HUMOR.
'The coolest man,' declares a contem-
porary, 'is the man who takes things eas-
iest,' Exaetl, . Such a man is apt to get
into a cooler.
Don't call a very large, strong, sinewy
man a prevaricator. If you are sure he is
a prevaricator hire another man to break
the news to him.
Wife—Oh, doctor, Benjamin seems to

A writer on political economy says :—

A r'rench farmer writes to his landloro:
"I have a great deal of stock on hand.
Should you want an ass, an ox or a pig

"It is love that makes the woil•l go

'Ma,' said Bertie, 'should I say pants or

mother. 'Well,th.en,'said Bertie, 'I tnink

"It is said no one is allowed to. speak

This is decidedly inconvenient. What is
a fellow to do when he wants another price
of pie? Perhaps he is obliged to "whliitle

Ex -Mayor Robert, Bowie, Brockvle, Oat.,
says: I used Nasal Balm for a bad, case of
catarrh, and it cured me after having in
effectually tried many other remedies. It
never fails to give immediate relief for cold in

A girl in Wisconsin has horns on ber
forehead, which she covers with her hair.
She -probably got the idea from the strong-

Urns in the mouth which they cover with
their mustaches.
A youngster sat watching his mother
while she 'pitted" cherries. She inadver-
tently passed oue without removing the
stone. Hopeful immediately picked it
out with the remark : 'Here's one you
didn't unbutton, mamma.'
" Father" said the farmer's boy, as he
rested on his hoe, " they say the fish bite
first rate now." "No, do they?" responded
the old mast ; "well, you goon and finish
this patch o' corn anI'll skip down to
the creek an' see what kind o' luck I'll
have."
And bad I better speak with your father
to -night, dear ?' lie asked, as be suddenly
continued to hold on to her with both
arms. `No, George,' she answered,. from
his top vest, button, 'not to -night. It is
nearly twelve o'clock, and papa has
doubtless gone to bed.'
'Young man,' said a stern professor to
a student who had been charged with
kissing one of bis daughters. 'Young
mac, don't you get into that habit —
"You'll find that kissing is like eating
soup with a fork.' -'How so, sir,' asked
the student. `Because, you can't get
enough of it.'
Avoid, by,nll means, the use of calomel for
bilious complaints. Ayer's Cathartic Pills,
entirely vegetable,have been tested forty years
and are acknowleged to be,tbebest remedy for
torpidity of the liver, costiveness, and all der
angements of the digestive apparatus.
At a recent marriage in a suburban
town the bridegroom, when asked the im-
portant question if he would take the lady
for better or worse, replied, in ahesitati-ng
manner, 'Well, I think I will.' • Upon be-
ing told that he must be more positive in
his declaration, he answered, 'Well, I
don't care if 1 do.'
' Pink silk,.uigitt dcesses.are.arnongthe
newest importations. When a man clad
in a pink silk night gown, gets out of bed
about 12 30 a.m. to hurl a bootjack at a
complaining cat, the probabilities are that
heis in nolmore pleasant frame of mind than
if he had been rpbed in a •muslin night-
shirt costing 20 cents.
The Boston Journal of Education says :_
="One of the most .mournful things in
nature must always be the inevitable ten-
h
young man in love toimagine

thing is that so many )people imagine
themselves poets without even the poor
excuse of being in love.
/n Brief, and to the Point.
Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. It is easily put out
of older.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours, ir•
regular habits. and many other things
which ought not,to be, have made the
American people a nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
a wonderaful work in reforming Ellis sad
business and making the American people
so healthy that they can enjoy their
meals and be happy.
Remember: — No hnppiness without
health. But Green's .August Flowers
brings health and • happiness, to the dys.
peptic. Ask your druggist for a bottle.
