| To Farmers.
Partridge Bros, the enterprising druggists in
Augusta, being large dealers in Paris Green,
have issued a circular for free distribution TO
farmers, on the destruction of the Colorado pota-
to bug pest, from which we clip the following d.
rections for saving the potato crop by the use OF
Paris Green:
Put table spoonful in pail Of water. Stir
occasionally while applying to the potato vines,
TO keep the Green well mixed with the water
Thus prepared it can be put on the hills with a
fine sprinkler; but better and more economical
method of applying it is to take small corn
broom or whsk, or anything that will spaher
well. dip into the Paris Green water and sprinkle
on each hill. One pound economically used will
save an acre of potatoes. 1t should be applied
as soon the slugs appear, as these do the most
damage In the West the application of Paris
Green is as much an incident of raising potatoes
as planting and hoeing. 1t is perfectly safe to
handle when used in this manner, and there need
be fear OF poisoning the potatoes, as Paris
green is a chemical compound of copper and ar
senc, which is decomposed by contact with the
earth Chemists who have made practical inves
LEGATIONS on this subject, state that an application
of even two hundred or three hundred pounds to
the acre will produce trace of poison in pota-
toes raised on that ground. Where potatoes are
raised on large scale, sprinkler for applying il
is sometimes rugged on small wheels to haul be.

Imperishable Memories.

You are no longer a child; you have
long since put away childish things. Yet
YOU may now own to your most intimate
friend how often the remembrances of
your earliest childhood are uppermost in
your mind. They come in fragments
like tom bits of some bright picture, and
at times when those about you deem you
immersed and absorbed in the important
concerns of life. You may be states
man, lawyer, editor, merchant, physician,
Clergyman, soldier; the attention of ha
ton may be concentrated upon you; hun
dreds, thousands may be under your EN-.
pIoy or government; you are fighting
great legal battles; your commerce cx.
tends to the uppermost parts Of the earth ;
The treaties you are writing reaches the
profoundest depths of philosophy, science
or theology; the editorial you prepare to-
day may change the policy of a govern
ment; your face may be reflex of the
hard, stern practicalities of life, yet in the
very thick and press of your business, as
you take your seat il court, as you as
cend the pulpit steps, as you see the good
ship Washington laden with a thousand
tons of grain disappear in the ocean mists,
bound for Constantinople, there may have
mingled with these important concerns
some memory of your earliest childhood
the flower you plucked, the dirt pies you
made, the little sled and the first remem.
bered snow storm, the gilt watch and
chain, the frst pair of pantaloons, the low
bench at the infant school, and there
comes with all these, proud, busy, man
as you are, a warmth, glow of old, and
perhaps dear rccolection-a living over
in memory of childish days, a wish that
for the moment you can jump from all this
turmoil, care and perplexity into your
first jacket and trousers, and be child
again.
The world imagines that naught but
the greater matters engaged your atten-
ton, and you think the same OF. the
world about; you would deem it mo't
frivolous and puerile to talk to any one
about the wooden horse you found in your
first Christmas stocking, yet you cannot
rid yourself of this and other recollections.
They are indelible and part of you;
possibly in time you may realize that
when wee toddling infant, looking out
with wondering eyes upon the world,
feeling the force of u thousand surround
ing events and situations, which you
could not shape into words, as impress
ible to the characters of men and women
as you are to-day, knowing far more and
judging more than you were given credit
for, you were still as the germ of the
future man or woman, being of more
importance than you were accredited
with by others or yourself. The acorn
has that quality and power which under
certain conditions gathers to itself what
makes the stately eak, as the infant
gathers from events and surroundings
what makes the future man or woman.--

How to Save Our Boys.

Parents are often at loss TO know how to
keep their boys from going the broad road
TO ruin. Many homes are without books or
anything to interest the young, hence they
seek entertainment abroad, and II is no won =
der that they join the great army of "hood-
mms." In another place will be found an
advertisement containing a list of books sent
to the most remote parts Of the United States,
postpaid, on receipt Of price. The descrip-
ton, which in most cases follows the title of
each book gives some idea of its character.
From this long list people of all kinds can
find something to interest and instruct.
Some OF these books are well suited for
presents, and all Of them are worthy of Il
place in any family library.
