    'V'1! MpwMAY'S Sf OWTMEHT THE TRAVELLER'S BEST GOIPMKm (V A i When you rise in the morning, form a resolution to make the day a happy one to someone with whom you may come in contact. To be angry about trifles is mean and childish ; to rave and be furious is brutish ; and to maintain perpetual wrath is akin to the practice and temper of devils; but to prevent and suppress rising resentment is wise and glorious, is manly and divine. The Pope’s Eye.—The piece of fat in the middle of a leg of mutton is called the Pope’s Eye because one of the Popes of Rome was so fond of that particular bonne bouclie that he used to have a sheep killed almost every day for the sake of it. Sleep.—Those who think most—who do most brain work—require most sleep. Time “ saved ” from necessary sleep is infallibly destructive to mind, body, and estate ; and this applies to all. The only safe and sufficient rule for sleep is to go to bed at an early and regular hour, and rise in the morning on awaking. As to how much sleep anyone requires, each must be a rule for him¬ self. Nature, with almost the regularity of the rising sun, will unloose the bonds of sleep as soon as enough repose has been secured for the wants of the system ■HMEASONABIiE ADVISE — bd In August typhoid, scarlet fever, typhus, diphtheria, diarrhoea, dysentery, measles and cholera are general. To eliminate the specific poison to which these are due, and keep the blood pure, take Holloway’s Pills in sufficient doses to cause free but gentle action of the bowels daily, and well rub in Holloway’s Ointment liberally over the spleen, liver and kidneys night and morning. Let the diet be light, nutritious and non-irritating. msmenins twTHrrmtmh Plants, such as fuchsias, which are meant to bloom in the window in autumn, should be prevented from flowering now. Take off the tops of chrysanthemums. All bands tied round buds and grafts should now be loosened. According to some, it is better to pot auriculas now than in May. Sow cinerarias, petunias, and calceolarias; if left to the spring, these plants will not flower till the following year. Plant out biennial stocks in the borders where they are intended to bloom. Pick off dead leaves and reduce stray growth. Sow lettuce to stand the winter, spinach, and cauliflower, and trans¬ plant lettuces and every sort of cabbage. Hoe and thin turnips. Coleworts may still be planted. Caterpillars should be destroyed. Savoys and cabbages, which are particularly subject to their attacks, should be sprinkled with lime on dewy mornings.
