' PART II. YounglDector John Rhodes wuz a prime favorite of mine and had always been. He • had as much goodness and common sense and emartness about him as any young man I ever ect eyes on. He wuz good-lookin' : too, with keen dark eye's; kinder laughin' j and kinder ead eyes too, as if , he see nater - ally on beth sides of life—the bright side and pathetic side. Tall, broad -shouldered, manly lookin', he was as nigh, as I could make out from -what I'd hearn, as nigh the opposite of Anna's bo as you could find. Well, young Doctor John took her little slender white wrist in his hind and counted her heartbeats by his watch, and mebby he, counted 'ern by his own heart tOo, for Anna did look sweet as a plater as she lay there with her golden hair all kinder curly round her pale face, and her big violet -blue eyes and the waves of white lace about her neck, comin' up round her soft cheeks that wuz jest about as white. Well, he left her some powders and some tablets, and said he would Come ag'in the next day. And she lifted her;soft, sad 'blue eyes to hisen and looked so confidin' and innocent and sweet at him that I didn'e wonder that it took him such a. long time to fold up the powders, and why he seemed to linger round as if he wuz loth to go. But at last he did go downst aire, and I follered him, and he _turned round in the settinhroom and faced me, and in a' honest way that would be invaluable in a doctor if follered up, he sez, " What is really the matter with herenunt Samantha ?" And I sea, " A lack of commOn sense. in her mother, or that - is what started the trouble in the first place.", Sez I in a sort of a blind way, " There is mebby. other cern- plications now that will have to be tended to." And I walked eff into the buttery. I wuzn't goin' to mention Van Bibber to him —no indeod ! and wben I come out I brung a phte of cream cookies ; he likes rny .cookies to a' extraordinary degree, and these wilz jest out of the' oven, and he eat three, and then went away with one in his hand. He appreciates good cookin', yes indeed Well, the next mornin', bright an' early, young Doctor John wuz there ag'in, with a pink rose in his buttonhole (I never see that before), an' he made ti. long call, and so the next day, and the next, and the next, and she a-gainin' all the time, and a-beginnin' to talk real bright anhi chipper to him, and the seventh day young Doctor John said that it would help her to ride out that very day, for the air wuz jest exactly right. And I 8CY, " Well, I don'e know what I oan no, for Joeiah is away with both horses." - And he scz dreamily, " Yes, -1 met him, but," aez he, " as it happens I took my low, easy phaeton this-afterneon, and I can take her a short ride as well as not." And I sea, " Won't to morrow do V,. And he stz, " No, for to -day the air is jest exactly right" - And I, not wantin' to hurt her, fell in with the idea, and I see she wanted to go." Now, if I hadn't trusted him jest as firm as I would any old deacon or pastor wouldn't have heard to the ides, but I did trust him implicitly and so I agreed to it. And when he brung her back, she with a pretty light in her eyes and a soft color ou the white cheeks, he sez, As it happens, I have -got to go up the mountain in the morning a few miles, and I will take Mise Anna out again if you think best." And I sea, " Josiah can take her." And he sez, " No; Uncle Jesiah is busy ; don't bother him." " Well, sea I, kinder langhin' in the in- side of my sleeves, '" doctors are most al- ways busy." And he sea ag'in', " I have got to. go up there, and mountain air is just' what she needs." Well, in a few days he said ehe needed lake air. And when I begun to plan how- to get her to it, he said it -happened jest so that he had got to go down on the lake shore a few miles off, and he could take her jest as well as not, andehe °seemed glad to go—glad enough ; and every single day ehe serned to feel better and look better. Early hours to bed and to rise, fresh, pure air, wholesome, nutritio-ris food, and easy, loose clothin' had all done their healing work on her. Why, I had let out her pretty muslin dresses most half a finger under each arm, and she dant as well die as to girt herself in ag'in, my eye wuz that keen on her, and yet lovin'. And I went to Jonesville myself and picked her out a pair of common-sense shoes, but pretty ones, russet color ; why, good land she didn't wear but number three any way --they, wuz plenty big enoogh, and I admitted it. And I spoze her free- dom from foot sufferin' helped her a great sight, and her winder wuz always open nights, She had got to likin' me too well not to do as I said, and when she see me calmly carryin' the pickle jar down stiller an' put a stun on it, site knew that ended pickles ; and when she asked Josiah to git her some candy, and I calmly took it and eat it up myself, makin' me dead sick, but dole' it cheerful in a martyi way, she didn't ask him ag'in to git her anything earahup- tishiously, and it wuzn't long before her well stomach didn't crave such trash—rich cake and pickles and pies and such. And she begun to git so plump that -she laughed and said I would have to let out her dresses ag'in. And I diel before she went home—more than a inch on each side, and her cheek's grew pinker and her eyes got brighter lend brighter, and I didn't wonder a mite that the kinds of air she had tq ride ott to take wuz so various, and lay in such different directions, and young Doctor John -='Veuz so willin' to take her to 'em. Well, Anna;had‘wanted to surprise her mamma when she come to see her so much better, so we haidn'ti eaid nothin' in our letters about the great improvement and etiange in her, and the very day that Doctor John and she went out on a two mild's walk, two out and two in, I got a letter from Aibina Ann tellin' me that- she 'had seen a new kind of a' invalid chair, and askita' Me t o ask the doctor if he sposad it would be a benefit to Anna, and sez she " Xour evasive remarks about my poor,' dear invalid !makes me fear that I shall never see her ag'in, acid.- sea she, r dremp last night of at- tending a funeral, and I waked up and lay for rnorZn an hour plannin' out ithe funeral when she ia took from me.

