1t is claimed by DR.. Flowers friends that
he can diagnose any disease of any person
without asking the patient a question, and
that he is the only living physician who can
scientifically do so without making a mis-
take. The Boston Globe says, " In the treat
ment OF cancer, consumption, tumor, heart,
and nerve troubles, Dr. r. G. Flower has no
equal in the world" The Boston Traveller
says: There is no experiment in DR.. r. G..
Flowers practice. Able as he is to tell any
one his disease, without asking a question,
he is not likely to doctor his patients for the
wrong disease" The New York Tribune
says: i" DR.. r. G. Flower of Boston is the
highest authority on chronic disease and en-
joys the largest practice Of any living physi.
clan. Our readers will see that this visit of
DR.. r. 9. Flower to Vermont will enable the

How to Do it So That They VIII Not

How to Do it So That They VIII Not
Shrink.
"All shrunk up and absolutely good
for nothing" said the mother of family
as she looked over the stock Of summer
tiannels, bought with the utmost care and
at great expense. And the worst of it
all is that, say what l will, | cannot get
my tiannels washed carefully. One of my
laundresses Is an enthusiast on cold
water; another has always regulated her
work by the thermometer, and the third
declares 1t makes no difference whether
the water is hot or cold, they will shrink
anyhow, and do not think that there is
any wonder that they do, considering the
way they handle them.
THESE women, good, careful souls
everyone of them, put the fianneIs onto
the washboard and literally maui them
and grind them in their efforts TO make
them clean, all of which is as unnecessary
as it is ruinOus. Sometimes in despair |
do them myself and the consequences are
that they do not shrink. | use suds,
pretty strong, and with very little sal
soda in it, and just as hot as l. by any
possibility, can handle the Iiannels in. If
it is nearly boiling, so much the better. 1
put the Iannels in the tub, pour on the
suds, cover them up and let them stand
for fifteen minutes, then take them uD
by belts or collars as gingerly as possible
with my very nnger tips, let the water
drain from theu, dip them again and re-
peat the draining process.
IF there are any particularly dirty
spots, l have soap dissolved in water TO a
pasty consistency and put bit of it on
the spots and leave them few minutes
longer. l do not rub the soap in, neither
do l rub the Hannels. | simply rinse
them up and down in the water, and this
not more than is necessary to clean them.
When | think they will do l lay them
where they will drain until the water is
nearly out, then prepOre tfresh hot suds
and put them through in the same way.
l nder no circumstances would | wiring
them or press them any more than is
necessary. They are hung out dripping,
and, if it is cold weather, they may
freeze all they choose. l had my fine
French tlannels brought in so stiff that
they would almost stand up against the
wall, and have some of them now that
are worn to rags that are as soft and pill
able as the day they were made up. Be-
fore the garments are fully dry they may
be ironed. Never use partly cool irons
and rub them again and again, tor this is
worse than the wringing and squeezing
process, but take an iron "a hot as may be
without any danger of scorching, and
manage so carefully that once passing
over the fabric will smooth it. In this
way tiannels will last to good old age
and preserve their original quality in
act"-New York Ledger.

was once the happy owner of large
ana beautiful bull-terrier, Rose, and at
The same time of a still dearer, though
less beautiful, little mongrel, Fan, both
passlonately attached to a member of NV
household, commonly called their best
friend. "A certain shawl belonging to
this adored friend was especially sacred
In Fans eyes. She never allowed any
one to touch 1t without remonstrance-
Rose least of all-and when her best
friend was in bed, it was her custom to
ensconce herself in her arms and not TO
allow any dog, and only the most favored
OF human beings, to approach without
violent groWllngs, If not worse.
Fan was tiny grandmother who had
long ruled the households; Rose, an mex
perlenced newcomer. One day, in fit
of youthful folly, Rose jumped over a
gate and spiked herself badly, and was
consigned for ten days to the care Of the
veterinary surgeon. On her return, she
was cordially welcomed by Fan and my
self; but when she rushed up stairs TO
the room of her best friend then confined
TO her bed, my mind forboded mischief
We followed, and 1 opened the door.
With one bound Rose flew into her best
friends arms, taking Fans very own
place, and was lost In rapture of lick
her, but to Iny amaZement, instead of the
fury expected. it was to Join with heart
and tongue in the licking and caressing.
She licked Rose as if she had been long
lost puppy instead of an intruder; and
then, of her own accord, turned away,
leaving Rose in possession, and took up
a distant place on the foot of the bed, APP
peallng to me with an almost human ex-
preston of mingled feelings-the heroic
self-abnegation of newborn sympathy
struggling with natural jealousy. The
better feelings triumph mot, of course,
unsupported by human recognition and
applause), till both dogs fell asleep in
their strangely reversed positions.
After this there was slight temporary
failure in Fans perhaps overstrained
self-conquest; but on the next day but
one she actually, for the first (and last)
time in her life, made Rose welcome to a
place beside her on the sacred shawl,
where again they slept side by side like
sisters. This, however, was the last
CLEAN of the special sympathy called
forth by Roses troubles. From that day
Fan decidedly and finally resumed b er
jealous occupation and guardianship of
all sacred places and things, and main
tanned it theoretically to her lite's end

All Seats Taken.

Some years ago a theater in Cbicag o
was under the management of an impe-
cunious Spectator so chronically unfor-
tunate that he felt uncomfortable unless
he was examined in supplementary pro-
ceedings twice a week. Business had
been worse than bad, and he was stand
ing one day in front of his theater watch
ing four Sheritfs carting away all the
orchestra chairs, which had been seized
for debt.
Nat Goodwin, who was passing at the
time, rushed across the street, seized the
managers hand and exclaim ed: My

Pressed as to his home the wide tomb,

Framed the still and dreamlike features
Like the halo that the teachers
From Christ used to wear.

Dead for aye the star-like flashes,
Cleaned there meier a spark;
And the meadow lark
All alone trilled out his chorus
Noiceless they that float before US

Blooms of orange die and wither,
DroOp and fall and hither thither
Fly the petals wide.

Thou art decked with blooms far fairer:
Blooms immortal, blossoms rarer

CULTIvATING THE ORCHARD.


The best tillage is that which begins
early in the season, and which keeps
the surface stirred until late summer or
early fall, and the best implements are
those which secure this result with the
least amount of time and labor. For the
first few years it is generally advisable
to turn the land rather deeply with a
pillow at the first spring cultivation.
There are many styles of clod-crushers,
springtooth harrows, cut-aways and
smoothing harrows, which will adapt
themselves readily to the cultivation of
the particular soil in question. In all fri
able or loose soils shallow cultivation is
always preferable, and in these some form
of cut-away or smoothing harrow will be
found to be efficient. When the land is
once in good condition but little effort
aud time are required to run through the
orchard. Crust should never be allowed

should be killed before they become
firmly established. The entire surface
of the orchard should be stirred as often
as once in ten DAYS.
