A AIOle.Catcher.

A nno!e-catcher is picturesque per
sonage. more interesting in his life and
surroundings than many better known
or prett;er types of life. He can hoiaa
has own with many game keepers and
the country characters which abound
where leaves are green and fields are
piowed and waters are clear, though he
has nothing more terrible to hide in the
earth than q wooden trap, and all the
skill he possesses is his own experience
Of cunning. He follows his work as
silent as the moles themselves, and his
humble earnestness would stand many
preacher in good stead.
We might, with little wit, make fun
OF his old clothes, his leather CATERS,
his soiled knees, his battered hat, and
rough hands, and compare him <, a
scarecrow; but the moment we talk to
him we find what store of strange OBJ
servations have been gathered up by
those cute eyes, observations which his
wife at night by the fireSide alone
shanes. and we begin to consider what
an immense debt we dwellers in cities
owe this rustic for keeping down the
moles and preserving the crops. As
you travel on the hig ighway you see the
rude mole-catcher down on his knees at
work. with his hands in the soil bless
ing The ground by playing havoc with
the black vermin; and wherever the
marks of his knees have been the land
prospers and grows green in spring.
His hands are so stiff with rheumatics
that they can hardly close, and his
eyes are always among his feet, s.as If, I"
he says with wan smile. 'she was in
search of half a crown he had lost in
his young days" Yet in fact his oc-
cunation is an artificial one, and has
been brought about by high farming

The gamekeepers have destroyed
many weasels, artificial means have to
BE taken to destroy moles. Looking
from the window of railway carriage
at tie solitagy figure on the field, you
would think he has about the most
lonely and wearisome work on the face
Of the earth; but old Jim says: s.Man,
I never weary, I'm aye seeing some
thing new. Faith, the moles'll no al
low one to be idle or weary. So /
whiles think my auld watch has ta'en

and the remark was that of a healthy
man, ''it'sfine to be tired at night after
long and a hard days work, and to
fall asleep as your cheek kisses the pill
low. A hard days work has a good
nights rest" Any open-air work like
mole-catching makes one sane-minded
and moderate in thought, and gives one
o natural ife.-Good Words.

THE BEST
SEWING MACHINE.

FOR THE MONEY, Is to buy at the Once.
1t saves expense of commission and ex-
pense in travelling from house to house.
You can just as well save above expenses
as you can in buying your dry goods.
When you buy Domestic or New. Home
you get the best. All other makes called
New High Arm machines are limitations
and none are their peers. The DoIQesti-
and New Home have new styles of Weod3
work, and new sets of Attachments that
others dare not use. Come and see for your
selves and you will be convinced that the
above is reliable, and if you have Domss-
tic or New Home that has been in use from
10 to 20 years do not let them humbug you
with their sO-called new high arm ma
chimes, and trade you out of it, which they
will try to do, but bring your machines to
me and will put in the new Domestic or
New Home improvements, then you will
have "a better machine and one that will
last longer than the high arm Imitation
ones, and save your money and have the

KeepQuiet a Few Days.

those whose nerves are al; unssrung

general miserableness all over.

ing good, but how many OF the sufferin g

ty! The clergyman who keeps together a
large congregation the man that mane'

ing,the advice to
KEEP QUIET A FEW DAYS.
What then are you to do? To go
on seems certain death And drop
all cares one cannot the road looks
dark. but It's before day. Will and
determination have much to do with our
existence. Never give up. Study to find
hardest, and abandon all things possible
that do you harm. Yet you will find it
necessary at times tO depend OH cod re-
liable medicine to belly you out. Hops are
a good nervine and tonic; PodOpholin a
cathartic and liver regulator; Buchu acts
on the kid eys and urinay organs.
These properly combined with other in

cine ever prepared, and known through
out the world as Hop Bitters.
