For half century thousands and
thousands Of farmers and gardeners
have regarded FERRY s Seed Annual"
IS the best guide not only for the buy
ing OF seeds, but for their planting
and care. Daily reference to It's text
and illustr atoms proves it TO be the
actual beginning OF successful sea-
son. The new edition for 1908 10 now

TO the publishers for copy.
It Is high tribute to the house OF
D. NJ. Ferry & Co. that two genera
tions have planted Ferry's Seeds, each
succeeding year adding to the conf
dence that ''seed trouble" will never
arise when Ferry's seeds are planted
as 'sFerry's Seed Annual" says they
should be.
Another remarkable feature devel-
oped by the house of Ferry Is the
method OF distributing seeds to dealers
throughout the country 30 that the
planters everywhere can secure At their
home store exactly what they want
when they want it, with the absolute
assurance that it is fresh and fertile.

VIOLENT STORM ON ATLANTIC.
Five Hours in Storm Rarely Exceed.
 ed for Violence.

New York, N. Y.-From midnight Tuesday night until o'clock Wednes. day morning the steamer La Provence, which arrived in port, passed through storm, which the officers of the ship say has rarely been exceeded in vio- lence on the Atlantic
 At dinner time Tuesday the barom eter began once to fall rapidly and as midnight approached. the ship had reached an area where air was so heavily charged with electricity that the compass became worse than use less. Suddenly a terrific storm swept down on the ship. Great waves broke over the liners docks, but no rain fell, the night being perfectly clear After five hours the storm abated as suddenly as it had come. No one was injured, but the passengers were bad ly frightened.
 Capt. AliX of the liner believes the strange storm was the result of the same forces which caused the earth quake shocks in Mexico.

City Man Is Worst Bore.

It is a moot point which particular kind of shop is the dullest for an outsider to nsten to. Many people vote for golf shop. There is certainly much to be said for this view. Unin- telligible discussions about approach shots and slicings make an uniniti- ated nearer yawn about as quickly as most things. The author of "Soc:al Silhouettes," however. votes for the conversation of the hardened city man. There is, l think" he says, mo kind of conversation known to man which can for a moment com pete in point of dullness with the hab- itual discourse of the genuine city man."-London Globe.

AGE TOLD BY THE PULSE.
= From Birth to Death the Beats Have
 Steady Decrease.

How old are you? Ask your pulse. The human pulse has a wide range, even in perfectly healthy persons. The female pulse always beats fast CT than the male. and from birth to death the pulse beats steadily de crease. It has been said by great authorities that the age and sex of a person could be ascertained by the rate of the pulse alone. Babies at birth have pulse beat of 160 times minute in ease of a girl and 150 in the case of boys. At the age of four or five the pulse beats will have fall en respectively to 110 and 100. Maid ems and youths pulses average % and 90. Mature men and women av- craze 80 aud 75. Elderly men and women have an average of 60 and 90. An old woman's pulse rarely, if ever, sinks below 50, but among men a pulse beat below 50 is quite common. There are, however, great variations consistent with health. Napoleon's s pulse is said to have beaten only A times 9 minute

GONE FOREVER.

Ten years ago farmer put his mi tials on dollar bill. The next day he went to the nearest town and spent it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce and three times he heard of it in the pocket of his neigh bors.
 The last time he got it back four years ago. He sent it to a mail order house. He never has seen that dollar since, and never will. That dollar bill will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build or brighten any of the homes of the com munity. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to himself and his neighbors.
 Patronize your local merchant who helps you to pay your taxes, support your schools and churches, and lends helping hand in times of sickness and trouble.
