The aim of modern science is to provide
the public with articles that minister to the

they are free from any of the annoyanees
of the ordinary cathartic. They contain
nothing deeterious so that they can be
given to children without the slightest
danger. There is no liquid and they can be

OUR YOUNG READERS.
JUST YOURSELF.


o, little bird Of golden wing,
Go to your wildwood nest,
And to your downy nestlings sing
The song that seemeth bost.
Be just yourself-a birding true,
Whether the song be old or new.
o daisies, In the scented field,
A glorious sisterhood,
Be simple daisies as you yield
Your heritage Of good,
To deck In white the meadows fair,
just showing the bright gold you wear.
o, simple blossom by the walk,
So very plain and small,
The flower that grows on the high stalk,
o, envy not at all;
But bloom In just your pretty dress,
Revealing your own loneliness.
o, learn lesson, little child.
From flowers you daily see;
or singing bird In forest wild,
just your own self to be,
And you will better fill your place
BY wearing your own pleasant face.

ABOUT FRUIT GROWING.

Success Requires Continued Diligence,
Intelligence and Skill.
In riding through any part of the
country where fruit can be successfully
grown, the contrast between fine crops
and partial or entire failure may be
frequently observed. One shows the
effect of skill, the other the result of
neglect On one hand, orchards are
loaded with fine crops of excellent
fruit; on the other partly dead trees
have nothing but small and scrubby
apples. In small-fruit plantations
weeds have had the ascendance; straw
berry patches are noted for their sickly
and winter killed appearance. The
owners admit general disappointment
and failure But there are other own
ers who give a very different report.
Their small fruits and strawberries
have escaped winter killing by care
fully applied winter protection. Their
rule has been to kill weeds lat what
ever cost" by never allowing them to
grow. They have found the labor very
small to destroy them with steel rake
or fine harrow passing every week be-
fore they come up, compared with the
hard work 10 root out the rank mass

where both kinds of management pre-
| vailed, lived the owner Of hundred
acre farm, q portion of which was de-
voted to Embarrassing generally. His
trees had generous cultivation; large
part of the manure made on the place
was carefully applied broadcast to the
fruit trees and to the small fruits. The
result of this, long continued, was that
the annual sales from all the different
kinds amounted literally to thousands
of dollars annually. But this success
required continued diligence, intelli-
gence and skill. Gentleman.

CARE OF GRAPEvlNEs.
What to DO to Prevent the Appearan'
OF Rot Next Year.

OF Rot Next Year.
That the ravages of grape rot have
not been as severe as formerly in some
sections is confirmed by the statements
of many prominent growers of grapes,
but the reasons assigned vary, the ma
iority of growers being inclined to the
belief that the years 1891 and 1892 were
unfavorable to the disease. Other
growers affirm that the use of the
Bordeaux mixture has aided in pre-
venting the rayages OF tho rot by de-
stroying the spores to great extent.
In some sections of New Jersey, how
ever, there have been but few cases OF
the appearance of the rot on vines that
were before attacked, although the
vines had not been sprayed with. fungi
cides at any time.
1t is now considered fact that the
rot may be prevented by the use of the
proper remedies, and the fact has been
demonstrated by treating selected vines
in vineyards that were affected In all
cases where the fungicides were used
the disease was either eradicated or its
effects mitigated, and IL is also OBJ
served that by vigorous treatment
the disease may be 20 controlled as to
do but little damage the succeeding
season, which gives promise of its be-
ing entirely eradicated in few years.
The results of next years experiments
will throw much additional light on
the matter, as the dryness or dampness
of the season controls the effects of the
rot to some extent. There are also
varieties OF grapes that are more ex.
empt than others, such thiclS-skinned
variety as the Ives Seeding escaping
attack, although growing in rows adj
joining varieties that were rottlng rap

Prominent growers recommend thai
the work Of preventing rot next yeal
should begin during the winter or ever
in the fall. The ground should be care
! fully raked over and the debris burned
in order to destroy as many of the
spores rs possible, and lime should ther
be applied to the soil on the surface

suggested that the lime be slaked will

square inch of the soil given busting
of the lime. Early In the spring, be
fore the buds appear and after the vine
have been trimmed, the Bordeaux mix
ture should be applied to the vines; ant
it is claimed that the best results hav,
been obsained by this early treatment

"WORTH A GUINEA A BOX"
[From Fame, a London Newspaper

CFrom Fame, a London Newspaper
Mr.. s., a chemist of Liverpool,
received a bill for the amount of 28c.
from Thomas Beecham, St. Helens.
Mr.. s., being at the time IN pecuni-
airy difficulties, pondered for a consid-
cradle time how to meet the demand
At last a bright idea flashed across his
mind, and he said, joyfully:
Eyes, I will send Beecham a box of
his own pills-he says himself they are
worth a guinea a box-and seven shil-
lings in cash"
This he did. In the course of a few
days great was the surprise of Mr..
s. to find that Beecham had for
warded the receipt attached to which
were the words, "Cash only IN future.
Thomas Beecham."
In the United States Beecham's pills
are also advertised as universally
acknowledged to be worth a guinea a
box"-but that they are for sale by all
druggists at % cents.
Beecham evidently thinks it best to
hedge against such bright fellows as
