COUNTRY LIFE

Some people seem to think that
country life is very dull, and that there
are few things of interest there; but
most certainly they belong to the class
Of people who find little or no interest
in anything. For in a great many
ways country life is mo desirous than
city life, and there are things of inter
est there.
1t is to the country that the artist
gees to copy natures work. It is to
the coun try that natures poet goes,
1t is there where nature in its real
beauty can be enjoyed, that the sick
are sent and the city people spend
their vacation.
The people in the country are not all
backwoodsmen, for we find that many
Of our great men choose rural districts
for their homes. And although we
often hear stories of country cousins,
what they say aud how they act
they surely show their ignorance no more
of the city than city cousins do of the
country, for they are often heard to ask
such questions as (which trees do the
onions grow on?'
The country girl. it is true, does not

The city girl has; yet she has pleasures
that city society cannot afford and pleas

mIack the Giant KiIIar >,

The child's story of "Jack, the Giant Killer
furnishes a striking illustration Of the efficacy
of small agencies towards the suppression OF
great evils, when judiciously used. The dar
ing exploits of brave little Jack remind us,
in their results of the wonderful achievements
of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets in battling
with the giant, Disease. Relatively, the pro-
portion between the youthful hero, and old
Blunderbore. is sapparently not greater than
that between thelit "Pellets" and the re-
lentless monster which preys upon the vitals.
Yet, the "Pellets" comes off conqueror of con-
stipation, sick headache, biliousness and kim
dred ailments every time. If you are suffer-
ing from eitheracute or chronic disorder of
the digestive organs, try this sure remedy.

OF Interest
To Farmers
SOME RURAL DoN'Ts.

Don't starve your land, lest it starv'
you.
Don't forget to make deposits. Your
farm is like bank. All drafts will be
honored if you keep your account good
by frequent desposits of fertility.
| Don't borrow if you can avoid it. II
you do, returnpromptly, in good con.
dition, or make it good.
| Don't make debt if you can possib.
ly 60 without it. Interest has eaten
many a man out of house and home.
Don't idle your time away. Usefully
employ it. and you are on the road to
prosperity.
Don't grumble, or look on the dark
side of things. Cheerfulness bri
health and friends, and lead to success.
! Don't forget to be temperate in all
fittings; not only in eating and drinking,
but in labor and pleas ure, and in all
the multifarious affairs of life.
Don't forget t., lie You wife and
children have little of the money
they have earned to crafty their in
dividual wants and tastes. 1t is only
justice.
Don't lose your head. Keepcool and
use sense. Don't get mad and ratified.
Don't let the weeds grow and seed,
lest they absorb your profit.
Don't neglect the garden, as it adds
much to the pleasures of the table and
healthfulness of living.
Don't forget that fruit often takes
the place of medicine, and is much
cheaper. There is pleasure in eating
that of your own raising.
Don't forget that the pure air, sun
shine and freedom of the country, is
much more wholesome than being Gagged
up in the city.
Don't forget that the country is the
place to raise up family of boys and
girls away from the contamination Of
city and town life.
Don't forget that flowers indoors
and out are the most attractive of all
forms of ornamentation. A humble
cottage, with its shrubs, vines and
flowers fingers in the memory of the
passer-by. when the stately mansion
without nat ure's beauties has been for
gotten.
Don't forget TO give the boy and girl
practical education. All theory and
no pratice makes worthless man or
woman.
Don't forget that the firm newspaper
is full of helpful suggestions. You
need one, or more, to post you in your
profession. 1t is the literature of your
business.
Don't think you know all there is to
be learned about farming; you are only
on the edge of its poss Utilities.
DON'T forget that the pleasures of
farm life will be much enhanced by
the advent Of good reads and free mail
delivery.

FAC rs FOR FARMERS.

Radishes are har dly, and the seeds
may be sown early. The ground should
be very rich, SO as to force th EN- in
growth, which causes them to be crisp.
Radishes may be sown in the rows of
vegetables that are slow in appearin g
above ground, so as to delineate the
rows, the seeds of the radish germinat-
ing very quickly, permitting he plant s
to grow and be pulled out of the way
before the latter kinds in the rows be-

