SMOKING AND SALLowHEss.-The Home Journa
justly remarks
The next generation of the American men -
promise to be more salow more puny and dis
peptic than the one now laughed at by foreign
travellers for their peculiarities
Reason why: smoking has become positive
rage among the schoolboys and urchins, and ev-
cry second little william you see on the street,
particularly if well dressed, has cigar in his
mouth.
There are boys who may be benefited by this
admonition, if they will but receive it; and pa
rents who would be honored if they would en-
force it.
SoMErINC LIKE \ BANK.-William Smead,
the original banker of Cincinatti, thus adverti-
ses his bank in the Cincinnatti:
This bank was established in 1943 to make
temporary loans. l do not pretend to furnish
regular business facilities. A merchant, for ex-
ample, wants 5 1000 until tomorrow. This
costs him one dollar. Every Saturday the Bank
is thronged with master mechanics, disappoin-
ted in getting money to pay their hands. A
mechanic for example, wants 500 until Mon
day, for which he pays one quarter of dollar
This is the highest rate that has ever been char
ged. The banks books will show thousands of
such loans.-Long loans are made at lower
rates. 3"

He WORE FLAsHY wAIsTCoAT.-He wore a
fashy waistcoat on the night when first we met
with famous pair of whiskers and imperial of
jet. His air had all the haughtiness his voice
the manly tone of gentleman worth forty
thousand dollars, all his own. | saw him but a
moment, and methinks l see him now, with a
very fashy woistcoat and beaver ON his brow
And once again l saw that brow, no neat beaver
was there, but shocking bad un was his hat
and matted was his hair. He wore brick with
in his hat, the change was all complete, and he
was hanked by Constables, who marched him
up the street, l saw him but moment, methinks
l see him now, charged by the worthy officers,
with kicking up row.

his jigs.
