worse than l am. Go and attend to
them. l can bear it," Such was the
heroic reply of wounded woman who,

tween the elbow aud the shoulder, and her
face badly scalded.

PLAIN TALK
When it's hot he wants it cool;
When it's cool he wants 1t hot;
Ne'er contented with lot.
When it's dry,
He for showers is sure to sigh;
When-to meet his wish-it rains,

M. CHAMPION, French chemist, warns
amateurs who think of experimenting
with nitro glycerine that owing to its ex-
plosve nature il may give rise to severe

edge, several persons have been entirely
and permanently relieved of headaches
during experiments with the substance in
question by the simple process of remov-
ing the head along with the ache.-hr-

A PARTY of three men and woman
who saw in the pale moonlight the other
night, in lonely Western town what was
first declared TO be a ghost, then a bear,
and finally a hog, discovered, when the
bravest of them all crept cautiously up to
| it and struck it fearful blow with his
| cane, that it was huge thistle,
whose blossoms were the "glaring eyes of
the monster" and two sprigs, little above
the rest its horns"

became disgusted, and clinched the busi-
ness thusly: "We don't want any more
fooling about this here wedding. You
can fork over the 81 that the law allows
me, or will unmarry you right here, and
now" The young man wanted to hear
no more but from a well. filled pocket
book handed over the So and the bridal
party departed.
THERE is something very amusing in
the idea of what may be called ''the fitness
of things" in regard to snuff-taking, which
occurred to an honest Highlander, a genu-
inc lover of sneeZn'" AT the door of
the village hotel he observed standing a
magnificent man, in full tartans, and no.
ticed with much admiration the wide d.
mensions of the nostrils in fine turned
up nose. He accosted him, and, as his most
complimentary act, offer him his null for
apinch. The stranger drew up, and rather
haughtily said, ~ never take snuff.
