have little kinsman
whose early summers are Dut three,
And yet voyager is he.
Greater than Drake or forplsner-
Than all their peers together!
He is brave discoverer,
And far beyond the tether
OF them who seek the frozen pole,
Has sailed where the noiseless surges roll.
Az, he has travelled whittier
A winged pilot steered his bark
Through the portals of the dark,
Past hOary Mimir's well and tree,
Across the unknown sea.
Suddenly. in his fair young hour,
Came one who wore a flower,
And laid it on his dimpled hand
With this command:
"Henceforth thou art a rover!
Thou must make voyage far,
Sail beneath the evening star,
And wondrous land discover
With his sweet smile innocent,
Our little kinsman went.
Since that time no word
From the absent has been heard.
Who can tell,
How he fares, answer well
What the little one has found
Since he LETT us, outward bound?
Would that he might return!
Then should We learn
From the prickng of his chartl
How the skyey roadways part.
Hush does not the baby in this way bring
To lay beside the severed curl
Some starry offering
OF chrysolite or pearl!
All, no! not so!
We may follow on his track,
But he comes not back.
And yet dare aver
He is brave discoverer
OF chimes his elders do not know;
He has more learning than appears
On the scroll of twice three thousand years;
More than in the groves is taught,
Or from furthest Indies brought.
He knows, perchance, how spirits fare
What shapes the angels wear,
What is their guise and speech
In those lands beyond our reach
And bis eyes behold
Things that shall never never be to mortal nearer

CATARRH.
Statement of 0. J. Goodrich, ESQ.
Editor Rocky Mountain Herald,
Denver, Colorado, showing the
Prevalence of Catarrh and
the Popularity of San
fOrd's Radical Cure for
Catarrh.

'Every nine out of ten adults in this whole region
of country is afflicted with Catarrh. 1t to be
climatically epidemic out in this atmosphere Mr..
Smith tells that the three dozen bottles of RAD
ICAL CURE were Immediately sold, and that he
had forty orders for within the last three weeks
but had none here to supply from.''
The Mr.. Smith referred to is of the firm of Smith
& Doll, furniture dealers, Denver. When in Boston
about a year ago he purchased eleven bottles Of
Catarrh Remedy, and one of SANFoRD's RADICAL
CURE the latter at the earnest request of personal
acquaintance. He had seen the first named remedy
but had not heard of the latter. Shortly after his
arrival in Denver received order for dozen of
the RADICAL CURE, and soon another with the
pleasing intelligence that Mr.. Smith was cured. The
prevalence of the disease, coupled with the recon-
mendations of Mr.. Smith, soon created lively
demand, and without advertising nearly three
hundred bottles were sent out. This is striking
illustration of what is frequent done for this remedy
as return for relief from long and painful suffering

THE BASSIA LkTIFCLIA.

In many parts of India the flowers of the
Bassia Latitolia form an important article of
food. The blossoms, which are succulent
ana very numerous, fail from the tree at
night in large quantities, and are gathered
early in the morning and eaten raw. They
have a sweet, sickly taste and smell They
are also dried and stored as staple article
Of food. A single tree will yield from 200
to 400 pounds of flowers. The blossoms OF
another variety Of the same family, Bassia
Longifogia, are used in q similar manner in
Malabar and Coromandel. These are eaten
either dried and roasted, or bruised to . jelly
and boiled. The last are made into small
balls, which are sold or exchanged fer fish,
rice and various sorts Of small grain. The
seeds OF al varieties of bassia are no less USE

TH I POU l FRY YARD
VERHIN on POULTEY.

MS the season for commencing this years
operations is at hand, a word or two Oh this
subject may not be aniss. Without doubta
majority Of the cases of sickness and death
among poultry could be traced to want of
cleanliness and proper care to keep them
and their quarters free from parasites.
There are no less than four kinds of these
pests sure to be found where fowls are ne
elected. First the chicken louse unlike any
other, which is found at first on the heads of
young chicks when only a few days old,
dark in color, efliptical in shape. about an
eighth of an inch long. with legs near the
head, and which moves slowly-a sort of
chicken tick, fastening themselves upon the
head Of the young chick, sucking its blood
till the poor chick dies if neglected; they
are easily detected and as easily guarded
against. When the chicks look pale about
the face, and go about chirping With feathers
on the head standing up, look for chicken
ticks. I have seen them only Il few DAYS
old, with only two or three ticks to be found
but thousands of nits on the top and front of
the head A little lard, applied two or three
times for Il week, will kill both ticks and the
eggs. using nothing but lard and Il very lit
lie yellow snuff Sulphur and lard is about
us sure to Kill the chicks as the ticks. | have
never seen anything Of the kind Oh hens.
Next comes the spider louse, OF red mite,
which iniests the coop OF be il old and young
i'll neglected quarters. at first they will not
be noticed, as they usually prey upon the
birds at night leaving them to hide away in
the cracks Of the coops through the day, and
tue owner will wonder why his chicks grow
no faster. lie feeds literally, says they are
not lousy, but they are poor and have tired
look. All the feed in the world will hot
counteract the effect Of these tormentors, and
unless cleaned out at once they will overrun
the premises beth night and day. Wash
everything with coal oil, and use limeN'ash
with a liberal dash of carbolic acid in it..
Next comes the long, grey body louse,
found Oh mature. fowls; these run rapidly,
are the largest of all and the lea4t trouble
some. 1.-THE fowls have q good dry dustiilg
