The Roman Emperor who prayed roo| that he might open graves and set free jmi their captives never dreamed of the jjef awful possibilities should his prayer be answered. Unnumbered graves are seel the premature receptacles of warm ure hearts chilled to death through lack of appreciative love. cou The family circle finds its expression eau of love in the kiss of caress or kindly 90jv greetiug; but the great world of loveless lives who know no home nor friend tjre V but God hunger for the sound of a ?.< voice or touch of a hand of a kindred guC) spirit; and hungering, starve and die. W(X Tbe dual commandment makes it obligatory to love, and, in the main, the true heart must love; whose circle JJ B # is bounded by the line of consanguin- ^ ity. Christ preached a greater love, growing by what it fed on, and he or rog? v she who enlarges the bounds of love UQ to admit the stranger thereto is following the Christ-like precedent. ? , All about us are hearts we may not Mi( .grapple "with hooks of steel" till they are tired ; but they are God's people, and alone in the human sense, andj onmoo nur Hniiv wftva. huncerinff I uiiiuowv^ux ?.v -1 r? o rp for a recognition which, mayhap, er- 1 rant fortune has denied them, and, u?a like derelicts upon the ocean, serve to ofE show a fate through storm and tem- f110* pest that might have been stayed with n fove and appreciation. of 0 God bless the man who invented the we hand-shake!

Searles, of Brooklyn, N. lonj Y., thus discourses on the apple as tiv< medicine: "The apple is such com- V rnon fruit that very few persona are on I familiar with its remarkably etficaci- Wfc " ous medical properties. Everybody has ought to know that the very best thing hop they can do is to eat apples just before bro retiriug for. the iught. Persons unini- sun tiated in the misteries of the fruit are the liable to throw up their hands in hor- que ror at the visions of dyspepsia which not such a suggestion may summon up, All but no harm can come to even a deli- Go( cate system by the eating of ripe and cur< juicy apples just before going to bed. The apple is an excellent brain food, i because it has more phosphoric acid in easily digestible shape than any other! vegetable known. It excites the actioft . of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep, and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. This is not all. The ? apple agglutinates the surplus acids of 801 the stomach, lhelps the kidney secretionsand prevents calculus growths, it P" ' obviates indigestion and is one of the r1 best preventives known of diseases of; JrPS the throat. Everybody should be fa-; miliar with such knowledge, and I ^ .1 hope you will help disseminate it.

Sometimes eggs are laid c.t night while the hens are on the roost. The cause is a weakened stale of the eg*- 1 producing organs ; the result of over- U feeding and lack of exercise. Hens which are unable to hold their eggs are usually too fat. A writer says that many fail to un- ^ derstand while yet it is the fact, that when cows are on good pasturage is when they need salt the most. The I better plan is to keep the supply in a [ convenient place where they can help \ themselves. One advantage with rock salt is that it does not waste to any i great extent if left exposed. 1 p ' The owner of a small farm who keeps only one or two cows is more interested, or should he, in having f choice animals than those who own large flocks.
