As the time is near at hand
when the farmer will house his corn,
we will state for the benefit of all
that before housing, put a few arm
fuls vermifuge weed in the bottom
of your cribs, something that grows
on almost every farm in the county,
and by so doing you will clear your
corn of weevils. "Don't say, "Well,
I don'fc believe it." Try it, as we
have done. It don't cost anything.
If it will, and you know it does, ex
pel vermin from the human stomach,
why not from corn. And a few
leaves of it will drive worms from
cabbage. Place a few leaves on
each plant and try it. Greenville

"My social blunders," said n near
lighted woman recently, "would fill a
book. Not long ago at an evening re
ception my hostess presented me to n
lady whom, having heard of before, 1
was specially pleased to know. We
talked together some time, and then
drifted apart. Later, in another room,
I saw standing near me a guest whose
features I thought I recognized, but
whose identity I could not place. As
she was disengaged, I approached her
in my blind way and said, 'Your face
is very familiar to me; where have I
met you before?' Imagine my conster
nation when she replied promptly and
with a justifiable curtness, 'Fifteen min
utes ago in the Iront drawing room.'

A DIsGfrnretl Countenance.
Many people who would scarcely notice
an armless or legless man will instantly de
tect and remark on any blemish of the hu
man face and dive into all sorts of specula-' '

stances. If you doubt this assertion become
possessed of a discolored optic and noto how
much attention it will invite. A black eye
is cenerally avoidable,but blotches, pimples
aud other scrofulous and eruptive murks
steal upen us without warning and are fre-f
quently the first intimation of the fact that
our blood is goins; wrong. A prompt and
systematic use of P. P. P. (Pnckley Asb,
