ead The time has come for the inevitable
baby carriage. 4 ales were but little more than baskets, bh mp ane screwed on to axles, without springs.—

Gradually the springs h ive civen way to rigid strips of iron, imitatipg earriage as unfit and dangerous as a wheel- barrow for the delicate Inission of trans. ortivg an infant over rough crossings aud along the average sidewalk,
The baby’s tissues will not bear much jolting Its brain is gelatinous, and even its boues soft. Nature has made its b a in the mother’s arms and on the mother s brexst. ‘J'o change this for a springless cart is almost murder. Let any mun or

not euse it much.
The best form of baby-carriage is pro bably the perambulator, pushed from be hind. But this requires that the front axie shall be neutralized with springs equally with the back axle. - Yet, of cur- riuges now ov sale, not one in ten has any real spring, and not one in a hundnd a spring which breaks the concussion of the front as well as back axle. The special need of guarding the front axle of thi erambulater comes from the fact. that the front wheels ure the ones which scta- ally strike first and hardest against curb- stones and other obstacles.

If any parent wishes to get a baby carriage for a child whose life 1s worth insuring, let him or her buy nove in which the body, pressed by the hand, does not rise and fall easily on Its springs. And if a parent has a carriage without springs, or w.th only imitation springs, let him carry it to one of our carriage- makers, who, at moderate expense, will make it safe in this respect, end thus, perhaps, save the life of oue baby.

Ammonia in the Kitchen.
The pantry-shelves are getting grimy, er finger-marks around the door-latches and knobs are looking da:k and unsightly. For lack of time they are left day after day, for it is hard work to scour all the
_ time, and it wears off the paint, too. The
husband keeps his bottle of oil, or per- haps a large can holds it, for he never stints in that. Now suppose his wife has her bottle of spirits of ammonia to use ; she takes her basin of water and a clesn cloth, just put on a few drops of the fluid and wipes off all the dirt; it is worth more than half a day’s labor, and does not hurt the paint either. She could put a few drops in her dishwater and see how easily the dishes conid be cleaned; a few
“drops on a sponge would clean all the
windows in the sitting-room, making them shine like crystal. it would take the stains off the tea-spoons too, and a tea- spoonful in the mop-pail would do more toward washing up the kitchen floor chan ten pounds of elbow-grease applied to the mop-handic. A housewile has just as much right to make her work easy and expeditious as her husband has; if she does pot do it, the fault is her owa ina great measure.—Couniry Gentlenan.

Look after the nutrition of the trees. Some people say that land which will raise good corn will grow good fruit trees, which is all right; but they should add that, like corp, they require regular and continuous manuriog. There are some parts of the country where corn can be successfully grown for half a life-time without manure. On these soils we need not manure fruit trees; but in all others we must, to have good results. This is particularly essential where trees are grown in grass, as both the trees and the grass reqnire food. Where trees are grown in grass, we prefer top-dresslng in June or July; but if it has not been done then do it now. Where trees are kept under clean surface culture, the manure is of course plowed er harrowed in with the crop ia the spring of the year. To know whether trees require manure or not ask the leaves. If io July they ure ofa dark, rich green, nothing uced be done to them, but if they have uw yellow cast hun- ger is what is the matter. This, of course, is supposing they are not infested with borers, in which case they will be yellow- ish in the richest soil.
Parties wishing to get good fruit trees would do well to give their orders to Mr. Caldwell, who is now on the Island, and who is the representative of Sharp & Shea, of Woodstock, N.B., all reliable parties to deal with.

Thero never has been a time when the heal- ing of go many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed $ that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters
Dr. MELVIN’s CArstcumM Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. Al! other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to
} ! s@ it is entirely dif-
effect a cure; but witht is applied the patient
ferent: the instant one will feel its effect
-hysiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested yell know the eifect of Capsicum; and
always been moro or Jess used as a ical agent for an outward application; but only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster bave been discovered, Being, however, convireed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over fl other plasters, they now actually prescriba them, in their practice, for such discases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe yonrown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will seli hundreds to your friends.
Ask your druggist for DR. MELvrn’s CAPpst- CUM PoROUS PLASTER, and take no other; o7, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
