Marvellous Cure of Stone In the Bladder
 Large Stones Removed by "Ken-
 nedy's Eav, rite Remedy.'
 From the PttSRsId CMass) EnoIs.
 Stone in the Bladderis e very dangerous aiI- menx but many most remarkable cures have of late bean wrought by "Kennsdy's Favorite Reme- dyS-the invention oi Dr. Kennedy of Rom dout, N. '. Another striking case is now added to the list. MT. Peter Lawler, of Dalton, Mass, states in letter to Dr. Kennedy that he had been troubled with bladder complaint for IA years And had consulted at different times seven phyG1. afans; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of shs pain had been worked. Towards the end Of last January MT. Lawler called on Dr. Ken: pedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struek stone" Be decided that Mir. Lawler should first try the "Favorite Remedy" as, if possible, to avoid an operation. And here Is the remarkable result: "Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after came home passed two gravel stones, and am doing nicely now. If you would like to see the stones I will send them to you" This letter bears date "Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th," and Is signed "Peter Eawler." The stones, which SO large as to war rant for "Kennsdy's Fsvorite Remedy " the claim ehat is the most successful specific for Stone yet 4isoovered, are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession. Incidentally MT. Lawler also states that the Fav. oxite Remedy" at the same time cured him of a stubborn case of Rheumatism; and it is fact that m all affections arising out of disorder of the liver urinary organs 1t Is a searching remedy and works marvellous benefits.

Spring Silks.

!. r dark costumes for the street,
Harper'S Bazar tells MS, are glace sat
ms with illuminated Persian figures for
q part OF the dress, and the plain change
able ground for the remainder. For
very quiet dark dresses the satin mer-
veilleux, Rhadames, and surahs are still
largely imported, and when these are to
be made lighter and more summary
looking they will be trimmed with ecru
embroideries that look like lace. Faille
Franchise, gros grain, and the Rhadzi-
mer silks with flat ribs are commended
in the new spring shades of Russo gray,
champignon, smoke, brown, and other
grave tints that are now frightened by
gay accessories such as Moliere vest OF
poppy red or blue satin, with velvet
rosettes or cockade bows to match, and
a deep border Of this gay coloring across
the foot of the front and sides of the
skirt. Checked surahs and Louisines
are liked best in decided blocks, not
necessarily Of large sizes, hut in squares
rather than in bars or broken small
plaids. The durable India pongees will
again be used either quite plain or else
embroidered in sprigs, crescents, leaves,
arabesques, or linked rings all over the
breadth; and this embroidery may be had
done in white cotton in most delicate
effects, or in colored silks, notably in
dull India red, very dark brown, and
in olive green. The bordered and seal
loped bands arc also shown again, and
another pretty fashion is the open
worked pongee in daisy, star, and com.
pass patterns, to be made up over bril-
liant red or blue satin which will show
through the openings. This is used for
basque, and for the plain front and
sides Of the skirt, while the draperies
and hounces are Of plain pongee. There
are also applique velvet embroideries for
trimming pongees, and the French ca
price is for tapesty figures on the dull
ecru ground, and for using rs trimming
the Bulgarian embroidered scarfs which
are wrought with gay silks and with
tinsel threads. The printed India silks
are shown with dull red outline figures
and flowers in white or ecru grounds,
and there are many plain surah and tus-
sore silks in their natural unbleached
colors that make most durable dresses.

Orchard and Fruit Garden.

Planting is the important work OF the
month. A horticultural friend declares
that trees are not to be "set," that posts
are set, but trees should be "planted. "
Orchard planting will be an important
work, and the manner Of doing it will
influence the future well.being of the
orchard. A nursery tree when taken up
is deprived of half or more of its roots.
Fit is planted with all of its top, each
bud upon every branch will make de-
mand for food, which the roots cannot
meet The growth will be n poor,
starved one, and the orchard will make
bad beginning. Nurserymen do not
prepare the trees for planting; they know
that the inexperienced buyer will Judge
of the trees by the size of the top. 1t
is important that each branch be cut
back to diminish the demand upon the
roots.
Grating should be finished. A good
fruit tree occupies no more room than
bad one. Insects demand attention. So
soon as there is food insects will be ready
to eat it. Watch for the first "tents" Of
the caterpillar and remove them while
small.
Cuttings ofshrubs, grape vines, etc.,
should be set out early. A mulch over
the surface of the soil before dry weather
comes will greatly help them.
If berries are to be shipped ascertain
what baskets are most popular in market,
and use that kind. Have all crates
plainly marked. --American Agricultur-

An old man sits In his garden chair,
Watching the sunlt western sky;
What sees he In the blue depth there,
Where only the isles Of Memory lie2
There are princcly towers and castles high,
There are gardens faircr than human ken,
There are happy children thronging by
Radiant women and stately men,
Singing with voices Of sweet attunt
The songs Of the Land Of the Afternoon.

That floats where the azure islands are,
And he sees n homestead gray and loved,
And hand that beckOns him afar,
Oh, check Of roses and hair Of gold
Oh, eyes Of heavens diyincst blue!

But love is infinite, love Is true;
He will find her-ycs-i ii must be soon;
They will meet in tho Land Of the Afternoon
