fOliye Logan's London Letter in Cincinnati

Yesterday had occasion 70 60 to Bell, the
chemists that renowned little physlc shop
in oxford street where Ii IS sald Queen
Elizabeth bought her pills and her boIuses
the only spot on earth, it is soemnly claimed,
where drugs Of the utternOst purity can be
purchased while there party OF Amer
leans came in with prescription which they
wanted put No and sent at once to the Lang
ham. While the white-apronod pestIe
FOUNDER went into the back Of the shop to
see about the prescription | greeted my ac-
quaintances (for | knew them. While we
were talking the drug clerk came back and
said it would take them till o'clock to com
pound that prescription. AS 1t was now 10
o'clock in the morning the owner OF the pre-
scription lit was that well known wag Harry
WI said he was afraid OF Earring the estab-
IiShment by such enforced expedition, and
that. rather than do that, he would prefer
month hence, when he returned from the Paris
Exposition, at which time his wife would be
cutie recovered If she wasn't dead. The clerk
stuck his tongue i'm his cheek in waggiSh
establishment that physicked Queen Eliza
beth, and said: "Why, sir, there's one fngre-
dent will take six hours to infuse.'
When we left the shop our Louisville friend
said: II was on the point OF replying that i
should think that an establishment of their
ia ed for use ut any time; but instantly saw
that that would be q foolish comment
It Is there probably, where the great repu-
tation of BELLS" has its source, not only on
account Of the purity Of the drugs they use,
but particularly on account OF the extreme
care with which every ingredient of every
prescription is compounded; fresh fnfuSiOne
are made to meet every occasion, and the &C
curacy employed is rs great at Bells as 1t is
at the Bank of England. "SlOw and sure" is
their metto, and it's good one, too, for all
people who keep shops where they are IL
censed to sell posOns.
Nevertheless, English slowness gives rise
to very funny complications sometimes
American business men can understand IT.
1t begins at the breakfast-table in the morn

| possible breakfast-ham and eggs, mullins

How lie Raised His salary.

Potter Palmer IL n busy man, and that he
now and then confounds things that are dissl
milar, or fails to associate those that are
alike, is not to be wondered at. In the null
tiplicity of his duties he IS often called upon
To act promptly and with decision. Some
times he is little too prompt, as the case in
point will show. A few days ago during one
OF his rounds through his paGitial hotel he
entered d room suddenly and discovered
window washer leiSurcly engaged in reading
newspaper. Being very active himself, he
has no use for a lazy man, or one who sights
his work. lie discharged the washer % the
spot and ordered him to go to the Office for his
pay The man obeyed, got his money, went
to his room on the upper floor, arrayed him
self In his Sunday suit, packed up his dudS,
ana descended TO the servants apartment to
take leave of his former associates. About
this time Mr. Palmer entered, but did not
recognize his quondam employee IN his store

there was good work in you; do you want q
job 2" The ex-washer, somewhat surprised,
admitted that he stood In need Of one. Can

he could. "Well," said Mr.. Palmar, I've

month, but II you will take the place and 20

sition was quietly accepted, and in hall an
hour the discharged employee was Scrubbing
away In the same old room.
About three years ago tenant having been
evicted from a mill and farm near Philips
town, In the Kings county, Ireland, the place
became forbidden to other tenants, but after

the venture. He was not long in occupation
when he was shot dead, In daylight at the
door OF his mill. The murderer was not

with notice Of death, but waS more fortunate

It is fearless, vigorous, and progressive. It's keen shafts of wit are pointed as lance. It's reading matter condensed. No long windy editorials. It's news varied and the latest It's different departments con- ducted with the greatest care: lts bold, open defiance against wrong is proverbal.

-PALATiBLE, PowERFtL, ANTtrrRI- opIc AND ToNIC.-All the neccssarics of a great popular remedy are combin- ed in Cliflord's Febrifuge. As \ tonic, in debilitated states of system, this rem edy stands prc-emincntly at the head. Yet 1t is more than is usually finder stood by that term, for no other prepa- ration known exercises an eradicating power over intermittent diseases, at all comparable with it. As it is probable that, in the intervals of the paroxysm of these diseases train of morbid ac- tions is going out of our sight, so it is equally probable that this remedy pro- duccs in the same system af attion equally mysterious, which supcrsedcs tliat of the malady and thus accom- plishes the restoration of thc patient.
