STOP WORRYING.

In the current Harper's Bazaar, DR.. S.
S. McComb, of the Emmanuel Church,
Boston, has an extremely interesting ar
ticle on Worry" in which he discusses
not only the condition, but the cause and
cure. He says, among other things:
Consider for a moment the physiolog-
ical effect of the worry habit. Regrets,
doubts, scrupulosities, fears, anxieties,
apprehensions- these harpies lay hold Of
the mind, shake it to its center, and turn
existence into a life in death. But
then man is not mind alone: he is the
unity of mind and body. The physiology
cal psychologists never tire of ringing
the changes on the mutual influence OF
mind and body, on the absolute solidarity
of brain and thought. Indeed, some
notable thinkers in our time have gone so
far as to say that what we call men
tai and what we call physical are not
two separate entities but two aspects
of one and the same thing. How
ever this may be, we know that as Pro-
fessor James puts it, All mental states
are followed by activity of some sort.
They lead to inconspicuous changes III
breathing, circulation, general muscular
tension, and glandular or other visceral
activity, even if they do not lead to con-
spicuous movements of the muscles OF
the voluntary life Now, what sort Of
physical activity does worry. lead to?
Through the medium of the sympathetic
and vaso-motor nerves it affects for evil
the secretions Of the stomach and bowels,
retards digestion, distubs the proper eli
mination Of waste products from the sys-
TEN, and thus sets up kind lf-poison-
ing or auto-intoxication. Through the
same physical machinery it affects the
calibre Of the blood-vessels and the cir
cularion of the blood Under the pres
sure of worry these nerves contract;with
the removal of the worry they relax, and
the blood flows once more freely. Thus
we can see how worry can give rise to
dyspepsia and constipation, with all their
brood of attendant miseries.

EASY TO MIX THIS.
Prepared at Home by Shaking Ingredients
Well in Bottle.


What will appear very interesting to many
people here is the article taken from New
York daily paper, giving simple prescrip-
ton, which is said to be a positive remedy for
backache or kidney or bladder arrangement, if
taken before the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce Compound Syr-
up Sarsaparlla, three ounces Shake well in
bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known druggist here at home, when
asked regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and can be
obtained at small cost from any good pre-
scription pharmacy, or the mixture would be
put Up if asked to do so. He further stated
that while this prescription is often prescribed
in rheumatic Affections with splendid results,
he could see no reason why it would not be
splendid remedy for kidney and urinary troub-
les and backache as it has a peculiar action
upon the kicney structure, cleansing these
most important organs and helping them to
sift and filter from the blood the foul ACIDS ana
waste matter which causes sickness and snffer-
ing Those of our readers who suffer can make
no mistake in giving it trial.

The Tree Surgeon and His Work.

The tree doctor is product OF modern
conditions. In pioneer days, when the
country was covered with original for
ests. there was no thought Of him; but
now. when the entire country is becom-
ing alarmed over the rapid disappearance
of our trees, he has become an important
parsonage. The profession, however, is
not overcrowded; in fact, there are yet
many sections of the country where ne is
unknown. Not infrequently the profess
sional tree doctor is called upon to treat
cases in which the cavity is large enough
to allow one or even two men TO stand
upright in it. The quantity OF filling in
such case sometimes amounts to sever
al barrels. Fortunately, however, the
filling used for trees is not as expensive
as the gold and amalgam used by the
dentist for filling teeth. That IN the
most frequent use is cement, although IN
extreme cases, where large hollow is to
be filled, rocks, brickbats and sand and
cement may be used as bed for the top
LAYER of filling. 1t is only recently that
ten tons of such filling were required for
the preservation Of giant tree IN New
Jersey. and the famous Washington elm
in Cambridge, Massachusetts, now con-
sists mainly of cement.
It is not, however, always necessary
to call in professional tree surgeon, as
most of the ordinary cases can De sue
cessfully treated by an amateur a1ter a
little experience in properly cleaning out
cavities and the correct mixing OF tne
cement filling. When tree IS already
rotten or diseased special treatment IS
required. Absolutely all diseased or de-
cavine tissue must be cut out, no matter
how large wound is made, because If
anv decay is left it would be as bad prac-
tice as If a dentist failed to cleanse
thoroughly a decayed tooth before put,
ting in the filling, and the work would
have to he done over again in order to
save the tree Harper's Weekly.

