Hygienic Hints.

To regain or recover health, persons
should be relieved from all anxiety
concerning diseases. The mind has
power over the body. For person to
think he has disease, will often pro-
duce that disease. This we see when
the mind is intensely concentrated up
on the disease of another II is found
in the hospitals that surgeons who
make speciality of certain diseases
are liable to die Of it themselves; and
the mental power is so great that some
times people die of disease which they
only have in Imagination. We have
seen person seasick in anticipation
Of voyage before reaching the vessel.
We have known a person TO die OF can
Ger of the stomach when he had 10
cancer of the stomach or any other
mortal disease. A biindfolded man,
slightly pricked in the arm, has tainted
and died from believing that he was
bleeding to death. Therefore, well
persons, to remain well. should be
cheerful and happy; and sick persons
should have their attention drawn as
much as possible from themselves. Ii
is by faith men are saved, and it is by
their faith that men die. Ii he will
not die. he can often live in spite OF
disease; aud il he has little or no at
tachment to life, he will slip away as
easily as child will TO sleep. Men live
by their souls and not by their bodies.
Their bodies have no life of themselves
they are only resources of life-ten-
ements Ct their souls. Tho will has
much to do in continuing the physical
occupancy or giving it up.-Jouraol

Planting Time.

AS this is near at hand, Ray, even at
our very door-such weather as we
have had this winter nearly all the
time-it is proper to give our readers
few hints on the subject.
In the first place, let all those who
contemplate planting, consider what
they really want, or intend to plant;
next, where TO get their trees, ETC., so
as to be sure of correctness TO name.
BY all means avoid travelling agents,
for although there NAV be honest men
among them, we must say that we
have yet The first to know to be so.
Go to or write to some establishment
on which you can rely, and tell exact
~ what yen want, and you will be
very apt to be well served-for it will
be to the nurseryman's interest to do
his best.
If one has a new place to fit up, on
which there are no fruit trees, etc, he
should lay out his plans so that when
he gets his stock the work can go Oh
in regular system. If an apple orchard
is intended and the parties choose to
plant thirty feet apart (as recommend
ed by some). they can put row of
peach trees between the rows both
ways, and by the time they begin to
crowd, the peach trees can be cut Out,
furnishing quite lot of iirewood, be-
sides stakes for grape vines TO climb
upon. The straight limbs of consid-
cradle size, with the branches short
ened in, make all admirable trellis, and
if seasoned, will last in the ground
several years. Between these fruit
trees raspberries and wberries can
be cultivated to advantage for few
years, but must be removed as soon as
they interfere with the growth of the
trees
For pears We would advise no small
stuff to be planted among them; but
small crops, such as potatoes, peas,
beans, ETC., may be grown-though
never close TO the trees. When the
pear comes into bearing, cease cult
waiting, and let the orchard be put in
to grass. 1t is great preventive of
blight. Our distance for pear trees is
twelve feet.
Now as TO varieties, we would sug-
gest that before ordering trees you
make 4 tour of investigation in the
neighborhood and see what varieties
of each kind of fruit do best in your
locality. Do not be influenced by the
glowing descriptions of some new va
rieties, else there will be more or less
disappointment. When only for
family use, get a selection TO
run through the whole season;
if for commercial purposes, go into
the best winter varieties, such as JON
athan, Winesap, Janeton, and Ben
Davis-these are always in order.
When you get apple trees you can
well afford TO pay extra to the nurse
ryman TO take up the trees with near
ly all the roots; and do but little head
ing back, for SO sure as much pruning
is done, the borer will take advantage
of it.
We will not now discuss the close
planting and non-pruning of apple
trees, once proposed in this paper, UNI
Ill we hear more opposition to the
thing. We might tel! how to plant
again, but it is taken for granted that
every man who reads knows already
how to do it.-Rurut World.

The District Grange.


