The Outset in the World.

Don't be discouraged if, in the
outset of life, things do not 60 on
smoothly. 1t seldom happens that
the hopes we cherish for the future
are realized. The path of life ap-
pears smooth and easy; but when
we come to travel it, we find it up
hill, and generally smart enough.
Don't be discouraged underany cir.
cumstances. Go steadily forward.
Rather consult your own conscien-
ces than the opinion men, though
the latter is not to be disregarded.

Guilty of Wrong.

Some people have a fashion of con-
fusing excellent remedies with the
large mass of "patent medicines"
and in thisthey are guilty of awrong.
There are some advertised remedies
fully worth all that is asked for them,
and one at least we know of-Hop
Bitters. The writer has had occa-
sion to use the Bitters in Just such a
climate as we have most of the year
in Bay City, and has always found
them to be first class and reliable, do
ing all that is claimed for them

The Deadly Linden.

Asst. Louis physician says the
linden tree is dangerous to health,
being like the deadly upas tree of
the East. The st. Louis doctor has
been making Investigations, and he
says: "Just in the spring when the
sap was about to rise [ wounded my
trees in several places and collected
the exudihg gum carefully. I
found in it a new and singular aka
loid to which we;gaTe the name of
'lindoline,, and Which fully justified
my fears. LISA most deadly poison
some akin to the curare or WOO
reli poison of South America. A
very smallinoculation upon the skin
ola cat made with needle simply
dippedin the lindoline killed the an
imal in eighteen seconds. 1t acts as
a nerve eXcitant ofgreat power and
has real value in the materia med.
lea as an antidote to morphine pois-
oning and other cases of that kind;
but it:must be greatly diluted in or
der to do anything Of this kind, as
it is intensely viruIent. lam quite
sure that a pin scratch touched with
lindoline would kill a man in q
couple of minutes of course, like all
poisons of this kind it is not ,opes
tenth as effective in the stomach as
when inoculatcd, still it is Of course
deadly" .L 81

Storing Potatoes.

Dampness undoubtedly favors the
growth Of the potato disease, and
therefore, where there is any chance
at'ali Of the disease existing in the
roots, they ought to be stored as dry
as possible. Those which are to be
kept in this general way should be
dry and cool, but this should be es.
pecially seen to in the case of seed
potatoes. Since the potato beetle
came among us it is clear that we
have the very best results from early
planting and by the use of the ear.
liest varieties, Now these early
kinds are more easily affected by
warmth than the late ones. They
sprout easily and GOODNESS is, there.
fore, more essential for them. Some
people think that it makes but little
difference whether seed potatoes
sprout or not before planting. We
have known people to tear offsprouts
several inches long and cut up the
tubors in full faith that they will
sprout again and be none the worse
for it. They do generally grow, but
there is little doubt but they are
constitutionally weaker and much
more liable to disease than those
which do not sprout till ready to go
in the ground.-G Germantown Telegraph.