Oh, Albina Ann thoughr, enough of her, I could aee that, and kept her in her mind day and night. And the day I let her' dress out 'for the second time, that, wuz the time she went out with her Uncle Josiah to rake the meadoW, and come in laughin' and rosy on top of the load, jest as Doctor John drove into the yard, makin' her face look resier than ever. Well, that day Albina Ann writ to . me ag'in, and inz she : " I write to you, for I know that Annie is too feeble to write to me, and I want you to tell pie, and tell me plain, if -you think that she is going to live until fall, for I must, if she is in immediate danger, I must leave John and hie wife aud the twins, sick as they be • for I must, I most see my darling, my i'dol once 'more." Well, writ her a sort of a comtortin' letter, that would eettle her mind some and stiddy it ; all the while I wuz a-writin' it I wuz ahearin' Anna's' ringinlaugh out in the yerd, where- Doctor John and the stood talkha' and'aelaughin ith my comparCion. Well, Doctor John wuz here about eVery day, and it wuz plain enOugh to see what wuz in his mind • he had never paid any. attention to a girl before in his life as I ever hearn on, and it I' wuz any judge of girls (and I fancy I am a splendid judge) An- na wuz jest as fond of him as he wuz of her. Van Bibber, that poor, dissipated scamp, I felt ha.thonly stood in the vestibule of her fancy, while Doctor Jonn, I believed, had opened the door to her heart and walked in there to stay. Well, I felt that all I had to do wuz to set down and trust the Lord ; that's all we can do after we've done all we can ourselves. Let mothers take this great truth into con," eideration and consider on't ; surround your young girls with good society, and when I say good I den't, mean necessaeily rich, but good, honest and reliable ; then. you can set down your chair and rest, knowin' that whatever is the Lord's will to happen won't bring grief and shame to yoor heart. If it is His will to have your girl .a bachelor maid, thank God and take courage ; if it is His will to have'her unite her fate to a companion, why aCcept it as His will and make the best on't, but 'tenoyeate and any- way, don't, don't let her marry a shack, and- to iissure: that don't let a shack come hangin' round. Well, everything seemed to be a-goin' as I wanted it to ge. Considerin' the Van BiPper episode, I couldn't act exactly as I Would if I had took her fresh from the cradle. In them latter circumstances I would impress ag'in and ag'in on a girl's mind how many mare avenoos there WI= to walk. in besides the -matrimonial one—broad, glorious avenoos, full of helpful and grand peseibilities. But the -Van Bibber eppisode had hampered me, and se, as I say, every- thing seemed to be it-goin' as I wanted it to. Andyeb anon or,oftener I had a feel - in' that if Anna couldn't be broke for good of her foolish ways—foolishness nurtured and fostered by Albina Ann—I didn't want Doctor John's life spilte. And then ag'in, a good deal of tha time I noticed her sweet disposition, and put a long white mark On that ; her readiness to fall into better ways when she found 'ern out—another long white mark. As for his likin' for her, I felt that I needn't mark that, for he had done it him- self. And if she didn't know as much as Sappho or Aspaaia, that I've -heard Thomas J. read about, I knew men never cared any -too much about that, and as for Miss *Sappho and Miss Aspaisa, I never thought any teo much of either On 'em, from what I'd hearn ; Miss Sappho, with all her smart- ness, drowned herSelf, and as for Miss Aspasia, there's sights of talk about her and always has been. And then I felt a good deal of the time ;that Doctor John had smartness enough for 'em both, and Anna wuzn't nobody's fool, and I felt that the sun of his strength and love would bring out the colors in her mind and soul jest as the sunlight changes a poor suller-kep' houseplant in the spring of the year, Well, anyway and 'tcnnyrate, I had to_ let it go on ; -I jest had to, for the stream wuz a-gettin' too deep for me to ford or dam (metafor)—I meant the stream of deep true love that wuz a'flowin' round Anna, and bearin' her on its deep bosom into hap. piness, as I truited and felt. I felt that it had got to bear her where it wilted to. Well, one day Anna and Doctor John had gone up the mountain road ; the air wuz balmy as if it blowed off a bed of balm, and I had seen the happy pair set off Under the morning sun, a-lookin' freeh and bright almost as that luminary itself, only of course not so dazzlin'. And my Josiah had gone into the wood - lot for a load of stove -wood, and I'd put on a clean