THE BABY SHOWN TO VISITORS.

1t is an odd fact. No baby ever did, and no
baby ever will, behave in company. The
mother always brings it into the parlor where
the visitor is dressed in its clean dress, and
its father and its aunt come in smiling at the
same time. After the visitor has kissed the
baby and taken it on her lap, and declared it
is the dearest little thing she ever saw, the
baby's mother and she begin to talk. Each
talks about her own baby as fast as she can
rattle, and both talk at once, apparently with
out caring what the other is saying. In the
midst of the conversation the baby throws
up" on the visitors dress, and is suddenly
handed to its mother.
The visitor smiles sickly smile and says
it makes no difference, but she is mad. The
conversation is resumed, but presently the
father winks furiously at the mother and
frowns and clears his throat and makes mys-
terious signals at the side of the chair with his
hand. The mother looks down and perceives
that some of the uudergarments are slipping
of, and she snatches up the infant and flies
from the room. When she returns the child
cries to 20 to its father and no sooner is it set
tied on his knee than it betrays an irresistible
yearning to 20 to its aunt, after which it cries
furiously because its mother won't take it.
Then the aunt gets piece of candy to
quiet it, and when its hands have acquired
sufficient sickness, it reaches over and mauls
the visitors bonnet. Then its mother tries to
show off its accomplishments; but it utterly
refuses to make display; it is as stupid as
an owl. 1t won't say mamma or papa"
and it won't show how big it is. Its father
tries to coax it to say papa" but it pays no
attention to him. He tries again and again,
getting madder all the time and dreadfully
afraid the visitor will think the child is dull
At last he grabs the child by the arm and
shakes it, and yells; "why don't you say pa
pa as 1 tell your Then the child screams
like backyard full of cats. The more the
mother soothes it the louder it gets, until the
father exclaims, "Gi'me that brat" and
picks it up and dashes out of the room, and
is heard spanking it in the entry. Then the
visitor goes home looking at her, dress and
deciding that the end of that infant will be
the gallows, if its characteristics are allowed
to develop fully as it grows up.

A HoRsE's Foor.-Good horse judges un-
derstand the Importance ofthe foot. 1tshould
be of medium size, either extreme being sug-
gestive of disease. 1t should be longer at the
ground surface than broad, the heel neither
very high nor very low. The outer surface
of the hoof should be smooth, the slant about
fifty degrees, and the frog large, elastic and
healthy looking. The latter must never be

fresh and in good condition, they will require
no watering unless the ground be very dry /;
cloudy day, however, should, if possible, be
selected for planting.
The distance apart of the plants in the
rows may vary with the richness Of the soil
the variety planted, and the kind Of cultiva'
ton to be adopted, but from twelve to fifteen
inches may be considered a good general
rule.
Mulching is the placing of mulch or litter
of some kind upon the surface of the soil
over the roots of the plants. Its most prom
inent uses are the retention of moisture, the
promotion of an equal temperature, and, in
the case of the strawberry, the protection of
the fruit from injury by the sand, which would
otherwise be thrown upon it by every shower.
1t is a process, the Importance Of which,
especially in our climate, can hardly be over
rated.
Soon after planting our strawberries we
scatter some kind of mulch into the trenches,
filling them nearly to level with the gener-
al surface, but being careful not to cover up
the plants. The depression in which we plant
serves to prevent the plant from being wash
ed or blown away. Various materials may
be used. Sawdust, which has lain in the heap
till partly decomposed, is excellent; the short
mowings of lawn grass, half rotted leaves
and chopped pine straw are also good: Prob,
ably rice chaff where it could be had, would
answer good purpose, but we have no ex-
perience in its use.

sCmENCK,s SEA WEED TONIC.

In the atmosphere experienced here during
the summer months, the legarthy produced by
the heat takes away the desire for wholesome
food, and frequent perspiratlons reduce bodily
energy, particularly those suffering from the
effects OF deblitatlng diseases. In order to
keep natural healthful activity OF the system
we must resort to artificial means. For this
purpose Schencl's Sea Weed Tonic is very
effeotual. few doses will create an appetite
and give fresh vgor to the enervated body.
For dyspepsia, it Is Invaluable. Many eminent
physicians have doubted whether dyspepsia
can be permanently cured by the drugs which
are generally employed for that purpose. The
Sea Weed Tonic In It's nature is totally differ
emit from such drugs. 1t contains no corrosive
minerals or acids; In fact 1t assists the regular
operations OF nature, and supplies her defici-
ences. The tonic in It's so much resembles the
gastric juice that IL is almost Identical with
that fluid. The gastric Juice is the natural SOL
vent which, in healthy condition Of the body,
causes the food TO be dlgested; ana when this
juice Is not eXcreted In sufficient quantities,
Indigestion, with all It's distressing symptoms,
follows. The Sea Weed Tonic performs the
duty OF the gastric Juice when the latter is de-
ncient. schenck's Sea Weed Tonic sold by all
