Early last summer Messrs. IS, j. Kendall a
Co., of Enosburgh Falls, VT, made a contract
with the publishers of the Press for half
column advertisement setting forth tho merits
of kendal's SPAWN euro. for one year. At
the same time we secured from the firm IL
quantity OF books entitled Dir. Kendall's Treat
ise on che Horse and his Diseases, which we
are now giving 10 advance paying subscribers
to the Press as u premium.
ABOUT the time the advertisement first APP
peared in this paper. MIR. T.. G.. Schermerhorn,
who resides near Golfers, concluded TO test the
efficacy Of the remedy, although his friends
laughed at his erednity. lie bought bottle
Of Rendall's SPavia Cure and commenced
using it on the horse in accordance with the
directions, and he informed us this week thai
it effected such q complete cure that an expert
horseman who examined the animal recently
could lind no trace of the SPAWN or the place
where il haze been located Mr. SehermeI horn
has since secured a copy of Kendall's treatise
on the Horse and his Diseases which he prizes
very highly and would be 10th to part with
at any price, provided he could not obtain
another copy, somuch for advertising relia-

Prof. Hendrickson on the subject OF
teachers institute. This is some
thing that is much needed in every
county, and about the only means
by which the standard of teachers
may be elevated. I'VE need more eff
ficient and thorough instruction and
a higher educational standard, and
better equipped teachers, and if the
teachers will organize an institute
and enforce its regulations, these
ends may be attained. We earnest
" urge all the teachers in the county
to comply with Prof. Hendrickson's
request, and work up this matter
at once. Let us have the institute
organized this summer.

Two rare plants have lately been
added to the Conservatory of Cor
nell University. One, which is called
the insect plant, is known botanically
as the Schimus MOLE. 1t is a pretty
shrub that grows in the warmer
parts of South America. 1t resem-
bles our native sumac, but has aro-
matte leaves. When some of the
leaflets are placed in water they be-
gin to dart about upon the surface
like so many aquatic. Insects. The
explanation Of this is that the leaves
contain numerous sacs of volatile
oil, which explode, when brought in
contact with water. The oil is then
expelled with such violence as to
cause the insect like movement. The
other plant is specimen Of the Mag
nifora inliea, or the mango tree OF
India, which bears kidney. shaped
fruit about four inches long. The
fruit is much esteemed as an article
Of fool in the tropics, but it requires
some time to get used to it, as it has
q flavor OF turpentine. Under hot
house culture the plants seldom have
fruit.
1t is feared that some trouble Of
very serious nature will arise in the
Mexican church. That church is
full OF corruption now and il the
trouble will reform her let the trou-
bic come.

ing and taking care of them at the
end of the season, / started into
growth some sunfower seeds. To
prevent too much shade I cut off
the leaves of the sunfower as far
above the tomato plant as is neces-
sary to give it all the air and sun
light desirable. The Russian sun
flower, because of its very tall
growth, is the best for this pur-
pose. The sunfower makes the
best and most profitable stake, be-
cause it is so easily obtained-no
loosening in the ground or breaking
of stakes when loaded with fruit,
and the seeds of the flower, which
are better than corn for poultry,
abundantly pay for all the time and
labor in caring for them. The
leaves of the sunflower also make
good fodder. The Russian sunfow-
er also makes an excellent bean
pole, though it is not necessary to
start early as for tomatoes, as a
growth of one and one half feet by
the end of June (bean-planting
time) is all that is needed Coun-

Only Pray.

If little child should come up
to its father and commence adj
dressing him thus: 80, father, 1
acknowledge thee to be my parent
very strong, exceedingly wise and
wonderfully good; thou ownest all
this house and rulest thy family
with equity; thou hast brought me
up from infancy, furnished my food
and clothing ETC.; and finally af-
ter going on thus, telling his father
what he had done, could do and
would do to the extent of ten min
utes or more, would end by asking
for penny-that child would be
very likely to have its ears boxed.
And it can be nothing but the in
finite grace and long-suffering of
our Father in Heaven that saves
some of the long -winded, pompous,
theological propounders of prayer,
that are so frequently heard from
pulpit and pew, from receiving mer-
tied rebuke and chastisement from
Him. 1t can be nothing else.
Therefore, when you pray do not
aver your theology, do not do any
thing else than pray Moravian.

