"Did you ever hear that I had served
my time in the chain gang?" ho inquired
ot Detective naniiiey one day last week,
"No; W ell. I II give it to you so that you

My wife, was there nt the time visiting
triends. but I did not have time to ap
prise her of my coining. I made myself
up na tho seediest kind of a tramp, and
footed it into tins little placo just at

was my wife. I forgot about my dis

About that time tlio constable grabbed

up in a httlo calaboose.' Next day I
was found guilty and sentenced to eight

Tho problem of

being nblo to "see a
man during tho play without being
obliged to walk on tho toes of half a
dozen gentlemen, and, perchance, on tho
dresses of several ladies, lias been solved.
Thoso to whom the drink in the entr'act
iB an essential part of their enjoyment of
a performance can now, without leaving
their scats, indulge in tlieir libations. A
clever Boston chemist lias struck on tho
idea of having whisky handy and other
6trong liquors put up in gelatine capsules
liko those used in administering nause
ous medicines, only considerably larger.
Tho capsules are colored so as to resem
blo largo hot houso graiC8. They aro
easily broken in the mouth and tho con
tents Bwnllowed without attracting at
tention. Tho capsules are sold in boxes
containing a dozen each. Tho box is of
convenient size for tho pocket, and tho
quantity of liquor contained in tho cap
sules sufficient to make tho ordinary man
feel comfortably happy by tho time tlio
curtain falls on the last act.
The idea is not altogether an original
one. About two years ago similar cap
sules were sold in all tho leading drug
Btores in this city, but instead of being
gclatino tlio capsule was of very thin
rubber. It was soon found that tho rub
ber conveyed tho reverse of a pleasant
taste to the liquors, and they rapidly
went out of fashion. Tho new gelatino
capsulo imparts no flavor whatever to

cine should be abso

mother must be able to
pin her faith to it as to
her Bible. It muiit
contain nothing violent, uncertain,
or dangerous. It must be standard
in material and manufacture. It
must be plain and simple to admin
ister; easy and pleasant to take.
The child must like it. It must be
prompt in action, giving immedi
ate relief, as childrens' troubles
come quick, grow fast, and end
fatally or otherwise in a very short
time. It must not only relieve quick
but bring them around quick, as
children chafe and fret and spoil
their constitutions under long con
finement. It must do its work in
moderate doses. A large quantity
of medicine in a child is not desira-
ble. It must not interfere with the
child's spirits, appetite or general
health. These things suit old as
well as young folks, and make Bo
schee's German Syrup the favorite
family medicine.
