A Georgia Obituary.
Some of the rhymed obituaries in the
Georeia newspar me are ludicrous in the
extreme Hei c is a sample :
I gave him his medir'ine regular,
From morn till the set of sun.
He took two powders at ten °•cloak,
And another powder at one.

Something Lacking.
A man went into a drug store and ask-
ed for a certain headache cure. The
dreg;ist did not keep it.
"But we have something better than
that," said the clerk. "We warrant it to
cure, too,"
"What do you call it?" asked the pro-
spective customer,
The clerk gave him the name.
"Never heard of it," said the man with
the headache. "If it's g :od, why don't
yon aevertiee it ? Then I. would know
about it."
"Well," said the clerk, "a great many
people do know of it and buy it. You'd
be surprised how many of the headache
powders we sell."
Pert apo ; and you'd be surprised how
many more you'd sell if you'd advertise
them"
And the man with an ache under his
hat walke i out. The writer is willing to
make an affidavit to the truth of this
story.
The Fancily Joke -Book.
Every family should keep a joke -book.
Here are some extracts from one
Mother told Alice (three years old) one
morning to bring her a tack. "Is it a
bilious attack ?" asked Alice. Baby (two
years old) said nothi g. The same oven-
ing, at dinner at grandpas, baby was
merry. The maid brought her a dish of
preserves. "Here comes a bilious at-
tack !" she shouted. The rest nearly had
one.
"" Alice. dear, what did you see at
clew ch !" "0, Mamm:', I saw Mr.
(the minister) standing up in his dear
little wooden bath."

,whi'e ago."—Baby.
••Manama, why did God make you ?
Wae it because He knew you were the
kind of mamma I wanted for my
mamm y ?"—&ice.
Mammy explained to Alice about her
spirit. A few clays later she came run-
ning up and said : "Mammy, I knocked
the spirit in my elbow!"
A. new house f' r the family was going
up, •'Nurse," said Alice, "where were

built ?" "I was not born then, Alice "

