"How do yon know?"
"Oh! she's n.ar! ed a small a on the

"Well, I think they were real mean
not to take it. She read it to me the'

the elaborate and highly courteous
form in use in some Boston sanctams,
it did not interest her to find out. She
went to her desk, took ont the original

."Yorwrnnst know, sir, that I look
npon the pleasure which we take in a

delights in homao life. A gsrdeu was

There are gardens of every type; in
one place we see an utter lack of order
and taste, in another a stiff, formal ar
rangement which suggest ratun" a
square and compass than the graceful
beauty of nature. But there is a happy
mean where the churms of nature are
enhanced and perfected by the labor
of man and the exercii-e of tasteful
art. In this ideal garden shall bloom
the "daughters of the year" in never
ending succession, from the time the
first snowdrops aud crocuses peep from
the frozen earth, nntd the last asters
and chrysanthemums hang ragged on
their froen Btalks, in chill November
days. Here is a smooth green lawn
where perfect Ix-atity is not disfigured
by ill-designed and outlandish beds
with eeuseless combinations of colors
and foliage, but its velvet greenuess
stretches unbroken to some shaded
corner or by the margin of a Walk
where the flowers form a grateful
frame for tha lawn. Here are beds of
aunuahj which bloom iu succession, or
for the summer, as sweet peas and
basturtiums, and there a bright par
te! re. where graceful foliage or brillant
L loo en adorns some welf-ehoseu loca
tion. V lues droop from window and
bower, roses blossom in the well
pruned hedges. The lilies of J one
scent the warm air and the lied of j n
sies greets the children every day.
But this ideal garden requires much
plotting and planning beforehand so
that every waste corner 'may be util
ized, every unsightly object hidden,
and the beds tilled from month to
month with such flowers as will insure
a duily blossoming, and this early
Spring weather is just the time for
working out one a ideas upon paper
ready for trausferul to the gardeu plot
w hen Spring is fairly upon us. Orders
should le sent in early that they may
be tilled in season, pausies and other
seeds sown iu winter boxes ready for
transplanting when the beds are made,
aud every tool and seed paper laid in
order lor the busy times coming.

Jack, as we will call him, was visit

and a heavy rainstorm that was pre
vailing had caused a leak In the ceiK
ing of the laundry. Following his
grandfather to the scene of the dis

a drop of water that had oozed
through the plastering descended
squarely on the top of the latter's
bald head. After enjoying his laugh
for a moment, he turned and went
quickly up to the parlor, where the
the rest of the family were assem

bursting in upon them. 'He Is ic

"Visions of heart disease, apo
plexy, and so on, naturally were up
permost in the minds of his hearers,
who made a general stampede for the
door; but the confusion was broken
in upon by Jack's childish treble.
" 'You needn't hurry so,' he said,
'it's only an attack of water on the
brain.'"
The Ravages of tlte Itoiokworm.
One of the greatest plagues with
which the librarian ha to deal Is a
little insect called Auglossa pinguiu
alis, which deposits its larvie in books
in the autumn. These produce a

chief. Small wood-boring beetles
also cause much destruction among
the covers and bindings. The nest
preventive is the use of mineral salts
in the binding. Where this has not
been done, the hook shelves should be

pepper, and the bo .ks should I e rubbed

A SUCCESS.
(6
F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., Gentlemen:
I have suffered from catarrh for about five years
and have tried several remedies without relief
until I commenced to use Halls Catarrh Cure last
February. I must say that it is a A SUCCESS,
the dropping in my throat disappeared entirely
after the first bottle. It increased my appetite, so
that I now weigh eight pounds more than my cus"
tomary weight. I have recommended it to others
and all who used it have been greatly relieved and
speak highly of it. One of them was in my store
yesterday and expressed his wish to peddle it this
winter. Will you please let me know the lowest
terms you could furnish it for, as I would like to
keep it in stock. Hoping to hear from you
soon, I remain, Yours respectfully,
