The Future of our Families

What is our duty as regards prOvl-
sion for the future for those who are
or may be. dependent upon US? There
are two facts that point the path OF
duty too plainly to be misunderstood.
The first is, that public opinion is dia-
" strengthening in the conviction
that, in view of uncertain business
ventures, unexpected reverses and I'M
fulfilled business plans, all ending in
early death or, at least, before LIES
expectancy. that it is much the duty
of the head of the family to protect
the life which produces the bread,
clothing and homes Of the family,
by sharing with a large num-
Der of persons the risks on a
Ger tain amount of valuation on such
a life, as it is to protect the house
which shelters the family by sharing
the risk Of its loss by fire with a large
number of owners OF other houses.
This kind of public opinion shows no
mercy to the householder who fails to
insure his house, and the time Eastens
when the same public sentiment will
say of the deceased protector, what.
/ ever other good things he may have
DONE he failed IN his duty to accept
the propositions OF. those who offered
/ to share with him the risks of a pOr-
/ ton, at least, OF the valuation Of his
I life.
The second and stronger motive re-
suits from the inward consciousness
which approves this public sentiment,
and which will be clear if we remember
that only One-ffth OF the deceased are
solvent, that Is, only One-hEth leave
anything for friends after the liabilities
Of their estates are paid. Twc-hfths
have enough to pay their indebted
ness, and the other twO-hfths do not
leave anything. Every Individual in
commencing life hopes to be Of the
One-hfth, but fOur-ffths fail OF this
end. It would seem from this, that
failure is the rule of life, and financial
success is the exception. 1t IS well
known in business ventures that a
small fraction only secure their aim.
A few succeed and the courage Of the
struggling masses Is kept up, as they
point TO their success.
Now, friend, saying nothing OF the
uncertainty of the life which would en-
able you to secure what you desire fOl
the family, your chances are toe
small In the stern competition of tn,
age, for you to rely on business sue
cess alone Tor this result. Join Oul
Order and secure 81 certainty, and
then you VIII enter upon the race o
business and all the struggles OF If
with the more confidence and strOnEe
hopes. 1t will give peace to your pil
low and strength to the days battle
The expense Is so small and the ad
vantage SO great you cannot afford tt

Nasal Voices, Catarrh and False
Teeth"

Z prominent English woman saws the
American women all have high, shrill, nasal
voices and false teeth.
Americans don't like the constant INVITING
they get about this nasal twang and vet it i
fact caused by our dry stimulating atmos-
phere, and the universal presence of catar-
rhal diffiuties
But why should so many of our women
have falSa teeth.
That is more of a poser 10 the English. It
Is quite impossible TO account for IL except
on the theory OF deranged stomach action
caused by imprudence in eating and by want
OF regular exercise
Both conditions are unnatural
Catarrhal troubles everywhere prevail
and end in cough and consumption, which
are promoted by malnutrition induced by
deranged stomach action. The condition is
modern one, one unknown 20 our ancestors
who prevented the catarrh, cold, cough and
consumption by abundant and regular use of
what is now known as Warmers Log Cabin
Cough and Consumption Remedy and Log
Cabin Sarsaparilla, two old fashioned RENE
dies handed down from our ancestors, and
now exclusively put forth under the strong
est guarantees of purity and efficacy by the
world-famed makers of Warmers safe cure.
These two remedies plentifully used as the
spring and summer seasons advance give a
positive assurance of freedom, both from
catarrh and those dreadful and, if neglected,
inevitable consequences, pneumonia, lung
troubles and consumption, which so gen.
orally and fatally prevail among our people.

Hot Water for Plants.

It is fortunate circumstance that a
plant will endure a scalding heat that is
fatal to most of its minute enemies.
Water heated to the boiling point,
poured copiously over the stem of an
enfeebled peach tree, and allowed to
stand about its collar, will often have
the happiest restorative effects. Trees
showing every symptom of the yelIows
have often been rendered luxuriantlv
green and thrifty by this simple means.
The heat is presumably too much for the
fungus which had infested the vital
layers of the tree, Immediately under
the outer bark.
The London florists recommend hot
water, up to 145 degrees Fahrenheit, as
a remedy, when plants are sickly owing
10 the soil souring-the acid, absorbed
by the roots, acting as a poison. The
usual resort is to the troublesome lob of
repotting. When this is not necessary
for any other reason, it is much simpler
to pour hot water freely through the
stirred soil; it will presently come
through tinged with brown. After this
thorough washing, if the plants are kept
warm, new root points and new growth
will soon follow.
A lady friend had a fine Gala in a
three gallon pot which showed signs of
i'll health. On examination the outer
portion of the filing was found mouldy,
it being in large part horse manure AS
repOtting was incOnvenient, the plant
being in flower, hot water was freely
used. 1t killed the mould, and the
plant began to revive and was soon all
right. u rs Magasine.

