LIFE ON THE FARM.
why It Il Preferable to All Other Known
Vocattnns.


Vocations.
Probably few men with full knowl-
edge OF all the conditions would en-
gage in farming with the expectation
of making fortune at the business.
Yet, If fortunes from farming are the
exception, absolute failures In 1t are
probably fewer in number than in al
most any other calling. 1t is said that
% per cent. of city business men fail in
business, sooner or later. Besides
these, many others exc out precari-
GUS, hand-to-mouth existence, and sp-
parently never know where they are
at Does the agricultural class make
any such miserable showing as this?
If farming isn't all that might be de-
sired, isn't 1t more of q certainty than
figures would indicate some other vo.
cations to be? Isn't there. too, less
wear and tear on the nervous organi-
cation, more solid comfort, less sham,
more real enjoyment than In many
other callings in life? In short, al
things considered. isn't the farm life
preferable to the others?-Rural New
Yorker

WONDERFUL ORCHIDS.
In These Mysterious Plants Nature Coun-
terfeits Her Own Creations.

In These Mysterious Plants Nature Coun-
terfeits Her Own Creations.
Nature is much given to counterfeit
ing her own works, says botanist.
Among the most remarkable illustra-
lions of this tendency on her part are
numerous vegetable limitations of ami
NAL life.
You will find the sort of freak best
exhibited in plants Of the orchid kind,
whose odly-formed flowers suggest va
rious queer resemblances-
There are two species. for example,
named the bee orchid and the fly orchid,
from the likeness between their flowers
and these insects
Other varieties, for similar reasons,
are called the man orchid, the lizard
orchid and the lady's slipper.
In some species the flowers are like
splendid butterflies. One, again, re-
minds the observer of grinning mon
ordinary opera dancer, suspended by
the head; while third, named the
spider orchid, affords a striking like
ness to that animal.
Although there are orchids of various
kinds to be found in temperate lati-
tudes, the most beautiful species grow
in luxuriance where tropical climate
develops these exquisite vegetable
forms on the branches of living trees,
in the decayed bark of fallen trunks,
running over messy rocks, or hanging
suspended from boughs in the untrod-
den forests.
For long time it was supposed that
this most curious tribe in all the vege-
table kingdom could not be subjected
TO the uses of the gardener, but it has
been discovered of late years that with
care and perseverance they can be
brought to as high perfection in a
greenhouse as they obtain in their ma
tive woods.
1t is chiefly in the forests of South
America that the species which grown
on the bark of trees are found. Some
of them are known as air plants, from
their power Of vegetating when simply
suspended in the air, without any soil
or direct supply of water, supported
only by the atmosphere.
When hung up by strings from the
ceiling of q room they will live for

luxuriantly. Such orchids are favor
lite ornaments of houses in China and
Japan.
There are nearly two thousand known
species Of orchids Probably as many
more remain undiscovered in the depths
Of UNEMPLOYED tropical forests. He who
comes upon a new one obtains as much
glory as is got by the discovery Of a
star.
It seems curious that, whereas these
plants are spread over nearly all the
world, as far as the borders Of the
frozen zone, there should DO so few
kinds that are useful in any way to
man.
Vanilla Is an orchid, which In the
West Indies creeps over trees and walls

somewhat resembling arrowroot or
sage. is obtained from the tubers OF a
variety that grows in Turkey and Per-
STA. where 1t is highly esteemed.
Some Of the South American species
yield by boiling sort Of glue, utilized
by the Brazilians for fastening leather
together. These are the only orchids
that are Of utility to mankind. Boston

hip, extending down my leg. Not receiving
any help from the medicine l was taking,

magical. I had not had the first dose doarl
more than one-hGLf hour before felt its good
effect, slight, to be sure, but none the less
soothing which good effect increased as !
continued taking the cure, until on the fol
lowing Monday l was enabled to report for
duty comparatively cured. l most heartily
certainly worth its weight in gold to me- as
never suffered such pain in all my life. 1t is
singularly pleasant tc the taste and wonder
fully efacacious.
