THREE DOCTORS IN CONSULTA-
TON

From Benjamin Franklin.
"When you are sick, what you like
best is to be chosen for medicine in
the first place; what experience tells
you is best, to be chosen in the second
place; what reason g. e., Theory says
is best is to be chosen in the last place.
But if you can get DR.. Inclination DR..
Experience and DR.. Reason to hold a
consultation together they will give you
the best advice that can be taken"
When you have a bad cold DR.. In
clination would recommend Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy because it is
pleasant and safe to take. DR.. Expert
ence would recommend it because it
never fails to effect a speedy and per-
manent cure. Dr. Reason would recon-
mend it because it is prepared on scien-
titic principles, and acts on natures
plan in relieving the lungs, opening the
secretions and restoring the system to
natural healthy condition. For sale by

HOW TO KNOW THE FERNS.

How to know the ferns. By Frances
Theodore Parsons. Scribner's Sons.
The nature-lover who has found in
How to know the wild flowers a
charming and instructive guide to the
knowledge of our common flowers can
not fail to receive another nature book
by the same author with the flattering
welcome which he accorded its prede-
cessOr.
With a title which at once recalls the
first book How to know the ferns
may fairly be said to do for ferns what
the wild-foweI book has accomplished
for flowers. 1t is written to supply the
lack of an inexpensive and popular fern
book, to place in the hands of the fern
lover a book with adequate text and il
Illustrations. unburdened with the tech
nicalities so confusing to the unscien-
tiic.
As the author suggests in the intro
ductory chapter, the fact thas ferns
have hitherto received but little atten-
ton in this country, that they are COM
paratively so few as to admit Of a mas
terry Of ali in one summer, should plead
strongly in favor of at least a passing
interest in this fascinating department
Of nature study.
Mrs. Parsons introduces her subject
by giving some general ideas as to the
haunts and seasons of ferns, followed
by an explanation of technical terms
and a simple description of the manner
of their fertilization, development and
qualification.
In simplicity of arrangement her
classification Of the ferns is especially
noteworthy. They are arranged in six
groups, according to the manner of
fruiting. A short description of each
group is followed by the enumeration
Of the general characteristics of differ
ent varieties belonging to that group,
which is usually sufficient for identiii-
cation. In all cases, however, refer
ence is made to succeeding pages which
give more detailed descriptions, tOgeth-
err with accounts Of the habits and po-
sitions of the ferns, all the more in
teresting from the flavor of personal
experience which the author allows to
enter into this section Of her book.
Not the least attractive feature is
the ustratiOn-reproduct ORR
ginal drawings in pen and ink and sew
eral exquisite photographs A charm
ing cover design of delicate green ferns
against soft brown background gives
the final touch to a book which may
very Justly take the first rank in pop
ular nature literature.
