Don't fail to read this incident
in the life of lean Valjean after
he has won the battle for the re-
spect that is accorded to a MAN
among men:
One day he came upon some
country folk very busy pulling up
nettles; he looked at the heap NJ
plants. uprooted and ALREADY
wilted. and said
This Is DEAD, but it would
be well If we knew how to nut II
to some USE. When the nettle is
young, the leaves make excellent
green's when 1t told, It has fla
ments and fibers like hemp and
fax.
Men Are Like Nettle.
Cloth made from the nettle
is worth as much as that made
from hemp. Chopped up. the
nettle is good for poultry. pound

The seed of the nettle mixed with
the fodder of animals gives lus-
ter to their skin the root mixed
with salt gives a beautiful dye
If makes, moreover. excellent
hay, and il can be cut twice in
season. And what does the net
tie need? Very little soil. no care
no culture except that the seeds
fall as fast as they ripen and il is
difficult to gather them, that is
all.
IF we would take little
pains the nettle would be USE
Full; We neglect 1t and il be

KILL 1T.

After short silence, he
added:

That there are no bad herbs and
no bad men: ONLY BAD CUL-
TIVATORS.

of punishment taking precedence
over the idea OF reformation could
instil in the mind of a convict
such ideas as THIS?
