that the room was in disorder, produced
all the effects desired. Julia went quickly
about the work of restoring things to the
right places, and In few minutes order
was apparent where confusion relgned be-
fore. little Tommy, whose love of ham,

mother, ceased his din on her sudden ap-
pesrance, and, for a few moments, stood
in expectation of boxed ear; for a time
he stood puzzled at the new aspect of af-
fairs. Finding that he was not under the
ban, as usHSl, he commenced slapping
stick over the top of an old table, making
a most ear piercing noise. Instantly Julia
said, in low voice, to him:
"DCn't Tommy don't do that. You
know it makes mothers Head eche."

: THERE was a little amusement in the
office of the Probate Judge of Cincinnati
8 few days ago. An exceedingly corpulent
gentleman called, and perspiringly asked
for marriage license. The accommodat-
ing clerk, of course, seized the blank with
'avidity, put down the date, inserted the
applicants name and then asked the i'm
patient lover the name of the prospective
bride This was a poser. The interro-
gated stared blankly at his questioner,
stuck his hands in his pockets, and finally
acknowledged that he did not know. The
clerk told him that the name was essential
to the legality of the license, and the un-
happy man departed, saying that newould
find out and call again.

Bili0usness.

BAD blood, too much blood, giving
headache, bad taste in the mouth of morn
ings, variable appetite, sickness at stom-
ach, chilliness, cold feet, and great suscep-
tibility to taking cold no one person may
have all these symptoms when bilious, but
one or more is always present.
Sometimes bilious person has yellow
tinge in the face and eyes, called 'bilious,
because the bile, which is yellow, is not
withdrawn from the blood; it is the bust
ness of the liver to do that, but when it
does not do it, it is said to be torpid, to
be lazy, does not work, and the physician
begins at once to use remedies which are
said to promote the action of the liver.
1t has been discovered within a few
years that acids "act on the liver" such
as nitric acid, elixir vitriol, vinegar; but
these are artificial acids, and do not have
the uniform good effect of natural acids,
those which are found in fruits and berries.
Almost all persons become bilious as the
warm weather comes on; nine times out
of ten, nature calls for her own cure, as
witness the almost universal avidity for
greens, and "spinach" in the early
spring, these being eaten with vinegar !;
and soon after, by the benign arrangement
of Providence, the delicious strawberry
comes, the raspberry, the blackberry, the
whortleberry; then the cherries and the
peaches and apples, carrying US clear into
the fall of the year, when the atmosphere
is so pure and bracing, that there is gen.
eTal good health everywhere.
The most beneficial and anti-bilious
method of using fruits and berries as
health promoters is to take them at dessert,
after breakfast and dinner; to take them
in their natural, raw, ripe, fresh state,
without cream or sugar, or anything else
besides the fruit themselves
Half a lemon eaten every morning on
rising and on retiring is often efficacious
in removing bilious condition of the sys-