gingham -dress and sot there in my clean kitchen alone in all my glory, same as Solomon did or the. Queen of Sheba, I've most forgot which one on 'em it wuz, when I heard a rap 'on the door and I went and opened it, and there stood a chap that I knew by the first look on him svuz Van Bibber. Ile had that same look on him, sort o' dissipated, and yet kinder stylish and handsome, that I felt certain could be- long to no other. I invited him in and sot him a chair, for I felt that he was a-goin' to have a bad enough time without stemdin! up, and he 13,v 2; most the first thing : " I want to see my affianced." And I sea in a pert way, "Nobody by that name is here or been here." Sez he, " My betrothed." And then I sea, " I don't somehow seem to recognize the name." And he yelled up a little, " The girl I'm engaged to, Miss Anna Peak ; or that ie," sez he, " I've considered it the same as'an engagement, though perhaps it hasn't quite reached that point." " Oh," sez I, " you mean Anna ; well, she is not here jest now." " And," he stz, his red face growin' redder, and his kinder bloodshot eyes dart - in' angry gleams, " I have heard all about your treacherous conduct and I've come to settle with you." " You -have, have you ?" sez I, and I turned over the sock I wuz a mendin' and ateackted it in a new place. " Yes," sea he, " I've heard how you have encouraged the attentions of another man to the girl I was as good as engaged to, the girl I've paid attention to for years." Sez I oalmly, a lookin' him over as if he wuz banty rooster " Have you paid atten- tion to her exclusively ?" " I have never -paid attention to another lady I" he yelled en quite a loud voice and shrill. " Mebby not," eez I, and I went on, " Anna can do as shetpleases, but if I wuz a young girl," sez I wouldn't accept the attentions of a man who divided his atten- tions between me and a gamblin' hall and horse races," sez " What do you mean ?" he yelled out. " Jest what I eay," sez I, a gettin' up and puttin' in another'stick of wood, and a -seat - in' myself some nigher the woodbox, for I didn't know what he might be led to do, for I could see as plain as anything that he wuzn't quite himself, and you never can celculate what such a man may take it into his head to do. But I telt considerable easy when I had a good stout birch stick of wood right at hand, not that I wuz reedy fraid 'on him ; dissipation had told on him so he looked considerable tottlin' and shaky under all the outside veneer of fashion he'd put on • but how can you tell what a poor eniserab'le tike will take irito his head ? Wby, dissipation jest unhinges all the moral and spiritual graces, all the manli- ness and self respect and will -power, and jest lets 'em all tottle down into ruin, and I don't believe he had many graces to unjint in the first place. " What do you mean ?" sea he, lookin' meachin' and meachin' as a dog. " Why," sez I, a-feelin' it my bounden duty to stand between Anna and trouble, " I mean that it is a shame and a disgrace for such a man as you are to even talk of- takin' a sweet, innocent young girl into a life like yours." " She fills my heart," sez he, " and my life, and has for years." " Not full !" sez I, look in' at him keenly, " not full ! If she did her sweet image would have banished the other vile inmates that have abeunded there—wicked , com- panions, evil ways of all kinds. What room is these hi that black crew for an innocent young life like Anna's ? Have you got the heart ?" sez I, " to try to entice that young girl into such a life as you know the wife of a dissipated man must lead—into woe. and wretchedness, and an early grave, moat likely ?" " I would reform," sea he ; " I would become a different man for her sake." " Why haven't you, then ?'' sez I. " Why haven't you reformed in all these years when you wuz on probation, as you may say, a.tryint to win her love ? Do you think that you'd do better when you wuz suee of her arl she wuz in your power ? " Now," sea I, " I don't want to be hash to you and 1 don t want to hender you from singin' that ' While the lamp holds out to burn The vilest sinner may return,' but I don't want you to sing it here ; I want,you to go away and let Anna alone." " I never will," sez he. ,, ell," sea 1, " I will See about that " ; and I got up and went to the back door and called out lend : " Josiah, I want you and Ury to come right here I" We 1, my conscience has twitted me about that performance more'n a hundred times Hence, if it has once. But, then, I would kinds argy back, when I would git all wore out w th that conscience a-prodin' me, I did want osiah to come that very minute, and I