USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

LET us see the way in which boy of
ten years gets. up in the morning,
works. plays, studies, and we will tell
you just what kind of man he will
make. The boy that is late at break
fast and late at school, stands poor
chance to be prompt man. The boy
who neglects his duties, be they ever so
small, and excuses himself by saying,
81 forgot! didn't thinkr' will never
be a reliable man.-I0sOG State Register.
SETH GREEN has characteristic
remedy for mosquitoes, but one which
persons who live near salt water
marshes will scarcely find available.
He says: g If every man will look over
his own premises (if your neighbor will
not look over his look it over for him)
and empty all the water out or cover
up all vessels containing rain water,
you will not be troubled with them.
The wigglers in rain water are the
young mosquitoes. | have Matched
millions of them and fed them to young
fish. One key or barrel filled with
rain water and set in the sun will annoy
u whole neighborhood. Last week the
pest made their appearance in my
house. Yesterday l searched around
the neighborhood and did not hunt
long before found barrel full of rain
water and wigglers. explained it to
my neighbor, and he tipped the barrel
over, Knocked the other head out, and
said when it got dry he would make
kindling wood of it. My advice to all
is to do likewise, and you will not be
troubled with the pests"
A PIECE of information which NAV
be valuable to Western agriculturists
when another plague of locusts comes
upon them is contained in recent Ger
man book on Cyprus. by Franz Won
Loher. In that island one great scourge
of the farmers has hitherto been the
locust, but fortunately it has been got
rid of through the ingenuity of Nj. Mat
tel, a large landed proprietor at Lar
naca. Herr Loher says: He observed
that locusts were not able to creep up
smooth surface nor to keep Them
selves suspended in the air for any con-
siderable distance, and upon these two
facts he based his plan of exterminat-
ing them. He excavated bitches at
right angles to the direction of their
flight. behind which he placed low
screens of oil-cloth, linen or wood. The
locusts unable to creep up these screens,
fell back into the ditch, where they
were Immediately collected in sacks or
baskets. to be buried or covered over
with earth. Those among them who
managed to fly over the first screen
were intercepted by second or third.
These screens, having proved a perfect
success at Larnaca, were subsequently,
introduced into other parts of the island,
until not a single locust returned to the
breeding place, in The eastern part of
the island, and an end was put to the
fearful ravages of these insects.

In the course of your life you must
have seen great many things under
water?''
1.-The divers who work for wrecking
companies see many curious things and
have very strange experiences. l will
give you one instance by way of illus
tratiOn. You remember the wreck of
the Atlantic, on the coast of Maine?
Well, John O'Neil, the Eastport (Me }
diver, was employ ed to raise the bodies.
He made several descents, but failed to
open the cabin-doors. At last he sue
ceeded. As the cabin-door was opened,
the first thing he saw was two women,
fully dressed, suspended in the water.
The rush of water carried them toward
him and they appeared to be alive.
He stepped back in horror and it was
some time before he gained sufficient
courage to enter the cabin. There he
found the women, who were passen.
gers on that Inflated ship, kneeling and
holding each other by the hands, as if
they had been engaged in prayer when
the steamer went down. He then went
into the smoking-room. The cabin
was in the widest disorder. Chairs
and tables were turned upside-down.
bottles were scattered about and the
men lay on the floor, as if they had
persisted during drunken revel. Most
of them had pistols in their hands.
Scenes like this are common in sunken
vessels which carry passengers down

Can tho Truth Overtake a Lie,

Investigation discloses the fact that the lady
reported in the Associated Press dispatches,
about Aug. 10th, to have died in Chicago after
two weeks use Of some rsp,tted remedy for cor
pulency, had not taken Allan's Anti-Fat, but
had used preparation put up by regular
physician in Luzerne, Pa. Allan's Anti-Fat
is manufactured in Buffalo, N. Y, BY the un-
dersigned. We have already sold over ZOO, 900
bottles of it. It has therefore been taken by
thousands, and we challenge proof that it has
ever harmed any body, unless the reduction Of
obese persons from 20 to 60 pounds, leaving
them healthy and strong, is considered mis-
fortune. Furthermore, we hereby offer IS, 600
reward for evidence showing that it contains
poisonous or injurious ingredients. We also
offer 8, OO Il We cannot prove that It has re-
and always without injury. It is said . lie
will out-travel the truth any time; but We
trust that those newspapers that have mieled
the public by saying that physicians attribute
the lady's death to the use Of Anita (which
is only put up by us, the term "Anti-Fat'
being our trade-mark), will correct the false
impression they have conveyed, by publishing
this refutati0n.

Dear boys and girls, let me entreat
you to love and cherish the hallowed
words and precepts of your God-fearing
mother; try and make her path bright
and sunny in her pilgrimage to the bet

the home-circle here on earth; and
then, when you miss her so much, how
sweet it will be to remember that YOU
were a joy and comfort to her in her
declining days.-Harry Valent, in ST.

Roses In Pots.

The ever-blooming roses are best for
house culture in pOts-because they
bloom quicker and more continuously
than any of the others, and beside this,
their style and habit of growth is more
bushy and better adapted to the pur-
pose. They can be kept nicely with
other growing plants, and with proper
attention to their requirements will
bloom freely. ~ DO not use too large
pots-if possible, not more than three
or four inches. The rule is, one size
larger than the plants have been grown
in. The smaller the pot-provided of
course. it is large enough to contain
the plant-the quicker and stronger
the plant will start. 1t is very difficult
to get small plant to live and grow
in large pot. A rose will not bloom
much till the pot is we'll filled with
roots; therefore, small pots facilitate
quick bloom. If the pots are old, they
should first be thoroughly washed; e
new. they should be soaked in water,
otherwise they will absorb the moisture
from the plant. (2) Have good rich soil
mellow and friable. That made from
old decomposed sods is best. If manure
is used, it should be old and thorough
ly composted; fresh manure is iniuri-
GUS. (O Put some bits of broken
crockery, charcoal, or other similar
material. in the bottom of each pot to
facilitate drainage. then enough fine
earth to raise the plant to q proper
height. It should not be much deeper
than it was before. Next put in the
plant and spread out its roots as near
their natural position as possible; then
fill in fine earth and press firmly down
with the hand. When done, the pot
should not be quite full; q little space
is needed for water. (4) When first
potted. water thoroughly, and if the
sun is strong, shade for few days;
then give full light and air. Though
the plant should not be allowed to
wither for want of water, the earth
should get moderately dry before wa
tering again. Too much water is worse
than not enough. Very little water is
needed until the plant starts to grow

er Of short or long standing. He refers to the
entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases singh dose has
been sufficient for cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per.
fectrestoration of the general health. It is,
however, prudent, and in every case more GER
tain to cure, If its use il continued in smaller

been checked, more especially in difficult and

will not require any aid to keep the bowels in

three OF four doses of the Tonic. single dose Of
