Although they're couple OF 'blues."

Than strong minded Beckerite .'views.''
Sach beauties seem made to be petted-
So smiling. bewitching and bright,
so daintily gloyed and rosetted,
Such Queens of the Dark and the Light
They prattle of "smartness of feather
AND talk about winning the toss;
ihey chatter Of "keeping together"
VI errors in "steering across"
Each ieel that her own crew is winning,
And speaks Of GLORIOUS squirt:
ihf5y know that to "catch the beginning"
Is good for o rower-or Hlrt!
When blue blades flash past on the river.
Then anxious are blue bedight girls:
In bosoms forget-me-nots shiyer,
And violets nestle in curls!

For tiny cerulean glove,
For drOplets of turquoise that culver
In ears OF the girl whom you love;
For the lazuli bracelet that presses
The wrist OF your own little pet,
For glory OF azure-twined tresses-
Pull hard for the blonde and brunette!
When oarsmen have ceased their appliance,
When finished the muscular fght,s
Will pluck and OxUnian science
Be conquered by "sweetness and Light?
Th0ugh fortune you fancy capricious,
Twill scarcely be cause for surprise
If violet's perfume delicious
Be vanquished by bright watchers eyes!

When YOU buy peaches do not throw away
the stones. save them until you have a con-
siderable quantity. Soak them in water a
few hours, to loosen the fruit remaining in
the dents; then scrub them clean with an old
tooth brush, and split them in two. Now
take an old two-quart tin basin, punch three
or more holes near the rim for suspending
cords, and one in the centre of the bottom
for drainage. Paint the basin inside or coat
it with melted rosin, to prevent rust, and GOV,
er the outside with putty. Press the half
peach stones firmly into the putty on the out
sde-putting the largest ones on the bottom,
and taking care not to cover the hole for
drainage. Now cover the whole with little
asphalfum dissolved in spirits of turpentine.
When the putty is dry, you will have very
handsome and unique hanging basket, resem-
bling carved work, rich enough to repay you
well for your trouble.-American Garden.

CATARRH.
A Remarkable Case of Catarrh Cured
nv the use Of Twelve Bottles.

We select the following as showing how fright
ful this disease may become, and as convincing
nroof of the value of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE as
reliable remedy for its cure, even in CAGES of the
greatest severity. We regret that, from motives OF
deicacy the gentleman declined to permit the use OF
his name:-
Case No. III This is the case OF man IN the
prime of life who had contracted this dlsease
through bad cold six years ago Favored py a
scrofuous condition of the blood the disease sent It's
acid pois into every part of the system. SO that
when he commenced the use Of SANFoRD's RAD1-
CAL CURE it had become of the worst cases ever
experienced by any living man. The discharge at
night was thick, pu,rid and streaked with blood and
SO excessive in quantity to discharge itself upon
the pillow during sleep, and collecting in quantities
in his thtoat, wound, at the point of strangulaion,
wake him Several times each night he was obliged
to get up and partially clear his nostrs and throat
before he could sleep From the use of the first
bottle of the RADICAL CURE to the present, the
cure has been gradual, satisfactory, and permanent
He has used in all twelve bottles, and ex-
periences no return Of the discharge any of its
disagreeable symptoms, besides enjoying unusually
good health otherwise.

Genttemen,-I have suffered ten years from tne
worst forms Of ACUTE CATARRH, OR COLD IN THE
HEAD that ever afflicted mortal man. Whenever l
took fresh cold it would settle in my head causing
the most violent sneezing, accompanied by excessive
discharges from my eyes and nose. For days and
days my suffering wonld be intense, and finally
settled in my loins and bowels, would render my life
miserable for MONTH Never, during all my suffer-
ings was able to obtain temporary relief from
any medicine ever tried. Three weeks ago, while
suffering from the worst attack 1 ever had, pro-
cured a bottle of SANFoRD's RADICAL CURE FOR
CATARRH. The relief from the first dose was SO
gratifying that 1 would willingly have given one
hundred dollars to obtain it, few doses complete
ly cured me- My head has since been perfectly free
from mucous accumulations, my breathing easy, and
not symptom of trouble about my back and bowels
has presented ITSELF Its effect in my has been
truly remarkable.

Eggs During Winter.

1t is by no means the cold weather that pre-
vents hens from laying, as it is frequently stat
ed or fancied. Many pullets-of many varie-
ties-will begin to lay their first litters in De-
cember or January, and very frequently the
Asiatics will lay ''al winter long," more or
less, after the month of November, as WE have
reason to know. But these "winter layers" of
any breed, are only those that have been hatch
ed early in the season. and who have success
fully gone through their moult, in the fall or
late summer. After they recover fairly from
the critical indisposition referred to they began
rapidly to make egg meat, and soon began to
lay W. so,,o.,uo. uo.s % 49,. ,,.
markable breed of fowls that some enthusiast
tic young fancier has become possessed of,
(which begins to lay invariably early in the
fall, and continues right on regularly, cold or
warm, through the winter and spring, and sue
variety indeed! We have never yet met with
any such fowls, and we never expect to- 1t is
entirely against Natures laws that any such
unusual occurrence should take place in domes-
tic poultry of any description.
That some varieties lay more eggs and some
less, we all know. But the process of egg
growing in the bird, and the natural laying of
that product are governed by fixed laws; and
there is no deviation from these laws. Hens
do not lay when they are moulting Feathers
t ran OUT ana new plumage forms during this
term, but no eggs are created then. If you get
your birds out early enough in the year to allow
them to pass their moult in midsummer, such
pulets will be likely to lay early in the follow
ing winter
If those fowls when year old pass safely
through the second moulting in the summer,
they will again lay early in the second winter,
and SO on. But never expect your late moult-
ing hens of any variety to lay eggs in winter
time. 1t is simply impossible The secret of
these winter laying fowls will be found to be
limited TO nose hens or pullets which are very
early Matched, and which first pass healthily
through the moulting in good season.-Fanci-

Longevity of Domestic Animals.

The average age OF the sheep is ten years up
to that age they will breed and thrive. There
are instances. however, of their living to a
more advanced age, and, in isolated cases, as
long as twenty years. Cows have an average
age of fifteen years, although, as with sheep
and other domestic animals, they often exceed
their allotted time. Rings on their horns indi-
cate their age after they arrive at the age of
three years. At four years old ringis formed
at the root Of the horn, and every succeeding
year another is added; thus by allowing three
years and adding thereto the number of rings
it is easy to arrive at the animals age. Hogs
have been known to live for thirty years, al
though their average age is much less. The
average of the horse is twenty wears. bnt as
beasts Of burden they rarely attain that age.
When kindly treated, however. and we'll pro-
yided for, they will exceed twenty, and in
stances are on record where they have lived to