Daddy was descending the Long Sault
rapid of the St. Lawrence on one of the
steamboats. Among the crowd on deck
a woman attracted his attention by her
lectures to her little boy, meant fir the
ears of her neighbor For example :
"Johnny, say 'them things,' don't say
'those things'—Canadians say that." At
length the boat came to the foot of the
rapid, where the water wells up from the
depths below in dark mysterious masses:
"Johnny," said she looking over the side
impressively, "'!:his reminds me of one
of Dante's infernal passages."
Legends oftbe Cross.
The cross upon which Jesus was cruci-
fied has been the motive for numerous
traditions, Mediaeval art and poetry
show that these legends were frequently
appropriated. A very general idea is
that the cross of Cavalry was made from
the aspen, and the incessant trembling of
the leaves of this tree is considered due to
this fact. Yet the legend of the aspen is
told differently in Russian folk -lore. It
is thought to be the tree from which
Judas, the betrayer. hanged himself.
In England the children will tell you
that lightning will never strike an elder
tree because from it the cross was made.
Another tradition says that the mistletoe
furnished the wood for the cross. It is
said to have been a stately tree until the
crucifixion, when it was condemned to a
parasite's existence.
A. large number of plants and 'dowers,
upon examination, prove to contain the
sign of the cross. The center of the red
poppy is cruciform. In some countries
the banana is never cut with a knife for
fear of breaking the cross which is out-
lined on the inside.
The bed's, pine, cypress, box and cedar
have all been named as probable trees
from which the dross was constructed,
the four trees seeming to represent the
four corners of the earth. From the wil-
low is supposed to have been cut the
scourge with which Christ was beaten,
hence its perpetual weeping,
The littte British .flowers familiarly
called "lords and ladies," to botanists
' known as arum, grew at the bottom of
the cross, it is alleged, and are known as
Gethsemane. The petals are supposed to
have been c',yed with the Saviour's blood.
The purple orchid has the same tradi-
tion in Italy, and mane' painters place
it in their pictures of the crucifixion.
TWO-HRADWD SNAKE,.
0
ft Will be Sent to the Smithsonian Inst1
tate.
Several weeks ago, while A. J. John-
ston and his son were loading hay in a
field near Jackson, Tenn„ they uncover-
ed a large Ynoocassin snake. Mr, John-
ston immediat ly crushed the head of the
reptile, and suppose he had killed it, for
the blow would have dispatched any or-
dinary • snake. But this one proved to
belong to a superior °lase of reptiles, It
had two perfect heads, one at each ex-
tremity. The son seeing his snakeship
moving off, remarked that he thought
that his father had killed the snake.
When, on examining the snake more
closely, they discovered its peculiarity,
but it was too late to capture the reptile
with both head i alive, and Mr. John-
ston finished killing it by sticking his
pitchfork through the other head.
The dried skeleton with skin intact,
is in possession of R. 0. Snider, the
jeweler at Jackson, and will be sent to
the Smithsonian Institution.
Right and Wrong Defined.
If there is a God who has created man
for his own purposes, what is mor,- mani-
fest than that His will regarding His
creature must be right, and whatever is
contrary to His will must be wrong? If
a mechanic makes a machine, it is clear
that it goes right when it goes as the
maker intended it to go, and wrong if it
does not go as he intended it should. A
new machine is usually accompanied by
new directions, so that the purchaser
may operate it correctly—that is, as the
maker intended it should be. If the pur-
chaser does not understand the direc-
tions, he simrly asks- the maker to ex-
plain them. Is not this precisely the way
we may arrive at moral right as dis-
tinguished from moral wrong ? Man is
not born with an innate sense of right.'
An unenlightened consoience is not a
safe guide. The greatest good to the
greatest number still leaves us in the
dark as to what good is. The most acute
minds which have treated the subject
acknowledge that the will of the creator
alone can be the ultimate standard of
right and wrong.
How are we to know the will of God ?
Like the machinist, God has sent Along
with his machine a book of directions,
the Bible, by following the teachings of
which man is en-ibled to know and do
the will of his maker. If he fiends any
thing therein obscure and hard to be
understood it is his privilege to a'k for
an explanation, for it is written "He
who willeth to do the will of God shall
know of the doctrine."
Arranged.
Promptly at the appointed hour Jupi-
ter called high Olympus to order.
"What is the pleasure of the house?"
he asked.
"Mr. President," said Pluto. "I wish
to complain of the ferry service across
the Styx. The boats are being danger-
ously overcrowded to accommodate the
traffic."
"Let me say," remarked Minerve, the
goddess of wisdom, "that I have ar-
ranged to have the human race have
more sense, which will unquestionably
result in fewer persons changing their
flannels et this time of year. r think
you will find the present ferry facilities
quite sufficient after my new system
gets into operation."
Accordingly, it was decided to lay the
matter on the table for the present.
The Size of Him.
In a western town a few years ago the
city council got itself into such bad re-
pute over the dispo al of a certain fran-
chise, that the people, to show their dis-
approval of venality in legislation, rose
indignant at the ensuing election and
turned every man of them out on the
cold world. Shortly after the election
one of the members of the crooked coon -
ell passed a couple of men talking on the
street corner.
"Who is that party ?" asked one of the
men, evidently a farmer.
'Oh, that's Tom Blank."
"Seems to me I've seen him before ;
does he live here 1"
"Of course; he's an ex -member of the
council, the last council."
"Oh, yes, I remember him now. And
I know him, too, but he's no ex -mem-
ber."
"Yes, he is."
"Bat I say not," insisted the rural cit-
izen. "He couldn't get ten dollars for
his influence and took five. That make;
him only a V -member, don't it?" And
the amendment was accepted without one
dissenting voice.
How It Failed to Work.
"I have told you it is wrong to quarrel,
Johnny," said his mother, wiping the
dirt and tears from his face. •' You
should have remembered that a soft an-
swer tarns away wrath."
"I did, mamma," said Johnny, exam-
ining with critical eye a scratch on his
fist, ''and it didn't do no good. When
he called me a mammy's darlin' I didn't
say anything. All Idone was to punch
'im in the face kind o' easy like with a
ball o' mud., He got mad at that, an' of
course I had to let im have it."
There never was, and never will be, a
universal panacea in ono remedy, for all
ills to which flesh is heir—the very na-
ture of many curatives being such that
were the germs of other and differently
seated diseases rooted in the system of
the patient—what would relieve one ill,
In turn would aggravate the other. We
have, however, in Quinine Wine, whoa
attainable in a sound unadulterated
state, a remedy for many and grievous
ills. By its gradual and judscious use,
the frailest systems are led into con:
valesconee and strength, by the influence
which Quinine exerts on Nature's own
restoratives. It relieves the drooping
spirits of those with whom a chronic
state of morbid despondency and lack of
interest in life is a disease, and, by tran-
quilizing tWe nerves, disposes to sound
and refreshing sleep—imparts vigor to
the action of the blood, which, being
stimulated, courses throughout the vents,
strengthening the healthy animal farm,
times of the system, thereby making
activity, a necessary result, strengthen-
ing the frame, and giving lite to the di-
gestive organs, which naturally demand
Increased substance—result, "improved
appetite. Northrop & Lyman, of To•
ronto, have given to the public their
superior Quinine Wine at the usual rate,
and! gaged by the opinions of scientists,
this wino approaches nearest perfection
of any in the market, All druggists sell
it.

