"I half wish you weren't going to marry Miss Spareribs," said old Mr. Cautious to his son. "Why not?" replied the young man. "She's worth $100,000." "She may be worth it to you," said his father, "but I doubt if she'll fetch it." "She doesn't need to fetch it," said tho young man, "I'm going after it." AT THE WITCIIINQ HOUB. Mr. Thimbleful, after making an exhaustive search all over the front door of his residence with the key of his office safe, sinks down in despair. "Well," he says, "t'is no kind o' use. O'n'y way I c'n see to remedy the marrer, is for builders t make th' keyhole bigger 'n ta door. Hie !" NO TEMPTATION. Arctic explorers rail the attention of Christian people to the fact that thieving is scarcely known among the Esquimaux. We beg the Chris tian people not to feel worried over the greater dppravity of their own race. There is nothing in Esquimaux land worth stealing. EOUGQ ON BATS, AND DNOLE OEOHQE. "It isn't true, is it7" asked Kollo, as he finished reading "Tho Pied Piper of Hamelin;" "it isn't true that he could play on hia pipe so that the rats would go off and drown themselves?" "Well," replied Rol la's father, "I don't know about that. I think it may be true. Your Uncle George can play the flute so that it will" scare a cow into the river and drive all the dogs in the precinct howling crazy. Yes, I guess the poem is true." And Polio's Uncle George was so mad he couldn't see, and he held hia paper straight in front of him and read clear through one of Sam Jones's sermons before he found out that it wasn't an account of the base ball game. WHY WAS nE SO SOBBY. An American traveler writes that while he was traveling with his fam ily through Syria last year an Arab offered him two camels and a donkey for his sister. Of course the traveler refused to sell ; no true man, worthy of the namo of American, would sell his sister for such a price as that; it's a mighty poor-sister that won't fetch four camels and a pacing mule but, oh, that man's punishment for the act he did! The remorse that gnawed at his victuals all that night! His wife heard him crying, and she said: "What is the matter? Why do you weep so bitterly?" "Oh, my dar ling," said the wretched man, in a torrent of sobs, "I- am so grieved that I refused to bring your dear mother with us on this trip. Oh, I can never forgive myself; never, never!" But his wife, although she secretly triumphed in his penitence, comforted him and said he could take her the next time. But he re fused to be comforted, and said, yes, but Otis chance would never come again. But she said ma would be just as well pleased to go to Saratoga and Newport next summer, and so she tenderly hushed him to sleep. And when she wrote home didn't she tell how dearly Harry loved ma, and how lonesome he was without her? Didn't she? Oh, didn't she, though? But her husband never told what an offer ho had for his sister until two months later. THE RESOURCES OP OUR COUNTRY. "Well, the fruit crop might be set down as a total failure," said the superintendent of tho largest fruit canning factory in the State, "a total failure, you might call it." That will almost close your estab lishment, then," said the'visitor. "Oh no, no," replied the superin tendent. "On the contrary, e will have to employ an additional force. Years when there is no fruit we turn our attention almost entirely to put ting up jellies, and then, a little later on, if the potato crop turns out as we expact, we will can about three million pounds of pears." And, as the visitor, silent with the awe that falls upon common people when they stanu in the presence of cenius, vent softly out of the office, he saw a car load of hoofs and horns unloading at the doors of the jelly department. Cheer Up! Help is at band. Tm afraid I stiall have to be taken to a hospital or to the poorhouse. Fvo been sick so long that my hus band, good and patient as he is, can't stand the worry and expense much longer." No, you won't dear wife and mother. See what Parker's Tonic will do for you. Plenty of women as badly off asou are, have been res cued almost from the grave by it. It will build you up, curing all ailments of the stomach, liver and kidneys, and is simple, pleasant and safe. Solid leather shoe buttons are now made, and at the rate of two or three hundred a minute. They grow a brighter iet the Jon gar thay are worn.

It is estimated that foreigners own about 25,000,000 acres of land in this country. There aro in England 137 ragged schools which are attended by 50,000 children. Tho number of childron of school ago enrolledi in the United States is estimated at'11,000,000. The opinion is expressed by a Ca nadian physician that 50 per cent of all diseases arise from the use of stimulants. A plan is on foot for utilizing the underground flow of the San Diego river by bed rock dams. Tho pro posed works will co3t some $500,000. Wires and bars aro now produced direct from fluid steel by pressing it out through dies in a manner similar to the production of lead pipe3 from lead. Connecticut is now the only State in tho Union, it is said, who3e legis lature retains judicial functions. The Connecticut legislature is still a su preme court in equity. Not many persons know that on the middle stem underneath a cotton leaf is a small cell or cavity that con tains a drop of blood which can be seen by pressing between tho thumb nails. In several villages of tho Viatki province in Russia, the peasants manufacture woo len watches, which work steadily, though they do not keep very accurate time ; all the part3 of the watch are of wood, except tho axles, which are of horn. On the walls of the largest factory in Norwalk, Conn., the following motto is displayed: "This factory will hereafter bo run without rum, o'r be closed. If any man employed here is seen drunk ho will be dis charged without further notice." "Lenses of rock crystal taken from the ruins of Ninevah," said a mem ber at the meeting of the microscon- Ists in Cleveland the other day, "sug- geau mm, uiicroacopes may nave Deen used in those days." No one knows, indeed, who did "invent the magnify ing glas3. The superintendent of the Elmira reformatory says that drunkenness can bo traced in the ancestry of more than a third of the convicts sent there ; that only bne in four of their parents has received a common school educa tion, and that, as nearly as can bo ascertained, the home influence in half the cases has been distinctly vicious. The Only Obstacle. At a seauco a widow whose mother had recently died, wished to com municate with the spirit of her hus band. The connection being made, she said : "Do you see much of dear mamma in Heaven, John?" "I never see her at all." "Is it possible, John," continued tho widow, regretfully, "that even now you cannot learn "to love mamma?" "I would bo very glad to love the old lady," replied angelic John, "if I had the ghost of a chance, but the trouble is, she isn't here. Perkins. "Snifkin failed ? Well ? I had a narrow escape yesterday. He tried to borrow $10 from me." Ponsaby. "You didn't lend it to him?" "No, indeed. I suspected there was something wrong, and and" "Well?" "Tire fact is 1 didn't have the $10." ''ItNuo use," says the despondent dyspeptic. But it in or use Your buf fering can be relieved: thousrnJs have been cured, and so can 3 on, Bioken down, desponding v.ctinis or djipopsia and nervo s debility will find in Sim mons Liter Regulator a specific which reaches the source of trouble and effects an absolute and permanent cure.
