Mrs. Geo. Gilbert, Bryan, Ohio, writes:
aDR. S. B. HARTMAN s. Co., Columbus,
Ohio: commenced on the fifth bottle of
your PERuNA this morning, and should
just as soon think of doing without my
meals as without my medicine. /
have been doctoring for about four
years, and kept getting worse all the
lime and was just giving up in despair
when ! got one of your books, The Ills
Of Life.S was in bed at the time. /
read and re-read your book and felt like
trying your medicine. My folks thought
/ there was no use in trying anything more,
was too far gone, and might as well
make up my mind to die. | told them
PERUNA was the medicine needed, and
| intended to try bottle. 1t proved a sue
cess in breaking the chills, and il 1t had
not done one thing more, would have
been satisfied. But it has done more, and
| feel like another person. Everybody
that sees me is surprised to see me looking
SO well, as they all thought was dying
with consumption, and now my own folks
have as much 20 say for the PERUNA as
I. / recommend it to everybody see.
There were two of our neighbors in yes
terday inquiring about the PERUNA. ]
gave the one my book to read; told her
to bring it back, as / priced it very high

RUNA to send to his son in Chicago. He
is telegraph operator My disease is
something similar to Mrs. Milo Ingram's,
though nothing compared to being SO bad.
There was lump raised on my collar
bone, and it was long time before it
looked like opening. The doctor said he
would have to lance it in few days, but
thought would attend to that myself,
SO put little fly blister on it and 1t
opened; then put a poultice on and then
salve, and kept the salve on all the time.
1t got SO bad and spread upon my left
shoulder, and one place under my left
breast. Then there were two places on
my head, one near the temple and one
back of my ear that was just dreadful.
No tongue can tell what / suffered. My
head felt SO strange sometimes, thought
| was going crazy. Since have used
the PERUNA Il don't use the salve any
more) my sores healed up right away.
And oh, what relief it is to get around
without chilling and having to suffer with
my sores. / feel like letting everybody
know all about it."

What Variety of Potatoes 10 Plant.

If yon want potatoes as early as
possible, select the best potato you
can find. The genuine Early rose is
good enough and early enough. The
Beauty Of Hebron is equally good,
and there are a dozen other varie
ties any one of which, il you happen
to have it, will ripen about as early,
and give satisfaction. If any one
tells you he has q potato that will
ripen two weeks earlier than the
Rose or the Beauty Of Hebron, and
yield as much again per acre, tell
him that 1T is a most valuable varie-
ty, and that he had better plant all
he has got, and not sell a tuber to
anyone else for seed. For early po-
tatoes, plant in good, rich, mellow
soil as soon as the frost is out Of The
ground. You can hardly plant too
early. Until The plants appear, Sc
we're fr0sts will not hurt them.
When the plants are up, a frost viii
sometimes destroy the crop, or at
any rate, seriously retard or injure
it. A piece Of paper, or light Gov
ering Of soil will save the plant
For winter potatoes, select variety
that possesses at least four points.
VIZ: quality, vigorous growth Of
leaves to resist the potato bugs,
good keeper, and productivcness.
When the potato bugs first ap-
peared, everybody planted early
varieties Of potatoes, in hopes Of get
ting ahead of the bugs. Now that
we know how to keep tie bugs 10
check, we can plant later kinds. AS
rule, the early varieties cannot
yield as well as the later sorts, which
have longer season to grow in; or
II they do in exceptional cases. If Is
probably owing to unusual richness
OF land. On ordinary land, other
things equal, a late variety will yield
better, and keep better THE next
spring., than the early varieties. A
late variety Of potato should BE-
planted as early as the soil can be
got into good condition. II you DO
not wish to plant early-or perhaps
we bad better say, if sou are behind
With yonr work, and cannot plant as
early as you wish, plant an earlier
variety. The later Jon plant, the
earlier should be the variety plant
ed. The same principle, or rule as
to planting, applies to cabbages'
cauIiiiowers, tomatoes, cucumbers'
melons, furuips, corn, beans, peas
etc. The earlier the variety, that -
the quicker it natures, the later can
it be sown or planted.-Amer'eaH

LENTEN WORK.

There is a lady belonging to one
OF our churches, one Of those earnest
souls whose every thought is for the
glory of the Master. She was asked
what her plan of Lenten work was,
and replied: "Well, l have Bible
class at the church, about forty wo-
men, many of them domestics, some
of them sewing women, other hands
in mills. At the beginning of Lent
Istarted a" self-abnegation society"
| said to each one: care you will
ing to deprive yourself of some per
sonal comfort during these forty
days 7" Most of them replied in the
affirmative. Then i say to A: What
can you givew Perhaps A replies
she really doesn't know. Then
suggest that perhaps she has certain
afternoons "out," and | ask whether
she would give up some of those
afternoons to any good work / may
ask her to do. She gladly assents.
Next go to b. Perhaps she is ready
to give up the labor of her needle
for certain number of hours. G.,
who works in mill, will give tenth
OF her weekly wages. ID, who is out
at service, offers to forego her des-
sert in order to supply some poor
woman to whom it would be an I'M
wonted delicacy. So l go through
my class until | have obtained yalu.

Then l say to that mother: "To.

send you a kind and trusty woman
who will look to the babies in your

The day will come when shall walk no more,
In mortal guise, beneath VOC sea OF sky,
Nor longer view. with shackled sense, the

On whose dim cliffs Times unveiled secrets
lie.
Dear friends, with faces vocing their unrest,
Sad, love-born tears for me some day may

Warm hands will fold my cold hands on my

And tender words. mayhap, for me be said.
These window.orbs will lose their transient
light,
Thin-nnsered death will drop their curtains
down;
These blood-iushcd checks will strangely fade
to white,
And amaranth the marble brow will crown.
This throbbing heart will some day cease to
beat.
It's crimson tides their banks no more will
course,
The vital part on viewless pinions fleet
VIII speed its flight toward It's primal source.
