"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.

"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.

It is estimated that foreigners own

The opinion is expressed by a Ca
nadian physician that 50 per cent of

Wires and bars aro now produced
direct from fluid steel by pressing it

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

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."

This season is the worst for tho
circuses that thev have known in
ten years. It is'said that not one
has cleared any money, and many
have lost heavily.
Iuction Fraught with Danger.
Tnactlon of the kidney nnd bladder is
fraught with danger. Renal diseases of the
most stubborn and fatU character hare this
Initials j mptom. To disregard it is to Invite
them. Hostettei '3 Stomach Hitters has the
special quality of. stimulating urinary secie-

with health, and no further. It It not an ex
citant of the organs, like the untnedlcated
stimuli of commerce. It simnlv arouses them
when thflractlvity and lta'.itv are impaired.
This stlmul ttlnc and tonic actio 1 the Uitteis
likewise exerts upon the bow els the liver and
th-stomach, it nv-rts renal d scaurs, cures
dspep ia, prevents and remedies fever and

tion. No finer tonic exists, and to persons
with a tendency to go-it It strongly recom
mends itself, us it is a flno depurent of the
blood.
