The two most absent-minded men on record are the fellow who thought he had left his watch at home and then took it out:to see if he had time to go back to get it, and then the man who put on his office door a card saying: " Out; will be back soon," and on his re turned sat down on the steps to wait for himself.

The show will be held at Exeter on the first Monday and Tuesday after the Western Fair at London. "Here is a little scheme for you" said a merchant the other day. " I sweep my store without raising a bit of dust. The brooms are dipped in coal oil before sweeping. The odor is unpleasant at first, but a few minutes' airing serves to remedy that evil. The oil takes up every particle of dust and leaves the floor as clean as when first laid. I have been using oil in this way for six months, and am satisfied that the scheme is good."
