IT is striking fact that most persons
want to weigh more than they do, and
measure their health by their weight, as
If man were pig, valuable in proportion
to his heaviness. The racer Is not fat
the plow-horse has but moderate
amount of flesh. Heavy men are not
those which experienced contractors en-
ploy to build railroads and dig bitches.


Thin men the world over are the men
for work for endurance, they are wiry
and hardy thin people live the longest
the truth is, fat is disease, and, rs proof,
fat people are never we'll day at a time,
and are not suited TO hard work Still,
there is a medium between being as fat
as butter ball and as thin and juiceless
as a rail. For mere looks, a moderate
rotundity is most desirable, to have
enough hesh to cover all angularities. To
accomplish this in the shortest time, a
man should work but little, sleep great
part of the time, allow nothing TO worry
him, keep always in joyous, laughing
mood, and live chiefly on albuminates
such as boiled cracked wheat, aud rye
and oats, and barley, and corn, with sweet
milk and buttermilk and meats. Sugar

SUMNER PRUNING-Now is the time
to 60 over the fruit trees and the vines,
and check the expenditure of strength by
nipping off branches that are making too
great and rapid growth This will throw
the strength of the tree or vine into the
fruit, making the fruit richer and better,
and at the same time gives firm growth
to the bearing branches of tree or vine


Thumb Pruning can now be easily done;
good eye will easily detect what branch
of a tree to check, and the grape vine
should be stopped beyond its second or
third cluster, while all superhuous young
growth on the vine should be removed al
together. All the tendrils and useless
branches that only take the sap, must be
nipped off, the work will always pay well,
by largely increased crop.


Blackberry and Raspberry vines should
be checked after the fruit is set and weak
branches cut away to throw the strength to
the bearing branches to secure better
crop and better fruit lCaliforn Farmer,

How ICEBERGS ARE FoRMED.-Mr Dun
more, who accompanied the Bradford art
expedition last year to Greenland, says, in
the Philadelphia Photographer


The glacier comes moving slowly down
from the mountains, great river of ice
thousands of feet deep, sometimes ten miles
wide, to the ford or bay at the foot of the
mountain. The Alpine glaciers roll down
into the warm valleys, and there, warmed
by the sun, melt away like . piece Of wax
before candle, and form brooks or rivers


But in Greenland they cannot do that, it
is too cold. Therefore, as the ice at the
mouth of the glacier is pushed forward to
the waters edge, it must break off in pieces
and fall in; and such pieces are icebergs.
When they break off the glacier is said by
the natives to ''calve," or IAN iceberg is
born."


,an give you no idea of what beautiful
sight it is to see an iceberg break off; but
we, who have seen it, will never forget it.
Think of a mass of ice as big as the space
of ground covered by the city Of Boston fall
falling into the sea, and of the tremendous
crash that occurs when it breaks away from
its fellows, and they give it parting salute
as they groan and howl their last farewell
Now see the waves leap up forty feet into
the air, washing and lashing the glacier
with spray, and sweeping everything away
not strong enough to bear the shock then
watch the new born berg as it rocks in the
sea like huge porpoise, up and down, drop
ping here and there portions of itself, which
dive down and reappear in all directions,
and you can imagine family what it is to see
glacier ''calve an iceberg" 1t is long
time before the trouble of the waters end
or before the newborn babe ceases to be
rocked, and still enough to have its picture
made 1t is sight one never tires of.
The next day our party started to go or
top of the glacier. 1t was very hard to get
on to with our cooking utensils and photo
graphic traps, it was so very steep. We
travelled six miles on the top of it. The
sight was grand from there. 1t was about
two miles wide, and the length of it We
could not tell, as it was hundreds of miles
The depth of it was from five hundred tc
eight hundred feet. We made a few pic
lures, ate our dinner up there, and ther
started back.

he prayed, and some oue said who heard
him, that the eyes closed on earth were

he spoke as a son beloved, whose very soul

him, with their common light speeches.

The last was poor season for bees and very
little honey was stored. The open winter has
caused such colonies as are on their simmer
stands to consume much more honey than II
the winter had been steady cold. (Bees can
stand a steady cold winter much better than
one like the presently Probably one-half Of
the outdoor colonies that are alive to day
will starve to death before they can gather
honey from the Spring flowers. A very little
care and expense win save such fhon-s hasriA
death and they in return will amply repay you
next Fall. Besides, judicious feeding even to
bees that have honey enough will cause them
to feed their queen, who will commence lay
ing, and thus they will breed faster and swarm
earlier; and every one knows that one early
swarm Is worth several late ones. An cx-
pense of 25 cents to one dollar per hive will
save them from starvation and save to you

So do not neglect them or put It of and guess
they will come out all right if you lot them

My way of feeding Is to dissolve sugar In
water to the consistency of their honey. This
I give them daily in a little tin feeder, ION
which there is no patent,) a specimen Of which
can be seen at my store. Its cost Is not more
than ten cents and any tin smith can make
them; they can be applied to any kind of bivs.


II too much feed Is given the bees will store
1t in the cells and thus prevent the queen

venting the raising of young bees; hence Isay
jadicious feeding. Bees are very snort lived,
and some persons will be surprised to know
that in the busy part of the season they actu-
ally work and wear themselves oat 10 or 10

one thousand to three thousand eggs per day,

a GEM.--The following extract con-
tains whole volume of truth and sug-
geslion, and if studied and acted upon
would prevent much unhappiness in this
world, and prove most effectual remedy
for much that now exists:


sit is the easiest thing in the world to
be happy, if men and women would oply
think SC. Happiness is only another
name for love and where love exists in
a household, there happiness must also
exist, even though it has poverty for a
close companion. Where love exists
not, even though it be palace, happi..
ness can never come. He was cold and
selfish being who originated the saying
that when poverty comes in at the door
love flies out at the window and bis as
sertion proves conclusively that lie had
no knowledge of love, for unquestiona-
bly, the reverse of the axiom quoted is
nearer the truth. When poverty comes
in at the door, love, true love, is more
than ever inclined to tarry and do battle
with the enemy. Let those who imagine
themselves miserable, before they find
fault with their surroundings, search in
their own hearts toy the true cause, a
few kind words, or little for bearanee ;
will open the way to floods of sunshine
in house darkened by the clouds OF
discord and inamiability."
