THE SOUTHERN PINE TREE

In melodious poesy ard glowing
prose the yerdant magnolia and its
immaculate flower have long been
sung and exalted to kingship among
the trees and fora of The south.
We haze ever associated the more
useful and abundant pine, rearing
itself in nnbrOken stateliness up to-
wards the azure vault, with lank
and place above all else of grandeur
and charm in Southern forests. AS
the mighty creative hand has out
lined this symmetrical tree on hill
and in vale it Outbreathes IT'S felt
royalty. Lifted aboye the discord
and wranglng OF earth it would
seem to commune with pure spirits
OF ether, and to catch the sobs of
world of sorrow aud watt them
higher. 1t is privilege when one
Is trammeled with gloom, and the
heaviness Of life gathers added
weight from adversely and disap-
pointment, to recline in entire lone
liness at the foot of some stately
pine, drihk in the sympathetic Ca
dency of It's mourEtul song and
unite the hearts grief with it's
softened, sobbing wall. The tumult
will be quelIed, and, alone with
nature and natures God the soul
will lift itself through the channel
of echolng rhythm to the throne of
forgiying and comforting grace

FRUIT CULTURE.

United effort will accomplish
more than any one singly can do
to unravel the mysteries Of the scis

effort only can we have fruit in
towns. If all except one resident
of community perform their en-

sary, their fruit may all be ruined
by and through the negligence of
that one.
A peach, plum, apple or pear tree
whose fruit IS not worth the care

should be "Cut down and cast into

All the litter and trash, the pruns

whtewashed as high as above the

SHE DON'T WANT TO TELL

what made her beautiful. Yet it's
only what other women knoo.
Wealth of beauty comes only with a
healthy body. Health is a set of
good habits. DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription assists nature in estab-
fishing these habits. Women have
sallow faces, dull eyes and hollow
cheeks, together with low spirits,
when they are made miserable with
disorders, arrangements and weak
nesses peculiar to their sex. Health
is regained, after periods of dizziness,
nervous prostration and excitability,
or other manifestations Of derange-
ment or displacement of the wo-
manly organs, when the "Prescrip-
ton" is used. Besides, it's sold on
its merits. The proprietors take the
risk.
1t is guaranteed to benefit or cure
all the disorders, diseases, and weak
nesses of women, or money is re-
funded.

Editor Huddaway of the Easton
(Md.) Ledger gives an account of a
most remarkable encounter between
a barn swallow and an English spar
row. The swallow, as stated to the
editor, had built its nest among the
rafters Of the barn of Mr.. Denney,
near Royal Oak, in Talbot county.
While on the nest the swallow was
attacked by the sparrow, and the
two birds had a furious battle, which
went on sometimes in the air and
sometimes on the ground. The swal-
low was courageous, but it had not
the wind of the sparrow and finally
had to yield to its antagonist. Hav-
ing driven the swallow from the barn,
the victorious sparrow took posses
sion of the nest and contents.
In about an hour the swallow re.
turned to the barn bearing in its
mouth bunch of something resem-
bling long horsehairs. The bird
went directly and noiselessly to its
nest, threw itself on the back of the
sparrow, and before that astonished
bird had recovered from the shock
caused by the sudden and violent re-
turn of its vanquished foe the swal-
low put horsehair moose around the
sparrow's neck and somehow fast
ened the other end of the lassoo to
the nest or to the rafter. The spar
row soon choked to death on it's IN
expected gallows, where it hung for
several days.-Chicago Tribune.
