In th© winter of 'VJ and T8 Mrs. Johnson
was, like many of her frieuds, attacked
with la grip|>e. Yes we've most of us had

Eehium vulgare,
commonly known
as Blue-weed, blue-
Thistle, or Bugloss.
Buglosi is formed
from two Greek
words equivalent to
boils (ox) and
glossa (tongue)
which combines
into bugloss (ox-tongue). This plant is a
member of tho borage family, known
botanically as Borraglnaceae (hairy-
leaved). Gray describes this family as
"a rather large family of innocent mu-
cilaginous, and slightly bitter plants;
the root of some species yielding a red
dye."
Eehium is from eehls (Greek for vl-

has been steadily at work for the last
eighteen months It took only a few boxei,
perhaps live or nix, to entirely cure her.
Since then she was attacked by rhetuna-

feet high, rough, hairy and leafy. The
leaves vary from lanceolate to linear,
the lower ones 5 to 8 inches long, be-
coming shorter above, tho uppermost

at once taking
pie she drove that pninful and dreadful
malady away. Sho told the reporter that
whenever she felt that sho was going to be
ill, she took one or two of the pills, and she
never got sick. Mrs. Johnson is perfectly
healthy now and promises to live to a ripe
old age. Her friends have never ceased to
talk about her almost miraculous recovery
and are loud In their praise of the l'iuk
Pills for Pale People, and all who have
tried them Kay they would not be without
them under any condition?.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are not looked
upon ns a patent medicine. An analysis of
their properties shows that they contain,
in condensed form, all tho elements neces-
sary to givo now life and richness to th©
blood and restore shattered nerves. They
are an unfailing specific for such diseases as
locomotor ataxia, partial paralysis, St. Vi-
tus' dance, sciatica, neui alj;ia, rheumatism,
nervous headache, the alter effects of la
grippe, palpitation of the henrt, t ale and
sallow complexions, and the tired feeling
resulting from nervous prostration, all dis-
eases resulting from vitiated humors in the
blood, such as scrofula, chronic erysipelas,
etc. They build up the blood and restore the
glow «>f health to pale and sallow cheeks.
They are for sale by all druggists, or may

The Maguey.
The cactus family are remarkable for
their power of withstanding drought,
growing as they do In a climate that s
for a great part of the year almost des-
titute of water, and being found as they
are on arid soils and bare rocks some o
them are. notwithstanding all this, rep-
resented as containing a store of whole-
some juice of which both men and cat-
tle avail themselves. But perhaps t e
most remarkable of all is a plant not
properly a cactus, but In some re-
spects similar, called the Agave or
American Aloe; and another species,
the Mexican variety, or Maguey plan ,
being the same as cultivated In our con-
servatories under the name of Century
plant. The Mexican variety grows to
an enormous size, and is cultivated in
that country as a hedge plant. The
fibres of tho leaves are under the name
of Maguey used for the manufacture of
thread, twine, ropes, etc., but Its prin-
cipal value Is for the juice, which yields
sugar, and which, when diluted with
water and subjected to four or five
days' fermentation, becomes an agree-
able but intoxicating drink called Pul-
que, which is the national beverage of
the Mexicans. This liquor Is obtained
by cutting or scooping out a basin In
the very heart of the plant, Into which
a juice called honey-water flows at the
rate of from four to eight quarts a day,
according to the size of the plant, and
continues to flow, according to our ac-
count, for a period of three months
whether the weather be wet or dry.

year to a year and a half, but let which

ed, and consist of a five-lobed or cleft
calyx, and a somewhat bell-shaped
corolla about an inch long, which is
purplish at first, but changing to a
light bine. When in full flower the
plant has a handsome appearance. The
nutlets, of which there are about four
in each flower, are small, roundish sfnd
rough, with a peculiar appearance,
which has been likened to a viper's
head.
This plant is a native of Europe and
Asia, but has become extensively nat-
uralized along roadsides, in waste
grounds and fields, principally in the
middle Atlantic States.

Trees, Exponents of Soils.
Soils may be indicated quite accur-
ately by the trees that grow naturally
upon them, since the native growth is
the one that has appeared there after
centuries of contest for the "survival
of the fittest." Other trees would grow
there if planted, tended and protected,
but the native tree is the proprietor by
natural selection.
The common beach flourishes on a
soil fairly moist and naturally clayey.
Pines and chestnuts choose a lighter
and often a sandy soil. Oak, hickory
and poplar choose naturally a soil that,
when cleared, is very appropriate for
wheat. Soils that produce beach and
maple will also produce corn, potatoes
and barley. White oak chooses a mod-
erately rich soil. Post oak grows well
on a soil that is dry and gravelly.
With it are found also Spanish oak,
black oak, scarlet oak, and dogwood.
Black walnut requires rich fairly dry
soil, such soil as will produce also
honey locust, red mulberry, shellbark
hickory, black sugar maple, hack-
berry and red elm.
White maple seems to thrive best on
the banks of streams, where pure wa-
ters flow over beds of gravel.
There seems to be a sure Index of the
character of soil in the manner of the
growth of trees. It will be noticed that
on a hard clay soil Jhe trees are of slow
growth, irregular Snd extremely un-
even in branches. Each year's growth

