has used Boschees German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known
to their friends in cuing Consump-
ton, severe Coughs, Group, Asthma,
Pneumonia, and in fact all throat and

use it without immediate relief. Three
doses will relieve any case, and we
consider it the duty Of ali Druggists
to recommend it to the poor dying
consumptive, at least to try one bot
tie. as 10000 dozen bottles were sold
last year, and no one case where 1t

Small Fruits.

Most of our towns, as well as the
country, are poorly supplied with the
small fruits. In most cases reliance
has to be placed on express compa-
MES to bring them, wilted and insipid,
from some other quarter of the globe.
As poor as many of our farmers are,
and as hard as the times are, many
are ashamed to be peddling strawber-
ries, cherries, raspberries, currants,
gooseberries, grapes, asparagus, mel
ons, cabbages, turnips. celery, beets,
carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc,
etc. But the same men would think
it honorable to peddle calico, pins and
pepper. It is astonishing what large
amount of this truck can be sold at @
town of 500 or 5000 inhabitants. A
gardener who devotes himself to il
can always raise earlier and better
articles than those who raise in Q
smaller way and whose time
and thoughts are in other enterprises.
We know Of gardeners when they
commenced who did not aspire at more
than an income OF $500 per annum
from the gardens, whose income i.
now $4,000 per year. But move
slowly in opening up such enterprises
Thoroughly prepare the ground, ant

and vegetables suited to the climate.
Manure must be applied hber-
ally, in such quantities as would
frighten an average farmer. Towns
and families are suffering in health
and comfort for the want of first
class garden near them OF capacity
and enterprise enough to supply the
market with the choicest fresh fruits
and vegetables. Even the farmers,
absorbed in cropping their hundreds
Of acres, neglect the garden, and would
rather buy choice articles produced
early. Near many of our towns a
man can be a minister Of mercy as
well as making himself comfortable
living, by starting a iirst-class garden.
This takes little or no capital. Gard
eners near the larger cities Of the
United States pay as high as $500
per acre rent for gardens, and yet
they sell no higher than can be sold
at almost any of our interior towns
As it is we pay the profits Of half a
dozen middlemen, pay high express
charges, and then get wilted ana in

after being removed from their native
stems And yet thousands stand all

Our Monkey.

Our first pet was monkey, bearing
the not uncommon name OF "Jocko.
He was a small creature, very scantlly
provided with hair, very ugly, but so
intelligent that his appearance was
voted to be beneath consideration
The little thing was sent to us when
quite young, and as he grew, sur
rounded by children, he adopted our
ways to such an extent as to make
him appear almost human. lie could
initiate us, but, as my mother thank
fully observed, we could not initiate
him, and certainly one monkey was
enough. We taught him TO wash HIM
self, Clean his teeth, use knife and
fork generally to conduct himself "llke
Chriatian,' as We phrased It,
He also became as expert IN gymnas-
tics and dancing, and learned to wait
very cleverly at the hall door, per-
Torrance that was not always ap-
preciated by our more timld visitors
Many ran away screaming at the
SIGHT of the little black, jabberlng
creature, and could hardly be perslad-
ed that he was perfectly harmless
Jocko's grand exhibitions, however,
were always of his own invention
1t was my mothers CUSTOM after ''n-
dressing us for bed, to hear her young
est child say his prayers at her knees
while the others repeated theirs in
silence and with due solemnity. One
evening, while three of us were de-
voutly kneeling at our bed-sldes, and
little Arthur was lisping "Now l lay
me-" my mothers eye caught an un-
usual sight, fourth little whlte-robed
figure, with black uplifted hands and
bowed head, piously crouchlng beside
the others, apparently engaged IN
earnest prayer. The sighted proved
too much for my mothers rlslbllliles
she burst into laughter, IN which we,
at first astonished, speedily joined
Jocko had stolen soiled nightgo"n'
and made good the opportunity OF
testifying to his religious DESIRES
This open profession, however, was
not followed by suitable department,
for he daily grew in wickedness,
Stealing now became his tavorlte EN-
ployment. He occupied a little house
erected on q pole in the yard, aud, be-
inc tree as air, was able to follow his
thleving unhindred. Eggs and sugar
were his special delights. These he
would steal before our very eyes
watching his chance to sneak into the
store-room, only announcing his pres
ence by a malicious chuckling as f'
retired with lump of sugar in eacl
cheek, an egg under one arm, and
saucer under the other Why he
took the saucer, though, we coul'
never imagine, unless it was to break
it, which he always did. His favorlt'
resort after committing theft va
the roof of the house, where he coul'
not be taken. Here he would carr,
the poor hens and chickens, stril
them of their feathers. and throw then
half dead into the yard. Jocko a
last became so mischievous and thiev
ish that we were obliged to chain him
But one sad day he escaped, and wa
killed by a strange dog that happen
ed by. We heard the poor creature
scream and ran to his rescue, but to-
late /; he died before our eyes. w
all cried bitterly over his little, black
mangled body, and gave him an hon
orable burial. But we never had an
other monkey.-[From "Our Pes, j
