excellent condition. Dessert pears consist of Ne Plus Meuris
and Easter ileum. Apples are confined to nonpareil and
court pendu plat. Of pineappleathere is afair supply. Salads
from France still arrive in good condition. Green peas
continue to make their appearance. Cucumbers are very
plentiful and cheap. Flowers chiefly consist of dentsiaa,
orchids, heaths, Chinese primulas cinerarias, 4:smellier',

purpose. The farmer then went off to an old well-known
practitioner, who being a bit of a wag, and seeing bow
matters were, entered minutely into the details of the ease.
expressed his concurrence with the patient's views, and
told hint he could mire him. He then wrote a prescrip-
tion, sealed it up, and told the farmer to go to a certsua
drusint in the next Pottery
.town. The farmer lost no
time In going with the prescription, but was somewhat
startled when the druggist showed him the formula which
ran thus :—" This man has got the cattle plague, take
him into the back yard and shoot him according to act
of liament." There is no need of saying that thiswan