If this be as stated, it appears to me
that teetotallers may preach up temper-
ance and the people may sign pledges
if they choose, but when liquor can be
extracted from every hedge plant in
such liberal quantities I should sup-
pose there would be considerable dif-
ficulty in carrying out effectually any
law prohibiting the use, or the abuse,
or the manufacture of liquor.—A. Hood
Exhaustive Pollen Production.
I am glad to note that we are begin-
ning to look at things in a different
way. We must look upon plant life as
living animals, conscious of all sur-
roundings and appreciative of gener-
ous care; male and female brought in-
to existence by the same immutable
law that brings the mammal Into life;
that the exhaustive effort of procrea-
tion in the male animal when left to
unbridled excess, produces the same
disastrous effect upon the male plant
and brings on the same degree of im-
potency. What grower has meditated
and thought for a moment when his or-
chard was unfolding that magnificent
but excessive bloom in the spring,
every twig and limb loaded with beau-
tiful flowers shedding the golden dust
from the anthers which surround the
pistils, that the whole life of the tree
was being sapped and undermined,
and when in the years following, he
found his orchard dwarfed and its
fruit a mass of undeveloped hulks and
culls? In the animal he would have
well understood the cause that made
the offspring of even a thoroughbred
a scrub; but when seeking the cause
of decline in his orchard, he spends
his time in depreciating the unfavor-
able seasons, the drouths, frosts and
storms, forgetting that under proper
restriction the vigor of the tree and
potency of its pollen, and healthfulness
of its pistils would be equal to these
emergencies.—R. M. Kellogg.

other flowers offer them a rich and de

Like most other countries, Switzer-
land has in times past had its craze for j
Italianizing, and not wisely but exten- \
sively supplanted the native black bet
by the Italian, so that in many parts of
•he country the bees are gradually get-
Ing mongrellzed, and are becoming
vicious and savage brutes. But bee-
keepers are beginning to find out the
error they have made, and are often,
at considerable expense, returning to
the indigenous bees, or Carniolan, a
variety of the black bee.
It is generally admitted here by all
experienced and disinterested bee-
keepers, that the pure Germans*or Car-
niolans are the gentlest, the hardiest,
and most industrious bees known.
Their habitation the north of Europe
with its long and severe winters, its
cold winds and storm season—would
naturally, in the course of ages, evolve
a hardy and industrious race, fit to sur-
vive such conditions. That they are
better geometricians and build nicer,
straighter and more regular combs—in
fact, almost faultless—Is beyond dis-
pute. Sometimes we hear from a bee-
keeper that his black bees are vicious,
hut if he were to examine them closely
he would find that they are not pure
black, but have become mongrellzed
somehow.
A Statement Corrected.
"During the past two months or
more there have appeared in the vari-
ous newspapers east and west state-
ments purporting to give the present
corn crop of Kansas anywhere from
300,000,000 to 400,000,000 bushels, and in
numerous instances these statements
have been made as emanating from the
office of the state board of agriculture.
As a fact, however, this board h ,s made
no estimates and does not yet know,
nor does anybody elae know, what the
yield will be. It is a matter that can-
not be arrived at until a considerable
portion of the crop is husked.
"At the proper time in the near future
we shall be at much pains to learn from
every neighborhood and make pubile
t'ne actual output; until then any figures
given will be simply random guessing,
which is no part of our work.
"Kansas has a tremendous crop-
enough and millions for the cornless
elsewhere, but personally, in view of
the weather conditions of the past six
weeks, I regard the talk of 400,000,000
or even 300,000,000 bushels as uncalled
for and harmful buncombe."—F. D. Co-

Mulches—Mulches are applied In
winter to assist in keeping out frost,
and to prevent snow from being blown
off; they are continued in spring to pre-
vent the surface soil from alternately
thawing and freezing, and by retaining
the frost about the roots prevent too
early a development of buds and blos-
soms; but their principal use is perhaps
to prevent a too rapid evaporation in
hot weather and during drought, and
thereby preserve for the use of trees,
plants and vegetables the moisture that
is in the soil, and to retain for a longer
period than is otherwise possible such
as falls from the clouds; incidentally
they may to a certain extent prevent
the growth of weeds, and thus save la-
