To ALI Our Friends.

Having had numberless inquiries for adver-
Using cards from ladies in all parts of the
country who are interested In the prevailing
fashion of making 'Card Collections" we are
having printed for them set of seven beauti-
full cards, each in six colors and on a gold
background, in the very highest degree of art
Illustrating Shakespeare's ''Seven Ages of Man"
We have spared no expense in the cards
they are simply art-gems. Our only aim
has been to publish the finest cards yet shown.
Application for them have come in SO rapidly
that nearly the whole edition is engaged before
the receipt by us of the cards from the artist.
We have therefore been obliged to adopt the
following plan for the distribution of the re-
mainder: No more of the gilt Shakespeare cards,
seven in the series, will be sent excepting upon
the receipt of a statement from grocer that
the person applying for the cards has bought
of him on that day at least seven bars of
Dobbins' Electric Soap, with price paid for
same. AL applying in this manner aoiu receive
the full set of seven cards gratis by mail. This
will insure us that our friends and patrons get
their share of these beautiful designs, although
it In no manner repays Us for the cost Of the
cards. Your grocer has the soap or will get it,
and the purchase by you of seven bars of it at
one time will secure for you gratis seven really
beautiful cards. The soap improves with age,
and is an article of necessity in your house
every week. Therefore you are not asked to
buy useless article, but one that you must
have anyway. Please send us your appica-
tons at once, and tell your lady friends making
"Card Collections" to do the same. Grocers
do not have the cards to deliver. Buy the soap
of them, send us their bill, and we will mail you
the cards free. Yours respectfully, I. L. CRAa1N
Co., 116 South 4th Street, Philadelphia, Pa.
P. S.-Ladies not wishing to buy soap can get
the cards by renting cost price, 25 cents.

The Wronu Box.
From the Washington Republican

From the Washington Republican,
In fact, Alexander McFoggle was en-
gagged and was looking forward to the
near future to consummate his happiness.
But the Christmas season, which brings
JOY and happiness to many, brought
only sorrow to the bright anticipations
of Alexander. On the day before, after
really painful consideration of various
articles which it would be appropriate
and possible for him to present as a
Christmas gift to his intended bride, in
an evil moment he was attracted by the
brilliant display of of neighboring
drug store. Here Japanese cawiO,
combining the features of utter useless
ness and great pretensions, occurred to
him as just the article he needed, and,
after paying for the same, he joyfully
asked the druggist to put it in box
and send it tomorrow to the residence of
the lady for whom it was intended.
This was done, and by little judicious
man@uvering Alexander happened to be
on hand at the precise moment the box
arrived. With eager but concealed emo
tons he noted her surprise, and watched
her deft fingers as they united the
strings and brought the box to view. It
was but moment, and then shrek
greeted his astonished ears, the box was
hurled violently at his head, and the re-
treating form of the young lady, in a
paroxysm of tears, vanished up the STAIR
way. Astounded at this treatment, and
not knowing what to think, Alexander
picked up the box, and, gazing at the
lid, was Mortified to read, in large capt.
tai letters, these solemn words: GONE
GRoss OF SMALL NIPPLES The drug
clerk had thrown another risk upon the
market, and Alexander McFoggle is now
a wanderer upon the face of the earth.

SEASoNABLE FARM NOTES.