Pure Air.

While an adult needs from seven
to ten cubic feet of air each minute,
that the lungs may have full sup
ply and purify the blood in the best
possible manner, it is quite certain
that some, at least those in our
close offices, our small bedrooms,
where about one-t third of our time is
spent, and which contain only
enough air to sustain the sleepers
for about half an hour, secure but a
meagre supply. And while the
present supply would suffice for a
population a thousand times greater
than the present, and while there
are active agencies constantly re-
storing the vitiated air to its origi-
nal purity, it is by no means need
aful that we should limit our lungs
to a small amount. Breathe freely
and deep of it by day and by night
the night air is not poison-and
it will prove one of the best ''tenics,"
"blood purityer," food for the
healthy, and medicine for the sick,
free to the poor and rich.-Ex.

Loving kindness 70 Children.

1t is always to the credit of man
to show kindness to a child. If you
see a man on the street, or a rail
way car, taking pains to help or
crafty child, it gives you at once
a better estimate of him. A man
with a somewhat coarse expression
of face, and Of unprepossessing APP
pearance generally, was walking
along a street in the suburbs of
Philadelphia. He was noticed by
two persons approaching him, and
his unattractive manner and bear
ing were commented on as he drew
near. But just before he reached
thee persons the man stopped and
turned aside to help a poor street
boy struggling under heavy load
of refuse ire-wood. The man lifted
the load from the boys head, bal
anced it anew, steadied it until the
boy was fairly started with 1t, and
then spoke a CHEEKY word to the
little fellow In that simple, kindly
act the man himself was trans
figured. There was now a winsome
look about him. He had shown
himself another person from his
outer appearance. Nor was this an
over-estimate of the meaning of such
an action as viewed by these chance
passers. Four thousand years ago,
at least, in the funeral ritual of the
ancient Egyptians, one of the tests
of the soul before the final Judge
was the treatment of little children.
The soul that would pass unscathed
must be able to say it had never re
fused help to helpless child. And
our Lord and Master himself, as He
sat little child before His disciples
as their example and their charge
said emphatically: "Whoso shall re-
ceive one such little child in My
name receiveth Me. But whose
shall offend one of the little ones
which believe in Me, it were better
for him that a milestone were hang
ed about his neck, and that be
were drowned in the depths of the
sea-" 1t makes a good deal o.
difference whether a church or an
individual is faithful or not in Low
ing ministry to children. 1t makes
some difference to the children; but
not so much as to those who care
for or neglect them.-S. S. Times

it?-what is to become Of our free

New Mode of Treating Tomatoes.

My practice is to excavate in the
early spring time as many fiat tur-
nips as are needed and having filled
the cavity with earth, plant two or
or three seeds in it, selecting. the
best plant,..when two inches or three
inches high to remain, and pulling
out the others; when it is time to
set them in the garden, place the
turnip, with it's contents undis
turbed, in a hole deep enough to
cover the turnips two or three inch
es. Setting out in this way there
is cutting away of the roots and
little need of water, as the plant
has not been in the least disturbed,
especially if Injured to the air out
of doors for week or two before
being set in the garden. l have
started tomatoes out SO early that
the plants were in blossom several
days before being set out, not being
at all checked or retarded in growth
thereby. Cucumbers started in the
same way I have had in bloom
when set out with the same result.
After being put in the ground the
turnip soon decays, furnishing a
little food for the plant. Ii the tur
nips are to be kept in the house be
fore setting out, it will be we'll to
put them in boxes, filing the inter
stices with moss, sand, or earth,
kept moist, as too long exposure to
the hot air of warm place will
cause the turnips to wilt-the earth |
in must be kept moist, whether the |
5urnip is in or out of box. An
