To Offset High Drug Prices.

The scarcity and high prices Of drugs have
led to the formation OF herb-growing societies
among the women of England and Ireland One
branch OF the movement in England has for its
purpose the effort to interest women in cultvat-
ing herbs, wherever possible, in their private
gardens, with the probability of good financial
returns, especially under present market condi-
tons
Ireland has acquired land for a demonstration
plot, and offers free advice to persons who arc
willing to engage in the industry. The plants
urgently needed arc many according to the pub
lishcd list. The leaves Of the purple fox-glove
one of the plants named in the list are said to
he worth 60 cents per pohnd, and assuming tho
dry leaves to have onc-fourth the weight of fresh
leaves, an acre of Irish soil would produce II2o
pounds, or a gross value OF S672.5o.
This opens up a wide range Of suggestion for
American women. Why should they not intro
ducc a element of profit into their gardening
operations ?-Providcncc Journal.

Here is one OF the most beautiful effects OF
love, its confidence not only in the present but in
the future as we'll.
Cynics may declare that it is only the deceit,
full way nature uses to make human beings per
form her will To such view all lovers are
Indifferent. In their confidence they bind them
selves to one another, not-for a day only, not
even for lifetime, but for eternity.
In the abundant health that love gives to Sc
many lovers we may perhaps find one OF the
provisions OF nature. And for natures not
keeping promises who say that the fault is
natures alone?
After all, what nature does is to say to lovers:
Sec what beautiful and delightful and whole
some state love is Now have shown you the
path OF happiness Stay there not, you
choose"

Why is it that love produces effects so re-

find out
In the first place, when people iall in love
they not only change themselves, but in their
eyes the whole world changes. They may have
been commonplace or dull before. But once in
love they take on a strange brightness. And how
ever undressing and drcary the world may have
seemed to them it at once becomes fairyland.
Life is great" young lover wrote to me a
few weeks ago in announcing his engagement
He had just made the discovery.
And what was the most interesting feature
in his mind was his firm conviction that life
would always be great The Astounding JOY OF
living he should always fcel

Love.
ny JOHN ID. BARuY,

European physician has said something new
about love. He has discovered that it is good
for the 1t would to follow that in
case OF nerve trouble, it ought to be prescribed.
But even the greatest nerve specialist in
the world prescribe love for any one? Is not
love one of those things that come OF their own
initiative or don't come?
have known people who have thought so
much about love that they seemed to drive it
away At any rate, they were so conscious of
their mental state that they apparently had no
power to escape from themselves. And love
means essentially sef-abandonment sclf-forgetful-
ness.
Now we know that most nervous people are
abnormally concerned about themselves. They be-
come tormented with introspecton. If they could
only fall in love they would surely escape this
fundamental cause of disease
The reasoning is so simple that it. is odd no
physician ever made the discovery before.

And yet we all know that love, that is, young
love, often called failing in love-" has marvel
GUS effect on the health. We recognize it indi-
rectly. We say of this girl that who has
lately become engaged: How much better she
is looking"
We see that her eyes brighter; her checks
have more color; she carries herself more lightly
and yet with more vigor. Through all her be-
ing there is evidently a new infusion of vital
energy.
The same results unquestionably take place in
man. But we are not nearly so interested in
men who arc in love in women. So we don't
pay so much attention.
Besides, when pretty girl grows prettier, or
when a girl not usually considered pretty becomes
pretty, as often happens under the influence Of
love, the event is of sensational interest.

were invited and were received in per-
son by Mr.. Nicholas and Mr.. Kaplan,
who compose this firm. Besides the
specially invited guests. three hundred
visitors were shown through the fac
tory. The well lighted and sanitary
arranged factory pleased all, and the
new labor saving machinery was also of
very much interest. The citizens of
Richford are very proud of their new
industry. The firm expects to employ,
in due time, about one hundred and fifty
hands, which, after fair amount of
experience. will be well'paid and stead
lily employed.

this trip than on any previous visit. He
