works hardest of ALL The first up and
the last to bed, feeding his team before
he feeds himself, his work is practically
never done. Why does not the farmer
treat his own body as he treats the land
he cultivatesf He puts back in phos-
plate what he takes out in crops, or the
land would grow poor. The farmer
should put back into his body the vital
elements exhausted by labor. If he does
not, he will soon complain of cpoor
health" The great value Of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is in its vital
izing power. 1t gives strength to the
stomach, life to the lungs, purity to the
blood. 1t supplies Nature with the sub
stances by which she builds up the body,

the substances that build up the crops.

The Pie Eaters,

Pie In New England is served in
many queer ways, especially the king
of all pies, the royal mince. Not long
ago there appeared sign in the station
of stald, crooked and correct Boston-a
sign bearing the strange device, Hot
Mince Pie and Ice Cream"
This is mild combination compared
with one that was served in this city
at a midnight supper. A Welsh rab-
bit was being made, and there were
some who did not care to eat It on
crackers; no toast in the house, for 1t
was the fires evening out A mince
pie was found lurking in the ice chest
and pressed into service. The rabbit
was spread over the pie. and both van
ished in short time. Those who ate
are still afraid in the dark, for they
can imagine that the same things are
coming for them again as came during
their dreams of that wild, weird night.
A local minister tells a pie story on
himself that is "corker" He is a
delicate man, and his wife was down
ON pie for him and vetoed 1t for fami-
ly use. Once he went to a convention
in Plttsfeld, and. dinner was served
at which there were seven kinds of
pie. The minister took a little of
each, please" and never enjoyed him
self so much in his life.-Baltlmore

when Molcott Mas Governor.

During the late Ex-Governor VOL
colts term of Office his youngest SON
Oliver, was In one of the primary
classes of a school. The teacher was
one day asking questions of her little
pupils, to give them chance to show
what they knew about one thing and
another for the entertainment of lady
who was visiting the school, and she
finally inquired: Can any one tell me
who Is the Governor of Massaehu-
setts?"
No one could tell, not even little Oil
yer.
The teacher then told every one of
the pupils when he got home to ask
his father, so as to be ready to tell her
the next day. Accordingly, when the
class was assembled the following
morning, she gave out the question,
calling on Oliver to see what he might
have to say about 1t. Oliver answered
PA says he's the H~o"uor. But !
don't believe It, cause he's always

why Bees Work In Darkness.

Bees go out all day gathering honey
and work at night in the hive, building
their combs as perfectly as If an cleo
trie light shone there all the time.
Why do they prefer to work in the
dark? is often asked Every one knows
that honey Is liquid with no solid
sugar in it. After standing 1t gradual
ly assumes n crystalline appearance
or graduates and ultimately becomes
a solid mass.
Honey has been experimentally in
closed in well corked TASKS, some of
which were kept in perfect darkness,
while the others were exposed to the
light The result was that the portion
exposed to the light soon crystallized,
while that kept in the dark remained
unchanged.
Hence we see why the bees are SO
careful to obscure the glass windows
which are placed In their hives. The
existence of the young depends on the
liquidity of the saccharine food pre-
scented to them, and If light were allow
ed access to this it would In all prob
ability prove fatal to the inmates of
the hiye.-Weekly Bouquet.
