Apra comes from the Latin verb aperife to
open, for it is the month of opening buds
The Saxons called il Ooster or Easter month,
and the Dutch Grass month. May flows to
us from an old, obsolete root Simplifying to
grow. The origin of June appears to be un-
known. JuIy speaks to us of that old Ro-
man tyrant, Julius Caesar, who was born on
its twelfth day and august helps us to re-
member his successor the Emperor Augustus,
who was repeatedly favored by fortune our
ing this month. Originally it had only 30
days but Augustus had no idea Of being out
done by Caesar, SO he took a day from Febru-
airy and added it to August, so as to give that
month 81 days, the same as July.
September, the seventh month according to
the old Roman Calendar, takes its name from
the Latin numera, septena, seven. The Sax
ons called it barley-month. October in a like
manner, is from octo eight, and Nogember
from nooem nine. The Saxons called the lat
ter "blood- month";" from the slaughter OF
cattle for winter use. December comes from

SO much would neither make nor
break man. But with twenty head
of cattle to feed twice or thrice q
day, the saving of handful apiece,
every time, would amount to some
thing before the pastures are green
again upon our frOst-bitten hills. Do
you ever think Of it? We are moi
limiting at stinting the cattle. But
how many of us allow animals to
waste a handful each at every feed,
for want of q little attention to feed.

from internal liberation, and Uterine
disease, Syphilitic and Mercurial dis
eases, Dropsy, Dyspepsia, Emaciation,

This Sarsaparilla is combination of
vegetable alternatives - Stillingia, Man
drake, Yellow Dock with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the most
efficacious medicine yet known for
the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are so skilfully com.
bined, that the full Alternative effect OF
each is assured, and while it is SO mild
as to be harmless even to children, it is
still SO effectual as to purge out from the
system those impurities and corruptions
which develop into loathsome disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence which
prominent physicians all over the coun.
try repose in it, prove their experience
of its usefulness. - sF
Certificates attesting its virtues have
accumulated, and are constantly being
received, and as many of these cases are
publicly known, they furnish convincing
evidence IF the superiority Of this Sar
saparilla over every other Alternative
medicine. So generally is its superb
ority to any other medicine known, that
we need do no more than to assure the
public that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

Bob Inpersoll on Drurn,ners.

dob" Ingersoll addressed the farm
ers at Malone, N. Y, the other day.
and he gave them such q talking to as
New York farmers never before
heard. Speaking about the means
by which some portion Of our vast
prosperity was brought about, the
Colonel said:
Every man that could get $500
worth of goods on trust became a
merchant. They wanted to be dem
lists, lawyers, MISUNDERSTANDING
that there was no work in. When
they could not do that they would
start an assurance association. Then
they sent their agents all over the
country to get your property insured,
to get your life insured, and every
moment you would have . picture of
a coffin thrust in your face to see il
you wouldn't insure. And those
agents would come and sit down by
you and talk about your last struggle
with that monster-death. They got
q certain share of the premium, and
they insured any body. They insured
consumption in its last hemorrhage
and the money flowed into the socie'
l. y. Az soon as the fellows began tc
die the company closed its doors
They they had fire insurance compa
mics. The agents of these also had Z
share of the premiums, and l tell YOU
that for six, eight, or ten years they
would have insured an iceberg il
perdition. Then the merchants filled
all the cars aud all the hotels and bar,
with runners and drummers. Every
man that you met had three carpe
sacks filed with samples. And in thu
meantime we had the Bankrupt law
SO that every man who couldn't pa!
his debts might take the benefit o
this law. Then it all went to thu
clerks. ETC., of the courts. / neveI
heard of any body getting more thai
3 per cent on any claim in my life.

An Error in Window Gardening

A very common error in window
gardening is that of attempting too
much. Too many plants are crowd
ed into the little space at command,
SO that it is impossible to give each
the air and light it should have.
Again plants of two diverse character
are brought together. 1t is no un-
common thing to see tropical plants
and those from the temperate zone, if
not Alpine plants, all crowded into
the same window, and subjected TO
the same temperature and treatment.
Better far to have one healthy well
grown plant, that will yield its flow
cas- in perfection, than dozen sick
ly, feeble, wretched plants, that have
no beauty either of leaf or blossom.
