Where He Had the Advantage.

just at the close of the war of 1912, a
United States man-of-war entered Bos-
ton harbor. The commodore was known
as bully o. the first water. Entering
a BARRIERS shop in Boston, and finding
no one but the boy present, he demand
ed, in an insolent, overbearing way,
Where is your master? ?" "Not down
yet, sir" "Well, I want to be shaved. !"
Yes, sir, I can shave you" You?"
i" Yes, sir p "Well, you may try it,
but look here, my youngster," Qaying
his loaded pistol on the table,, "the
first drop of blood you draw on my face
I'll shoot you" "All right, SIR" was
the reply. The boy shaved him, and
did it well. After the operation was
through, the bully turned to him as he
took up his pistol, and remarked,
" Wasn't you afraid? ?" emo, sir" re-
torted the boy. Didn't you believe I
would shoot you?" Yes, sir" "Then
Why wasn't you afraid ?" The boy very
coolly replied, Because I had the adj
vantage" Advantage, how?" de-
manded the 1rate bully. "Why," said
the boy, with the utmost nonchaIance.

No MORE HEROES. The deadly veg
etable alkaloids, such as Mercury,
Strychnine, and Prussia Acid, cannot
cure disease or produce any but the
most disastrous results. Perhaps no
event has occurred of late years which
is SO we'll calculated to disabuse the
public mind of a belief in the efficacy
OF mineral poisons and bleeding as the
discovery Of DR.. Walker, of California,
of certain medicinal herbs, whose heal
ing principles he has extracted and COM
bined in the form of VINEGAR Buffers.
The cures wrought by it seem marvel
GUS. It's action is mild and agreeable,
but at the same time rapid and effectual ;
and being unimpeded by the presence
of alcohol or fermented liquor Of any
description, is attended with results
hitherto unachieved by any remedial
agent. The cures of Bilious Com
plants, Nfalarious Fever, Dyspepsia,
rheumatism, Scrofula, and all diseases
arising from impurities of the blood,
attest the paramount excellence of this
medicine, and justify us in recommend
ing it. 2

How Timber Nav Be Multiplied.

One of our exchanges has the follow
ing to say IN reference to this important
subject
Much has been written about raising
timber, but all the light that can be
shed upon the subject by all the arbori-
culturists in the land will not be amiss.
There is no want in the not distant
future which has SO forbidding a look
as the increasing scarcity of timber.
Our forests are not producing one
twentieth of the supply we are annually
consuming or are destroying. More
attention should be given at once to it's
propagation and preservation. It was
said by some philosopher that he who
makes two blades of grass grow where
but one grew before is a benefactor to
his race. IL this be true, and none
will dispute it, how much more credit
is due him who makes a landmark by
the cultivation of trees? Reference to
this subject brings back to our recol-
lection suggestion we saw some time
ago in regard to simple
mode by which timber may
be increased on those tracts of
land upon which it is being cut away.
1t is as follows Plant the ground in
the fall with acorns, black and white
walnuts, butternuts, the seeds of the
ash, etc. The nuts should be covered
lightly with the soil and decaying leaves,
so that boys and squirrels cannot find
them. They come up in the spring,
and if cattle are kept out of the woods
as they should be by all who would
preserve the young trees-they will
make rapid growth, under the imme-
date superintendent of Dame Nature
herself, who has been pretty success
fully engaged in this business of tree
culture, more or less, ever since the
silurian age. In the same way cuttings
may be put out in the timber in the
spring. The mulching of the ground
by the falling Of the autumn leaves is
the best dressing thatcan be put around
such young trees, which in year or so
will surprise you with their rapid
growth. We would discourage no one
who can do SO from planning out groves
on the prairies, which is one of the
best works farmer can do but these
hints carried out will enable many to
utilize places now going to waste, and
get good return for their efforts.
REMARKS. Care must be taken that
the acorns do not become dry or they
will never vegetate. They stick out q
pointy root into the ground in the fall.
The same with chestnUts and the like.

antipathy to both the smell and sight

to the smell Of bread. Cheese, mutton.

pugnant to some nasal organs as to send
their owners into commissions. Gretry,

who would have scorned to turn his back
on foe, fled without shame from a

always seized with fit upon attempt
ing to swallow morsel of flesh meat
of any kind, andnature thus condemned
him to vegetarianism-a sorer inhiction
than that suffered by Guinerius, whose
heart palpitated violently if he INDUCED

could not taste udder Of beef without
her lips swelling to uncomfortable di-
mansions. DR.. Prout had patient who
declared honest mutton was as bad as

APPLE BREAD.-Weigh one pound Of
fresh, juicy apples peel, core, and stew
them to pulp, being careful to use a
porcelain kettle or stone jar placed in
side a kettle of boiling water mix the
pulp with two pounds of the best -four !;
put in the same quantity of yeast you
would use for common bread, and as
much water as will make it a fine, smooth

twelve hours at least. Form into rather
long-shaped leaves, and bake in quick

youth He probably found her elbows weren't
quite so soft and pretty. Ought Hagan to be in

Balm gives most wonderful pearly and natural

use Lyons Kathairon upon the hair. With pearly

Pneumatic Rat Tran.

q man has invented a patent rat trap
that does not require any bait, and will
fetch a rat every time it reaches for
him. It operates on the principle of a
stomach pump-the inventor is a retired
physician, "the sands of whose life
have nearly y" etc.-and the trap is
placed at the mouth of the rat hole.
When it is wound up and the suction
begins, the rat comes. Re may hold on
to the ground with his teeth, and hump
his back, and paw dirt and weep. and
yell for the police all he wants he
comes out of that hole backward, is
dragged into a back compartment,
where steel glove drags his hide off
and lays it aside for a kid glove man