A Collection of Crowns.

The next room to the throne room of
the Kremlin Palace, in Russia, con-
tains probably the finest collection of
jewels in the world, even more valuable
than those Of the holy synod, but not
so rare and curious. Here is an as
semblage of crown, most Of them comm e
from the palaces where the thrones
were stolen, and some time worn by
royal heads. The crowns of Poland,
Kazan, Georgia, Astrakan, Persia and
others are more splendid, being covered
with some of the largest and most
precious stones ever known-''crowns
upon crowns, oceans of pearls, rivers of
diamonds" as one writer has expressed
it. Beyond them are the ancient crowns
Of the Cars the double. one for Peter
the Great and his half witted brother
being the most curious, and it sits be-
fore a double throne, with a place be-
hind the drapery where their sister
Sophia used TO sit and prompt them
what TO do and say on occasions of
ceremony.
The costliest crown in the entire col
lection was made by the order of Peter
the Great for the Swedish peasant girl,
who became his wife and the Empress
Catherine l., the number of diamonds in
it being 253G, all of them large, flawless
stones Of the first water, with the larg
est and finest ruby in the world as a
crest. The crown of Ivan the Terrible
has some Of the rarest stones, very large
and perfect turquoises and sapphres of
great purity and value. In this room is
a large casket of solid gold, which con-
tains the code of the Car Alexis

Tomato Culture.

At meeting of a New England mar
ket gardeners association one of the
members read an interesting essay on
tomato culture. He said he had tried
various dates, from January to June, for
starting tomato seed, but he considered
about March 20 the best time for the
earliest plants, and few weeks later for
the late crops. 1t is not we'll to start the
seeds too early. The plants, if held
back and checked in their growth, as
they must be when started early, are apt
to suffer from blight.
To start tomato seed reQu res a good
heat so that the seed will como up in
four or five days, and in two weeks will
be ready to plant out, 200 to a sash, in
another bed also prepared with a good,
fresh heat, so as to keep the plants grow
ING. At the second transplanting, when
they are set about seven or eight inches
apart, they need some heat, though far
less than before, and it is usual to set
them at this time on an old heat after
lettuce or raddish crops, raising the
planks of the frame so as to give foot
of space between the bed and the glass
for the plants to grow. The bed must e
well aired, taking the glass entirely off
IN fine weather for week or two before
setting out, which is done May - to
June l. Well grown plants are stocky
with branches and not over foot high.
Before planting, the bed must be we'll
wet day beforehand so as to have the
loan stick to the roots.
Tomatoes will grow on very poor land
IN wet season, but to insure a good
crop they should have rich land; a sid e
hill with blue gravel subsoil, will give
excellent crops; land that has been
heavily MANFRED the year before will
grow better tomatoes than land freshly
manfred with coarse manure. He liked
to set them seven or eight feet by three or
four, the wide spaces giving room for
picking. Cultivate often and keep clean
till the vines run so as to prevent work
ing.
The few scattering tomatoes that are
borne on the ends of the plant do not
amount to much, although they often
sell for s. or more a bushel. The part
of the crop that usually brings the most
money is the first and second settings Of
fruit upon the branches The late pick
ings though often very heavy, are usu-
ally not very profitable on account of the
low price.
Rough, gnarly fruit showed want of
thrift in the plant, often caused by rough
land or rough manure. To grow pro-
fitable crop skill in handling the plants
is required, and more depends on this
than on the seed, although some varie-
ties are earlier than others, and after all,
chance or luck has a good deal to do
with growing an early crop. The tomato
is used all the year round in all civil
lied countries, and its use has become a
necessity.

Possibilities of Corn Fodder.

Perhaps no crop the farmer grows can
10 the subject of more imaginative spec
Liotion than corn fodder. It's possibili-
.;es are immense. Thirty tons per acre

The large varieties planted closely more

Immense amount of feed. Preserved

+ must be remembered, however, tn t
sorn fodder at its best is not a perfect
alton. 1t is always deficient in the ele-
ments for making muscle and bone
When grown in excessively large crops
corn fodder is beside watery and innu-
tritious. Considering the amount of
labor required to handle these large yields
II is better to plant so as to allow Guilt

Ten or twelve tons of fodder may be
grown on an acre in this way. and with,
in most cases, more profit to the feeder
than the larger and more expensive crop.
