is TO find physicians who have become
thoroughly hypoed. Many of them
with great reputation and largo
practice and capable Of diagnosing any
case become cranks concerning their
own health. They exaggerate the
slightest symptoms into dangerous
cases and believe they have chronic
troubles when they would know that,
in patient, it would be but slight
indisposition. Most physicians are
not competent to treat themselves, and
many of them are confirmed hypochon-
driacs. Medical students begin early
to imagine themselves afflicted with
the various diseases which they are
studying. remember when at college

course. One day he caught Il cold and

wishing TO give the young man les

but cured him of the malignant fever.
A long-discussed question among tho
medical fraternity is whether physi-
clan should humor Il hypochondriac
and ostensibly treut him as If he wero

disahuse his mind Of his folly. One OF
the professors of II college put ii 10 tho

TIMBER CULTURE.
What Lands on the Farm to Devote to
the Planting of Trees.
71dniO,l.

the Planting of Trees.
While the great-mass of our farmers
admit the necessity OF timber culti-
waited in general and systematic way.
but few on this side of the treeless
plains are ready to give up to this
work their best cultivated fields.
Timber planting is an investment from
which we can not hope to realize any
thing for u considerable length OF
time. Comparatively few farmers are
able to give up the regular annual in
comes that they realize from common
farm crops, no matter how profitable
the timber crop promises to be.
Fortunately it is not necessary for
them to make such sacrifices, as rule.
There are few farms east OF the great
plains that do not contain more or less
waste land. Such lands often prove
admirably adapted to tree growing.
Many OF the marshes and lOwlands
lying along our rivers that are periodi-
cally overflowed will yield fine growths
OF such varieties OF timberas arc natur-
ally adapted to such lands. The swales
on many farms, small swamps, rough,
rocky, billy, uneven lands, that are al
most worthless for crops, the vast,
sandy stretches along our seaboards-
all such lands judiciously planted will
grow good crops of timber and ought to
be re-timbcred. The farmer who has
such lands within his boundary lines
may start forest without great eX-
pense. A piece of ground must be
rocky indeed that trees can not be
grown upon. Nor does plantation
require very rich soil. OF course light.
sandy earth will not throw up Il rank,
rapid timber growth, but such lands can
be made to pay. nevertheless.
Some of the finest natural growth
timber is found along the steep sides
and tops of ledges and among huge
powders that nearly cover the ground.
Such lands are planted in England by
digging holes here and there where
ever the chance is afforded among the
rocks, and carefully planting such
trees as are desired. We have many
lessons to learn in this line, and as our
country becomes more thickly settled
it will be necessary forus to economize
in space and utilize all such rough bits
OF surface just us they have long been
obliged TO do in the countries across
the sea-
On the treeless plains OF the West
few acres of the best land is not be-
grudged the forest plantation. 1t be-
comes then more question OF outlay
of labor and OF capital for seed and
trees. The question OF location is not
with regard to the economy or value
OF land as much as it is for the protec-
ton that the timber will afford the
yards, stables and dwellings.-W ID.

Prevent Their Appearance by Taking Good
Care of Your Fowls.
Poultry Us we'll as other stock are
more or less subject TO disease, and as
disease with stock of any kind is diff
cult 10 cure Notwithstanding the large
number of infallible receipts warranted
as specific for the different diseases,
every poultryman who has had any eX-
perience understands that if disease
gets once started among his poultry it
is in majority OF cases very difficult
to stamp out or cure. So far as possi-
BILE the best method of management is
TO take all reasonable precautions TO
keep in good health. This will be found
to be the case during the winter as well
as during the summer. And it is q
mistake to suppose that simply because
cool weather has set in the risks Of
disease are about over until spring. A
damp floor, exposure, want Of food or
water, or failure TO provide good sup
ply Of water regularly so that when it
is supplied they drink too much, cracks
in the sides of the house allowing the
wind to blow directly upon the fowls,
and an excess of one kind OF food, are
only n few causes OF disease among the
poultry during the winter. Lice do
not usually thrive rs we'll, yet more or
less Of them will be found and will need
attention.
If they can be watched sufficiently
so that the first appearance of disease
will be noticed and taken in hand at
the start, such remedies may be APP
piled AS will cure the sick fowls and
stamp out the disease before it secures
too strong foothold. When the fowls
stand around and do not seem to care
whether they eat or not it is almost a
sure indication that disease of some
kind is making start. While they
will eat or drink, even if il be only IA
little, a much better opportunity is af-
forded for giving them medicine. After
they have got to the stage thai they
will refuse 10 eat, the only chance to
give them medicine is by force, SO that
it is decided advantage to commence
as soon as possible when disease makes
its appearance. In order TO lessen the
risks the better plan is TO separate the
sick fowls and put them ia dry, warm
place by themselves, and lose no time
in commencing TO give them medicine.
A day or two will make considerable |
difference in effecting Il cure; il is i'm

INTREPID EXPLORERS.
Astonishing Results Accomplished by Ter
sons Travelling Alone.