DoN'T pile manure around the stems
or body of your fruit trees.
1T is estimated that not one acre of
every twenty of corn in Kossuth county,
Kansas, has yet been gathered in.
No live stock on the farm will pay as
well In winter as flock of hens proper
~ managed. Farmers, look to this, and
give your fowls the same care that you
give to other stock, and you will never
have cause to complain that "hens eat
more in the winter than all the eggs they
lay in year would pay for.
Iris just as easy to have eggs to sell
in winter as in summer, and great
deal more profitable. It is just as nat
ural for hens to lay in winter as it is for
COWS to give milk in winter. Give your
fowls comfortable houses and with
proper food and care they will lay be-
cause they can not help themselves.
MANY farmers injure their farm nipple
ments more by exposure to the weather
than by the use on the farm. An i'm
plement which with good care would
last twenty years, will, when exposed
to the weather, become useless in five
with good usage, would last almost a
lifetime, will last only few years when
exposed to the weather
WEEDS in the walks about an English
residence says the New York Tribune
are suppressed by the use of arsenic
and water sprinkled from a zinc tank
mounted on wheels. Three pounds of ar
senic are boiled in three gallons of water
and when cold several gallons of water
are added. This amount of poison is
found to destroy all vegetation for the
year on a walk nine feet wide and ninety
feet long.
UNLESS seed corn has been selected
with care it is useless to look for large
yields. It is not very costly matter
for each farmer to procure half dozen
varieties of corn which in other places
heknows to have yielded heavily. These
may be planted on small plots 33x33 feet
square (one-fortieth of an acre), on diff
ferent parts of the farm, and the most
prolific kinds thus determined for future
use.
A MODERATE quantity of cayenne pep
per, mustard or ginger can, with great
benefit, be added to the food of fowls to
increase their vigor, and to stimulate egg
production. This diet, although APP
parently artificial, is really natural; for
wild birds of the gallinacean family have
access to many highly spiced berries
and buds articles that give the "game
flavor" to their flesh. Although there
is more or less of an aromatic principle
in wheat, Indian corn and other grains
consumed by the domestic fowl, yet the
quantity is not sufficient to supply the
place of the stronger spices, taste for
which is inherited by the fowl.
The proportion of nutritive matter in
one hundred pounds Of the following sub
stances is as follows:

Flesh E;

The whole of these amounts may not
be digestible, but they serve to give a
good idea of their relative value.
TREES, shrubs and roses should be
protected by putting long straw around
the body and branches, tied well with
cord, so as to prevent growth in the
month of March, or warm weather to-
ward spring. In many parts of this
country the cold weather, after a COM
mencement of growth, destroys more
trees and roses than colder weather in
earlier part of winter. Those who OBJ
serve the above directions will be very
certain to keep their trees and shrub
berry alive, and it is only few minutes
work in proportion to the investment.
Trees recently set are not SO much in
danger from severe cold weather as the
( sudden changes, and protection until ac-
clmated Is absolutely necessary.
WHEN hogs are being fattened in pens
there should always be two apartments,
the one for feeding and the other for
sleeping in. The one should be cleaned
daily, and the other kept well Uttered
with straw, and the straw renewed as
often as the nest becomes very dirty.
When first penned, mix with the feed of
each hog at least three or four times a
week a teaspoonful of sulphur and also a
teaspoonful of pulverized copperas.
Feed regularly three times daily. A
rubbing post In the inclosure will be of
advantage. Also plaeein trough under
shelter q mixture of rotten wood, pull
verized charcoal, ashes and salt. These
methods or an open range are indespen-
sable to the good health of the herd.

30 MAY | JOIN THE CHOIR INVISIBLE"
BY GEORGE ELIOT.

G may join the choir invisible
Of those immortal dead that live again
In minds made better by their presence: live
In pulses stirred to generosity,
In deeds of daring rectitude, in scorn
For miserable aims that end with self,
In thoughts sublime that pierce the night like stars
And with their wild persistence urge mans search
To vaster issues.
So to live in heaven;
To make undying music in the world,
Breathing as beauteous order that controls
With growing sway the growing lie OF man.
SO we inherit that sweet purity
For which we struggled, failed, and agonized
With widening retrospect that bred despair.
Rebellious flesh that would not be subdued,
A vicious parent shamlng still Its child
Poor anxious penitence is quick dissolved,
its discords quenched by meeting harmonies,
Die in the large and charitable air.
And oil our rarer, better, truer self,
That sobbed religiously in yearning song,
That watched to ease the burden of the world
Laborousy tracing what must be,
And what may yet be better-sav within
A worther image for the sanctuary
And shaped it forth before the multitude
Divinely human, raising worship so
To higher reverence more mixed with love-
That better self shall live till human time
Shall fold its eyelids and the human sky
Be gathered like scroll within the tomb
Unread forever.
This is life to come,
Which martyred men have made more glorious
For us who strive to follow. May reach
That purest heaven, be to other souls
The cup of strength in some great agony,
Enhindle generous ardor, feed pure love, s.
Beget the smiles that have cruelty
Be the sweet presence of good diffused,
And in diffusion ever more intense.
So shall join the choir invisible
Whose music is the gadness of the world.
