"Your maneuvers pure me,
You must either be lazy rogue, or silly.

Now for days and days we've met
Mid the pinks and mignonette
But you never seem TO carry any honey"

For q Thousand sunny hours

And you never dreamed OF poison being there.

Club Life i'm New York.

In the vestibule of the Union Club,
says the New York Times, sits installed
a porter, who opens and shuts the
doors, receives all letters for the various
members except those brought by the
postman, and sees that no improper
person enters the sacred edifice; from
the interior of the vestibule small
waiting-room branches off to the right,
devoted to the reception of visitors.
On the first or ground floor are spacious
reading and smoking rooms, the bar,
the Office, and the cloak-room. On the
second floor, the billiard-room, card
room, and library. On the third floor,
the public and private dining-rooms,
all luxuriously fitted up with single
eye to comfort, and without any at
tempt at elaborate establishment. The
kitchen is above the dining-room on the
fourth floor. This arrangement does
away with the unpleasant odor of cook
ing, which so often permeates houses
where the kitchen is in the basement.
An elevator running from the ground
floor to the dining-room is constantly
in operation. The card-room is fre-
quented by but small portion, even of
those members who take all their meals
at the club and make it their home.
Whist, euchre, all fours, ecarte, bezique
cribbage and picquet only can be
| played. Bets are strictly limited
Members must not have at stake, direct
ly or indirectly, more than the following
amounts on any of the above-men
toned games. Any violation of thi'
rule renders the offender liable to ex

The Only Way.

The only way to cure catarrh is by the
use of cleansing and healing lotion, applied
to the inf1amed and diseased membrane.
Snuffs and fumigators, while affording tenn.
porary relief, irritate the affected parts and
excite a more extended Inflammation. Be-
sides, no outward applications alone can
cure catarrh. The disease originates in a
vitiated state of the blood, and thorough
Alternative course of treatment is necessary
to remove it from the system. DIR. Sage's

efficient standard remedy for this disease,

How to Act i'm Case Of Fire.

First, do not be alarmed on account of
smoke. Frequently there is great deal
of smoke before the fire has made much
progress. Remember that one can pass
through smoke by keeping his head near
the floor, or by enveloping it in wet
woolen cloth. On entering room to
fight down a fire single-handed, keep the
door closed behind if possible. A pail
of water and tin dipper, in the hands
of resolute person, can be made to
work a miracle at the beginning.
If the fire has progressed too far
to admit of this course, and it is
necessary to depend on outside help,
then see to it - that every door
and window is closed. By so doing
where there is q fire-engine in the neigh
borhood, it will often be possible to
confne the FIRE to one room. Every
person who stops at hotel should take
special pains before retiring to note the
location of the stairways, so that in case
of an alarm he can find his way out,
even though the halls are filed with
smoke. Never leave room where there
is an alarm of fire without first securing
a wet towel, or, if possible, wet sponge
or piece of woolien cloth, through which
to breathe. If escape by the stairs is
cut of, seek an outside window and stay
there till help comes.

The Condition Of English Peasants.

The London correspondent of the
Tribune, in speaking of the condition
of the English peasant, says of him:
"He and his progeny do not live; they
merely exist. Poets have sung and NOR
alists sentimentally descanted upon the
British peasant; but strip him of his
romance, and look at him truthfully
and soberly, and he presents melan-
cho1y spectacle. He is merely beast
of burden; his condition is little better
than that of serf, if indeed it is as
good. He grovels in poverty and
wretchedness-often with an INSULT
cheney of food. And scarcely is he able
to dream of any more elevated state of
existence, for the social forces by which
he is beset almost entirely preclude him
from breaking through the bonds which
hold him. He is drudge; his Gfeis a
life of drudgery; and, from his cradle to
his grave, it would be difficult to see
where his existence could be illumined
by ray of prosperity or hope. At the
lowest rung of the ladder of labor, he is
forced to remain in his thralldom, both
intellectual and social, which the Gus
! tom of ages has imposed upon his class,

This very remarkable success has been
achieved in little more than ear and a

Their buyers are found at all the noted

the secrets Of the reputation for excellence,