He Did Not Press the Matter.
The prosperous -looking business man
was plainly angry when he walked into
the office and asked :
" Is there a man named Singlewood
here?"
The pale, solemn -looking young 'man
sitting at a desk in one corner of the room
looked up and replied :
"My name is Singlewood."
"A. J. Singlewood ?" asked the busi-
ness man, striding over toward him.
"Alfred J. Singlewood," returned the
young man.,;
"Your wife has ababy," exclaimed the
business man.
"Why, yes, thank you—a boy," The
young man fairly beamed as he started
to get up from the chair.
,get
mind the sex," returned the
business man, sharply. "Your wife has
a baby and you have a lot of fool
friends,"
"Well, frankly, the boys have rather
overdone the thing in an endeavor to be
funny. They've sent me rattles and bot-
tles and all that sort of thing."
"And they've sent you despatches,
t collect 7' "
"Two or three," replied the young
man, pleasantly ;''but aft -r opening the
first one I didn't accept the others. 1
couldn't afford to, you know. I told the
telegraph boys they must be for some
other A. J. Singlewood."
"Of course. of course," exclaimed the
business man. "And there's only one
other A. J. Inglewood in the directory "
"l know it,' returned the young man.
" He' , a' contractor over in the Skyscraper
Building. That's what I told the tele-
graph and messenger boys,'"
"You told 'em ! That's what you—"
The business man almost burst a blood
vessel, but finally calmed himself by a
great effort and went on : "Yount man,
that contractor does a large amount of
business by telegraph, and he can't afford
to refuse any despatches. The ones that
were not referred to him by you, yonag
man, were delevered to him in the first
pi••,es, and he has paid out $4,25 for such
rot as this."
He displayed a despatch which read,
"Trust the father is doing well."
ed Then warming up to his subject again
he said :
"The contractor, young man, is a re-
spectable bachelor, and it hurts hire to
he asked by wire if its a boy or a girl
And it roils him to pay half a dollar for
some blamed fool s advi e on how to
briug up a child. Suggestions that he
cell him Josephus tend t ruin his stand-
ing in the community ; and the hope, ex -
pre sed by telegraph, that he may have
many happy returns of the day makes
the men in the office snicker and lessens
his dignity.' Yo ing man, you'll pay me,
A. J. Singlewood, $1.25 for those des -
p, ll h
dee-
patches, take back the ribber dolls that
t
I have received, and admit in writing
that the baby is yours, or I'llgo to law
about it. Understand ! rut sue you for
the 14,25." '
"Well, Pll tell you," said the young
man, apologetically, "I want to do wha 's
right, but my salary isn't very large and
I can't afford to pay for the despa+che
and also the expense of the baby. Nuw,
if yon----"
But the contraotol'$had gone.
Laying for a Bargain.
"Look -a -here," he began as he entered
a Yonge street dry goods store .atur-
day forenoon with a bargainieh look on
his face, "you had some wimin's cloaks
here last October fur $15,"
"Yes, we did," replied the floor- walker.
"My ole woman wanted one, but Itold
her to.hold on. About the let of Decem-
ber them same cloaks was only $12."
"Yes, marked down to $12."
'My ole woman wanted to buy then,
but I told her to hold on. About the fust
o' January them cloaks went down to $9,
didn't they ?"
"Yes. We marked them down again "
"My ole woman couldn't hardly stan
still then, but I told her to wait, and
they'd be lower. About two weeks ago I
saw 'em in the winder marked down to
$7"
"Yes. We were willing to sacrifice
rather than carry them over."
"I had to git a rope around the ole
woman to hold her, but I knowed what, I
was about. Here's your $5."
"What for?"
"Fur a cloak with a 86 bust—black
cloth—horn buttons—two pockets, You've
marked 'em down to $5, of course, rather
than carry 'em over. I hain't as smart
as some, but when I kin save a straight
$10 bill I'm right thar' !"
"My dear sir," softly replied the floor-
walker as he returned the bill, "I'm sore,,
to inform you that—"
''That what?"
"That we haven't a single cloak left!"
The old man looked at him, turned
white and red and swallowed alump in
his throat, and all he said as he went out
was :
"Wall, by thunder !"

