Sample oopies on application. We heartily recommend this combi nation to oar subscribers. Something to Know. It may be worth something to know that tbe very beat medioine for restoring tbe tired oat nervous sjstem to a healthy vigor is Eleotrio Bitters. This medioine is purely vegetable, sots by giving tone to the nerve centres in tbe stomach. gently stimulates tbe liver and kidneys, and aids these organs in throwing off imporities in the blood. Electrio Bitters improves tbe appetite, aids digestion, and is pronounced by those who have tried it as tbe very best blood purifier and nerve tonic. Try it.

May not the cost of getting married in France act as a check upon marriage, and so partly account for the shrinkage of French, population? The other day a wedding waa thus celebrated by well-to-do middle-class folks in Burgundy, and may serve as a type. No less than five sumptuous banquets were given by the bride's father, namely, two dinners, two breakfasts and one ballroom sup per. At one of the dinners, to which sat down CO guests, no less than 50 bot tles of champagne were drunk, to say nothing of red wines and liqueurs. Strange to say, no one seemed any the worse. The respective processions to Maire and church on different days involved, the hire of 60 carriages, this coBt also falling upon the young lady's parents, the entire ceremonial involving' an out lay of several hundred pounds. Nor was the alTair less onerous to invited friends and relatives. The ladies were expected to display a new and fash ionable toilet upon each, separate occa sion banquets, balls, civil and religious celebrations. To the bridegroom fell all kinds of expenses, such, as fees, gifts to the church and the poor these, however, a trifle compared to the mental and bodily wear and tear of three days' per petual merrymaking; last, but not least, the necessity of looking pleased. When Anglo-mania has altered all this, and a Frenchman's wedding day means two or three hours' ceremonial only, we may expect the marriage rate to go steadily up.

A State Btreet fur dealer has evolved a striking novelty for advertising both his goods and his place, lie has a num ber of stuffed animals which he has mounted himself in various portions of the shop. A white polar bear, a lion, two leopards and other smaller animals are seea in various positions. In the show window are two lynxes and a llocky mountain lion, says the Chicago Chronicle. Every night at dusk when the store is lit us each of these animals is seen look ins- at you with blazing eyes. The lion's yellow eyeballs literally glow with fire. Crowds invariably stop in front of the shop to look at the lynxes' sparkling emerald eyes, and as that por tion of the show window is invariably kept darker than the rest of the store the effect from the outside looks pe culiarly weird and odd. "There is no Becret about it, said he the other day to an inquisitive call er. "Insulated wire have been run up through the creature's frames and. the eyeballs of different colors that you see are simply small incandescent globes that I hud made to order. The wires are connected with the service in the store and when the current is turned on, why, they too aro lit. No, the idea is not original with me. While in London last summer I saw the thing done in a ricadillr shoo. I thought it was a clever device, and I followed the sug gestion." J. A.
