Once the Canada thistle gets hold
ON the soil it seems almost irradicable.
So great an energy is it to the farmer
that the law has been invoked for his
protection, and any person owning or
leasing land ON which these thistles
grow, who neglects to cut them down
and does not prevent them from going
to seed, may be fined fifteen dollars for
his negligence.
Here is a problem for the school
children to work on. 1t will take a
considerable amount of "figgers" to
bring about the required solution. The
problem is as follows: A man dies and
leaves three boys. He wills one-half
of his estate to the oldest one ;
one-third to the next oldest, and two
ninths to the third one. The estate
consists of seventeen elephants. What
is each ones share?
Girls, if you should happen to have
beau who does not know when he
ought to leave, give him a piece of
paper and pencil and tell him to
make row Of eleven ciphers. Then
request him to draw perpendicular
line downward on the right of the first
cipher, upward on the right of the
fourth, downward on the right of the
fifth, upward on the right of the sew
enth and eighth, and downward ON the
tenth. The lines should be half an
inch long. Ask him to read what he
has written.
Many seem to be possessed with the
idea that a man can not take care of
his health without worrying about it
and making himself constantly I'M
happy for fear that he will do some
thing he ought not to do. Never was
there a more erroneous opinion. A
person who takes rational care of his
body does not necessarily become a
crank or so notional that it makes
every one uncomfortable to live with
him, but just the reverse He should
become more interesting, more intelli-
gent and inspired by higher ideas and
be more delightful companion.
1t is said that spirits of camphor APP
piled to any red or pimply spots is
excellent, if not used too often, and
will generally remove and redness of
the nose if applied at night Half
teapoonful of salt of tartar to three
quarters of pint of distilled water
makes a good lotion to apply after
bathing the face in tepid water or after
using soap. Where the pimply spots
are very large aud obstinate it is adj
visable to press them out between the
fingers and Immediately battle the spot
with hot water and soap, using for
few days a lotion made of weak BIZ
chloride of mercury.
