DrugstOres Old nnd New.

Sometimes it seems as if drugstores
have everything except drugs. The
middle aged man or woman remembers
when the apothecary shop had dis
tnctive smell of drugs and chemicals.
Nothing was in sight but jars of won
drously colored liquids and powders.
crystals and sticks and drawers of Gu
rious things with Latin labels. The
only thing that was at all attractive
for the women was the case Of fancy
soaps and perfumes, with face powders
and cosmetics, and for the men the case
of cigars. The soda fountain made the
first innovation. 1t was no such preten-
tious affair as now dominates the cor
ner drugstore however. 1t stood mod
cstly on one end Of the counter. There
were five or six kinds of sirups and no
ice cream or hot drinks. Later candy
found place in the apothecary's, then
came stationery, and now there are all
sorts of bric-a brac.-NeW York Press

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

The average life of raspberry planta'
lions Is bout six years.
With grapes the rule should be to dig
deep and plant shallow.
For roofing the best cutting of
plant is n shoot Of new growth just be-
fore it grows woody or at all tibrous.
Trees about the house make it me-"
attractive and homelike. besides sn1eld-
ing it from the cold winds of winter
and the hot suns of summer.
Cut the young trees back when plac'
ing them IN the ground and also trim
oft some Of the roots, especially those
that are bruised or broken in any way
Fruit trees cannot thrive on all kinds
of exhausted soil. The trees will make
q growth Of leaves and wood on poor
land, but they require mineral manure
to perfect the fruit
In most cases when planting shade
trees the hardness Of the trees should
be given preference over rapid growth.
It is of no ADVANTAGE to secure shade
tree early only to have it die when
most useful.
