A deep wheelbarrow’ is more useful than one built on the old plan, be­ cause it will hold more, and the work of building such a barrow is not much greater. Any one who owns a wheel and irons belonging to an old wheel­ barrow can easily construct one by first procuring two stout pieces for the shafts and mortising them together firmly just behind the wheel. The next mortise must come 2 inches from the ground ou the legs at A. From this mortise the floor of the barrow must reach forward to R, where It Is sup­ ported by two false legs mortised into the shafts and reaching within 2 inches of the ground. The sides may be solid from the floor lip, or if preferred they may extend only to the top of the shafts, and from this point movable side boards may extend upward.

Most of the farms are smaller, and on a little plot a surprising variety of crops is cultivated—a few square feet of wheat, barley, maize and millet; a plot of beaus perhai»« ten feet wide by tweuty feet long, a similar area of potatoes and peas and a patch of onions “about as big as a grave;” beet­ root. lettuce, turnips, sweet potatoes and other crops occupy the rest of the area. The farmer examines his grow­ ing crops every morning. Just as an en­ gineer Inspects his machinery, aud if anything Is wrong he puts It right. If a weed appears in the bean patch he pulls It up; if a hill of potatoes or any­ thing else fails it Is ai onee replanted. When he cuts down a tree he always plants another. As soon as one crop is harvested the soil 1» worked over, manured, and forthwith resown to an­ other crop.

Nearly half the total population of Japan is engaged In agriculture. Silk and ten. the two chief exports of the country, are raised almost by the work of women.—London Times. From the hard times people will reap lessons of experience, learning how to act with more care in business and how to ap­ ply remedies for the stringency of such times. With more care we will have less accidents, and much less suffering if we know the true remedy. In the held and work-shop, indeed in all activities, sprains and bruises happen and bring the hard times ot pain and suffering. Experience teaches that it is always best to get the best remedy, which is the cheapest in the end. Experience points to St. Jacobs Oil as without question the best remedy for such mishaps, being the surest and prompt­ est cure. Suffering brings har.l times even in prosperity. The best remedy for it is the surest way out of them. Seventy-two races inhabit the earth and use 3,004 different tongues. There are about 1,000 religions.

The essential difference between Paine's celery compound and the be­ wildering number of sarsaparilla» and nervines that its snocess has brought into existence is that Paine’s oelery compound fnrnishes just the appropri­ ate nutriment to the exhausted nerves, and securely builds np the system against disease, while the unscientific remedies confuse and add to the de­ rangement of the organs. Paine's celery compound not only relieves, bnt effectively and perma­ nently cures. The most permanent and direot onre for debility, nervous weaknekh, lan- gonr, and a “ run-down" condition, is the strong, reliable Paine's celery com pound. The rasping, irritating effect of a badly nourished nervous system npon all the organs of tbe body ceases when this medicine is nsed. Paine's oelery compound is the most advanoed nerve and brain strengthener and restorer known to medical science. The tired, worn-ont sufferer, who is not advancing toward health, is fa ll­ ing back. There is no standstill in bad health. One oan endure a head­ ache or a backache onoe; one can en- dnre it twice, but the repeated siok headache and tbe oonstant pain in the back and in the region of the heart must be got rid of. For tbe permanent and positive enre of these nnhoalthy states of tbe body, xs evinced by re­ peated attacks of rheomatiim, neural­ gia. sleeplessness, or kidney trouble, there is nothing to be oompared for a moment with the great discovery of Prof. Edward B. Phelps, M. D., LL. D ., of Dartmouth medical school — Paine's celery oompound. If you are out of health or despond­ ent because of repeated trials of other remedies, take a fresh start. The brac­ ing weather is in yonr favor. Here is the experience— like that of hundreds of others— of Mrs. Lydia M. Hayden, of Marion, Ind.: “ Before commencing the use of Paine’s oelery oompound I was treated by many doctors, and tried many rem­ edies, bat did not get any better. 1 seemed to be all broken down. I was tired all the time, and my constitution seemed to be giving nut I weighed only 116 pouDds last fall when I commenced using Paine’s oel­ ery componud. In less than two months I weighed 124 ponnds, an un­ usual weight for me. 1 have had bet­ ter health ever sinoe, and have felt bet­ ter this summer than 1 have for yeara. "M y little daughter was away from home on a visit, and oame home look­ ing as if she had had a hard sickness. I went right away and got her a bot­ tle of Paine’s oeiery oomponnd, and she has had better health since than she ever had in her life, eats hearty and is growing fast.’ ’ There is no woman, who, in jnstloe to herself, can fail to take Paine’s oel­ ery oompound under similar oirotun- stance».