Although it was great disappoint-
ment TO Patrons ali over the county to
be deprived of the privilege of hear
| ing Worthy Master Hudson last Thurs
day, yet the meeting Of the Grange was
a very pleasant and profitable one, and
the feast was q decided success. To
the members of the committee of ar
rangements much of the success of
that part of the entertainment is due.
The ladies of the committee, Mrs. III.
L. Dewing, Mrs. John Falkenstein and
Mrs. o. G. Jacobs, we think, deserve
special mention, for the zeal and ener-
gy displayed in the preparation of the
feast. When such a committee take
hold of anything, it can't be other
than a success.
The feast being over, A. Nj. Durand,
Master. called the Grange to order, and
proceeded to install the remainder of
the officers, who were not installed at
The meeting on the first instant,
owing TO the inclemency of the weather
A resolution was passed requesting
each Grange in the jurisdiction of this
Grange to furnish, for publication, the
name OF the Master and Secretary with
the address of the Secretary, and the
time and place of the meeting. We
hope those furnishing the information
will be careful to state the hour at
which the Grange meets.
The thanks of the Grange was unan-
imeusly rendered to Messrs. Mcclure
& Co., for kindness in furnishing lum-
Der for tables and to Mr.. w. G. Hobbs
for ioaning dishes to the ladies of the
committee 10 be used in setting the
same.
Mrs. S. King read poem entitled
pioneering" which was well re-
ceived. The work of the day then be-
ing completed, the Grange closed. The
best of feeling prevailed throughout
the meeting.

Protection to the Birds.


We have frequently, during the past
year, expressed our opinions in refer
ence to the protection of our insect
destroying birds. On that subject our
position is not an ambiguous one. We
have always felt that it was little less
than a crime against humanity to per-
NIT the reckless shooting Of our birds.
merely for the pleasure there is in kill
ing them, and thus allow the insects to
destroy our crops. We have suffered
too much in the past from these things
to be indifferent on this subject to-day,
and we are glad to notice that our Leg
islature has taken up the subject, and
will doubtless pass bill which will
eilectually protect the birds in the fu-
ture. Some may say this is trifling
subject, but let those who think so in
! quire of persons who are best posted
on this question, and who have been
engaged in farming in a country where
the birds have been less recklessly
slaughtered, and see whether they call
it a tri1ling subject. We honestly be-
lieve that very much of the prosperity
of this, our New West, depends on the
wisdom of our course in reference to
this matter. We shall watch with not
a little interest the action of our law
max ers.

F0RTITuDE IN SUFFERING.

The Spartan boy has been spoken of in
history as far exceeding in fortituds all
men who have lived in days past-which
may be true, but men live 10 day who are
great in heroic actions far above the noble
boy in Sparta bred.

hands; when through the smoking GEN.

which slid into his sleeve burning through
the skin-keen and dire was the burning
sensation, but not a movement did he make
to shake out the scorching ember. lest it
should make confusion or excite disturb
ance at the sacred rite, but his arm uplift-
ed still he held, until that burning coal
had eaten for itself hole in his flesh.
Those who looked upon the rite, saw no
sign, heard no cry from the boy who held
the censor, for he was Spartan born, and
he would have dIsdained to quail or cry.
Now read his equal in the nineteeth
century of the workman, the noble heroic

him to spill some of the molten lead he

ness of mind to stand immovable while
the hot metal burned into the flesh far
worse than burning coal-the slightest
movement might have thrown the man
on his shoulders to the ground, causing
probably, instant death. Fortitude is said
to be the basis of genuine courage, and
of patience in suffering which was manful-

and to US lesson teacheth. for though we
think our weaker nerves could not sustain
such dire extremity of pain, yet pain of
body is not the worst of ills; the treach-
erous heart can bring greater anguish than
the suffering of the body, and in fair re-
ligious cause. or for our country when oc-
casion calls, It's reproachful in the ex-
treme not to suffer unconplainingly.
"True fortitude is seen in great exploits
That justice warrants, and that wisdom guides;
All else is towering phrensy and distraction"