THE SMALLEST STORE.
New Yo k Has One in Which Three
Persons Would be Crowded.
The smallest business house in •New
York city is a little tailor shop located
at No. 13 North William street, a small
thoroughfare just east of the bridge and
off Park row.
The actual inside measurements of the
little shop are 3 feet 9 inches by 4 feet 2
inches, and there is just room for a small
gas stove and two three legged stools.
On one of these the tailor sits at his work.
The other is for the waiting customer,
for the business in this shop is mainly
in the nature of emerg nay repairs. If
there should be a rush of two customers
one of them would be obliged to remain
outside until his turn came.
The shop from the outside looks bigger
than it is, for on the wall there is a show
case filled with garments which looks like
a store front. It is, however, part of the
wall. For this tiny little shop the
lessees, a father and son, pay $75 per
month rental and make a living besides.
Only one of the firm is in the store at a
time, for obvious reasons.
Paper Hosiery.
Paper gloves and hosiery are named as
among the very latest novelties. Stock-
ings which shall sell at 3 cents a pair are
proposed. In fact the experiment of
making paper stockings has been going
on for several months, and the party
engaged therein believes that mittens or
gloves would possess advantages in their
season. The goods are light and airy
and very comfortable in summer.
When finished and dyed their appear-
ance is similar to ordinary fabric goods.
The knitting is from paper yarns. The
paper yarns are made pretty much after
the plan of making common paper twines
except that the former are put through
certain special processes. The principle
is that of making a sort of nap on the
yarn. This is done automatically. Or-
dinary paper twine or yarn is too smooth
but a good gigging up gives the yarn a
nap and ;his imparts softness. After the
knitting has been done the goods are
placed in a sizing bath made from potato
starch and tallow, whieh imparts solidity
and durability to the texture.
With paper passenger ear wheels, paper
water pails, why not paper socks and
stockings ?
A Warning.
People are warned against an insur-
ance ageat who is going through the
country swindling policy holders. His
method is to find out in what company
certain parties are insured, and go to
them with the statement that the com-
pany which issued their policy has sus-
pended, and that he has been employed
to assist in adjusting their affairs. • He
willlt k
tike great pleasure
in transferring
the pelicyo artliable company, riIn
order to do this he rr quires the victim to
sign a slip of paper supposed to be a
transfer, but which in a short time turns
out to be a note for $85.

A writer relates an interview in which
the interviewed tells how he tried to
change a pr sperms little weekly paper
in North Dakota into a'¢taily, He says :.
"Our ambitious souls aspired to some•
Ilan
something more metropoli-
tan i tan a newspaper published once a
week. 'We must have a daily.' Of
course the enterprising merehants patted

went in. While the novelty lasted the
advertisments flowed in in a way to de-
light the heart of the crankiest country
editor that ever sawed wood. But while.
novelty in this business is a thing of
beauty, it is not a joy forever by a darn
sight. The novelty wore off. It became
painfully threadbare in about forty-nine
days, and the advertising patronage
drooped like a consumptive rooster.
"Along in the early summer one day
Mrs. Kreutzer, wife r.f the leading drug-
gist, went over into Pembina county on

corning out, and looking so ir as a pot of

the obsequious friendliness our circum-

A TWENTY YEARS' SIEGE.
THE STORY OE A WEI,L•HNOWN
tIIIENVILLE COUNTY MAN.
Rheumatism Held the Fort for Twenty
Years—Resisting all Treatment and
Efforts to Dislodge it—The Patient
Thoroughly Disoonraged, but Act-
ing on the Advice of Friends, Made
One More Effort Which Was Drowned
With Success.
From the Brockville Times,
There are very few of the older residents
of this section to whom the name of
Whitm rrsh is not familiar, E. H. Whit-
marsh, of Merrickville, was for thirty
years a member of tho council of the
United Counties of Leeds and Grenville,
andon four occasions filler] the office of
warden of the counties. His son, Mr.
George II. Whitmarsh, to whom this
article refers, is also well-known through-
out the counties, and is the Merrickville
correspondent of The Times. It is well-
known to Mr. Whitmar-h's friends that
he has been a sufferer for many years
from rheumatism, from the thraldom of
which he has now fortunately been r -
leased. Mr. Whitmarsh, tells how this
was brought about as follows :
"For over twenty years previous to the
winter of 1894Ias almo t
w s a continual
imus]
sufferer from muscular rheumatism,
sometimes wholly incapaciated from
doing any kind of work. After trying
remedies of all kinds and descriptirins
without any benefit, I at last came to the
conclusion that a care was impossible.
In the fall of 1893 I was suffering untold
pain and misery and could not rest day
or night. Several of my friends strongly
urged me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
and reluctantly. I confess, for I had lost
faith in all medicine, I began to do so.
To my surprise and great satisfaction I
soon began to experience relief, and this
feeling grew to one of positive assurance
that the malady that has made life mis-
erable for so many years was leaving me
as I continued the treatment. n. B y the
