Doctors are guessers. If they guess
right you are all right-provided you pay

MERRELL's HEPATINE has cured more
cases of liver disease, indigestion, consti-
patton and dyspepsia, than all the doctors
and pills in the world combined. Ask
your druggist, Messrs. Simpson & Sadler,
about this medicine-HEPATINE. Each
bottle contains fifty doses, and will cure
any case of liver complaint in the world.

A RAT IN THE TELEGRAPH SERVICE.
A telegraph inspector in England recent
ly pressed into his service II rat under the
following peculiar circumstances 1t was
necessary to overhaul cable of wires
! inclosed in iron tubes. A certain length
of the cable had to be taken out Of the
tube, and the men commenced hauling
at one end without having taken the
precaution to attach to the othera wire
by which it might be drawn back into
the tube after inspection aud repairs.-
The question arose how the cable was to
be restored to its proper place; and here
the ingenuity of the inspector was mani
tested. lie invoked the aid of a rat catch
er, and, provided with large rat, fer
ret, and ball Of string wound on Morse
paper drum, he repaired to the opening
in the tube. The " flush boxes We're
opened, and the rat with one end Of the
string attached to his body, was put into
the pipe. lie scampered away at II rae
ing pace, dragging the twine with him
until he reached the middle Of the length
of the pipe, and there stopped. The fer
ret was then put in, and oil went the rat
again until he sprang clear out the next
fush-b box. One length of the cable was
thus safe, and the same operation was
commenced with the other ; but the rat
stopped short few yards iii the pipe,
and boldly awaited the approach of the
ferret. A sharp combat here commenced,
and it was feared that one or both OF the
animals would die in the pipe. But, af-
ter sundry violent jerks had been given
to the string, the combatants separated
the ferret returned to his master, and the
rat, making for the other extremity of
the pipe, carried the string right through,
and so relieved the inspector from his
anxiety. POpuidT Science MOnthiy.

PROCRAsTINATION.--In popular
downtown restaurant there was n waiter
who had an unpleasant habit Of saying
"One moment" Otherwise he was Il
good-natured ailable man, who did his
work we'll, but he was unable to break
himself of his one failing. If while he
was wiping knife or a spoon, custom
cr asked him for the salt, he would say,
lone moment" finish the knife, and
then hand the salt.
If he was polishing glasses and gen
tleman who had cup of coffee beside
him asked for the sugar, the waiter would
not set the glass down, serve the guest,
and then resume his labor but Z" one mo-
ment," and the sugar afterward II the
customer failed TO see it in that light and
repeat his request, the waiter would give
his napkin a deprecatory flourish and i'm
part to his reply Il slight accent Of re-
proach, "O-ne moment, sir"
Last week the waiter went over to Jer-
sey to visit some friends, and after day
of innocent hilarity he returned to the
railroad station from which he was to
embark for home. While waiting for n
train he stroled on the track and stood
looking down the long perspective Of the
road. lIe did not observe an express
train that was booming down from the
opposite direction, but he heard the warn
ing voice Of man on the platform shout
ing,
sect off the track! Get off the track"
"One moment, sir !" was the involun-
tary reply, and he tarried for an instant
to straighten kink in his watch chain;
but the express train was in hurry, and
in one moment he had gone where mo
ments are rs years. -Ne'o York Sun.
