her mother, who always had a good word to say 
to every one. “ Why,” she said, " I believe If 
Satan were under discussion mother would have 
a good word to say lor him.” Just then the 
mother entered and was informed what the 
daughter had said, “ whereupon she quietly said :

J. S. HOMANS, Jlnm-cs town, N. .1. 
The undersigned keeps a supply of Early Amber 
and Early Orange cane seed, the product of different 
latitudes; hence adapted to various climates. The 
Urange is especially recommended for sugar making 
and for districts subject to hot sun in July and Au¬ 
gust. It has received the indorsement of tho Missis¬ 
sippi Valley Cano Growers’ Association at its late 
meeting. 
Prices of seed nt Ht, Louts Early Amber, hy mail, II 
pounds, ifcl, by express or freight per pound, 16c.; 
large lots, IOC- Usual discounts to the trade. 
Early Orange, hy mall, 2}$ pounds, $|: by express or 
freight, per pound 20c., large lots, 16c. 
Kaunas Orange, for northern culture, prices same as 
Early Orange. 
No orders tilled for less than $1. Remit by draft 
muuey urder or registered Idler. 
Caution must bo taken in selecting Orange seed, as 
when cleaned, none but an expert can detect it from 
some other variety, and the desire to speculate may 
induce Home to mislead by Belling other need as Or¬ 
ange. It was for this reason that I bad placed this 
Heed in reliable liundH Just season for cultivation, in 
order to secure reliably pure seed for my trade.
