ABSOLUTE TRUST.

Character q surSr Basis of COnfl.donCa
Than MOmsntary Observation Can BE.
How good it Is to trust absolutely How
good it is to be trusted absolutely At the
best, we can not depend on our senses to
make clear to us at the time the truth con-
corning the spirit and purpose Of another,
as back of his words or ways for the mo-
ment At the best we can not be sure of
making clear to another our own spirit and
purpose, as back of our words and ways, at
every moment when we are under Obser-
walton. We can not Judge, nor can we be
judged, by sight alone. The element of
faith must come in to nab1e us to know and
to be known truly. Unless we are sure Of a
friends character. as the pledge of his IN
swerving fidelity in hisl friendship, we are
liable to see cause for q uestioning to his
thoughts or feelings concerning US in one
way or in another, even while he is truer in
that friendship than the needle to the pole.
And unless our friend has like assurance
of trust in our character, we are liable to
disappoint him, or to cause q question in
his mind concerning our fidelity, at an I'M
expected moment But whem ones faith is
firm, ones very senses viii rightly be in
subsection to that faith; for character is u
surer basis of confidence than ANY momen-
tary observation can be.-S. IS. Times

A Handy Table of ReferspaOe for House
Gardeners.


Gardeners
We are asked to state the period for
which the common gard en- seeds retain
their vitality. This infou nation may come
handy to many home gardeners who have
a stock Of such seeds lett over from pre.
vious seasons In the fir at place. we would
say that a definite answer can hardly be
given in any case. as great deal depends
on the way the seeds Wers kept But az
stored in paper bags and sacks, as they gen.
orally are. seeds viii BE- reasonably sure to
germtnato for the following number OF
years, respectively:
Beets. from 5 to years, cabbages. cault.
flower. kale etc, years; carrot 2 years:
celery. years; ccrnv 2 years; cucum bers'
~ yo@Ea' ana perhaps more egg plant. OF
years; herbs, 2 years; lettuce, 3 wears:
melons and squashes, 10 years or more:
onion, from L to 2 years; parsley, years:
parsnip year; peas years; peppers. 2
years; radishes, 3 years; satisfy, 2 years;
spinach. years. tomatoes. 8 years; tur-
nipE, years
All these seeds, however, should be tested
before they are planted Sometirnes onion
seed win entirely fail to terminate the sec
ond season In some cases we have known
80 per cent OF 1T to grow when two yearn
old, and small percentage Of tt when
three years old Theoretically, all seeds
from which we expect fruit-such as
meIohss pepperss tomatoes, eGc.-5hOuld
give us the best results when their vitality
lie somewhat weakened by age or other
wise; while it would be preferable to plant
new seed Of all vegetables which we grow
merely for their foliage or root, like lettuce,
celery, cabbages, radishes, ETC. Practically,
however, we have not been able to detect
the least difference between crops of tha
same varieties of cabbage grown from old
and from new seed respectively, nor be-
tween plants of the same variety of melon,
grown from seed of different ages Hence
we do not care If the seed is new or old so
long as it terminates promptIy.-B0stos

for the second time and was almost

the ship, and after n good deal Of trou-

rail and brought back to life. The two
other men were swept away and
drowned But for the fact that the
captain of the ship was my brother,
