institution which conducts its affairs I'M

This club was founded last winter by
the young people here, and with It's
semi-monthly meetings. has proved a
great factor in getting the society BACK

guests were present.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Tn planting the orchard care should be taken to allow each tree plenty of room.
 A layer of charcoal in the bottom of flower bed is very beneficial in keep ing the soil fresh.
 In blowing in the orchard always turn the furrow toward the tree, and be careful not to injure the fine, fibrous roots.
 The life of an apple tree is often shortened because it grows in poor, exhausted soil or one not properly drained.
 When i'll or ailing. handle the flowers little or wear gloves. Delicate plants are sensitive to human magnetism, good or bad.
 Tine roots of the strawberry often reach out five feet from the main stem; hence the plants should not be set too thickly.
 An apple or cherry tree Is much more valuable if it shoots out low. Trim from the top, as this will cause the lower branches to grow out.
 Land that has been too rough for blowing may yet be sufficiently fertile to grow fruit trees and is better than land that has been exhausted by crop ping.

 "Whenever the cold weather sets in have for years past been very sure to catch severe cold which was hard to throw off, and which would leave after effects on my constitution the most of the winter.
 "Last winter 1 was advised to try Peruna, and within five days the cold was broken up and in five days more was a well man. 1 recommended it to several of my friends and all speak the highest praise for it. There is nothing like Peruna for catarrha a [ affIictions. It is we'll nigh infalIibie as cure, and gladly endorse it." --C. F. Given.

A DARING WORKMAN.
His Crazy Antics on m Diminished
 Bridge Across the Niagara.


 "I remember" said bridge con tractor some time ago while on the subject of workmen's daredeviltries, "when working at the big bridge across the Niagara when the two can talever arms had approached within fifty feet of each other keen rivalry as to who should be the first to cross sprang up among the men. A long plank connected the two arms, leaving about two and half feet of support at each end. Strict orders were issued that no one should attempt to cross the plank upon penalty of instant dis missal.
 At the noon hour suddenly heard q great shout from the men, who were all starting up. Raising my eyes, saw man step on the end of that plank, stop minute and look down into the whirlpool below. I knew he was going to cross, and l shouted to him. but he was too high up to hear. Deliberately he walked out until he reached the middle of the plank. Ii SuSSCQ IuI uOW II WILL HIS WtlSut utilH I could see light between the two short supporting ends and the cantilevers on which they rested. He saw the end in front of him do this, hesitated and looked back to see how the other cpd was.
 Il thought he was going to turn. H9 stopped, grasped both edges of the plank with his hands and, throwing his feet up. stood on his head, kicking his legs in the air. cracking his heels together and yelling to the terrified on- lockers. This he did for about a min ute. It seemed to me like forty. Then he let his feet drop down, stood up, waved his hat and trotted along the plank to the other side and regained the ground.
 "We discharged him, of course, but what did he care? He got all the glo- ry, his fellows envied him. and he could command work anywhere."- Cassier's Magazine.

What tempts the little hummiIg bird that we see in our gardens to travel every spring from near the equator to as far north as the arctic circle, leaving behind him, as he does, for season, many tropical dclightst He is the only one of many humming birds that pluckily leaves the land of gayly colored birds to go into volun- tary exile in the north, east of the Mis- sissippi.