points on housekeeping that would
make them open their eyes. Itrequires
greater executive ability to manage a
house that is dainty and artistic in all
its belongings than one whose chief
characteristics are baroness and clean
| illness.
Draperies and brio -a-brac and downy
cushions represent work in the way of
airing and dusting and beating thai
our grandmothers were strangers to.
Not that there were no curl aims or
cushions in the good old days, but
they we're by no means so universal
and were found principally in homes
of veal h, where there were servants
galore.
The housekseper who has inspired
my present theme is what might be
called ':new woman" She is ply
sician; she has commodious and ele-
CANT home which is always in perfect
order and perfectly managed; she has
four young children, whose wardrobe
and education and amusements sre
managed with the most perfect gen.
eralship; she is a mem Der of Sorosis,
and finds time for social pleasures as
well, and, best of all, her husband,
himself a professional man of note. is
happy and proud of his wife.
Down to the smallest detail her
housekeeping is a perfect system per-
fectly managed. The mattresses of the
beds are all encased in muslin slips.
which are laundered with regularity;
there are laundry bags in each room
for collars and cuffs and han dkerchiefs;
in the buffers pantry hangs a bag of
heavy linen in which is kept by itself
all soiled table napery.
There are silken bags for dust cloths
10 some out of the way corner of each
room, and little feather bric-a-brac
busters at hand wherever needed; there
are always a whisk broom and hat
brush in the hall, and large and small
brooms and dustpans on each floor.
The library and guest room contain
materials for writing a letter, and in
the latter room is also well-appointed
work basket, which enables the fortu-
nate occupant to take the stitch in
time that is popularity supposed to
save nine. There are probably few
working housekeepers among the new
women, but in their ranks will be
found a new and better class.-the ex.
ecutiye housekeeper.

many cases, more enjoyable. A great
deal of the city girls time is taken up
| in her social affairs, while the country
girl finds time to make herself useful
in parlor or kitchen, and, if necessary,
she is not afraid to help her brothers
make hay. Yes, she does dress odl,
but as fashion, in a great many cases,
is deformity, her dress is really the
more sensible.
And the country boy, you say, "He
is so awkwardl" that may be- trle; but
it does not always take the politest airs
and manners (which we find in some
city lads) to make the man. 1t i:
with feeling of freedom that he en-
ters into the sports common to boys
and not with fear of his ball bou ndine
through some someone's window.
Educational advantages are not in
the country what they are in the town,
but is it from the country that the
vigorous lassies and robust lads come:
and it is not better to start out in life
with strong constitution and mind
capable Of grasping ideas, than with a
somewhat trained intellect and a con.
stitution that will not admit the use oi
the intellect. 1t is the pure balmy all
and the better observance of natures
laws that tends to give the country
youth and maiden sound physique.
One thing that is very noticeable in
county child is how we'll the power
of observation is trained. Every
country boy can tell you something OF
the habits of the birds and wild ami
mails he isaccustomed to seeing. He
knows where the squirrel builds its
nest, and how to track and trap the
rabbit.
Someone has nicely said: Thrice
happy is the country child or the ore
who can spend part of his young life
among livi ng things near to natures
heart"

A vast mass of direct unimpeachable
testimony proves beyond any possibility Of
doubt that Hoods Sarsaparilla actually
does perfectly and permanently cure di-

of cures is unequalled and these cures have
often been accomplished after all other
preparations have failed.

HYGIENIC.

Never eat between meals unless you
are an invalid. The meals of the day
should be substantial breakfast, a
light lunch and good dinner; do not
drink tea more than once a day, and
never with meat.
Go to between 10 and IL, taking a
warm, but not hot, bath first, and add
to tee bath a little ammonia. This
cleanses the pores of the the skin from
the dust and dirt of the day, and SO
allows free perspiration during the
night, and also induces sleep. A glass
of cold or hot water taken just before
getting into bed fushes the system
and &C as sedative, while glass of
hot alter slipped in the morning often
cures even obst mate Indigestion. Do
not read in bed, and do not keep a
light in your room, as it not only tires
the eyes, but consumes the good air we
rtquire for ourselves.

After the plants have been taken
from the hot-bed do not permit the hot.
bed to grow crop .of weeds, but use
it as a cold frame. It is just the thing
for lettuce, or the tender plants may bs
started in it on pieces of sod. Any use
for it is better than that of weed grow
ing.

OATMEAL FOR YOUNG CHICKENS.
Whole oats are not the best feed for
hens that are laying. They are moi
cor centrated enough, and wheat, which
contains much the same elements OF
food as does the grain of the oats, is
much better. But for young chickens,
there is no betterfood than ground oats
sifted SO as to take out the coarser chaff
and made into a cake. This will be
eaten readily, and it will make the
young fowls thrifty, even while pro.
ducing feathers, which is always the
most critical period Of their growth.
