The mortality statistics Of this country
show that a great proportion Of deaths arise
from Heart Disease. But asid. from the
atallty which attends it, the inconvenience
and suffering which even the first stages
bring make it necessary to take prompt

which is accomplishing such wonderful re-
suits and attracting so much attention
This great remedy possesses ingredients
specially designed for all the numerous trout

can be safely asse ted that when taken in
time it will cure in every case. Do you ever
have Nightmare, oppressed feelings in side
and breast, Irregular Action, Throbbing,
Jumping, Fluttering, Momcntary stopping,
Slow Circulation of the Bloody These are
all symptoms of Heart Disease. Those who
are suffering and havo never tried it should

Papa Don't Bury me Deep"

IN the Spring Of 1860 a little girl
died OF consumption in Frederick City,
aged eight years three months. A
few days before she died she called
her father to her bedside and said.
"Papa, when die don't bury me deep
mot more than 50 deep" holding up
her tender and emaciated arm and
measuring from her shoulder out.
ssOh, it is so hard to DO put down SO
deep in the cold, damp ground and
please don't place any marble slab on
my grave, it will be 90 dark under it
and will press SO heavy on my little
breast. Sod my grave nicely, and
plant tree at my head, sc. that the
wild birds can gather in its branches
and sing for me. But it seems to me
/ would rather have our own birds
sing for mo than tho wild birds.
Couldn't you let little brother Willie
and sister Emma bring our cage OF
little birds out to the cemetery every
Sunday morning and leave them to
sing for me all dayi When you are
al at church in town it won't seem so
lonesome out by myself" A few DAYS
alter this Anna died, and her affec-
tionate parent did everything she re-
qussted. She was buried shallow, the
grave nicely sodded and q tree planted
st its heed. And still every Sunday
morning Willie and Emma car ho

For and About Women:

The patents issued in America to women
for the year ending July, 1880, numbered
seventy, ten more than the average. Most
of the inventions Of women have to do with
household appliances.
An English acmirer of the dahlis from
almost it's infancy" or fifty years ago, has
mourned because this flower has fallen so
low in estimation of the present generation,
and now writes to The Gardeners Chron-
icle rejoicingly that at last o revival in ite
favor has fairly set in"
It has become SO common in this fast
age" ito marry in haste and repent ut leis-
ure, that the wonder to thinking mind
is, that there are any loving, peaceful homes.
It strikes an old woman that one reason
why there are so many unloved wives and
miserable homes is the want of co-opera-
ton between husband and wife.
There is large number Of varieties Of
passion flowers, Of which only two OF three
are hardy. Passif0ra cerulea, . species
with white end blue flowers is hardy; an
other, Passiq0ra Colvillii, with variegated
flowers, and another PassUqora Qlanco-
phylla, having blue flowers, are the only
hardy varieties. The hardy kinds require
shelter and protection in the winter.
If you have q Gala lily that is in bad or

A Mouse In q Connecticut School.
From tho Waterbury American.

A mouse came near breaking up school
in the Center district yesterday. Trotting
about on the floor, the children spied him,
and buzz of whispers called the teachers
attention: Now, children" said she,
in a kind and motherly way, keep very
quiet, every one Of you. Don't move nor
say q word if the mouse comes toward
you. He is perfectly harmless" The
scholars were very quiet and watched the
capers of the mouse lreathlessly. The
teacher had scarcely finished her brave ad-
dress when mousey ran directly for her and
began to walk over her feet. This was too
much, and the preaching was turned into
practice which refuse to drove-tail, as it
we're. In short, the teacher screamed and
yelled with fright, and ran as if pack of
red ladders we're in mad pursuit. The
whole school hereupon became uproarious,
and the mouse was boss Of the situation.
Tho little fellow was SO delighted that he
stood upon his hind legs and danced o
hornplpe, and then skedaddled through
the doorway, leaving the teacher and her
dckled pupils in peculiar state Of mind.

Winteriny Bees i'd vermont.

Mrs l. Harrison, In Prairie Farmer.
Mr. 1de is one of the few who wintered
his bees successfully last winter. His hives
are furnished with glass window in the side
and he houses them before the weather is
cold enough to CONCEAL moisture upon the
glass. His winter repository is . cellar,
walled with stone and oemented on the bot
tom and contains one window. We gave It
careful inspection, and found Q wooden
shaft extending to the bottom which had
an opening there, which could be opened
or closed at pleasure, admitting fresh air
from without. This receptacle is used for
bees only, and is partihoned of from the
main cellar, and kept perfectly dark, at q
temperature varying from thirty-6ve to
forty degrees. The hives are placed upon
shelves around the sides, and if the bees
get to warm, the window is opened at night
to admit cool air and closed during tho day.
Sometimes the bees remain here in the
spring until pollen is to be gathered, with
out flight, and then come out in fne con-
diton. The proprietor informed us that il
he were able he would carry out his bees
during warm day in spring to his barn.

duce marked effect on the growth of

it often fails to produce any apprcciable

difference in the composition or elements

to three hundred pounds Of salt per acre
on his grain, even if it produces no other
effect than destroying a certain number Of
noxious insects.
