A. that by which the human heart Is
stirred.
When. pressed to earth and fainting meath
It's load,
There comes some sympathetic. kindly
word.
TO brilliant gem dragged from earth's
richest mine. .
No costly pearl brought up from meath
the sea,
Can with such brilliancy and luster shine
As kindly words before which sorrows
flee.
How potent fall these soul-uplifting words.
SO gently dropped in life's dark. bitter
hours,
when fierce the tempest breaks about our
heads,
And clouds Of sorrow make us shrink and
cover!
Like oil upon the troubled water poured
Falls soothingly each gentle. kindly word.
And wounded Faith lifts up again her
head,
For Hope the tread Of coming morn has
heard.
Ehey fall like blessed sunshine from above
Upon a fountain Swallowed by dark
dread;
.1Vlth tender breathing from the throne Of
Dispelling fear and giving light instead.
they touch the lives that lie so chill and
drear,
And breathe around q fragrance and q
balm;
they scatter gloom doubt. unwhole-

And Ger the troubled life spread gentle
calm.
-eod bless whoever speaks kindly word.
And may his life-way be with sunshine
crowned,
And II at times dark shadows cross It fall,
Then may he find what through him
others found,
Kind words are deathless and can never
die:
The lips that uttered them, so full Of love.
Nay silent lie, but still their work goes on,
And links US to the throne Of God above.

It requires some care to pass the trees
without injuring them, but they will
very quickly repay this extra attention.
Each spring, about the time the leaves
begin to put out, the trunks and larger
branches are thoroughly washed with
strong suds made from soft soap, using
soft rag to apply it. It keeps the bark
healthy and almost as smooth and
glossy as that of the tender last years
shoots. These orchards are now seven

Tho Farm.Homo Lawn.

There are but few things which, at
small expense, add 50 much to the ap-
pearance of farm-home as well-kept
lawn. In order that it may aid mate
rally in identifying the place, it is not
necessary that the lawn be either large
In area or elaborate in design. It may
be very small and very simple, yet if it
IL kept clean, and the grass short and
even, it will greatly add to the attrac.
tiveness of the home to which it be-
longs. Such lawn almost any farmer
can have simply by taking care Of it.
The beauty of the lawn itself, to say
nothing of the improved appearance Of
the farm, will pay most literally for the
little time and labor required to keep
it in good condition.-Rural World.

Do Plants Have lntellixence9

Have plants intelligence? Do they
ever think? These are interesting ques-
tions that would have to be answered
by the statement of an observer of the
ways of pumpkins and melons: "Plants
often exhibit something very much
like intelligence. If q bucket of water,
during dry season, be placed few
inches from a growing pumpkin or
melon vine, the latter will turn from
its course and in day or two will get
one of its leaves in the water" We do
not vouch for the truth of this, but Il
might make an interesting experiment
Tor this summer.-Rural World,

found in the orchard from which it is
taken, though the larger Gig. y is
more nearly representative than the
smaller Gig. y. The tenants on five
adjoining farms owned by one man we're
furnished with hundred or more trees
to the farm. Thus the trees were NIL
planted III the same time, in similar soil,
and from the same lot of trees, SO that
the only difference must come as al
rect result of the planting and after
care received. In the best one of these
orchards there was no stinting in dig
ging the holes. The roots were care
fully spread and the soil mixed with
stable manure, firmly packed about
them. Every winter the ground has
been covered with manure taken directly
from the stable, a few extra forkfuls
being thrown close about each tree,
and during the summer the soil has