wou d have liked to see Ury step in, there hain't a doubt on'e. And what of it, what if [fry was to Three Mile Bay for a load, of spruce, and what if Josiah Allan wuz two milds end a half away in our wood -lot, I wantet1 'em, there haint a doubt of that, and I didn't lie. And I spose I might jest as well tell it right here as anywhere, Josiah has told it more than twenty times ie one day by the 1 clock he sez, and I believe it implicitly, Josiah sez that he had jest driv into the woods and had commenced to lead the wood in wh n he sea he beans me say : " Josiah, I want you." And he sez there wuz in my voice a certain ring of urgent need and anxiety that made him turn the team right round and come home on the gallop, and consequently he met Van Bibber down by the big butternut tree. For after I called to them men, for all the world jese as if they wuz inside the barn door, Van 13ibber turned on to his heel and went off without biddin' me " good -by," or " good -day " or ili:nythin'. He yanked the lines offen the post (he had hitched by the lines—didn't know any more—and I spoze he broke sunthin', somehow, for he seemed to be fool.' in' round with the harness for quite a spell ; I spoze his hands wuz clumsy and helplese owin' to his state) and so, as I say, Josiah come a-gallopin"long, and ,past him down by the butternut tree. Well, to me that little episode always went to shoW how closte the ties be unitin' two true hearts, and how queer and curious the atmosphere is that surrounds 'em. My voice in need reached the ear that Love had attuned to hear it. Strange, strange is the mysteries of ra dnere.

But Josiah looks at it different ; he thinks that it wuz me nateral voice that he hearn, and sez he : " Sa.manta, I always told you that I could hear you two or three milds away, and now I've proved it ; your voice is shrill," gez he " and you don't realize how loud you holler." " Why didn't Ury hear me ?" sea I scorn- fully. " Oh, there is a limit to the ehrillest voice. You couldn't expect to talk back and forth with folks clear to the Klondyke.') Well, there wuzn't no use aargyin', and he has throwed that episode in my face -ever Bence, and I epoze he always will. But good land, I don't care ; I know that we got rid ef Van Bibber for good and all, for he didn't make much of any move after that episode of advice and warnin' to him. I guess he did write to Anna once or twice, but she never noticed his letters, and it wuzn't but a few months before be married a rich widder, Well, it wuz on a bright September day that Albine Ann come to Jonesville, after Anna had had only three months, mind you, of common sense treatment and reasonable livin', and wish you could have seen her face as it rested on Anna's for the first time. You see, ehe come in dretful pimpin' and pensive lookin', for John's wife had had a siege, and Albina Ann had nursed her faith- fully, and John too and the twine, and they wuz all a -pulling through. But bad and wore out as Albina Ann felt, she didn't feel too bad to have that white dotted veil over her made-up face, and her dress tight as tight, could be, and sot up on wobblin heels half a finger from the ground, a-prtchin' her kinder forwards. I pitied her. And her first words was : " She is is alive, hain'e she ? Do tell me so I Is she in the spare bedroom ? Oh," sez she, " to come from one bed of sickness to another ?" and she sithed and kinder groaned, and started for the chamber stairs. Se z " She has gone out fer a ride." " For a ride !" sez she in ainaze, " then she can't be in immediate danger," and then she sez, " Oh, how 1 have dreaded to come from the almost dying bed of my dear ones in Denver to the sick bed of another." " Well," stz I, " Anna hain't bedsick, and," sea I, " you'll see her in a minute," for I hearn 'em at the gate. Well, when that plump, rosy-cheeked girl, with sparkling, laughing eyes, bounded into the room (her Uncle Josiah had told her that her ma had come) and threw her arms round her neck and kissed her, you could have knocked Albina Ann -over with a pin- feather. I felt conscious struck, and as if I'd ort to told her. Her face turned ghastly pale under the false color, and she, looked at Anna and then at me in a stunted, dumb- foundered,helpless way, pitiful in the ex• treme, that most made me 'fraid that she had lost her faculty. But pretty soon she gradually brightened up into a happy, bliss- ful look, and her nateral color returned, and how she did hug and embrace Anna, and she says to me in a solemn way, " It is a meri- cle, Samantha !" " No," sez I, " no mericle, only a tri- umph of common sense and common-sense remedies—pure