Throwing Pies BEFORE Swine.

All the railroad lines between New
York and Philadelphia IRE completely
strown every day with paper boxes,
thrown from the car-windows after
the lunch. contents are gone, and men
are constantly employed clearing the
debris from the roadways. ~ ", r.. e. :
This reminds one of an adventure at
. Western country railroad station
where, when the train stopped, sever.
al Of the passengers were astonished
to observe seven or eight swine racing
from q field near by up to the railway
track, hating beneath the car.win-
dows. Attention was distracted. how
ever, by the entrance Of 4 boy with
mice fried pies, only five cents
apiece" This really appetizing-look-
ing merchandise was eagerly pur.
chased, especially by any one who had
ever eaten a fried apple. turnover in
New England. But, alas the folly of
trusting to appearances for no sooner
was the first mouthful beneath the
teeth of the purchaser than a flavor of
strong butter, grease, and general mas.
tiness met his taste, causing him to
hastily raise the car.window and not
only eject the mouthful, but the re.
mainder of the pie from which it had
been taken,-a proceeding which the
hogs waiting beneath were evidently
we'll acquainted with, as they devoured
the discarded viands with much gus
to, and to the disgust of the passen.
gers, who thus found that they had
become swine purveyors, as doubtless
others had before them, judging from
the animals action.

Merchant Gargling Oil.-This stand.
ard liniment has been before the PEG.
pie Tor over forty years, it having been
first manufactured il 1888, and it is
safe to assert that no preparation in
the market has so fully stood the test
of time, and been received with such
universal favor as the Gargling Oil.
It Is found in nearly every household
in this country, and is also sold ex.
tensively in Europe. From very
small beginning the Gargling Oil Com.
pany has been obliged to steadily in.
crease it's facilities for manufacturing,
and now employs an army of men, and
occupies magnificent buildings of it's
own. Much of the success Of the com.
pany is due to the careful and efficient
management of Mr.. John Hodge, who
for some time has held the responsible
position Of Secretary, and who is also
