A Noble Life.

It is indeed interesting and profit
| able to read and study the lives of no
bic men and women, and parents can
not spend money more wisely than in
supplying their children with good BIZ
ographies of great and good men who
stand out prominently in the worlds
history, not only a wise leaders but
humble Christians. 1t is also interest,"
ing to note how those excellent traits
of character descend from sire to son
through many generations. Recently
We received from the Royal Publishing
Company, Richmond, Va, a new book
entitled t.Robert Edward Lee, Soldier,
Citizen and Christian PATRIOT One
great advantage in connection with
this book is that it gives in a brief bnt
charming manner the history of the Lee
family for several years, showing that
Richard Henry Lee, Robert E. Lee and
other master minds sprang from a no.
bic family whose history is as profitable
as it is interesting. Besides an excel
lent biography Of Gen. Lee and ac-
lcount of his great military campaigns.
it tells how he won the hearts Of his
soldiers and will retain through all
ages the affection of friends and foes.
The work also contains a large number
of interesting historical documents.
The publishers advertise through u
columns for active agents, as it is sold
only by subscription. Those who dis
tribute such a work as this will be ex-
erting a blessed influence on the rising
generation besides reaping a rich and
profitable harvest financially.

Safety i'm Bmyina seeds.

There is no other way to measure the
value Of seed than by the value Of the
crop. A good crop simply a not
ONE from poor seed. Second-rate
seeds will waste good land, good fer
%tilizeg, and good labor, and the crop
wont pay expenses. Now, as the prae-
tieai farmer cannot afford to waste time
t sting seeds to find out whether they
are true to name, sound and clean, iU
stands to reason that the only safe way
to buy seeds is to seek the protection
of a name thsit has stood for reliability
in the past. The great seed house Of
d. NJ. Ferry e Co, Detroit, Mich, has
sold seeds all over the United States
ind Canada for the last forty-tY o
years, and the steady growth of the
business. is a sure indication that Ferry
seeds have given satisfaction. Ferry's
Seed Annual for 1898, i standard guide
for firmers and gardeners, containing
mach valuable information, is sent free
to persons writing for it.

Al New Form OF Personalities


The old style of portraying famous
people through a "sketchn or "biogra-
ply" is to be modernized in The Ladies'
Home Journal during 1893. Five of
the most prominent Americans have
been chosen for the departure: Presi-
dent Mckinley, Mrs. Cleveland, Mark
Twain, Joseph Jefferson and Thomas
A. Edison. Each win have a special
article, which will consist of about fif-
teen or twenty fresh. unpublished sto-
RES and anecdotes strung together,
each anecdote showing some charac-
terlstic trait or presenting a different
side of the subject. The idea is to
show famous personalities through
their own doings and sayings, and to
make these articles accurate the rela-
tlves and closest personal friends OF the
Journal the best stories and anecdotes
within their own knowledge. Each
article will thus represent the closest
view of the n sketehed. No author
ship will be attached to any Of the
articles.
