y gentleman who has made the
matter a study says the time to de
stroy burdock and thistles is when
they are in bloom. Burdock is a
biennial plant, the first year II grows
like turnip seed, makes 10 stalk,
and if cut down at the surface OF the
ground, will sprout and branch out,
but if allowed to grow until the sec

There are two kinds of hand-shakers
that one meets occasionally that he
would just as soon not meet. The
one in offering you his hand holds out
one or two fingers in grudging sort
of way that sends cold chill running
up your spinal column. The other
is the fellow who doesn't take his
hand away but lets it remain help
leSSly in yours, leaving you to wonder
what to do with it and how you are
ever going to get away. -EX.
What is sorely needed III all classes
of society is a curb on SANDER and
back biting, making gossip a social
sin as well as bad form. People who
are aiming to improve their minds and
grow in knowledge with the age are
not the ones whose tongues run at ran
dom. They find too much of interest
in the world Of art, litature and science
to claim their attention and words to
waste their time recapitulating the
shortcomings, doings and misdoingS
of their nelghbors and their friends

An exchange is fair in its criticism
when it says that soma people are so
anxious to avoid paying the home mer-
chants legitimate margin they really be
lieve any fairy tale told them by slick
tongued travelling frauds who are entire
strangers to them. Ninety-nine out of
hundred of the soft snaps" offered
by these fellows are swindles. The
best plan is to patroniZe the home mer-
chants. They help pay a very large
part of the taxes, help support the
churches, the schools, etc. and are
citizens among us. They are RESPONSE
BILE for the goods they sell, and could
be found at any time should any thing
be wrong or goods not as represented.
The following is the result of an an
alysis Of a cigarette, made recently by
physician: "The tobacco was found
to be strongly impregnated with opium