An Unappreciated Plant.

Chives is a vegetable not widely
known in this country. 1t is native
along the northern borders of the
United States as well as In some parts
of Europe. where it is popular. The
plant belongs to the onion family, and
its leaves are used for seasoning in
soups, salads, etc., and are preferred
to onions by many persons because
they are much milder and more ten
der. Europeans use chives for season
ing scrambled eggs and similar dishes
The culture of chives is simple. The
plant will grow In any ordinary gar
den soil. 1t is usually propagated by
division of the roots, because it does
not seed readily. The roots or clumps
of roots may be purchased at moderate
prices. The clumps should be planted
in beds about nine inches apart IN
rows which are two feet apart. The
planting may be done In either spring
or autumn. The chives may also be
planted in the border of the vegetable
garden and makes an excellent perlna-
nent border. AS a border plant the
clumps should be planted about six
inches apart. The leaves will grow
thickly and form dense green mat.

Tho Cankerworm AGAIN.

The worm which devastated elm
trees and apple trees in Connecticut is
the cankerworm, the same pest that
visited trees ten years ago. The worm
does its work very rapidly, but, unlike
the elm tree beetle, does not have Al
long life and consequently the trees can
put forth new foliage, though at some
sacrifice of vitality. On the apple trees
it can be destroyed by arsenical spray
ing, but the trees must be treated when
the worm is very young if the work Is
to be effective. The banding of the
trunks of the trees with vermicides IS
the most effective method of proven
ton. The reports from the state re
ceived at the Connecticut agricultural
experiment station indicate a very
great variation in the number of pests,
some towns suffering very seriously
and others being quite free from the
visitation

THE UP TO DATE FARMER.
How He Makes Agriculture q Paying
Business.

How He Makes Agriculture q Paying
Business.
The up to date farmer knows the
value of being up to date. He knows
that new discoveries in the various sci
ences related to agriculture reveal new
relations and suggest better methods.
He knows that many of the theories
held and many of the methods prac
ticed years ago, and some even now,
are worthless. He knows that one
farmer cannot make as many expert
ments as can a thousand men.
He reads books on farming and does
not Scoff at the book farmer, nor does
he refuse to listen to the college pro-
fessors, for, while he has great respect
for the students of agriculture, yet he
knows that the time has not come and
never can come when agriculture shall
be reduced to rigid science, which
shall be governed by a code of rules
and laws, as are such sciences as chem
istry, physics and the like.
The UP to date farmer has the latest
improved farming implements and to
save horsepower and to do most eff
Gent work always keeps them in per-
feet order. He does not use pillow that
will not scour nor one that is dull nor
one whose adjustment Is such that
three horses must work hard to do the
work which two could easily do with II
pillow properly adjusted. He under
stands the application of force to all
his farm machinery so that the great
est amount of work is accomplished
with the least expenditure of power
When his, farm implements are not in
use he keeps them well housed If it Is
profitable to do so. A hundred dollar
wagon shed into which a twenty-five
dollar farm wagon is backed by hand
every time the team Is unhitcheA is not
profitable.
The up to date farmer pays his debts
Not the least important. of these is the
one he owes to the soil. He knows that
each crop which the soil yields takes
from it something of its fertility and
that unless this fertility is returned to
the soil it can soon yield only a dimin-
ished crop. So he is very careful year
by year to pay back to his land that
w hiSh NlOJ
1t. He knows many ways of doing this,
and the one which he will adopt will
depend upon the neighborhood. He
knows that he can run a dairy, and
when he sells a ton of butter, worth
perhaps $500, it will impoverish his
farm no more than to sell five or six
hundred pounds of straw worth about
q dollar
He will keep his hired help all the
year, and year after year, for the longer
they are in his employ the more valu-
able they are to him and the more he
can afford to pay them. He will buy
more food than he sells, will raise all
the feed he can for his stock and will
not hesitate to buy more when needed
