whom he rather resemhled just now, and
the drop of nearly thirty feet the deep sea.
Thomas looked upwards and perceived
a climb OF fifteen feet, at least. to the
nearest bough: he looked downwards-and
IL made him quite giddy. so high had he
climbed. Also his paws and muscles gen
orally were strained and weary, and the
devil. in the shape of Mr.. Robin. sat and
yawned and watched him. as though with
indifference though with very nasty look
about the eye, up above. Thomas blinked
and his ears lay back on his head with
rage and fear. and his back tried TO arch
but failed by reason of his uncomfortable
attitude. which did not lay itself out for
arching: and Thomas opened his mouth TO
swear or say his prayers, and cannot say
for certain which, because 10 sound came.
Mr.. Robin allowed Thomas to thorough
~ enjoy his position for a minute or two:
then he called his wife: Come on, mis-
sus" he cried, land you shall see some
fun--I have Thomas the cat on toast-no
hurryi"-or words to that effect. Mrs.
Robin arrived at once and sat down 10
watch. and | verify believe the five little
ones popped their heads out of the nest
and watched also.
Mr.. Robin now took the field. He quietly
left his bough and poised himself in air
close to Thomass distracted person.
Thomas rudely spat at him and viciously
struck at him with one of his front paws
which he unfastened from the bark OF the
tree for the purpose. This nearly lost him
his hold aud he quickly grabbed the trunk
again. and spat freely. Then Mr.. Robin
delivered his main attack. He swooped al
Thomas and dug his business like beak
into his head and his body: once, twice.
and third time he repeated his blow. and
Thomas found his voice ard rlmmaged
his vocabulary for all the worst things it
contained.
Put hard swearing did not save Thomas.

The man with weight on his leg
can't hope to win in the race. A man
with weight on his health can't
expect to compete in life and business
with those who are not handicapped.
If his brain is heavy, and his blood
sluggish, because of constipation, he
will not succeed in doing anything
very well. Constipation is the cause
of nine-t enths of all sickness Symp-
toms of it are sallowness, Iistlessncss,
poor appetite, bad taste in the mouth:
dizziness, biliousness, and iassitude.
Constipation can be cured easily and
certainly by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are not at all
violent in their action, and yet they
are more certain than any medicines
which are so strong that they put the
system all out of order The great
advantage of the pheasant Pellets" is
that they cure permanently.

Good Use for Old Tin Cans.

Where canned goods are bought
from the stores, there is an accumu-
lation of tin cans, and when roofing
cuttings, or transplantlng seedlings, [
find them very useful.
Here is my way of preparing them.
When burning rubbish they are
thrown into the fire and left there a
few minutes until the soldering is
melted, then with long stick they
are drawn from the fire; they are
then without top or bottom and open
at the sides. Then I take boxes near
ly same height of cans, set the cans
in the boxes closely together SO that
the edges of the cans will meet, then
good soil is thrown in the box until
the cans and the intervening spaces
are filled, then young plants, cuttings,
and sometimes seeds are put in the
cans, and they remain in these cans
till large enough to set out in the gar
den; a hole of sufficient size to re-
ceive the can is made, the can taken
up by pressing the tin together to
prevent the soil falling out, set it
where wanted and fill in the soil
around can, now take hold of the can
at the top where the side is separated
and by a gentle outward pressure you
will loosen it from the plant and can
lift it out of the ground without dis
turbing the plant I find this as sat-
isfactory as transplanting from pots,
and it is done as quickly.
When roofing geranium cutting l
put soil first in the box, then push the
cans in the soil holding the sides to-
gether the soil will keep them closed
do not put the cans very near for the
little cuttings need room to reach
out. When I think the cans are full
of roots, [ transplant to larger pots
or put in the ground. Gypsy.
