What is August Flower for ?"
AS easily answered as asked. 1t is
for Dyspepsia. 1t is a special rem
edy for the Stomach and Liver
Nothing more than this. We believe
August Flower cures Dyspepsia.
We know it will. We have reasons
for knowing it. To-day it has an
honored place in every town and
country store, possesses one of the
largest manufacturing plants in the
country, and sells everywhere. The
reason is simple. 1t does one thing,
and doesit right. Itcures dyspepsia9

The magnitude of the work of the grange,
says "our Grange Homes, can TO some
extent be estimated from the number
of meetings which are held during the year
In New England alone these meetings dur
ing the past year viii aggregate nearly
thirty thousand, and direct Instruction and
discipline have been impaired TO the sixty
thousand regular attendants, besides the
field meetings which have been at
tended by many thousands who arr not
members of the order. AT these grange and
field meetings subjects have been discussed
relating to every phase of farm and home
life. ECONOMIC topics have been brought
forward and by their discussion farmers
have been made to think as never before
upon these matters which pertain to their
material prosperity. Political questions
have also been freely discussed in nom
partisan spirit and the rights and duties of
citizenship have heen more clearly defined
and more intelhgcntly applied than ever
before. In view of these facts no intelli-
gent man will question the statement that
the grange il the greatest school for farmers
that the verdi has ever known.

A BACK DOOR 70 BOTANIC SCIENCE
A Shoemaker who Found Health aud
Pleasure in an Interesting Way.

A Shoemaker who Found Health and
Pleasure in an Interesting Way.
Years ago, in Brattleboro, among the
green hills Of Vermont, lived a man who
was worthily earning his living as a
shoemaker. He was fairly successful
in business point OF view, but when he
had reached the age of thirty-five or
forty lis health gave way. Going to
New.Yorh 10 consult an eminent ply
sician he was shown into an anteroom,
and was looking at some plants in the
window when the doctor came in. Ex-
amining the case carefully this wise
physician said: You do not need medi-
cine. What you want is outdoor exer-
else and mental employment / saw
you lookiu at the flowers in the win
dow. Are you interested in botany!'
The shoemaker replied that he knew
nothing about botany, but had always
been fond Of flowers. WELL said the
doctor, .'go home, and every day this
summer go oat into the woods and fields
and gather one flower. bring it home
and find out the name Of it,
He at first felt as little as Naaman did
at his prescription of washing in the
river Jordan, but finally. like Naaman.
took his prescription and began the study
Of botany. Soon he became deeply IN
terested, and in two or three seasons had
collected nearly all the towering plants
~ ~ ta,,a a
called to MOSES, he wrote DR.. Gray, ask
ing for some textbook on that subject.
This being before the day Of "Gray S
Manual the only work DIR. Gray had to
recommend was in German.
Nothing daunted, the shoemaker
bought an "Oliendorff'' and soon learned
German enough to read his textbook.
Awhile after French book ON that sub
ject coming in his way he studied French
until he could manage its contents, and
then took up Latin and Greek sufficiently
to be able to trace the derivation of bo-
tanicaI names. At last. having fairly
mastered the more common divisions OF
the vegetable kingdom, he began ths
study of fungi, and there, as he told a
friend, he had found work to last a
lifetime. This necessitated the purchase
of more books, and finally OF Becks
microscope. and for years he could be seen
every day in his shop, on one side his
lapstone. his bench and the other imide-
uients of his daily labor, and ,m the other
a library Of botanical works In three OF
four languages, and on shelf over his
head his beautiful microscope.
And thus he spent the evenings OF his
days unti! his death, a genial. cultivated,
Intelligent Christian shoemaker-botan-
ist. In reply TO question as to the
amount Of time he had devoted to his
studies he said, always an hour day
and as much more as possible. Such
WIS the record of Charles G.. Frost, a
man whom it was a privilege to have as
a friend.-Professor Pickering in Chris