sons Travelling Alone.
The frequent disappearance and
| lengthoned absence of such explorers
as Livingstone and Stanley leads IN
anxious public to question the wisdom
OF mans plunging into the he1rt oi
Africa without II companion The inn
preston seems to be that his chances
for keeping up communication with the
outside world would be greater in pro.
portion to the number of his attendants,
and that companions would help him
in the accomplishment of his main pur.
pose.
The feeling is a natural one inde-
pendent of experience; but il we re.
view the history of explorations, we
find the facts show that an explorer
succeeds best when he relies wholly
upon himself to meet every emergency.
II is not his personal fortunes from day
to day that the public can reasonably
be interested in. II is not this curios-
ity that the explorer is working so hard
to satisfy. He aims to extend outward,
at some point, the bounds of human
knowledge.
The history of explorations under
taken by persons travelling alone shows
astonishing results. In Africa we have
the example of Livingstone. whose sue
cess in traversing an unknown region
unattended, demonstrated the wisdom
of the plan he adopted. Pointing to
the same general truth, we have the
example of Baker, Burton. Reade and
others, who also accomplished great
things, and contributed much to geo.
graphical science, by pursuing the
same method.
In South America. Musters travelled
successfully through Patagonia, de-
pending entirely on himself. The En-
glish traveller, Shaw, reached Kashgar
in Central Asia, and returned to India
quite alone, having made one of the
most successful journeys OF his day.
Not long ago Hannay travelled alone
from the Irrawaddy to the Brahma-
pootra. through country that is con-
sidered almost impossible on account
OF the lawlessness of its inhabitants.
In the case of n person travelling
through an unknown country alone,
his utter helplessness and dependence
on the honor of savages about him,
will stand him in good stead. He is
compelled to throw himself on their
protection, and treat them with con-
sideration such as a large party could
not safely show. II would be inter-
preted in their case as meaning either
cowardice or weakness. On the other
hand, a large party by neglecting to
show proper consideration for the peo-
pie about them would wound their
pride and rouse feelings of hostility.
1t would also be difficult for the
chiefs and others to entertain many
persons for long time. or with the
same freedom they would use toward
the solitary traveller. The baggage of
n large company also appeals to the
covetousness native to the savage
breast more strongly than the little OF
value which the prudent explorer will
take along with him. Youths Com

EVERYBODY familiar with Ayers Almanac
knows that 1t IL much more than mere
vehicle for advertising the medicinal prepa-
rations of Mr.. j. g. Aver 81 Co., of Lowell,
Mass. 1t is really one Of the most welcome
and valued Of ANIMALS. And now we have
bound presentation volume of the Almanac
for 1888, containing copies in English and
nine other languages, also specimen pages
and pamphlets in eleven additional tongues
in all, twentN-one languages. From tho
preface to this interesting book we learn
that between thirteen and fourteen million
almanacs are issued by this company an
nually, consuming about twenty-five miles
of paper a day. Surely, with all this and
other advertising 1t should be inexcusable
in any one not TO know the superior merits
of Ayers Sarsaparilla and other standard
remedies. Ayers Almanac for 1889, In its
usual attractive form, is now ready at the
drug stores.--Southern tribune.

The principles of business that can

A clerk very soon reaches the place
where he has been told all that is act
ually necessary that he should be told
about the details of the business; he
falls into the ruts of the house, UNDER
stands the run of trade, the variations
in people and prices, and how to get in
and send out goods to the best advaut-
age. But all these details, while they
are necessary to be learned, only fit the

A clerk who remains in one position
all his life advertises himself lacking
in one of two things-ability or ambi-
ton. There undoubtedly are instances
where clerk is kept so constantly and
continually employed at one task that
he has no opportunity to learn any
instances are very rare. As general
rule, every clerk has some time ut his
disposal, either ut intervals during the
day or in the evening. These are
hours that he can not afford to throw
away. Not that it follows that he must
deprive himself of every pleasure, or
must desert every form of entertain
ment All work and no play makes
Jack dull boy, and dullness does not
lead to success. But let him have his
entertainment as recreation, and not
seal it as a business, and then he will
still have many valuable hours for self
improvement.
One of the prosperous merchants OF
this city began life as an errand boy in
an office. Most boys, and most men.
too, for that matter, would say that
his position offered but little hope of
advancement. The men in the office
were busily employed, and saw or
spoke to the boy only when they had
an errand or order for him. He had
no accounts to keep, no writing to do.
But the desire being there, the oppor-
tunities came. He carried the mail to
and from the post-office; watching the
letters that passed through his hands,
when he found an envelope unusually
well addressed he saved it from the
wastc-basket, and with this before him
he began to try TO initiate it.
1t was his duty TO copy the letters in
the copying press. and he read and re-
membered the phraseology and the
style until he could have sat down and,
with the topic given him, have dressed
il up in the same form.
He was so ready and willing to do
any and every thing asked of him that
the men sent him on many private er-
rands of their own, and in return they
could not but answer his questions
when he asked about the books or the
business. A chance offered where he
might do Il little writing, and he did
the work before any one there knew
that he could. There was some sur
prise at the good hand he wrote, still
more ut the good form of his matter.
and then he told them how he had
learned. He was given place at the
desk, while another boy ran the er-
rands, ana before he had ever thought
of studying to be book-lleeper he was
one, and good one.-OH Tie ROad tc
