CONSERVATIVES, TAKE ucE.-Every mo-
ment Of delay makes your cure more hope
less. and much depends on the judicious
choice Of a remedy. The amount of testi-
mony in favor Of DR.. schenck's Pulmonie
Syrup. as cure for consumption. far exceeds
all that can be brought to support the preten-
sions of any other medicine. See DR..
schencks Almanac. containing the ceriif-
Gates of many persons of the highest respeeta7
bility. who have been restored to heath, after
being pronounced incurable by physicians of
acknowledged ability. Schenek's Pulmonic
Syrup alone has cured many, as these evi.
dencee will show; but the cure is often pro-
NOTED by the employment Of two other rene
dies which DR.. Schehck provides for the pur-
pose. These additional remediesare Schenek 5
Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the
timely use Of these medicines, according to
directions. DR.. Schenck sertifes that most
any case Of consumption may be cured.

How a woman Posss a Lelter.


Any day when you have time you can
see how she does it by dropping into the
postotice. She arrives there with the
letter in her hand. 1t is a sheet of note
inclosed in a white envelope. She hslts
in front of the stamp window, opens her
mouth to ask for stamp, but suddenly
darts away and looks at the letter to see
if she made any errors in names or dates.
1t takes her five minutes TO make sure
of this, and then she bals noes the letter
on her finger and the awful query arises
in hermind:" Perhaps it is overweight
She steps to the window aud asks the
clerk If he has three-cent stamp, fear.
ing that he hasn't and she looks over
every compartment OF her portmonnaie
before she finds the change to pay for it.
The fun begins as she gets the stamp.
She sides around to one side, removes
her gloves, closely inspects the stamp,
and hesitates whether to lick" it on or
wet her finger. She finally concludes
that it wouldn't be nice to show her
tongue, and she vets her finger and
presses it over the envelope. She is so
long picking up the stamp that the moist
ure is absorbed, and the stamp slides off
the envelope. She tries it twice more
with the same success, and then, getting
desperate, she gives the stamp lick
and Il sticks. Then comes the sealing OF
/ the letter. She vets her finger again,
\ but the envelope flies open, and after five
minutes delay, she has to pass her
tongue along the streak Of dried mucil-
I age. She holds the letter long time to
make sure that the envelope is all right,
and finally appears at the window aud
| asks:
Three cents is enough is it2'
Yes, qua am"
And this will 60 out to day?"
Certaiuly'
%Win it go to Chicago without the
name Of the county onf'
"JaBt the same
What time will it reach ihere2
Tomorrow morning
She sighs, turnS the letter over and
over. and finally asks:
shall / drop, il into one OF those
places there2
" Yes. ma am"
She walks up in Gont Of the si1
\ orifces. through which letters fall opon
the table, closely scans e. Sch one OF them
finally makes choice, md drops-noo
she doesn't. She stops to see where i
will fall, pressing her face against thu
window until she flattens hex nose out o
shape, aud she doesn't drop it into th'
place she meant to. She, however
releases it at last, looks down TO maxi
sure that it did not fall on the floor, an'
turns away with sigh OF regret; that sh
didn't take one more look at the euper
scription.

The New York Sun, which shines for
all, relates how three prominent mer.
chants started to visit WallacS's Thea.
ter the other evening after having re,
freshed themselves eopiously at the club
When they reached the theater they
were in hazy uncertainty as to the
price Of tickets and the value of money.
The treasurer, however, relieved them Of
anxiety on those points by refusing to
admit them at all The merchant who
had attempted to purchase the tickets at
first felt aggrieved at the doubt of his
sobriety, but his friends Gained him
with the assurance that the treasurer
was right. Another of the party then
went to the window and said, "Gimme-
threekts" The treasurer firmly refused,
and told the gentleman that he was
worse off than the other. The third
then went boldly to the aperture and
said, Threeticksdamme, but even this
did not soften the obdurate heart within.
Finding that admission was not to be
obtained at the Broadway entrance, the
merchants resolved 10 moderate their
plan and 60 to the family circle. They
accordingly started for the Thirteenth
street door, and after much wandering
walked around the block and arrived at
The Broadway entrance again. They
we're astouished to find the same keeper

posed that be had suspected their design
and hurried 10 the window. Their new
application for admittanoe was treated
with contempt, aud the merchants were
advised TO 20 home But they were not
to be advised While two remained to
be sure that the ubiquitous treasurerd did
not move, the. third hurried away, ex-
pccting tofnd another man In charge Of
