Running a news paper is just
like running hotel, only diff-rent.
A man goes into a hotel and finds
something on the table which does
not suit him, he does not raise
hades with the landlord aud tell
him to stop his old hotel. Well
hardly. He sets that dish to one
side and wades into the many
dishes that suit him. 1t is differ
ent with some newspaper readers.
They find an article occasionally
that does not suit them exactly and

Few persons realize that there
are twenty-four different kinds of
alcohol. about all the average
man knows is "alcohOl." He
walks into a drug store and asks
for quart. The druggist, too
often, alas, without asking what
kind wraps up bottle of wood
spirit, poison, as we learned only
a little while ago, obtained in the
destructive distillation of wood.
Physicians are VIGOROUSLY careless
in prescribing alcohol. Que of the
great surgeons of New York told a
mother to battle her crippled boy

little fellow was on his last legs.

WORK IN The GARDEN FOR JULY,

During this month very few veg
etable seeds can be sown. In Jul,
the weather is generally hot and
dry, seeds will not terminate.
Melons, Pumpkins, Cucumbers,
Squash, Tomatoes and Corn can be
planted.
1t is useless to sow Lettuce, Rad
ish or Turnips as they will not dc
well.
After the 18th all varieties of
Cabbage seeds can be sown, earn,
and late; seeds sown in July and
August, plants set out in Septem-
Der, are more certain to form heads,
than when sown in September and
October.
1t is troublesome to raise plants
in July and August, however, with
little care you can succeed.
The first thing is to prepare your
seed properly. We have in several
previous issues given direction how
to raise Cabbage plants, also Cab
bage culture. We hope you have
cut them out, pasted in your scrap
book, SC they can be referred to
when necessary.
To keep Cabbage flies from DE-
stroying young plants use tobacco
dust early in the morning when
the dew is on, for caterpillars use
slack lime.
In looking over your seed Gaia
log you will find long list of diff
ferent varieties of Cabbage, there
are only few that are suited for
this latitude, the following have
been tried by our gardeners for
years and have succeeded very we'll,

HAVE TO HAVE MERo<JNY.
tn Guatemala Natives Steal It from
 Thermemeters.

The thermometer registered 97. and looking at 1t, the two men wiped their red, wet brows.
 'Phew, it's hot" said the visitor. But why have you got your thermom- eter all incased in heavy iron wiref"
 Because" replied the host, it is a Guatemalan thermometer. In Gua temala they are all incased in wire like that
 But why?'
 ITO prevent the natives from eat ing the mercury"
 Go on!"
 Tt is a fact. In Guatemala the in. tense heat causes the natives to suffsr dreadfully from torpid liver. They know that mercury is a liver specific, but they have no money to buy 1t, 70 they steal it. For their health's sake they steal it, poor sick creatures. out of thermometers On any dark. hot night, if you hide near an unprotected thermometer, you will see . native. weak and thin, steal up to the instru- ment. He sroans and presses his hand to his aching liver; then, with . quick look round, he breaks the glass and swallows the ball of mercury in one mouthful'

But we don't teach swimming, and this is a physical art most of all inn portant Every school district ought to have natitorium.
