure and speedy recovery. In
stinct leads all beasts and birds to
quietude and rest the very moment
disease or wounds assail the system.
