Good morning, have you taken your spring medicine yet ? During the hot weather this sum mer drink at the soda fountains. It's no wonder one of the billiard balls Is so red it's so often kissed.

It is nearly time to buy an Ice box, for very soon you'll need it: you just break yourself to buy it, and It keeps you broke to feed it.

Very odd are some of tho errands done by tho royal messenger service in Great Britain. At r.;i English seaport, for Instance, a i-ealed packet which was being conveyed across tho channel to Windsor i:i care of the British for eign office became accidentally unfas tened in the custom house, and a quan tity of cigars tumbled out. As the packet in question was invoiced as containing "important confidential gov ernment disuatches." uo littla amuse U he 3$ ment was caused. Nothing serious, however, came of the Incident, for it is a recognized rule that "the king can do no wrong," and neither, therefore, can the king's messengers. Besides, It is well understood that the service I maintained for other purposes than the nominal one. Dur ing the late Queen Victoria's reign these messengers used frequently to carry to the continent in sealed' bags supposed to contain dispatches shirts and collars of n special make and pat tern for one of the British ambassa dors, hats and bonnets for her majes ty's female relatives, all sorts of Eng lish knickkuacks for the late Empress Frederick at Berlin and even barrels of native oysters for the embassies at I'arls and Vlesna. For many years, moreover, It was the prai-tlce of the messengers to call eachj week on their way back to England' at Brussels, where they received from the court kitchens a box of special biscuits of which Queen Victoria wa:' very fond and which she believed no body could make as well as the hear pastry cook of King Leopold's kitchen This box of biscuits was solemnly seal cd up at tho Ijvltish legation with th official seal n;id then conveyed with infinite care o Windsor by way o' Dover and Louden.
