There is talk of establishing q new
company in Paris after the model Of the
Pompes Funebres, but instead Of conduct
ing funerals the new company will get up
weddings of all prices and dimensions,
from the humblest of marriages up TO nup-
tials fit for a millionaire. The huge de-
serted buildings Of the Magasins Reunis
are spoken of rs the probable locale for
this new enterprise. A chapel and q
branch of the mayoralty will be installed
therein, so that the civil and religious
marriages can take place under the same
roof. A superb restaurant and spacious
ballroom for the ensuing festivities will
also form part Of the establishment. Car
riages, lawyers, priests, suppers, nay, even
the wedding finery, win be furnished by

Boston "reminiscences of Trade.

One of the most methodical and unim-
passioned men, says the Boston COmmer-
ctaL Bulletin, was Buckram, the former
dry goods potentate of Boston. His man
ner Of discharging one of the young
men who, after trial, was found not TO be
up to the requirements of the business" is
related as follows: The youth would be
summoned TO Buckram's desk and be thus
addressed:
james, how long have you been with
us?"
1.-TWO years and half, sir"
1.-TWO years and a halfg All! Have
you had any vacation, james,"
No, SIR" would be the response, as
James began TO entertain more kindly
feeling toward the "old man." who would
terminate the interview by saying:
"Well, James, you had better go up
home for awhile. Mr.. Balance, give James
twenty dollars; and, James, we will send
for you when we want you again"
One of the aforesaid boys, who did not
develop decided talent for the dry goods
business, incurred the displeasure of Bah
bidge, the partner Of Buckram, and, being
found unemployed one morning, was or
dered peremptorily to assist in sweeping
out. The youth did not obey the order,
but sought an interview with the chief
Obtaining an audience, he said:
" Mr.. Buckram, / do not think Mr..
Babbidge likes me, and he does not treat
me fairly at all, sir. This morning he or
dered me to sweep out, and, as have been
here three years, / do not think j ought TO
be called upon TO sweep out, and ] did
not"
Buckram settled his head little firmer
into his stiff shirt-collar and replied:
"Ah, is that SO, Edward? Well, If
there is such difference between you and
Mr.. Babbidge we shall have to part with
you or him. Mr.. Balance, won't you

The Strange Disease.

LIKE the thief at night, it steals In upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and sometimes in
the back They feel dull and sleepy; the
morning. A sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite is poor.
There Is feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach, sometimes faint, all-gone sensa-
ton at the pit of the stomach, which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and feel clam
my. After awhile a cough sets In, at first
dry, but after few months ii Is attended
with gTeenish- ColOrcd expectOration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
does not appear TO afford any rest After a
time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There Is
giddness, sort of whirling sensation In
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costiye, the skin is dry and
hot at times. The blood becomes thick and
stagnant, the whites Of the eyes become
tinged with yellow, the urine Is scanty and
high-colored, depositing sediment after
standing, There Is frequently splitting up
Of the food, sometimes with sour taste
and sometimes a sweetish taste. This is
frequently attended with palpitation Of the
heart. The vision becomes impaired with
spots before the eyes. There Is a feeling of
great prostration and weakness. All of
these symptoms do not make their appear
ance at one tune, but during the various
stages they are in turn present. II is
thought that nearly one-third Of our popu-
lation has this disease In some Of its varied
forms. IL las been found that medical men
have mistaken the nature Of this disease.
Some have treated il for liver complaint,
some for dyspepsia, others for kidney dis.
ease, etc, etc, but none OF these various
kinds of treatment have been attended with
success. 1t is found, however, that the
SHAKER EXTRACT or RooTs (not patent
medicine), when prepared properly, will re-
move the disease in all It's stages. Care
should be taken to procure a good article.