air, early hours, wholesome food, etc., etc." , And then ehe noticed her dress, I see— the absence of cosset, the common-sense shoes. But she never lisped a word ag'inst it, and hain't to this day, so fur as I know. The shock had been too great ; she had seen the dead raised to life, as it were, and it had shook a little common sense and gumption into her. I ketched her myself the next mornin' a-lettin' out her travellin' dress, and she let her cosset out some. I have some hopes of her. Well, to resoom backwards a spell. .Doc• tor John come in with my pardner, and when Albina Ann see that splendid, noble lookin? young man, and comprehended how and what it wuz, and that Van Bibber wuz only a dark shedder in the past, and would not shade Anna's future ag'in, she sez to me, in them solemn axents out on the back stoop, " Another mericle, Samantha ?" And I EZ, " No such thing, Albina Ann ; nothing only another triumph of common sense. Do you remember what I said to you about eurroundin' young girls with good society ?" And I felt so well that I went on and episoded a little right there. Sez I, " When you let a cat. into a cream - dairy what do you expect, or a dog into a bone factory ? Will the cat pay any atten- tion to the catechism, or the dog to the dox- ology ? No, you can't expect them to change their naters all of a sudden. So with young folks ; throw young hearts to- gether in the spring time with no warnin' ; what is the result ? Why, the trees and flowers and everything baeom out under the sun of spring, and young hearts stand ready to bloom out under the sun of love, and yen ort to be careful, careful as to the material you surround 'em with." But I see she wuzn't pa.yiu? the attention she ort to, and eg'in I see her look at Doctor John proudly and happily, and she murmur- ed ag'in. " It is a mericle, a mericle I" And I sez ag'in, bein' brung down from the mount of eloquence on to the plain of common sense, " it haint no such thing ; it is nothin' but siftin' good wheat from bad, and usin' a little plain horse sense." Well, Albina Ann wuz always contrary ; she's never gin in, nor I nuther. She al - ,ways to this day contends that it wuz a mericle, and see, she gives Providence all the praise for tbe hull performance, which, of course, I want her to do, and still— Well, if I hadn't acted out what I be- lieved wuz the will of Providence, she would have come oub pretty slim. Anna and Doctor John wuz married 'long the next winter, and I went to the weddin , proud as a peacock of the bright, healthy, happy looks of the bride—sweet as a rose, too, she looked under her white veil. And they have settled down in Loontown, in a pretty cream -colored cottage nigh the old doctor's.- And everybody sez they are the very happiest couple in Loontown. She knows enough I And he jest wor- ships her, and she him, and_ they both set store by me, eights of store. THEa END. WEAK FROM INFANCY. The Unfortunate Condition of Miss Ernestine Cloutier. As She Grew Older Her Troubles Became More Pronounced—Doctors Said Her Case Was one of General Debility, and Held Out Small Hope of Recovery— She is Now Well and Strong—A Lesson for Parents. From the Telegraph, Quebec. No discovery of medicine in modern times has done so much to bring back the rich glow of health and the natural activity of healthy young womanhood to weak and ail- ing girls as has Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Girls delicate from childhood have used these pills with remarkably beneficial effects, and the cherished daughter of many a household has been transforms from a pale and sickl girl into a happy wet robeet con- ditAiomnobnyg htehier umsea.ny who have re erined health an strength through the use I Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is Miser Erneatine Cloutier, he fifteen year old daughter of Mr. G. A. Cloutier, residing at No. 8, Lal- lemand eet, Quebec city. Mr. Cloutier, in an into view with a representative of the Telegraph gave the following account of his daughter' illnees and recovery " Almost from infancy my daughter had not enjoyed good health, her constitution being of a frail character. We did not pay much attention to her weakness, as we thought she would outgrow it. Unfortunately this was not the case, and as she grew older she became so weak that I got alarmed at her condition. For days at a time she was unable to take out of door exercise, she became listless,her appetite failed her, and as time went on she could not stand without supporting herself against something, and at times she would fall in a faint. I called in a doctor, but his medicine did not help her and she was grow- ing weaker than ever. 