WISE WORDS.

1t is remarkable how much more in
dignant we may become at another per.
sons faults than our own.
Happiness is always the inaccessible
castle which sinks in ruin when We set
foot on it.
Cheerfulness is an excellent wearing
quality. 1t has been called the bright
weather of the heart.
Impoliteness is derived from two
sources-indifierence to the divine and
contempt for the human.
Faith has vision of its own, but no
light in which it can distinguish objects
except the light of prayer.
Each man sees over his own expert
ence certain stain of error, whilst that
Of other men looks fair and ideal.
They that will not be counseled can
not be helped. If you do not hear
reason, she will rap your knuckles.
They say fortune is woman, and
capricious. But sometimes she is good
woman, and gives to those who merit.
Count up mans calamities and who
would seem happy? But in truth ca
lamity leaves fully half of your life I'M
touched.
"To acquire a few tongues" says a
French writer, "is the task of few
years; but to be eloquent in one is the
labor OF n life"
The dishonest man gives no more
oight in the world than tallow candle,
and when he dies he leaves as bad an
odor behind him.
Considering the unforeseen events of
this world, W should be taught that no
human condition should inspire men
with absolute despair.
30 willing to do good in your own
way. We need none of us be disturbed
if we cannot WELD another's weapons.
But our own must not rust.

Best liulchtng NIuferiaI.

Mulch is placed about plants to pre-
vent the sun from evaporating the mois-
ture. In many cases it takes the place
of cultivation. No doubt, if it were
not for the expense and trouble, it
would be more extensively used about
herbacoous plants. We have found in
onr trying climate that fine mulch
of manure, completely covering the
ground, is an excellent thing for bed
ding plants. With trees and shrubs
serious objection to the use of mulch is
its liability to harbor mice, which may
injure or destroy the plants. For straw
berries mulch is used to keep the fruit
clean as it lipens, and to protect the
plants in winter and spring. For straw
berries we have had the best success in
applying the mulch quite late in au-
tumn, and in leaving the materials thin
enough over the plants to barely
expose few of the leaves. The more
changeable and severe the season the
greater the need of mulch, and
mulch in generous quantity. There
is O great variety of materials employed
for mulching. have heard of the use of
beach sand or fine gravel with excellent
results. The inexperienced gardener can
try old clover hay, as have done, and
get good crop Of thrifty young clover
to kill out the next spring or he can
employ rich timothy or June grass, and
soon find the ground seeded with a crop
he was not prepared for. Or, again, if
he like better, in the spring he can
mulch with cat straw not half threshed,
Or full of chaff containing oats still
plenty. Then he can dig young oat
plants all summer among the strawber-
ries. Digging out the young plants of
clover, grasses, oats, etc, is healthful ex-
ercise, and stirring the soil Will not
hurt the strawberry plants. 1 once tried
all the above methods. I also tried
crest leaves, for autumn mulch, adding
corn stalks to hold them down, and
thought had good thing. In spring,
after an open, windy winter, the leaves
were not to be found. A few at time
they had blown away. Having tried all
these to my satisfaction, l now prefer
clean straw (old or new) or marsh hay
or corn-fodder cut two inches long, less
or more. Pine shavings get into the
soil and are a nuisance. The same OBJ
lection may be urged against tan bark
or any other material which does not
decay readily and help to enrich the
soil.--Prof. j. W. Bea'.

How Snakes are Shipped.

Snakes are shipped from Africa and
South America to the United States in
bags. These bags are inclosed in tight
boxes so that the serpents have neither
food nor sea air during their passage.
Their chief ailment at their arrival is
canker in the mouth. Treatment con-
sists in grasping the snake just back on
the head, forcing its mouth open by
pressing on the nose, and then taking a
sharp stick, removing the canker and
applying British oil to the wound.

THE PATRONS OF PONDS EXTRACT are eau.

coctions offered to the public as being equal
to this far famed, old-established remedy.
DO NOT BE DECEIVED by similarity of odor
and appearance. These limitations cannot in
any instance be compared with PONDS EN-
TEACT.
THIS GREAT CURATIVE is always of steady
and uniform character. The extensive faci
tiles for the manufacture ofPond's Extract en-
ables the company to guarantee this, while
the imitator does not produce the same result
twice in succession.
THE TRUE SECRET of the manufacture OF
Ponds Extract is too well guarded and too
wisely transmitted TO escape.
SOME UNSCRUPULOUS TKADESMEN, desir-
ousof making larger proht,are in the ha bit OF
stating to their customers who ask for
Ponds Extract, that they do not keep il in
bottles, but have it in bulk.
THIS COMPANY is MOST SOLICITOUS to pro-
tect their patrons from this dishonorable trick,
resorted to for the purpose of palming on on
the public cheap decoction that can not in
any way compare in purity and quality with
this old-established remedy.
SOME OF OUR RFRIENDSare in the habit oftaking
old Ponds Extract bottles TO the druggists to
be refllled. No dealer can refill bottle with
genuine Ponds Extract except by emptying
another bottle
THE PONDS EXTRACT COMPANY will feel