'Another physician was then consulted, who pronounced- her case one of general debility, and gave me very little hope for her recovery. Some months ago, while reading one of the daily papers, I came across the case of a young woman bured by the use .of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, so I determined to give them a trial. After ehe had used about three boxes the color began to come back to her cheeks and she began to grow stronger. Greatly encouraged by this, she continued to use the pills for several months, and now she is a13 well as any girl of her age. Her appetite is good, and she has gained thirty-five pounds in weight. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have built up her system, and have made her healthy and active atter doctors failed to benefit her. I believe that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are the greatest growing medi- oine for growing girls, and I would advise their use in all cases similar to that of my daughter's." Miss Cloutier's story should bring hope to many thousands of otber young girls who suffer as she did. Those who are pale, lack appetite, suffer from headaches and palpitation of the heart, dizziness, or a feel- ipg of constant weariness, will find renewed health and strength in the use of a few boxes of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Howard, cashier of the Bank of Niagara, and Ethan Howard, his brother, both of Niagara Falls, had an exciting ex- perience recently, and one they Will not forget in a hurry. They spent the day ex- ploring Foster's Flats and the territory be- low this famous locality. They had with great difficulty gone down the river from Foster's Flats, skirting the rough and wild edge of the river, and intending to climb a bank at a sPot further down. The walking was very hard and progress slow. When they had gone a short distance from the Flats they ran into a den of rattlesnakes. First they knew of their danger was the rat- tling of a large snake immediately in front of them. The men grabbed clubs and des- patched the reptile, but hardly was this one killed when others were seen in the neighborhood, Seven snakes in all were seen, and of these four were killed by the Rewards, the body of one and the rattles of the others being taken home as evidence of the fact that rattlesnakes still exist on the Niagara frontier. Almost anything could live in the very wild region below Foster's Flats or on the Flats themselves. It is by far the oldest and most unknown ground within hundreds of miles. Reports of rattlers still living there come now and then from traveler% but no story in years, vouched for by people of well known reputation, in regard to these snakes, have been heard. They report that they were very much surprieed to lind the snakes, and that there are undoubtedly many more in the vicinity. They consider 'it unsafe for a man to penetrate to the isiya. teries of the gorge beyend the Fiats without thick leggings on. The snakes killed were rather large, three of them being over three feet in length, and the fourth being tome. what smaller. They had no weapons, save those, grabbed on the spot, otherwise they would have got the seven. Nine rattles were found in one snake, and these, with the skin of the biggest snake and rattlee, form an interesting reminiscence of au ex- citing encounter within a mile of Niagara.

Langour„ sleeplessness, loss of appetite, indigestion, and many other diaeomforts are caused by catarrh. But to know this is to only half, Catarrh is e most deadly disease, and effects more than 90 per cent. of the people to•day. It undermines health, and if unchecked will surely and quickly lead to the grave. Con. gumption can be traced back in most in- stances to a bad cold or catarrh that was neglected. Don't court this white plague, insure yourself at once against it by inhaling Catarrhozone, a pleasant antiseptic medioa- tion that is inhaled into the lunge, nasal pas- sages, throat and bronchial tubes, where it kills disease germs and prevents their de. velopment. Catarrhozone heals inflamed surfaces, relieves congestion, clears the head and throat, aids expectoration, and absolute- ly cures Catarrh and Bronchitis.

If you have good rich land, keep cattle, and if you have poor, thin Iand, keep sheep ; but don't try to keep both to- gether. The harvest in South Australia is the best experienced for many. years. The total yield is estimated at 13,690,000 bushels, which taken from 1,-600,000 acres gives an average of eight bushels and fifteen pounds per acre. No fruit garden can be said to be complete without its mulberry trees.
